Claire carelessly dies whilst cataloguing the TV Gallery acrylic triangles. SPC, soon to be PC, Lacey takes control of the crime scene ... or something like that.
Tomorrow the team *might* actually do some work, but for now they seem happy. Best not to disturb them.
FINALLY! I've been holding back for almost a year now, convinced that Apple must have something in the works that can open up my media library in my living room ... and today they did just that.
I have gotten very close to buying a full blown Mac Mini to allow me to play my music and videos on my TV and HiFi, but I was loathed to spend that much money on a device that was capable of so much more ... and then just play music through it. A few years ago I bought an Apple Airport Express, which allows me to 'send' my music from a Mac or PC to my HiFi. It's been fun, but it's not practical - and since you have to trek downstairs every time you want to change tracks - it doesn't really let you enjoy your music.
So along come Apple today with the announcment of the 'iTV'. A media adapter, for want of a better phrase. It's basically a cut down mac that's sole aim in life is to play music, videos and photos - in HD - on my lovely LCD TV. Although it's not available until Q1 next year, it looks like it may only cost about £170.
So many new things to think about in the space of a single presentation. I tip my hat - that floppy white one I got on holiday - to Apple.
Right ... I'd better start saving!
:o)
Apple has today updated it's iTunes software to version 7.0 ... and it's a pretty major upgrade.
It's far easier for you to just download it and use it, than for me to explain what's new ... but this screenshot gives you an idea of how the album art is finally being exploited.
If, like me, you have gaping holes in your music collection with no album art - never fear. iTunes 7 now downloads the art for you.
Along with a host of new organisational tools, this really is a decent upgrade ... and it's free!
