MusicIP Mixer - spend less time picking your tunes

2006-12-31T13:33:52+01:00

Thanks to Alex I found the MusicIP Mixer , which is a fantastic tool that detects the "style" of MP3 tracks and suggests mixes of your tunes across the whole music library...

and if you have thousands of tunes in your archive already, that IS a real solution... amazing what gems this tool diggs out...

and the best: once you find a track that really HITS your mood 100% you create a new mix tailored to that mood - and even save if for later!

Fantastic to see applications becoming more and more personally appealing... don't wanna leave the machine right now listening to MY current mood mix :-)

Happy New Year!

Ipod Nano replaces Ipod Mini

2005-09-13T19:53:33+01:00

Apple Introduces iPod nano to replace the previous top-seller iPod Mini... altough the iPod mini sales were still booming, Apple ramped down the production while in the same time boosting the Ipod Nano production to feed the previous "Mini" demand.

Like the regular iPod, the iPod nano includes a backlit color screen (with a diagonal measurement of 1.5 inches, or 3.8 cm), Apple's Click Wheel navigator, and the same dock connector that supports USB 1.1 and 2.0, but, surprisingly, not FireWire.

The iPod nano includes a few features new to the iPod line.

World Clock displays multiple time zones (with clock faces appearing white for daytime hours and black nighttime hours).
A Screen Lock capability enables you to assign a security code to unlock the iPod nano's controls (turning the Click Wheel into a little combination lock), while Stopwatch is useful for keeping track of your time when exercising.

Usb Drive and iRiver HP support in WinAmp5 media library

2004-03-16T23:20:37+01:00

gUSB - all devices is another neat plugin for all drives including USB to be adressed in the media library of WinAmp - that includes my iRiver HP140 as well...

That makes copying the library to my player a breeze. Would be nice if you could exclude certain drives, just to tidy up the device list but otherwise, it's great! :-)

You can manage your MP3 too via the menu "send to..." of your context menu in Winamp ... cool

More information on it checkout the french site - the authors recommend: "if you don't understand any french word just watch the pictures ! it's explicit !"

2004-03-16T23:16:55+01:00

Finally an iPod device plug-in for Winamp 5. Send music to and from your iPod directly from the Winamp Media Library. Nothing could be easier...

oh - forgot my iRiver HP140 - that can receive all tunes, videos, CDs, ogg, documents - whatever you want - as a normal USB2.0 harddisk with 40gig size... -without DRM stuff and problems alike :-) anyway - great idea to implement such a plugin for the iPoders!
