'Mobile Me' the new name of .Mac?

[The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] I can understand that if it's going to be used for devices other than "Macs" then the name doesn't make so much sense, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with iTunes - which as we know does a hell of a lot more than just Tunes.

Beatles coming to iTunes, Powerbook G5 on the way

[9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence] For those of you too young to remember, the G5 Powerbook was a similar monthy rumor a few years back that obviously never came to fruition. We'll see how this one does.

Do Microsoft Employees Use (and Love) Mac OS X?

[Chris Pirillo] iTunes is a must-have app on Windows for those folks who carry around iPods or iPhones without a Mac lying around. I’m not saying that I like it (I don’t, on either Windows or OS X) - just that users have a clear reason to have iTunes installed and running on either OS.

Powerbook Surgery: Upgrading the Hard Drive

[Phil Windley's Technometria] All those digital photos and trips to the iTunes Music store, I guess. At any rate, when I got a new 17 inch Powerbook a few weeks ago, I wanted more than the 100Gb that is offered by Apple.

Freezing the play order of a shuffled iTunes playlist

[Ölbaum's Delirium] The problem with shuffled playlists in iTunes is that if I quit iTunes at the end of the day, relaunch it the next day and want to resume playing the same playlist where I left it, iTunes will shuffle it again, meaning I'm likely to hear songs I already heard the day before. On the other hand, if I turn shuffle off, it will sort the songs in the order I put them when I created the playlist, which is likely to be in Artist/Album order since this is how I browse my library when making a playlist.

OSX: Backing up your music using iTunes

[CreativeGuy - Graphic Design Software Tips, Tricks and Commentary] One of the things that gets you through them is music. Personally, I have a few thousand songs, but my wife has something in the very high 5-figure range. I regularly back up her collection to an external hard drive and DVD.

growl 0.7: why I love notification

[walkah | striving towards mediocrity] the longer I go using my powerbook as my primary (only) desktop machine, the deeper certain things become ingrained in my daily routines. one big example is growl. so, in honour of the latest release (0.7) i thought i'd publicly exclaim just how much i like having growl. for those that haven't tasted this particular kool-aid: growl provides a framework so that applications (on Mac OS X) can create little popups when "things happen". so, some examples are : when the song changes in iTunes, new mail arrives, or someone says something in iChat or Adium. the interesting thing is that human brains are *really* good at recognizing patterns, and determining (almost instantly) relative importance. so, without really looking up from the code, email or blog entry i'm currently writing, i can stay on top of other things going on - without having to switch applications, etc. for example: i'm currently writing a blog post, and without changing apps (or even pausing) i can see that iTunes just...
