„The new iPods can also be used for recording voice memos and storing and transferring photos (on the mac). Currently the iPod is the number 1 in popularity and accounts for over 55% of the dollar sales volume of all MP3 players.“

„On the other hand, as far as I can see the rest of the thing is identical in terms of design, software etc., so it's not going to detract too much from the overall experience - presumaly people will only buy them if they don't mind the colour anyway (see http://www.colorwarepc.com/products/accessories.aspx). As far as I can see this is an excellent opportunity for Apple to increase the market share for iTunes and AAC as opposed to WMA - think about how big a retail presence HP has, and iTunes will be preloaded on every HP PC - and therefore can only be a good thing. Presumably there'll be a clause in the contract saying HP can't undercut Apple, and this isn't like the original Mac clone fiasco in that the gadget is identical and so not diluting the brand experience.“http://sceefy.typepad.com/norfalse/2004/01/ while_im_not_su.html - Cached

„Fill my iPod Limit to 4 gigabytes selected by random By adding date (note: both recording date and date added), rating within genre, device-oriented measures such as gigabytes, track title, and composer_name vs. artist_name, they've already enabled a rich set of possibilities. My earlier post picks out a few more angles such as location, instrument/technique etc., but Apple are really forging ahead here, imho, by integrating quite powerful operations in highly accessible, consumer technology.“http://www.tidbits.com/tb-issues/ tidbits-702.html - Cached
„I can't tell you how many times I find myself happily pruning my iTunes database - searching for tunes that would fit a themed playlist, adjusting Genres for ever better Smart Playlists, checking for "most-listened" and "least-listened" tracks... all of which pays off when I can be the "instant DJ" for friends who say "have you heard artist x??" and I pull out my trusty iPod (small enough to carry everywhere in my cargo pants) and say "yeah, which album do you wanna hear?" Or, I can make special playlists ahead of time for friends I know I will be hanging with.“http://www.dykesdodigital.org/archives/ cat_gadgets.html - Cached
„The Belkin voice recorder accessory is really nice, but in addition to the recording functionality being folded into the iPod itself, I'd like to to see voice-to-text implemented seamessly on the mac side. Record notes, dock the ipod and you most recent voice memos are downloaded to the mac and run through the voice recognition software to create written notes.“ posted on 2004/07/27http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/12/30/ wish_list.html - Cached
„One of the godsends of iTunes is the "smart playlists" feature — I use smart playlists almost exclusively (they're the purple-colored icons in the screenshot). Essentially, a smart playlist allows you to set certain criteria that determine what songs are in the playlist, which is then automatically updated by iTunes. For instance, I keep three smart playlists synced to my iPod at all times: "new additions", "random unplayed", and "random 1gb".“http://www.michaelhanscom.com/eclecticism/2003/10/ meme_2_itunes.html - Cached

„Given the tedium of getting all those ID3 tags right, I came to rely on a simple folder structure for album / artist identification and just focused on getting the genre right for playlists. So when iTunes offered to "manage my collection" I was both intrigued and concerned. Was this going to be an improvement or a disaster?“http://piquant.us/shades/2003/10/ itunes_for_the_.html - Cached

„Although I’m painting a somewhat scary picture, iTunes made it so easy to clean up and re-organize my music. The interface allows me to selects groups of music and edit them globally, or edit each file one by one. For example, when I saw that all my BT music had a ton of Genre listings ranging from Pop to Electronic to Trance, I simply selected all of the music listing BT as the Artist and then in one step, changed them all the Electronic.“http://www.mashby.com/archives/000521.html - Cached
„While iTunes can simply play your CDs, it can be more useful sometimes to import the music from the CDs to your computer hard drive. That way you can build up a library of music tracks. Later on when you want to listen to some music you can just choose which tracks you want to play, play them in any order you like, or even possibly produce a compilation CD for yourself.“http://mactips.info/articles/itunes.html - Cached
„The problem that I've noted all along is that in order for most of those playlists to work, you have to tag every single song you own with every relevant piece that you may want to use as a playlist variable, which means basically filling out a gigantic form for every single song. I would expect only the slightest percentage of even the most strong iTunes users to do such a thing...“http://www.cityofsound.com/blog/2002/07/ mood_music_and_.html - Cached
„The Option-key trick is all well and good, but many iTunes users are after a more-permanent solution. The always-excellent Mac OS X Hints site publicized one such solution yesterday: opening Terminal and pecking in a command that reverses the way the link arrows work: Option-click to search the music store, click to drill into your local library.“http://macilife.com/2004_04_25_archive.html - Cached
„Earlier this month, UK newspaper said that the European record labels were scared of Apple, fearing the company would be so successful in Europe with the iTunes Music Store that the company would gain too much power within the industry. Apple, in turn, has reportedly been working very hard to secure uniform download rights and pricing across Europe, where copyright law is a patchwork from country to country. "When we launch in Europe, we want to do it well.“http://news.linkspider.co.uk/pages/186/97.html - Cached
„Commenting on the success of the iPod and the iTunes Music Store, Steve Jobs last night said that Apple has become the "Microsoft of music stores," once again shocking the Apple faithful. A Macworld UK article notes that SoundScan, a company which assesses digital downloads, has declared the iTunes Music Store the market leader with 80 percent of legal music downloads last week. This huge market share coupled with Apple's market-leading iPod music device makes Apple the...“http://www.stargeek.com/item/67828.html - Cached
