iTunes 7 is now available for download from the Apple site. The “check for updates” feature in iTunes 6 keeps reporting that the update server is unresponsive so if you want it, a direct download may be our only option for the near future.

Live from the Steve Jobs Keynote

Sep 2006
Engadget covered the “It’s Showtime” keynote that finished within the past 1/2 hour. If you’re wondering what’s up with the iPod, iTunes, and the iTunes Store, this is the post you need to read. (My favorite part, iTunes 7 will give you album art for your music as long as you have an account. This includes music you imported yourself!)

Podcast icons

There were others but they were mostly variations on the ones reprinted here. So, what do you think? Which do you feel should be the standard?

The iTunes Store is being updated.

I’ve moved my iTunes folder off the network to my now-larger hard drive (more about that later) so I had to resubscribe to some of my podcasts. Unfortunately, the iTunes store seems to be down. My guess is that they’re prepping the system for the soon-to-be-released movie downloads.

New YouTube Player
12
Sep 2006
It looks liek YouTube has improved it’s player again. The one thing I did notice worth mentioning is the fact that the embedded player (left image below) is different from the player used on the YouTube site (right image below). On the site you get time information and the ability to control the player’s volume. In the embedded player there’s only a mute button and no time information.
