Didn’t occur to me until now how annoying this is. Fortunately, Daniel’s script fixes this annoyance.
Cool new feature of iTunes 9.
The iTunes organizational hierarchy has been slowly getting more and more disorganized with each feature Apple adds. When you let iTunes manage your files, traditionally they toss everything in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. That works great when everything in “iTunes Music” is, you know, music. Once they’ve tossed movies, podcasts, and a slew of other features in the mix, your directory hierarchy gets really nonsensical with everything in one big ol’ pile.
iTunes 9 finally moves away from this mentality, though the feature is hidden by default. iTunes now lets you organize everything into an upper level “iTunes Media” folder structure, which then breaks out neatly into logical groupings: movies, apps, shows, and so on. You can find this in File => Library => Organize Library. You’re welcome.
It’s pretty long (23 pages) but very interesting. I wish though he wrote a bit more about the new Services architecture and improvements in Snow Leopard.
The problem with eBooks today
Today I wanted to buy an eBook from eReader.com so that my commutes are no longer boring.
I add the book to my cart and, when I want to pay, I am greeted with the following text:
Warning: The eBook you just added to your cart has geographic rights restrictions. The billing country on your credit card indicates that you do not have the right to purchase this eBook due to rights restrictions by the Publisher of the eBook. Please either remove it from your cart or purchase with a credit card whose billing address is in the USA or Canada.
WTF? Did I travel back in time to, like, 1999? Come on! And you would think they want my money …
Any idea if the Sony bookstore has these stupid restrictions?
Tumblr here I come!
Just discovered the Tumblr iPhone app and I thought I’ll give it a shot.
Let’s see this time how much I keep at it.
