Strengths: Covers iPod, iPhone and Apple TV models available the latest version of iTunes. It’s a good guide to begin with anywhere and find information in that section. There is a helpful front tear (cheat) sheet has information about shortcuts, visual icons target additional information, tips and techniques. Good breadth and depth of information. Last section is most useful for intermediate to advanced users but possibly before chapter 16 as well. There are also companion sites for bonus chapters. Five helpful bonus chapters are located at an alternate dummies website. Comes with 90 minutes step-by-step DVD with instructions concerning how to make the most of your iPod and iTunes. Music Match, PC iPod users may find the information about this application useful.

Weaknesses: Black and white, text and screenshots did not “brighten up the instruction”. Too many words in places that don’t show/ define the helpful information more easily ( some of these are nested inside the long paragraphs, in and around, Tips and Remember extra notes). Hierarchical shortcut methods would have been easier to notice and read if they were in bold face.

Rating: 4.5/5

Itunes and iPods have single handily changed and continue to change our thinking about music. This book is a guide to allow music lovers to “get up to speed “ about hardware and software development Like many, I have used iTunes since it first came out. I am mainly interested in finding out helpful information about current development with the iTunes and other music developments that I did not know about.

The book includes 22 chapters which span a full range of ideas and information about iPod, iTunes and more. The author, a composer and touring musician, has written books related to computing, desktop publishing and multimedia including for Garageband and more. The main intent was to see if I could learn and more “ pearls of wisdom”.

There is a nice introduction ( interesting historical information about the first iTunes). Part 1 deals with setting up and working with media content while Part 2 focus is on managing your media content. Part 3 keys on the iPod but also now included the iPhone while while including Wifi information which continues to be be important to me and others. Part 4 includes iPod and Iphone and using these devices on the road. Part 5 outlines additional ways to work with your iPod while includes, “The part of Tens” ( information on problems, solutions and tips )about iPods, IPhones, Apple TV and web resources. The index includes Musicmatch Jukebox, managing the library while the bonus chapter 3, includes advanced Music match techniques.

Conclusions

This book is easy to read and provides much that is useful to beginners and intermediate users. The basics are well covered with helpful hints. But I did not see anything really enlightening in my case.
But the best part I6 found that might be most useful, were the chapters beyond 16: updating your iPod, iphone and Apple TV ; resetting an iPod touch or iphone; synchronizing personal info with your ipod and iPhone.

I’d recommend this book for someone who wants to update their knowledge about their home and multimedia, with iTunes and some of the other equipment. However much of this book looks like previous versions for the most part. If you don't’ have an iPhone or iTouch, you won’t use those two chapters near the end.
Loads of good information about wireless information, sound and music ideas including nice section about utilizing the equalizer, encoding audio, enhancing your music library, mobile iPod on the move and more. Ten iPod problems and solutions is well done. If you use the PC version of iPod and use Music Match to work with your iPod music library, this book also me helpful for you. If you have a PC, iPod and iTunes this may be most helpful.

All in all, this book is a good resource library for most who are starting with iPod and iTunes on a Mac or PC. But it just did not have enough new information for my particular needs. Most will find this version of this book helpful if they are first time readers of this guide. However if you are like me and don’t have an iPod, iTouch or Apple TV player just the iTunes, you already may know most of the information. The bonus DVD did not give me more information that I already knew. Sometime extra multimedia can be over kill. But like I said, if you are still looking for added insights, especially if you are a new comer or have limited use of iTunes or just purchasing iPhone, iTouch, you may find the book and DVD more helpful then I did. It just did not have enough new information for me “even with the fluff”.

Reviewed by Dr. Eric Flescher, Olathe, KS(dreric1kansas@aol.com)

I have had all types of earphones over the years. While I don’t own an iPod, I’ve used earphones extensively fwith my iMac computer and iTunes, on my laptop and on jets.I am not an “earbud person” but prefer the” on the ear fit because for me, these feel more comfortable. When I look for a good earphone, I look for ones that are comfortable, light weight, have good fidelity and are good the price. Well I am happy to say that all these factors are in the excellent category.

I heard about these new iFrogz Earpollution line of earphones which launched in November 2008 ( Before then, iFrogz only offered the D-33 earbuds, but no other earbuds/headphones). . Based in Logan, Utah, it is a leading developer of accessories for iPod™ and other consumer electronics with the expressed intent to individualize the look of music lovers iPods and additional music related devices. EarPollution is the name for the new features which include three different types of headphones : eardbuds, on-the-ear and DJ-style. These are currently available online and in retail stores and there are different types to choose from to meet your needs. These affordable earphones come in a variety of fashionable colors (silver, gold etc). Each type of headphone in the new EarPollution line features three or more different styles that vary in function as well as look. All of the new headphone styles give crisp, clean stereo sound.

Providing unique styles have been a trade mark of this company’s designs of accessories. There are a three types of Earbuds: D33 – Noise isolating with a snug, secure fit and rich, deep sound. Each package includes three ear fits and a convenient travel case; Plugz – Noise isolating headphones that provide a crisp sound and the comfort of direct-to-ear delivery. Each pair includes three ear fit pieces ; Metal Drumz – Noise isolation with a sleek metal direct-to-ear delivery. Each set features clean stereo 20 sound and dynamic bass. I am not an earbud fan and so I let my wife test those out. (She liked the fit ).

There are several option/ characteristics for the earphones that make them highly desirable for use with iPods, MP3 players, for music, listening and other activities.

Earbud style earphones includes the following:
D33 ($19.95) are noise isolating with a comfortable, secure fit and give a rich, deep sound. Each package includes three ear fits and a convenient travel case.
Plugz ($14.95) are noise isolating headphones that provide a crisp sound and the comfort of direct-to-ear delivery. Each pair includes three ear fit pieces.
Metal Drumz include noise isolation within a sleek metal direct-to-ear delivery. Each set features clean stereo sound and dynamic bass. The speaker is wrapped with a chrome accent and each 3.5mm jack is encased in a stylish metal sleeve.

On-the-ear has these features.
Toxix ($19.99)– Stereo headphones offering a stylish and comfortable fit. I particularly like the way they are adjustable to fit your ears and the way I wanted them to fit around the padded phones. I liked the simple grey fashion color.
ThrowBax ($29.95) – Offer a little more options and are stylish, retro design and comfortable with a fit which yield a deep bass and smooth stereo. Metallic coated speaker cups easily adjust for a perfect fit along the metal side rails. Each pair also features padded ear cups for extra comfort and noise isolation.
Nerve Pipes – Feature chrome multihued accents and contrasting color. Comfort cushion ear cups, a foldable headband and rotational hinges adjust for the perfect fit. Each pair offers deep rich bass and smooth stereo sound.
Fallout – A traditional fit offering smooth tones and dynamic bass. Each pair features comfortable cushion ear cups for extra noise isolation, chrome accents and contrasting color.

I don’t have the expensive top of the line Bose acoustic ear canceling headphones headphone, which is supposed to be (one of ) the best so I can’t provide a direct comparisons. However I did a lot of research and bought the popular Sony noise canceling headphones MDR-NC6 ( which at that time were a little more then 2 times the price of these). These have a slight thin padding over the ear cups while the earpollution ones don’t have a pad over the top. I would compare these to the Toxix earphones with the a nice inner reservoir which contrasted with the Sony’s fit of a padding over the reservoir. The Sony also uses a battery that can turn off/on the noise canceling. This is on the right side of the headphone while t he ear jack connects to the left side. The Toxix also has this configuration with the ear jack on the left (seeing which one is left/right is a little more difficult to see but is evident after l looked more closely.

Insert my19songstesting.jpg

I am not a musician by any means. I only can do a little dabbling with piano and that’s it. My children are much more musically inclined and know more then I do about music. They know and hear the subtle parts of music, instruments and harmony when they play their instruments and listen to their music on their iPods. I enjoy music and the musical scores that are my favorites. So I have to go with my what I hear. I also have to admit that I wear hearing aids because I have lost some of the” high end noise” capabilities. I use hearing aids mostly when working with students in the classrooms and in public. When I listen to music, it is 90% of the time with headphones on my Imac. I can hear the subtle sounds and basically am focusing on the music now and what pleases my ears and the sounds I expect to hear when I listen to my music. I don’t use the hearing aids when I listen to the music with the earphones. I am hearing what comes to me through the headphones.

I had to set up a way to test the earphones while playing my music on my Imac and my iTunes. I chose 19 of my songs and put them on a playlist and then whittled the list down to one song to compare for this review. That one that I selected for the final decision was Arrowsmith’s Armegedon because of the musical score, voice accentuation and the full range of instruments employed

Basically to test the fidelity, I made the following settings on my iTunes by first setting my iTunes to the following:

iTunes > Windows (setting) > Equalizer > Acoustics.

I put the earphones to the test by listening to my favorite (no snickers please) music that I enjoy and felt would highlight the different instruments, music and voices to compare and contrast. I listened to a range of ones that I liked for this testing playlisting. I then compared these to my other earphones.

I finally narrowed it down to one song to test Arrowsmith’s Armegedon. This song has the drumming in the background and with the music flashing back and forth between the different sides of the headphones. Full range of orchestra instruments to listen to and “zone in on”. I wanted to see whether the earphones would transmit certain sounds that I expect to t hear. The tingling of the triangle instrument in the background near the end, the vocalization, the violins and more. Then I rated the song by listening through the earphones alternating each pair and then trying to decipher and write down the differences if any. I did this 10 times for each headphone for this Armegedon song.

Conclusions:

This was tough as they are both good models. I basically was evaluating the earphones on three characteristics that I selected as I felt these are what and most people look for when they order/buy headphones.

(1) Style and comfort : Toxix 10/10 (exceptional) with Sony 9/10 (good).

For style, the iFrogz are more stylish and have more colors.These headphones are light, smart looking and are versatile. The ear buds have different parts to them which create even more comfort. Each pair also features comfort cushion ear cups. They both were adjustable although the Sony’s were a little easier to adjust as the track was not as “sticky”. Comparing I give the Topix 10/10 to the Sony functional not splashy but nice 8/10. The Toxix are little lighter but I really like the padding with the Sony. While that makes them slightly heavier they are very comfortable and I love them too. Hard to decide but the edge goes to Topix.

(2) Fidelity : Toxix 9/10 (exceptional) with Sony 10/10 (good).

Sony I could hear that the piano was a little cleaner. I noticed with the drums blending in really clearly. With the Sony, I could hear the subtle low piano sounds in the background in the beginning and then followed later with the drums over it with the choral instruments. There is a tingling instrumental in the background as the words flow along. I could hear the tingling trailing off in the end.The violin with a little clearer. More music was coming out of the left ear. Lots of the tingling in the background which was very clear and distinct. Not as much base. I felt that the sound resonating from the reservoir made it more melodic. There seemed to be less bass sound and much more of the subtle instruments in the background and I could hear the bugle like instruments clearly. The tingling triangle was there at times throughout. There was a lot of resonance back and forth with the two sides of my headphone. The violins were really melodic and stretched and you could hear the violins going all the way until they lowered and died out. It took many trials but I noticed that the vocalization was very clean. It melded with the symphonic sounds well.

I felt that the Topix had more base sounds in the beginning. The piano was really evident in the beginning and was a little cleaner with the drums and the violin in the beginning. Some of the sounds were a little shrill. There was a lot of blending of the instruments. Horns were in the background. I could hear the tingling and could hear the violins in the background. The piano sounds were clear. I seem to notice the bugle type instruments better. I could hear the "tingling triangle sounds" but it was a little muted. Had a little more base throughout. I liked the stereophonic blending between and back and forth both sides. The instruments in the background were not as evident. In the end the music trailed off with the triangle blending. I finally targeted that the vocalization was definitely not as clean.

This was really tough. The headphones are both tremendous and sounded great. It took 10 trials to find out which had a edge. The edge in fidelity goes to Sony because the vocalization was much cleaner. The lead singer had a much clearer tone even when it seemed like he was “screaming”. It sounded less “hoarse”.

(3) Price (for performance): Toxix 10/10 (exceptional) with Sony 8/10 (good).

So the final tally is Toxix (29/30) to Sony (27/30). But your tally might depend on your musical needs and more.

There are many reasons to buy one headphone over another. I chose my three top preferences. What I like is that both these earphones provide the music that is very engaged and easy for listening. They are both comfortable with little differences between the two. With the Toxix, being lighter, I almost forget I am wearing them. In fact, if they have a model someday that is not tethered to the device, these might be ideal. The Sony is a little cleaner sounding with the vocalization. If I would fly on a jet as I will do soon, I will take the Sony because of the noise cancellation capabilities to test those and possibly compare to these at that time. But that’s in the future.

Lastly, both earphones are great sounding but the edge may go with you if you prefer different colors and styles. Check out the Toxix earphones are great buy for the price, acoustics and their styles. They would go well with any music device, many iPod/ MP3 player colors . If I were you, I would run out, find them, try them out and/or buy them. I think you will be as glad as I am. Plus I did not have to “break my bank” to hear some cool, soothing music!

Times are changing. Sometimes this newsletter does not go through Yahoo (don't know what 's up) or I run out of time. In the meantime, all of this newsletter and more (cartoons, graphics, visuals that can't go on this newsletter) will appear at my blog as well. So you can see it on the newsletter and on the web. That way you can also do RSS feeds and I can do more for the newsletter and the related blog.
I don't have an iPod yet but I am thinking about getting the iPhone for all it can deliver once I can either contact with anyother carrier other then AT&T. I don't mind AT&T as we just go cable and internet with it (finally we could break out of the Comcast high speed stranglehold - which sucked ). I like the DVR capability (even running shows in the past ), recording more then one movie at a time, all the other channels and the on screen menu and more.
I have not upgraded to Leopard yet, I have tried some RSS feeds, have several blogs and websites. Then again I am trying to do my videos and put them on DVD. It seem strange that Apple has completely overhauled their iMovie but I am not surprised as I have had trouble synching to doing my DVD with iDVD so I am hoping when I get the new iMovie and iDVD things will be better. I will have more to say on my blog (try it ) and more in future issues with reviews.

Meanwhile I wonder whether it would be better to shut down this newsletter and just put it up on the blog or post this on the blog too. Any thoughts?

2007: The Year in Review

from Macworld 12/2007 P.132 " 2007: The Year in Review" by7 John Motlz (crazyapplerumors.com)

middle column

" Truly the "IT" device if 2007- if not the decade, century, millenium, and indeed all of time and space - the iPhone finally arrived on June 29. Its arrival was greeted by a chorus of angels , followed by a solar eclipse , an overflight by a flock of doves , and a dire warning from a strange bearded man who kept mumbling something that sounded like " $200 price -cut."

Hilarious!!

Very cleverly done. I have seen several total solar eclipses and am a big mac fan.

Creating a time-lapse effect
You can create a time-lapse effect when you import prerecorded video from your camcorder, or when you capture live video from your camcorder or iSight camera. This is useful if you want to show the progression of an event (such as a blooming flower) in a fraction of the time it took in real life.
Note: You can't create a time-lapse effect for video you've already imported into an iMovie project, but you can use special effects to speed it up. To learn how to use special effects, see Related Topics below.

To create a time-lapse effect when importing prerecorded video:
1. Turn on your camera, and connect it to your computer. If you need help with this, see Related Topics below.
2. In iMovie HD, press the camera icon (shown above), and choose Time Lapse from the pop-up menu.
3. Select the Capture Frame checkbox and specify the number of frames from which you want iMovie to capture one frame of video.
4. Click OK.
5. Import your video into iMovie as you normally do, using the iMovie capture controls. If you need help with this, see Related Topics below.
To create a time-lapse effect while capturing live video from your camcorder, connect your camcorder to your computer using a FireWire cable, set your camcorder to Camera mode, and remove the tape. In iMovie HD, press the camera icon (shown above), and choose Time Lapse from the pop-up menu. Select the Capture Frame checkbox and specify the number of frames from which you want iMovie to capture one frame of video, then click OK. Click the Import button at the bottom of the iMovie monitor to start recording. Click Import again to stop recording.
To create a time-lapse effect while capturing live video from your iSight camera, press the camera icon (shown above) and choose iSight or Built-in-iSight from the pop-up menu. Press the camera icon again, and then choose Time Lapse from the pop-up menu. Select the Capture Frame checkbox and specify the number of frames from which you want iMovie to capture one frame of video. If you're recording into an iSight-formatted project, choose whether you want to permanently embed date and time text into the video. Click OK. Click the Record With iSight button at the bottom of the iMovie monitor to start recording. Click Record With iSight again to stop recording.

feedback from others so far:


(1 of 1 users found this comment useful)Bobby T (Bobby Thompson) It took me a little time to figure out how to configure a couple things, not everything is intuitive right off the bat... But after figuring out there were additional selections server settings, i was able to get all the files to go where I wanted them...

Otherwise everything seems to work great...


Best of Its Kind - Version: 1.3.6, 8/4/2006 06:26PM PST

(1 of 1 users found this comment useful)mjmorrison As a developer I can say that this is great work. Also, the developer is quick to return email and he really wants to maintain this as a great program.

For podcastsers this is a no-brainer.

Keep up the great work!



Awesome Program - Version: 1.2, 8/20/2005 01:14AM PST

(2 of 2 users found this comment useful)timstree_dotmac Feeder is a full featured program, but simple-enough to use, even for those still learning about RSS feeds. If you don't need a particular feature, you don't have to use it, but it is there for you later on when your needs grow.

Best of all it doesn't take a lot of effort to get a new feed up and running. The validate feature is not something I'd seen in other programs and is reassuring to have especially if you are just beginning.

I recently had a question about something I was unsure about and the developer replied to my question in under two hours! I would happily recommend this program to anyone needing to create RSS feeds.
