AppleScript: iTunes Playlist to DVD

AppleScript: iTunes Playlist to DVD 01/09/2004 09:58 PM
The Playlist to DVD application creates a QuickTime movie containing the audio tracks and album art from a chosen iTunes playlist. The newly created movie, and an album art slideshow, are automatically added to the currently open iDVD project. And since the added 640x480 movie is created with chapter markers, it's easy to sequentially navigate its tracks using standard DVD controls.

BadApple plugin: search and play any

BadApple plugin: search and play any
podcast in iTunes 06/17/2005 03:34 PM
Xeni Jardin: A message on Badfruit.com proclaims:

Podcast support for iTunes is here! Download the free BadApple plug-in which expands the functionality and interoperability of iTunes software. (iTunes is music software which works with iPod MP3 players.) BadApple adds interoperability to view and download podcasts directly within iTunes software. There's no need to download and learn other software programs because everything happens right in the iTunes software.

After downloading and installing BadApple, you will have a "Podcasts" link you can click on from iTunes. You can use this to browse through categories to find the Podcast you want. Each podcast has a description. Once you locate a podcast you are interested in, double clicking on the podcast will load it to your library. When you plug in your iPod the podcast will be loaded to that depending on your settings.

BadApple is free software. There is no charge to download the software or use the software.

DISCLAIMER: BadApple is NOT from the Beatles. It's also not from Apple Computer Inc. It's definitely not endorsed or approved by Apple. In fact, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want you to use BadApple.

Link.

Update: Sean Bonner points out that the app is PC-only.

And as regular BoingBoing readers will recall, Steve Jobs recently demonstrated a similar feature and announced that some podcast features will be offered in the next release of iTunes later this year. Perhaps a better title would have been "ImpatientApple"? I'm not yet clear on how this little rebel app differs from what the mothership has planned (other than the fact that whatever Apple does will also be Mac-compatible).

Boing Boing reader Chris Wells says, "I wanted to point out that I discovered this in the FAQ on BadFruit.com."

"Why was BadApple created? The goal is to make iTunes and iPods interoperate with other piles of media. I'm worried that when and if Apple adds podcast support they will only list a few podcasts that they approve. Remember this is a company that sues web sites that say good things about their upcoming products - bad Apple! Podcasts are significant because they offer a wide-range of diverse topics and ideas, not just those endorsed by one company. BadApple gives you access to all podcasts, - even ones which Apple might disagree with and never list in iTunes software. "

"I guess that would be how it 'differs from the mothership,'" says Chris. "We'll see how Apple feels about this plugin when they release the next version of iTunes, I'm sure (: "

iTunes User Sues Apple For Only Letting
Music Play On The iPod

iTunes User Sues Apple For Only Letting
Music Play On The iPod 01/05/2005 10:30 PM
Well, this should be interesting. An "unhappy" iTunes user is now suing Apple for antitrust violations, claiming that they broke antitrust laws by only allowing their music to play on iPods -- blocking out other music players from the market. It's unlikely that he'll win the lawsuit, and honestly, it sounds more like a setup by an Apple competitor than just some individual who feels wronged. The guy in question says he was "forced" to buy an iPod in order to make use of the music he bought on iTunes, but the courts will likely point out that he could have gone to a competing online music store. Of course, what this really highlights is how some of these copy protection issues are building fragmented worlds. How would people react if the CDs they bought at Tower Records could only play on Tower-branded radios? Thanks to the way the industry views intellectual property online, the end result is a lot of competing separate worlds, which actively discourages use.

The ruling deals specifically with people's First Amendment rights, but it may have a more sweeping impact. It's an outrage anyway you look at it. When people ask who'll police the police, they're talking about situations like this. Who, indeed?
