I dropped a DRM ACC file on Peak and using quicktime (I'd imagine) it opens it as a raw aiff file. It can then be saved as an aiff or mp3 (with the lame plug-in) or whatever have you. The point is... the DRM is really pretty lame. It's more like aggravationware... and that's why I probably won't use the service. The DRM is just aggravating. I don't need files with some silly DRM that just makes it difficult to use and worry about backing up.
I hate to say it, but what an absolutely awfull show. It was embarassingly bad. Oh the horror. I'd rather see Dr. Who reruns. (Actually I would like to see Dr. Who reruns.) But beyond being a really, really bad show, this is proof positive that no one in the entertainment biz has an original idea. Redo a really, really bad SciFi show from the 70's like this. They might as well redo Lost in Space or Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. (I better be careful, don't want to give them any ideas.) Ballestar Gallactica... oh the humanity.
Installed and ran dailys/prebinding and permissions. I've had pretty good success with the app. One exception, and it's a big one. Audio editing is almost guaranteed to crash the app. Audio edititing is one of the big breakthroughs I was looking for. It's a shame it's crashing the app like crazy. Editing sound on the video file and editing music beds and sound effects in the two audio fields will bring down the app about every other edit on one of the files. I'd like to hear if other folks are experiencing this. Hopefully a fix will be on the way. I forked over 50 bucks for this upgrade with the new idvd, I'd like it to work sooner than later.
Off the top of my head there are probably 3 or 4 partially unionized markets in the US. The VAST majority of the radio personalities are not in a union, I'll bet 99.9 percent. The last thing CC or Infinity wants is union. In fact, the vast majority of the jocks doing this are in non-union markets. Get lower paying jocks to fill many jobs. In fact, CC uses smaller market jocks to voice track larger markets. The larger market jocks used to be paid more.
Also the Dick Clark and Casey Casem analogy isn't right. These folks did weekend and day-parted syndicated shows that we're never intended to infer that they were local. Voice tracking is filling dayparts in all but the drive times and drive times are in many markets syndicated with national personalities.
The real problem here is that radio is eating its young. With the day-parts being eaten by voice tracking, there is no farm market for new personalities to learn their craft. CC is screwing themselves in the long run.
Don't get me started with this crap. 100,000 thousand radio jobs have been lost in the last 10 years. Thankfully I'm not one of them. I became a dreaded media consultant.
If my memory serves me well, it did open right around LOTR and I'm sure that didn't help. But I'd say that the mair reason it "tanked" probably had more to do with the current state of affairs of the TV series. It didn't have a monster promotion machine of a hit (read HIT) series running on TV to drive fans and other folks to theatres. The series is tired, so I would bet most folks thought the movie would be "tired."
But I'm so damn disgusted with the whole mess I don't even bother. In the napster heyday I was buying music like crazy. More than I had in years. I'm in my 40's and way out of the demographic for music comsumers, but I was downloading on napster and finding new music and buying cd's like I was a teen again. Since the riaa nonsence I've stoped buying cd's (althoug I did become a member of emusic, what a great collection of jazz and blues. actually I see emusic as the worlds largest cut out bin.) I refuse to buy my teenage daughter any cd's this christmas. screw the greed of the record companies. And to top it off, my mother bought some crappy cd at target that refuses to play in her older cd player. she's returned it twice and they refuse to give her a refund. I just can't believe how insanely stupid the record companies are. treating your customers like thieves and criminals is no way to run a business... but a perfect way to ruin one. fark the record companies right in the arse. they desirve it. morons.
I don't want to admit to how many of the damn things I have, but I have a 450 g4 that runs a protools rig and it never boots into x. I forced myself to use x on all my other machines, imac's and ibook's since the beta, and I can tell you that os9 is much faster in everything from finder tasks to scrolling. But keep this in mind... all that "speed" does not make up for the crashing you get even on a finely tuned os9 box.

This is just insane. When will this ever end. HP should be thanking them. I think what needs to be done is a grassroots lobbying campaign amongst the "hackers" to create their own soft money lackeys in DC. And do away with all this DMCA and RIAA BS once and for all. I'll click the paypal button.
The itools area was full of really ANGRY responses to the move to a paid service. In the last 5 minutes apple hosed the itools area (and all of the posts) and changed it to a bunch of.mac faq's. Also the itools.mac feedback page is not functioning as well as the rest of the feedback pages at apple.com. I think this thing is gonna bite them in the ass.
The only thing I use is the mac.com email address. When itools first started I decided I would use the mac.com email address as the address of choice for all of my personal business (ie: bill paying, on-line purchasing, etc...). I figured, "this is a great idea. I mean, after all, I'll only loos this email adderss if apple goes under. and that's unlikely." Now this! I have been a loyal apple customer (I have 7 of them at home!) for years and this will piss me off more than anything else they have EVER done. If this is not a hoax. then Mr. Jobs can suck my mouse. (and I will sell my stock too.) Bastards.
the payola hearings of the 60's were a scam

Homogenized Music

· Score: 3, Informative
All that the payola laws and hearings of the 60's did was take the power of music influence from the individual (disc jockey) and put them in the hands of the corporations. The large radio corporations of the day (rko, gannet, etc...) saw that the control of their content was being usurped to the talent of their stations. The DJ was the all important business and creative liaison at the stations. Record labels did anything to get to the talent, including bribes and perks. All the payola hearings and laws did (brought about from the investigation of the Miami DJ convention) was remove the personality from the equations. Enter the more influential role of the program and music director of stations in the late 60's and 70's. The only real exception would be the "progressive" radio essentially invented by Tom Donahue in SF. Payola was seen as a threat to the radio corporations of the day, God forbid that an indiviual (ie: dj) could have that much control over their (the corporations) widget. So a public spectacle was made. And the dj was villified as a wolf, while the real wolfs were in fact the corporations afraid of loosing control of their publicly liscenced product... that was supposed to be in "the public interest."
Today in the corporate mentality of the radio world, the individual, the station DJ or the program/music director has any real say as to the music being played on the station. All edicts are essentially made by the corporate programming heads. Everything from play lists, national contesting and yes... even talent. Most talent is run on an automation system (usually prophet) that essentially has destroyed the job market for radio talent and stifled any creativity and the talent pool, stagnating radio to where it is in the present day. Radio listenership is down in the last few years. There just not much compelling. As my daughter puts it, "radio sucks." Hopefully something will happed to shake it up soon, so some rebel out there can get back to creating something compelling again on the radio dial.
I had just stocked up on about 30 carts for my epson 740 that I bought from a friend (along with a revision a imac) for a hundred bucks. The day the package arrived from "ink cars are us", I had taken the printer down from the shelf and while answering the phone in the next room, my dog pissed on the printer. I took it as a sign from God. I threw out the printer, Gave the carts to the x wife (let her have the karma) and bought an Ethernet laser the next day.
Clones was no Bergman film...but good God, Spiderman was so lame and predictable that I literally laughed thru half of the dialogue. At least SW's didn't have Skywalker reaching for a Dr. Pepper! With all of the hatred of the corporate media here at slashdot, you would think that you could see thru the hype of this kind of Hollywood drivel. Spiderman was just a kiddy ride and a commercial masquerading as a movie.
I spend a lot of time in recording studios. I would estimate over 80 percent of them are using protools with macs for their audio needs. Just an observation.
