I ’ve received a couple of interesting reaction to recent iPodBlog entries and now seems as good a fourth dimension as any to address them ( translation : Please , Apple , for the lovemaking of god , give up something new ! ) .
More on audiobooks
In reply toConvert audiobooks to Audiobooks , Keith Gugliotto indite :
Keith was kind enough to transmit me a license for Audiobook Builder and it ferment as advertised . He ’s proper . It ’s easygoing to practice — far easier than work up audiobooks by handwriting . finger up from me .
On this same audiobooks subject , a referee or two pointed out that , with the help of a couple of utile AppleScripts , you may join disparate tracks and then turn them into an audiobook . Those scripts — Join TogetherandMake Bookmarkable — are from the fertile head of Doug Adams , proprieter ofDoug ’s AppleScripts for iTunes . If you ’re a Mac drug user who ’d wish to range your own audiobooks without a lot of peck , these scripts are another way to go about it .
Vista, Parallels, and audio
Over on the Macworld side of things , a recent article , Hands On : run Vista Home on a Mac , and its observance that playing music via Windows Media Player ( WMP ) on Vista Home Edition run under Parallels Desktop for Mac was awful , prompted a reader who wish to remain anonymous to write :
To which I answer , “ It ’s less awful . ”
On my 2.66GHz Mac Pro , the MWP / Vista / Parallels jazz group - phonograph recording resulted in unlistenable audio — lots of stuttering and slowed tempos . iTunes and QuickTime audio playback , on the other hand , was n’t too spoilt . I still see the occasional stutter , but if the calculator was n’t overtax with other chore ( and something as simple as launch a Windows software numeration as “ overtaxed ” in this regard ) euphony stutter only rarely .
Browse reactions to Vistafrom those who know and , presumptively , like , Microsoft ’s operating system , and you ’ll regain that even those running Vista on living and external respiration PCs find out much about it difficult to swallow . Mac users should therefore not sense single out that parts of it run ill under virtualization .
