Ogg Vorbis support for QT7/iTunes5
Saturday, October 8th, 2005Finally. Get it here. I’m going to believe this when it’s working here.

Apple introduced a full featured mouse, the Mighty Mouse Yes, it even comes with two buttons, sort of. This looks like a really nifty device, Apple just does it again and again. Anyhow, I will NOT fall for it. No way. I’ll wait for the Bluetoothed version, heh. Anyone needs a Logitech MX900 Bluetooth?
Well, besides the alarming affinity that I have developed towards Apple over the last few months, I booked my flight to San Francisco yesterday. So it’s Frankfurt – Atlanta – San Francisco on August, 18th and vice versa on September, 9th. Thinking about it, I might as well visit Cupertino if I’m hanging out in CA anyway. Rrrrrrrrr.
Just found WordPressDash, and you guess right, a Dashboard Widget especially for WordPress. Including category support. Not as comfortable as ecto but still, very usable and very simple. Maybe more suited for blogging quickies..
*update*
Turns out that category support doesn’t seem to work properly.. what’s up with WP and cats?
Seb Ruiz writes about porting amaroK to windows for it seems there has been some nagging on his topic. According to Seb, this is not going to happen anytime soon. Well, Mark answered and enlightened that the amaroK-devs are working to remove all unix-specifc code from amaroK for v2.0 to make it QT(4) dependent only. Which, of course, would enable relatively simple porting to all platforms on which QT is available.. great news for I’m still looking for a decent audio-player for OS X.
Just read on digg that LG readies iPod shuffle clone. And a appealing one. OK, the shuffle still looks better but like I said before, design definitely _is_ Apple’s cup of tea, so no need to argue here, but: ogg-support.. hell, not even QuickTime and therefore iTunes offer support for ogg vorbis encoded files, the QuickTime OGG Component isn’t compatible with QT7 and downgrading to QT6 isn’t possible on Tiger. Nice done.
cryforhelp: ISN’T THERE A FEASIBLE AUDIO PLAYER FOR OS X?!?!
Anyway, I considered getting one of those small mp3-, ermm, ogg-, well, let’s say multi-codec-flash-sticks, for my IHP-120 is a little bit too heavy and bulky for some occasions. Until now, the shuffle was my favorite design-wise, while iRiver’s flash-players have been when it came to functionality.. let’s see when this LG thingy will hit the market and reviews spread the web..

Just downloading the iTunes 4.9 update and what’s new? Podcasting. Great. Ah, to hell with it. I guess I boot into my Linux-installation on my PowerBook and enjoy some hours of extensive amarok usage.
