High Quality music player for OSX Tiger

Hi
I am looking for some help :-
I have recently picked up a second hand imac g5, 1.8ghz, 2gb ram, 160gb hdd, runnning OSX Tiger
I am trying to find a decent music player, capable of playing alac & flac, up to 24/96khz
I have managed to find something called "Play" however, to me, its not that good
My second issue is how do I set the mac to out via USB in the music files native format, I have a variety of files range from flac/alac 16/44.1 up to 24/96
I kind find a setting in midi to change the output, however, that appears to just fix the output rate rather than play the native rate
Hoping someone can help me

I don't know much about those formats, but have you checked Audacity?

Higher quality music

During my most recent iTunes song purchase, I was offered some special format, high-quality download. It's $1.29 instead of $0.99. Does anyone believe the quality is better? About 30% better?
Thanks!
Lindsay

The sound quality will be better with this but this is not the only selling point of the extra $.30 for the higher quailty version. By paying $1.29 you are also getting music that can be played on any music player that can play AAC files. If you own an iPod and never want another music player then pay the thirty cents for the quailty. If you think you may at some point want to switch to another mp3 player, then you have the satisfaction of knowing you have no restrictions from the iTunes plus (higher quality) music, and you can play that music anywhere you wish.
Hope this helped your decision making.

Music player for E6

Please, I am looking for other music player, more like the one in Symbian S60. I have tried TuneWiki but it looks tiny!
I really hate the music player for Anna. Nice looking but clumsy!

Clumsy? The music player according to my experience is everything than clumsy...maybe I missunderstand you here...?
Anyway, try this player,

I think it is also "tiny" but try it anyway..
Sure, Nokia should develop a built-in search function, but I don´t miss it cause I am more of streaming music over 3G (nokia internet radio and mecanto).
I think that the audio quality also is way better than I could dream of (as an old high fidelity fan). I was really surprise over this..

How many hours of high quality music fits on a 16 gigabyte iPod

How many hours of high quality music fits on a 16 gigabyte iPod?

A "16Gb" iPod nano has enough room to store about 14.5Gb of music, assuming this to be the only media stored there. If by "high quality" you mean lossless, using Apple Lossless/ALAC format, that equates to around 30 hours of music (there will be some variations depending on the nature of the music and the degree to which ALAC compresses the audio data). AIFF files are larger, though of the same quality as ALAC - maximum in this case is approx. 20 hours.
For "iTunes Plus" quality (256kbps lossy compression) files will be between one-third and one-quarter the size of the same music in ALAC, so the total time goes up to around 90-120 hours. My 16Gb 7th gen nano is currently full to capacity using a mix of 256kbps AAC and 320kbps MP3 files - iTunes reports the total time as 4.9 days (117 hours).

Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external hard drive while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?

Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?

There is no setting in the iPhone to set another default music player. The default is Music. If you are using another application, you are at the mercy of how that application operates as far as what occurs when it stops or errors out. The car is looking for music to play.

Why did Apple destroy iTunes? Is there another music player for Mac.

I hate the new iTunes. Useless steps for navigation. They took something simple and complicated. Is there another music player for Mac. Unless I get the old iTunes back I'm done! I would use anything but this ridiculous player. How could they do this? Steve Jobs would never have let this happen.
Plus it's slow!!! Diffcult to burn CDs then find them. Yikes!!!!

iTunes works fine for me, and hasn't been "destroyed" by any means. If you can't deal with the new, simpler interface, just go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and "Show Status Bar". iTunes 11 will then look much like the pervious versions did.
Diffcult to burn CDs then find them.
Not sure what you mean here. In what way is it difficult to burn a CD, and what do you mean by "then find them"?
Regards.

What is the best video converter for high quality MPEG-4 for Apple TV?

What is the best video converter for high quality MPEG-4 for Apple TV?

Handbrake won't convert AVI files, But there are many more than those mentioned that will
The choice of conversion software is a personal choice, I have around a dozen applications that will tackle AVI's, however VisualHub is not one of them, not because there is anything wrong with it but rather I have enough such applications in my arsenal already.
I would use mpegstreamclip in most scenarios for what you are wanting to do but maybe not always. It is a good idea to have a few applications to choose from as not all do the same thing. mpegstreamclip has a few more options than some bog standard applications without becoming overburdening with choices.
You might want to try a few applications yourself before deciding on the software for you. isquint is a free limited version of visualhub, you might want to give that a whirl to get a feeling for visualhub.
Be aware though that quality conversions do not happen quickly, claims of being faster than other applications may well be correct, but are usually a trade off against quality. Again you need to choose your software to reflect your preferred balance between speed and quality.
Here's how I use mpegstreamclip, http://web.me.com/gartside1104/z008/Mpegstreamclip.html but your AVI's may well be low quality, you shouldn't set the bitrate any higher than your source file and likely lower, you shouldn't increase the frame size either.

Music Player for kids

I hope this is the right forum for this …
I'm looking for an EASY music player for kids that plays music from your iTunes-library.
Maybe pictures for each song or album.
I know this exists for iPad (Sound Slate), but I'm looking for a MacBook-solution.
Thanks in advance!

Higher quality Music on iPod Touch

I downloaded all my songs under 256 and most have converted to the higher quality 256. How do i convert the songs on my iPod Touch to the higher Quality. i do not use Match on iPod because I don't want to be tethered to wifi in order to listen to random music..Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. It does not make sense to have iMatch when you can't listen to songs without being in proximity to wifi. Playlists work just fine but they don't work with iMatch. It seems like a very poor solution to turn off iMatch to keep songs on a device. Have you figured out a way to deal with this? I'm currently trying to get a refund from Apple for this deceptive product. They do a very poor job of explaining exactly what you are getting. Selling a lot of hype but not a viable solution unless you're permanently in proximity to wifi. How, for example, is someone supposed to listen to music on an airplane?

I need a a music player for my flash site

Hello all,
I have a flash website, multi grooves as well as an rss 2.0
feed with mp3 files.
I want to embed a music player that can display all the music
entries in my rss feed and play them quickly (as opposed to that
quick time window that opens and waits for the whole mp3 file to
download before anything is heard).
I found a flash player that I wanted to use but strangely it
can not be embedded into a flash site!? (code below)
Does something like this exist for flash? If not, what
suggestions could you make?
One feature that I really want is to be able to "detach" the
player from the page in which it appears so the user can go to
other pages in the site (or even to another site) without loosing
the sound and stay in full control of the music playing
The code for the player that I wanted to use:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="220"
height="160" data="
http://bigcontact.com/feed-player/7478_8437/r:1;t:1001">
<param name="quality" value="best" /> <param
name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowScriptAccess"
value="always" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"
/><param name="movie" value="
http://bigcontact.com/feed-player/7478_8437/r:1;t:1001"
/></object>

I've wrote a tutorial a while ago, not exactly with an RSS
feed, but that could be easily converted to an RSS feed reader with
the mp3 capability. Regarding the detachable window, I don't see
any obstructions.

Special thanks to all the developers, package maintainers, trusted users and other archers - every little lib was already available
I know that a few dependencies are already covered by others (as namcap reports them) but I left them all just to be "compatibile" with aqualung required and optional libraries list (check aqualung homepage for more info).
In this version gui skin chooser doesn't work (at least for me) - it can't see other skins. You can change the default skin to other (build and install aqualung-skins first) manually by changing it in the config file in your ~/.aqualung.
For fast start just run aqualung --output alsa (or oss or jack if you prefer). Jack is required always but it doesn't need to run if you are using only alsa/oss. More info on aqualung homepage.
...and for the future releases a cvs version pkgubild (no difference for now - the project is too fresh :-) but you can use it as a template)

Ineed a music player for E51 that remembers the tr...

Hi.
I like my E51 apart from a few things.
One of the worst is that the music player will not remember the track position when you exit like every other MP3 player in the world.
Is there a 3rd party application I can use as a player that will remember the track position or is there a work around for the Nokia Music Player?
I've seen a few symbian music player and the cost is minimal compared to the hassle of having to scan 45 minutes through a mix because the damn phone won't keep the position.
TIA.

I almost bought the E51 but in the end opted for the N78, and had the same problem you have. Music player forgets where it is in long mixes, audio books etc if you turn the phone or player off.
For the nseries the quick work around is to turn the file into a podcast, you do this by selecting the track, click options, song details, then set Library to Podcast.
Don't know if it'll work on the e51 but it is the same symbian version so I think it should.

High Quality Wide Screen for YouTube - PLEASE HELP!

I am using a Panasonic PV-GS400 camera in wide-screen mode (this is another topic, but the camera still outputs 720 x 480 video, my understanding is that it is called "anamorphic wide screen"). I had figured out some settings to get my videos to appear in "High Quality" mode, wide screen (16:9) in YouTube, but the last couple of times I have tried these settings, they didn't work. Here's what I used:
- Windows Media 856 x 480 frame size
- Frame rate 29.97kbps
- Pixel aspect ratio - square (1.0)
- 2 encoding passes
I got the 856 x 480 ratio from another website. I don't really understand why the pixel aspect ratio needs to be square, but when I tried 16:9 aspect ratio, the video is letterboxed. I also don't understand the two different project modes for PE7 (when creating a new project you can choose the format 4:3 or 16:9). Maybe someone can explain how the widescreen project setting works. Perhaps it is something similar to how my camera does widescreen but the videos are still 720 x 480.
At any rate, if someone has settings that will reliably produce wide screen videos that appear in YouTube's "high quality" mode, I'd appreciate it! Thanks.

As we often say on this forum, the biggest challenge with working with YouTube is that, as soon as someone figures it out, YouTube changes the rules again.
Here's what we've posted to the FAQs at the top of this forum.
