One of the best days of my life

Just got home from a twelve-hour day of work, and got on my computer, which just finished a batch conversion of 6,000 files from FLAC to LAME MP3 for use on my iPod, added the files to iTunes, checked for updates, downloaded iTunes 7, and was floored to see that iTunes was (and still is) "determining gapless playback information."
While I've done no testing yet with my new MP3s in iTunes or on my iPod, all I can say is THANK YOU APPLE FOR LISTENING TO YOUR FAITHFUL CUSTOMERS!!!
Whatever the result or the bugs that come up, this is going to be a working solution that so many of us have been waiting on for many years. Of course I'll be busy with testing and contributing whatever information I can on various results of testing different supported file formats for proper gapless playback, etc. and checking to see what others have discovered and reported, but to put it simply, this is in a lot of days one of the happiest days of my life--and most of my days are happy ones!
Cheers to Apple, and to all of you who have used iTunes/iPod over the years and submitted your feedback to Apple about the issue of gapless playback with their hardware and software.

Ah, but since you took the time to read and post, I think you must be giving iTunes a chance
I also keep my entire music collection in FLAC format and don't plan to change that, but for most listening purposes (PC, Mac, iPod) my LAME MP3s sound just fine. They encode at about 16x real time on my PC with foobar2000 + LAME 3.97b3, and I apply RG adjustments at the same go.
Definitely nothing to complain about here!

  • I had a girlfriend buy me an ipod for my mom's music at her Celebration of Life and someone took it.  Is there a way to track it down?  She did register it.  I can't believe someone did this to me on one of the worst days of my life.

    Unfortunately, unless you set up an iCloud account on the iPod and turned on Find My iPod before it was stolen, no.  Even if you did do that, there are many ways it could fail (for example, the thief could wipe it clean or not try to connect to a network or the network's location might not be known).  But, you could try it by logging in to iCloud and using the Find My iPhone applet.

  • I,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

    i,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

    I really like the Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset.  I have tried a lot of the ones on the market and the Plantronics one that I now use has - a long battery life, excellent sound quality and very low background noise. I occasionally use it when in a vehicle (although I do try to avoid doing this) and people on the other end of the line don't even realise that I am in a car.

  • According Too  C.R. The Maxx on Verizon Was Rated one of the Best.!

    I just received my Aug. Consumer Reports and according to there Test the Maxx was Rated as one of the Best To see there Report Look in the Mail if you get the Magazine or have a Look on there Web Site..

    I try to convince alot of people to buy the RAZR MAXX just because of the battery life and the amazing 4g speed it has. 299$ is alot to pay for a phone yes, but you're buying the phone for two years, which means you don't need to buy another phone for another 2 years, that's  12$ a month, plus service on it of course. I do agree though, best phone on market We can't even Manager approve those phones still they're still hot!

  • Which one is the best practice!!

    hi all,
    i have one doubt with the lov
    can we show the data in the LOV by decode function or its better to write two LOV's based on the condition.
    which one is the best practice.
    right now i am using decode function. according to the condition the data will come in the LOV.
    Thanks..

    can we show the data in the LOV by decode functionAs you already do, you can.
    its better to write two LOV's based on the condition.It depends. If its a complex lov and only one column varies based onsome condition, it might less work to use just one lov. Personally, i prefer two different lov's

  • Which one is the best way in migration from sap bpc ms 5.1 to nw7.5

    Hi,
    I am doing Migration project from SAP BPC MS to NW.
    In this which one is the best way migrating By manually or By using SAP Migration tool.
    What are the merits and demarits migrating by manually.
    The data is moving from MS to NW as it is by using sap migration tool.
    Could you please answer my questions as early as possible.

    Hi,
    You would need manual effort anyways. Some of the objects are not either migrated or you need to update manually after the migration. Example, reports have to be modifed and as they may not work due to some of the options.
    Also your packages, script logic etc have to recreated. So its upto you as the migration toosl takes across your appset, applications, dimensions and the master data etc. The manual involvement is inevitable. You need to probably take what the tool allows you to do and make manual corrections for the objects that are not supported.
    Thanks,

  • Which one is the best way to collect config and performance details in azure

    Hi,
    There are four main tasks to use Azure Diagnostics:
    Setup WAD
    Configuring data collection
    Instrumenting your code
    Viewing data
    The original Azure SDK 1.0 included functionality to collect diagnostics and store them in Azure storage collectively known as Azure Diagnostics (WAD). This software, built upon the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) framework, fulfills two design requirements
    introduced by Azure scale-out architecture:
    Save diagnostic data that would be lost during a reimaging of the instance..
    Provide a central repository for diagnostics from multiple instances.
    After including Azure Diagnostics in the role (ServiceConfiguration.cscfg and ServiceDefinition.csdef), WAD collects diagnostic data from all the instances of that particular role. The diagnostic data can be used for debugging and troubleshooting, measuring
    performance, monitoring resource usage, traffic analysis and capacity planning, and auditing. Transfers to Azure storage account for persistence can either be scheduled or on-demand.
    To know more about Azure Diagnostics, please refer to the below article ( Section : Designing More Supportable Azure Services > Azure Diagnostics )

  • BCS Data Model (which one is the best)

    Hi,
    We are implementing SEM-BCS 6.0 with SAP BI 7.0.
    We have 2 possibilities for a data model and we need help to decide which one is the best.
    The first possibility is:
    1)       SAP ECC 6.0:
    a.      Define 2 (two) charts of accounts (company chart of accounts and consolidation chart of accounts) that are mapped/linked in transaction FSP0;
    b.      Define Balance and an Income Statement hierarchy for the group/consolidation chart of accounts;
    2)       BW (BI 7.0)
    a.      In BW we also have both charts of accounts, with a Balance and an Income Statement hierarchy for the group/consolidation chart of accounts. These ones were replicated from source system SAP ECC;
    3)       SEM-BCS 6.0
    a.      IN BCS we update the Financial Statement Item automatically based on/equal to consolidation chart of accounts (and not based on Balance and Income statement);
    b.      For reporting issues, we will define BW workbooks,  based on the Group Balance and Income statement,  for Consolidation reporting. In resume, we will have the Balance and an Income Statement hierarchy for the group/consolidation chart of accounts, created in SAP ECC, replicated in BW in order to report consolidated data.
    The second possibility:
    1)       SAP ECC 6.0:
    In R3 we only have the company chart of accounts. For consolidation purposes  we will define a Balance and an Income statement item hierarchies, one for legal report and the second one for management report, which the superior nodes (items) are the aggregation of G/L Accounts (below nodes).
    2)       BW (BI 7.0)
    In BW we will replicate the Balance and Income Statement that was created in SAP ECC.
    3)       SEM-BCS 6.0
    In BCS we would have to:
                                                      i.      Create automatically the Financial Statement Item, based on the items of Balance and an Income Statement hierarchies, which would be a concatenate of the two item hierarchies.
                                                     Or
                                                        ii.      Create 2 Financial Statement Items, where which one would depend on the balance or the income statement hierarchy.
    Which of the possibilities is the best?
    Having 2 charts of accounts (company and consolidation) or just have one chart of accounts (company) and have a balance item hierarchy consolidated and create the financial statement item in BCS having this hierarchy in account and not a consolidation chart of accounts?
    In our opinion the first scenario is the best one, because is seem to be more flexible and as we have the intention to use SEM BPS in the next year, for budget purpose. Furthermore, we think that with the first scenario we can have a FS Chart of accounts (in BCS) that is not dependent of reporting purposes (based on Balance and Income statements). 
    Is this interpretation correct?
    Thanks

    Hi Ricardo,
    Yes, The first one is the best choice and it is the way to work.
    SAP has given some How-to documents, which are available in service market place. These documents also suggest almost same path as first choice.
    Thanks

  • I'm hoping to buy a ipad air or ipad mini 2 to read PDFs, which one is the best....???? (need a help)

    I agree with Ralph. It all depends on what you're comfortable reading on.
    Most retailers have demo devices, go to a store and play with them and see which one works best for you

    (need a help)
    I'm a university student .

    They can both read PDFs. It will really boil down to what screen size you prefer and how portable you want it. The iPad Air has a larger screen, but weighs more than the iPad Mini2. Either one will work for you, its just a matter of preference.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why are there 2 'after effects', 14 and regular and which one is the best use? It seems a little crazy to use twice the storeage for the same program?

    I up graded adobe cc last night and the cc app down loaded up-grades to my original cc apps, plus another app of each labeled 14. Why do we need two copies of the same app on our machines, and which one is the best to use. I hope adobe in not going down the same road as apple and screwing up the works. i still remember way back when adobe goofed it so bad I switched to final cut. Now apple has screwed up final cut and I am back to Premiere. I know we have huge drives now, but come on, why two bit eating monsters that do the same thing. Stan / Desert Wind Productions.

    The "2014" versions are new versions of the software. It's like the difference between CS5 and CS6. The new one is (most of the time) significantly better. This isn't any weird screwup, it's just a new version.
    You may want to keep the old version around for compatibility, client needs, safety, etc. However, it probably behooves you to use the current version for all of its new features, etc.

  • Which one is the best approach for responsive UI development option in SharePoint 2013

    Which one is the best approach for responsive UI development option in SharePoint 2013
    Device channel or responsive UI (HTML, CSS)?

    In practice you're probably going to end up with a combination. A couple of device channels for classes of device and then responsive UI within those channels to adjust to particular devices within the classes.
    Of course the real answer is as always 'it depends' as you'll need to pick the best option for each client based on their needs.
