Why is top 100 podcasts gone?

Any idea why Apple eliminated the "Top 100 podcasts" button beneath the top podcast lists on the music store (for both the general list and particularly the categories)? Ditching this feature seems like a loser for both the user and the podcast provider. I certainly know that it was useful for me to see how our show, which was not on the top 25 but usually within 10 or so of it, was doing. It also means our show will be that much harder for users to find.
The button was pretty small in terms of screen space, and I can't see what is gained by eliminating it. If anyone from Apple is listening, it would be good to put it back to give users one more tool for finding podcasts they might be interested in, and providers one more tool for tracking their shows' popularity.

    I am glad there was a copy paste added but it would have been nice to use your own ringtones and I don't understand why they could not use gps for the direction of the phone too.
    I am sure if they can pinpoint you on the map they could tell what direction your holding the phone on the 3g.
    The cam is very poor on the 3g phone it,s more like an afterthought.
    I don't understand why apple did not have the function of moving your photos and ringtones with drag and drop onto itunes rather than sync to a folder.
    yes there are apps you can buy but even a £20 phone lets you do all of above without added cost to the user.
    and where is the software reset for clearing the memory or is that an afterthought too.
    PS not picking holes it's a fact.
    The HTC phone is a nice phone mate has one.

  • Sorting by Characteristic Result Rows using Condition Top 100%

    I need to sort characteristic by results and use <<Top 100%>> condition to do it.
    I got three characteristics in my query:
    1. Organization

    3. Planning Level

    I need to know best palnning organisations by sorting them on deviation results on Organisation Level.
    Also I need Date  and planning Level characteristics involved in query, because they taken in  Deviation formula.
    Then I use condition (Top 100%) by Organization, the query doesn't sort Organisations by Deviation properly Any ideas why? I tried to add one extra characteristic in query on top of Organisation and use it in condition but it doesn't work either.

  • Why Using Top Link is best in DB Adapter?

    Hi All,
    Can any one suggest , Why Using Top Link (Build-in Insert, Select etc. operation) is best in DB Adapter over using custom query?
    Thanks

    Hi Vikky,
    for insert/select it depends on what kind of user you are. TopLink lets you browse and click on a tables and have everything generated for you. If you are more a DBA or show me the SQL type then you can just type SQL directly.
    Some advantages of TopLink would be:
    -The range of SQL generated by TopLink is limited, but if you hard code complex SQL into your service you need to maintain it.
    -TopLink can generate at runtime the correct SQL for a given database, making switching from say DB2 to Oracle easy.
    -The merge operation will compare the input XML to the columns on the database and update only what has changed. It can also do a sparse merge. If only 4 columns in the XML were set, only those 4 columns in the database will be updated.
    -For inbound polling the strategy used (LogicalDelete, Sequencing Table, etc) is a configuration property and then at runtime multiple SQL statements are generated. The SQL also takes advantage of advanced syntax like the Oracle-only FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, writing it all yourself may be tedious and error prone.
    -The main benefit of TopLink is when you go beyond thinking about a single table. If you import multiple related tables at once, TopLink will generate the SQL to select from and maintain multiple tables, establish a commit order, and generate a hierarchical XSD. With custom SQL the matching XSD is always flat. I.e. if you just need to insert an emp you could get away with custom SQL. If you need to insert a dept and emps, I would use TopLink.
    -This is also when the intermediary abstraction of an object/table makes more sense, as you only need to import a complex relational schema once, then generate inserts, selects, etc.
    So I hope that helps. They are each equally viable and can do something that the other can't. Where you see an overlap I would go with personal preference.
    Thanks
    Steve

  • Why are some 100% Accurate Rips not matched by iTunes Match?

    Why are some 100% Accurate Rips not matched by iTunes Match?
    Is there an Apple Support employee that can address this question?
    The phenomenom occurs for over 500 of my tracks spread out among 100+ albums.
    Certain tracks simply do not match to the iTunes library, despite being 100% Accurate bit-for-bit Rips. For reference, I use dBpoweramp for ripping, which checks CRC.
    As an example, take Aerosmith's "Get a Grip" album; Tracks 2 and 5 will not Match to iTunes, despite perfect integrity in the ripping process.
    Upon looking further into those particular tracks, I notice a discrepency between the "track length" reported on the iTunes store page, and my accurate rips for those tracks [track 2 & 5 on iTunes: 4:09 & 6:19, respectively; track 2 & 5 direct accurate rip from physical CD: 4:10 & 6:07, respectively].
    So clearly, with track 5, there is a major discrepency, 12 seconds difference, which leads me to think the iTunes release of this album and retail release of the CD I physically own are quite different.
    Well there, I guess I've solved the "reason" for the undesired functionality, but it certainly doesn't solve the issue at hand.
    A major aspect of the iTunes Match product is To Match, so that, in part, bit-rate upgrades can take place, and also to provide management and format uniformity.  I do realize that there is no guarantee iTunes has every album one could own, and entirely un-matched, and thereby Uploaded, Albums are a significant upside feature of iTunes Match; however, 1+ tracks on each of a significant quantity of albums, which iTunes carries, not matching to iTunes creates heterogeneous-format albums, and significantly more library management.
    If there is a workaround for this issue it would significantly improve the user experience for iTunes Match.  A user shouldn't have many hetereogeneous-format albums when iTunes carries/sells those albums, and the user has perfect quality rips from their physical CD.

  • What is meaning of  top % 100 values in condition

    hi ,
    i have exact meaning of   top %  100 values in conditions.
    here when ever i ran report it will come out put different values.
    the output comes interms of 6000 records.
    Regards,
    Murali

    Murali what Bhanu mentioned will work as thus...
    Assume that you get 3 records......
    Vendor| Sales
    V1 | 100
    V2|200
    V3|300
    Assume that you have got the query output as above where it sorts on the order of Vendor - but then if you want the same to sort on a KEYFIGURE - Sales - then if you apply this condition you would get
    V3|300
    V2|200
    V1|100

  • Profit and loss of the sales of my top 100 customers

    Hi,
    I would like to have a query in SAP BW which delivers me the following information:
    the profit and loss of the sales of my top 100 customers (customers with the highest sales per month). So basically I would like to compare the sales from these customers of the current month to the previous month.
    Thank you for any help!

    hi,
    u can compare values by creating restricted 2 RKFs.
    RKF1  : selling price is restricted by 0CALMONTH.create a variable on 0CALMONTH(single value,mandatory,ready for input...etc).
    right click on structure--->new selection...drag and drop selling value and 0CALMONTH.
    RKF2 :selling price is restricted by 0CALMONTH.use the same variable which u created and set Offset value '-1'.
    so it will give u sales price for previous month(if u ente current month in selection screen)...
    take customer in rows and these RKFs in columns(in  structure).
    later use condition to display top 100 customers..
    hope this helps..
    pl dont foget to assign points to helpful answers....thats the way to say thanks here.
    regards

  • Downloaded the app Top 100 Hits. Set the auto lock to never.  Sound stops in 30 seconds, what can I do to correct this?

    Downloaded the app Top 100 Hits.  Set the auto lock to "never".  Sounds stops in 30 seconds.  What can I do to correct this.  MaNUAL DOESN'T EXPLAIN.

    I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
    You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
    I would like to add:
    you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
    Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
    It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
    The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
    You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

  • Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility???

    Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility? How do I partition a disk?

    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc One if you are trying to partition your startup drive and after the installer loads select your language then click on the Continue button. After the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    If you are trying to partition an external drive or a non-startup drive then simply open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

    To see the Billboard Hot 100 for each year, you'll need to turn on the browse feature on the iTunes Store. Then, select "Charts", "Billboard Hot 100", and then the year you want to see. Right now it looks like they only have up to 2004.
