one thing i have always been curious about this software update thingy.

there are times when you can resume the download if you do get disconnected or shut down etc, however there also times that which you just have to start all over again.

To my iPhone? Yes, manual. But there aren't any option to manually manage music in iTunes for your whole library, is there?

FYI, I don't have an iPod Touch. My next iPod would probably be the orange 16GB Nano. RM799!

Hmm maybe i need to load more songs into my itunes library and try genius again. But nt now...tgh watching Amazing Race Asia!

I like the yellow nano..hmmm green and purple also nice woh

@ neekun


you SOB! =P

my parents are currently hogging the tv now. so i will probably watch the repeat after midnight later.

so any hot gals with tight a$$es this round?

Got, the Thai Beauty Queens..one of them mascara all melt when washing buses and hujan somemore muahahahaha!

I think your songs needs to be properly tagged to be recognized by Genius for it to makes you a proper recommendation. Did your Genius bar on the right recommend any songs for purchase when you pick any particular song in your library?

Also, logically, Genius won't be able to make any recommendation if your songs are in a language or region not supported. For example, Chinese songs. It may collect info on songs it does not have in that Genius cloud in the air, but any recommedations in that song would only properly work once more users starts submitting their database and playlist info into the cloud. Genius will only get smarter from here.

kalau macam tu, lagu lagu melayu susah sikit la? sebab x banyak orang dengar lagu lagu melayu di seluruh dunia lagi, apa tah lagi itunes?

All my 41 songs are english songs and properly tagged. But maybe the genre is not correct cause i tend to use POP for most of my eng songs even it is ALTERNATIVE.

Or Indian, etc. The Genius engine works well only once people starts contributing their iTunes data.

Get everyone in Malaysia to contribute their playlist with "Rasa Sayang" or "Negaraku", and the next guy who have these songs on his library, gets his proper Genius recommendation he needs.

I foresee this a good way for Apple to use it as a tool to weed out albums leaked out the illegal way ie; torrents etc. Whether they want to use it that way remains to be seen.

Added on September 11, 2008, 10:17 pmCome to think of it, if not properly tagged, even Genius could not help you. Tried it with one of my more problematic mp3s ( the tagged metadata is screwed up) and that gives zero Genius recommendations.

Try clicking "Update Genius" on the Store tab, that may refresh Genius and return a more positive result.

string, wat u mean by cant manage manually ur songs to the iphone?

Eh? I didnt say that. I was talking about the whole library on iTunes. It is managed automagically.

Anyway, even when we cheered Apple for including HD downloads via iTunes now, the reality is, it is not "really HD" in the truest form.

From the article, both resolution and bitrate goes hand in hand to create the HD experience. In Apple's HD case, yes you may have the resolution (1280 x 720) but the bitrate is shamefully lacking. In the end, when you look and play your HD contents up a big screen HDTV, it looks nothing more than "just like an upscaled DVD movie" would look like. I've tried this with Battlestar Galactica episode that is downloadable for free promotion now, and the difference between that, and a proper Blu-ray presentation is painfully apparent. Looks like HD downloads have a long way to go before even trying to compare with Blu-ray.

lol..799
it wud be lower la bro...

OT:
How low? Your price low, or MRSP is actually lower than RM799?

@ harmeet15


ahem ahem. i know that we have not yet meet, but discount for me yeah? ha ha

I'm afraid I'm not the waiting type. If the thread posted on Apple Byte is true, and it is going to be available tomorrow, I'm gonna have to get it ASAP, high price and all. Orange!

OT: Need to get one for the mrs but with engraving for her convo. It can only be obtain from US Stores only right?

RTAOT: Dont know about Malaysia since we dont have an online Apple Store, but Apple Singapore does.

RTAOT =Response To An OT

not necessarily. any apple store which has an alternative online store with full purchasing features. hence malaysian one tak boleh pakai. that one tipu punyer.
