iTunes Registry



I uploaded my music XML file to itunesregistry.com and here's what it said about my library:


You don't have enough song ratings to be very good at this, but I'll try. I can't determine your favorite genre, but your favorite artist is The Beloved which is weird since you've spent more time listening to Fleetwood Mac , but then you have more of that artist than anything else (in this genre).

Then I uploaded my XML data again after rating about 100 more songs and got this:


You appear to like Rock the most, with Sheryl Crow your favorite, which is weird since you've spent more time listening to Fleetwood Mac , but then you have more of that artist than anything else (in this genre). Moby is your favorite overall artist.

Digital Remastering Plug-In



From MacCentral:

http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/2003/10/13/octiv/index.php?redirect=1066065832000


"Any audio playing in iTunes -- including MP3s, AACs, Internet radio and CDs -- will be digitally remastered for consistent volume level and spectral balance, according to Octiv. Low levels are "intelligently" raised and loud signals are kept under control. The Volume Logic plug-in incorporates a five-band dynamics processor that examines and adjusts the audio; files aren't scanned or modified. Octiv was able to make their audio processing technology compatible with iTunes by working with Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack technology, which enables the recording of audio from any application. Volume Logic is available as a free download through a public beta program that runs until Dec. 31."

Here's the link to download: http://www.octiv.com/index.asp?content=iTunes

I tried the plug-in with TUSK and THE WILD HEART because those CDs do not have the best mastering. It was pretty darn amazing.

Smart Playlists



I've made 6 Smart Playlists to create 6 CDs for the new Trailblazer (it has a changer in it and no way to wire in the iPod..) One playlist gathers new adds to the library, another randomly selects from my top plays, It's pretty darn cool.

I burn a CD when the playlists change or if I tweak the criteria.
