10/16   When you buy a song from iTune, what format, and bit rate are
        the delivered version?? thx.
        \_ http://www.apple.com/itunes/overview.html
           About the middle of the page, under "AAC: MPEG-4 audio"
           \_ i've read it, it says nothing about the technical aspect,
              what bitrate? are there different versions of the song? one
              with higher bitrate?
              \_ the implication from the page is 128 kbps.
        \_ on a related topic: are there any iTunes-wanna-bes that are
           selling songs in some DRM-less format?
           \_ http://eMusic.com (MP3 format), monthly fee (not per song).

8/19    Anyone have a good MLC vs. SLC writeup that is less than a year
        old? I am investigating making a big SSD order. -ausman
        \_ how much performance gain are you expecting from using SSD?
           Let's say your 7200RPM yields 70 MB/sec (sustained) read and
           your new SSD yields 160 MB/sec read, and that your application
           is mostly streaming media (so the platter is continuous read,

2/25    iTunes has two job openings for production support engineers. It's
        mostly chasing production issues so that the engineers don't have to.
        Lots of SQL, some scripting, no actual coding. Pager required. Sorry
        if I'm not selling it. Check the website or email me if you're
        interested. -abe

4/8     I'm fed up with having up download iTunes every month or so.

When you listen to an audiobook on iPod or your computer, the software creates a virtual bookmark. So the next time you sync your iPod or iPod mini with your computer, iTunes 4 will remember exactly where you left off. New Music Sharing feature iTunes 4 has a Music Sharing feature that uses Rendezvous to give you remote streaming access to your personal music library from any room in your house. Lets say, for instance, that you have thousands of AAC and MP3 music files stored on a Mac or Windows computer in your home office. The iTunes software works so smoothly on both platforms that you can share music with any combination of Macs and Windows PCs on a local area network regardless of whether youre running iTunes off a Mac or PC. AAC: MPEG-4 audio AAC for Advanced Audio Coding, a big part of the MPEG-4 specification is the cutting-edge audio codec thats perfect for the Internet. AAC encoding compresses much more efficiently than older formats like MP3 which iTunes still supports, by the way, while delivering quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio. In fact, some expert listeners have judged AAC audio files compressed at 128 Kbps stereo to be virtually indistinguishable from the original uncompressed audio source.
