Lala was a tiny service. If Apple were to roll it out, it would be a massive server crushing service simply due to it being built into iTunes. Odds are, anything done with Lala publicly will happen after Apple finishes their datacenter in North Carolina.

Umm, my employer? You have to fill out a request for it to be installed. But as long as you require it for your duties then they'll install it.

In the media industry, it's used quite a bit by producers, production assistants, etc. to review audio clips that have been recorded somewhere else. It's also used to ingest audio delivered on CD to distribute to other people (who don't necessarily need pristine WAV files).

My 16GB touch (2nd gen) has been busting out at the seams for a while. So I've been wanting to buy a 64GB Touch for a while now.

My 4th gen Touch arrived today.

In spite of the down grades compared to the 4G iPhone, it's still quite a step up from the 2G Touch.

I set it up as a new ipod in itunes and it synced everything just fine. That is to say all apps, music and drek is now on the new Touch. Settings did not transfer.

The case has no recurve around the top edge, this takes the buttons away from the beltline. Pressing the volume buttons is quite a bit more difficult.

The display is, hands down, better than the 2G's. Not just the image quality, but finger prints don't create diffractions as they do on the 2G.

That's good to hear, because by all accounts, including Apple's own specs pages, the display is not the same as used on the iPhone 4. same resolution, but not the same package (panel and glass). Supposedly no IPS and no oleophobic coating on the glass. For that matter I don't even know if the iPod has the gorilla glass used on the iPhone.

iTunes 9 added that feature when it came out last year.

OS X:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Automatically Add to iTunes/

Windows:
C:\Users\<user>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes\

Sorry, I meant importing newly added tracks from user music base when it is not located where Apple wants it to be smile
In other words, my music collection is in K:\MEDIA\AUDIO. I would like that directory and subdirectories to be monitored for changes.

Is K:\MEDIA\AUDIO an iTunes managed folder, or just your own setup with MP3s and such?

If it's not iTunes managed and if you normally have "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" turned off, I'm not sure what the Automatically add to iTunes folder will do. It's possible that a combination of NTFS symbolic links might do what you want.

It is my setup with MP3 and such, organized per author/album/CD etc.

Yes, symbolic links is actually a good idea id ITunes10 does not yet offer the feature. I am not usre what will happen, though, and I am a bit afraid that iTunes may mess up my setup...

Ok, who DOESN'T think that Apple would clean the clocks of Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft if it opened an App store for the AppleTV? Personally, I think Apple's unit sales would shame the other three very very quickly, making Apple the de-facto #1 console shipper in the world.

The system is most definitely not optimized for state-of-the-art gaming, but then again neither is Nintendo's system - and at least ATV can output 720p. At a price of $99 plus a few bucks for a controller, it might be too sweet a proposition to pass up for a lot of folks. Just get the landscape wet with the current hardware then introduce a more capable platform next year. Plenty of software is already available. They'd clean house.
