Dream… Orange? Mango? Passionfruit? Lemon?

Oh, if only more of you used Macs :)

Well, it really doesn’t matter, of course. However, there’s a neat app called Tangerine that tickles my music-lovin’ soul. It scans iTunes for songs with similar beat patterns and groups them into playlists so that you get automagical mood-based playlists.

It’s tough to say how much mileage I’ll get out of this; I have an extensive and complex set of automatic playlists that may or may not be eclipsed by this. Still, it’s got promise.

And, they claim they’ll give me a free license for shilling for them. How can that possibly be bad? :)

    Macs are like heaven to me.

    I love my mac pro. it is essential for what i do, artwise.

    Do you use Linux at all?

    I actually come to the mac platform by way of Linux—I’m a unix geek at heart, these days, and a GUI nerd. Between those two, my arrival at OSX was inevitable.

    Did you hear the one about the video iPods that spews a virus onto ones computer? Check it out if you haven’t on Apple Defects. It’s like Apple is performing genocide on PCs. One PC at a time and Apple will rule the world ala Tears for Fears…

    Yeah, I saw that. The response is funny, but it’s just a QC issue—not a Windows problem, not a global Apple problem, just an outsourcing problem.

    Fortunately, the number of windows machines in my house == 0.
