'Lineage'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I think you can just tell iTunes that an mp3 is an audiobook. (He says, without checking iTunes first.)
OK, I think that what you do is go to "Get Info" and change the Genre to AudioBooks. You also might want to check "Remember playback position" under Options.
What tommy said has worked for me. I've never had to convert anything again, but I use iTunes to listen to it in.
Jessica ... what Jon said ... or, if you're feeling really adventurous, another solution I found is to edit the comments database using PHPMyAdmin.
From Wired.com:
Toshiba put HD-DVD out of its misery today. Reuters confirmed this afternoon that it will cease manufacturing HD-DVD equipment, following earlier reports from Japan's NHK public broadcasting network.
So I guess this means Blu-Ray wins?
until the next medium comes along.
Just yesterday, I heard two news reports about how Blu-Ray seemed to be winning but nothing was decided yet. Stuff moves fast in this world.
Aw, HD-DVD, we hardly knew ye!
Is this Sony's first format-war win?
Sony partnered with Philips to create the CD format, which was a win.
But Sony blew it with Beta, DAT, Mini-Disc, SACD and UMD.
Before the DVD was released, Sony and Philips were ready to go to war with a Toshiba alliance over the format, but a compromise was brokered. The result was the most successful consumer electronics introduction ever. You would think that they would have learned their lesson.
Just yesterday, I heard two news reports about how Blu-Ray seemed to be winning but nothing was decided yet.
Nah, it was pretty much decided a few weeks ago when a major studio decided to drop HD-DVD.
You would think that they would have learned their lesson.
But that would require them to play nice.
Yeah, yesterday's news reports were of the "they've announced that they're going to make an announcement soon" flavor, but the studio news a few months back had since been followed up by news that Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Netflix would all be switching their new purchases to Blu-ray only. Lots of writing on the wall for the dork obsessives who watch such.
We have Blu-ray, but only because it's what's in the PS3 -- we certainly weren't going to buy either format for its own sake until after the format war worked itself out, but they're mighty nice to watch when they turn up in the Netflix.
