iTunes 7 with Browse Album Covers

ItunesBrowse

iTunes 7 Browse Album Covers functionality is really pretty cool you can even put it on full screen mode to browse you're albums. This is the same interface that has been made available on the iPhone and would look pretty cool on the iPod if its gets released for it.

If you have problems getting the Browse Albums functionality working make sure you have hardware acceleration turned on on your graphics card. Take a look at Mark Moshers blog on how to enable acceleration on your graphics card for iTunes 7

Getting digital music into the living room

Logitec Wireless Music SystemThis little device only cost me £32 off Amazon market place and has moved my digital music from the domain of my laptop with headphones and iPod to my living room.

Finally I can play music off my server upstairs (geeks have many of these at home) and have it beamed down wirelessly to my surround sound system downstairs for everyone to listen to. Now not everyone thinks sharing my music collection with the rest of the house is a great idea but thats for another blog posting. 

The device in question is a Logitech Wireless Music System. One end of this device(the transmitter) is attached to the source of the sound (such as your computer) the other is (shown in the picture) is plugged into your sound system be it a stero, surround sound system or simple speakers. The transmitter is so small and compact it can even be plugged directly into your iPod. In a future blog post I will show you how to remotely control iTunes from a website created in ASP.NET 2.0.
