iPod Photo running arcade games?

Jun 1, 2005 Apple, MP3 Players, Software

A new version of system software for Apple’s iPod Photo line of digital music players will add a slew of new image transitions in addition to a popular arcade game.

iPod Photo running Tetris

The rumors said that Apple will deliver a new system software of its iPod Photo, named “iPod Photo Software 1.2“, to be available for download sometime this month.

The update will pack a color version of the classic arcade game: Tetris. Users will be able to use the iPod photo’s click-wheel to move the tetris blocks horizontally while the iPod click-button performs block rotation.

Your next media application – musikCube

May 29, 2005 Software

musikCube is much more than an “mp3 player,” it is a music “library.” musikCube currently supports mp3, ogg, flac, and cd audio file formats. It also features an integrated cd ripper helping you take control of your music from the start.

musikCube supports windows 2000, XP, 2003 Server only. Support for Windows 95, 98, or ME are not available. Its features includes:

  • very low memory footprint
  • clean and intuitive user interface
  • blazing fast navigation
  • fully drag and drop compatible
  • powerful batch tagging
  • an integrated cross fader
  • an integrated cd ripper

I’d just downloaded this small application. It’s really impresses me! It only consume very low memory resources, about 7580k when running in full and 2560k when minimize to system tray. A very good replacement for Windows Media Player and Winamp. The interface is better the foobar 2000. It is recommended to install the WMA and AAC plugins.

iPod Plug-In Sets Music Free

May 25, 2005 Apple, Digital Music, Software

The plug-in, called ml_iPod, allows iPod users to bypass iTunes and manage music collections in Winamp instead. The iPod is supposed to work with iTunes only. A new version of the software was released Monday.

Justin Frankel, creator of Winamp and the open-source peer-to-peer software Gnutella, initially developed ml_iPod, but programming was taken over by Will Fisher, a computer science student in the U.K.

Fisher and other developers programmed a slew of features, including the ability to synch multiple iPods with Winamp, create smart playlists and — the most useful option — the ability to copy songs from an iPod onto a hard drive.
