Applescript to automate process of recording Real Player .ram to .mp3 on Mac OS X and putting into iTunes (for Christian Science Bible Lesson podcast)



You may recall that I had shared instructions before about how to record the weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson using Real Player, Audio Recorder and Soundflower. Well, after one more time of forgetting to hit the Audio Recorder Stop button after the Real Player was finished streaming the file, ending up with a 37 minute long recording, comprising approximately 9 minutes of silence at the end, ...

Rio R.I.P.



Rio's parent company plans to close down the MP3 player outfit by the end of next month, an unfortunate turn of events. No doubt someone, somewhere will write a news story about the iPod effect, that the music player's overwhelming success has started squeezing some MP3 manufacturers out of the market. Such an approach would be an oversimplification of the situation. Recall that Rio has changed o ... (more)

Music Industry Aims At Foot -- Again



It’s amazing that an industry this large and this profitable can be this dumb. But then I think back to the Napster days and realize that not only should I not be amazed, I should have expected them to try and screw up the huge success of iTunes.

It was sort of amusing, but not as amusing as the following patent announcement. The title of the newswire article kinda says it all: "Zen Patent' Granted for Invention of its User Interface ...
