Yes - I saw the details of the press release.  With all the Apps and its price, including use as a remote, it is hard not to call it that.  It's like a nice well priced remote that does other functions.

I must be a stray out of the herd, If it has the word Apple on it I run the other way.

James will it be released in Asia at the same time?

Nope. We've seen the light so we'll wait for the tube based one.

Hi AGP,

Yes we will try and release a few in each market when a new product is introduced.  Based on the response by the Distributors and Dealers to my announcement it looks like we will be backordered from the get-go. :thumb:

Shouldnt the remote be included? Am I going to be able to read that text from 10' away? This is obviously not something that can sit in your lap... Also can you give a running example of the interface, search mechanisms, organization that will be used. And how can you see all that on the tiny screen?

Read what Elias Gwinn from Benchmark Media Systems has to say about the OSX sound subsystem:

http://www.stereophile.com/budgetcomponents/108bench/index5.html

The iPod is broken too, it took me little time to figure it out. No measurements needed.

If you read the very article you quoted, he goes on to say that Benchmark didn't fully understand the relationship between iTunes and OSX Core Audio, and that iTunes needed to be restarted when the sampling rate was changed in AudioMidi Setup.
 
In any case, most Apple users who are looking for the very best possible playback will use a playback engine such as Amarra, using iTunes only for it's superior file organization and transport playback features.

Quote:

"OSX still does not have the ability to follow sample-rate changes. We consider this a nuisance for most users and a show-stopper for users who want to play a mixed list of 44.1kHz and 96kHz material. An OSX sample-rate mismatch will invoke the very-poor-quality sample-rate conversion that is built into OSX. [...] Until this is fixed, OSX is not the operating system of choice for audio playback."

Wake me up when they fix it. (hint: the iPod issue is 7 years old and Apple has no known intention to fix it).

Um, the quote references version 7.5 but iTunes is now up to version 9.1.1. Is this still an issue?

The quote is about the core audio subsystem..... which won't change anytime soon.

But here's what happens with current versions of everything:

Please understand the 2 line display is NOT meant to replace a normal network setup. It is just there to assist in simple less complicated file management and to allow quick setup and use without the need for a network connection.

I currently use 3 remotes to interface - an Itouch, A web-browzer on my desktop computer and my Mac laptop.

All, James;

The use of digital media appears pretty complicated to me. 

Would 'someone' outline some specific examples of how to get going in this arena.

For example, "Windows users should....."; "Mac users should....."; Linus users should...."

Which software and file storage options work best?

How to integrate hardware?

How to manage our MP3, CD's, DVD-A, etc on our computers?

This is very confusing to me.

Thanks, JohnnyB

Hi JohnnyB,

Here is the easiest setup I have seen so far - this is the Male version only :icon_lol:
