iTunes Single Play
Dear WAMUGgers I'm planning to use the PowerBook to run our school's Christmas concert, the theme of which is Rock and Roll. I plan to project a visualiser onto a big background scene while the music is playing and kiddies singing along. Is there a way to set iTunes to only play one track at a time without going on to the next track. I can't seem to find a way. This would prevent the music automatically starting for the next item when it's not needed, if I'm not quick enough to stop playing at the end of each track. I guess I could do this by putting each track into a different Playlist but there must be an esasier way. Also who knows of a good visualiser to use for the rock and roll theme? Regards Reg

Playlists...

Re: iTunes Single Play
Or add blank tracks or sound into each track ... Add 5/10 seconds to the end of each track of no sound or create a track which has no sound and place it between each track to give you a buffer G On 2/12/05 7:26 AM, Reg Whitely [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear WAMUGgers I'm planning to use the PowerBook to run our school's Christmas concert, the theme of which is Rock and Roll.

You could list your tunes in a finder window a play them one at a time or in Toast it allows you to set up to 8 seconds pause between tunes. I'd like to see G-Force (a great visualizer http://www.soundspectrum.com/ ) on a big screen. enjoy Brian
Re: iTunes Single Play
What I would do is make a new playlist and add the songs I wanted to use to it. Then use the small tick boxes next to each song to turn all the songs off. Then, when you want to play each song, just double click it. Songs without the checkbox marked will not be played automatically, but will play when selected.

Re: iTunes Single Play
Hi Reg, I would do as Jude suggest. The ArKaos Visualizer I find great. http://www.arkaos.net/software/vis_description.php The Visualizer, which runs on Macs and PCs, slots transparently into major MP3 players such as Sonique, Winamp™ , Windows Media Player, MusicMatch JukeBox, and RealOne™ on the PC's, SoundJam™, Audion™ and iTunes™ on Mac OS 9.x and iTunes™ on Mac OS X, allowing users to play graphic effect videos with any playable sound file. ArKaos' sophisticated beat-matching technology synchronizes to the percussion and bass-lines of your music and integrates video-effect sequences seamlessly with your tunes. The Visualizer comes with great ArKaos visual files pre-loaded, if you have ArKaos VJ 2.2.1, you can create your own visual animations with your pictures and movies !

Looking for certain WWDC 2003 DVDs
Hi All! Long shot here, but you never know. I have managed to get hold of the box set of DVDs from the 2003 WWDC Conference. Unfortunately it is missing 3 DVDs, which happen to be 6, 7 and 8. They are the Enterprise IT DVDs. Would anyone here happen to have these DVDs? Please email if you do! Seeya Rod!
Blog Page site for Macs
Tsunami's blog page isn't working for some reason (http:// tsunamisushi.blogspot.com/) so I'm looking to change to another service like Blogger. Blogger never supported the Mac Safari very well IMHO. Photos were hard to post (for the novice at least like to me) unless you were running IE on Windows. Can anyone recommend a good service, preferably one that shows a code in a distorted picture like box that you have to type in so we won't get spammed. Free is best but a limited charge service that lets you distribute podcasts would be cool as we are going to do a video podcast early next year. T.I.A.

New EyeTV update that allows two windows to be open
Hi All! http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=support_updates_eyetv The new update incorporates Video iPod exporting, plus the ability to view and record 2 channels at the same time. Which is just the thing you need with the quality tv shows on this summer :-) Well, at least Channel 10 have some cool stuff on. Channel 9 is a disgrace - how did Australia' Funniest Home Videos move into a prime time slot, while ditching West Wing altogether If it wasn't for the cricket, I don't think anyone would watch 9 this summer! rant over Seeya Rod!
Re: New EyeTV update that allows two windows to be open
From: Rod [EMAIL PROTECTED] The new update incorporates Video iPod exporting, plus the ability to view and record 2 channels at the same time. Which is just the thing you need with the quality tv shows on this summer :-) Unfortunately it will only allow you to record multiple channels that reside on the same transponder/multiplex simultaneously. Which means you'd probably only be able to watch the Channel 10 SD, HD and Program Guide channels simultaneously (maybe ABC and ABC 2 if they share the same frequency?). I haven't tried it on my EyeTV 400 yet, but I'm pretty sure that the Channel 9 and Channel 10 don't share the same digital frequency. I'll be trying it tonight to confirm. Anyone else tried it already? To watch two channels on separate frequencies, you'd need 2 separate EyeTV boxes. I've heard of some users who have 4 EyeTV boxes on the one Mac for 4 simultaneous channels. Sounds cool to me. So Daniel, how much are EyeTV 410s or the USB2 DTTs going for now? :-) More Info from http://faq.elgato.com/index.php/faq/more/320 A simple explanation is that digital TV channels are often subdivided into multiple subchannels. That means there could be multiple channels of related content available, instead of just one. For example, a network like NBC could have a channel for regular content, and a separate channel for 24 hour weather. With this new feature, you can watch both the NBC weather channel and NBC regular channel at the same time. A more technical explanation is that a multiplex is a collection of digital TV channels that are broadcast on the same frequency, therefore a device with a single tuner can receive all of them at the same time. A DVB-T or ATSC multiplex usually contains between 3 and 5 standard definition TV channels, or one high definition (HDTV) and one standard definition channel. Cable and Satellite multiplexes/transponders can contain 10 or more channels. In the US, subchannels are often designated by a hyphen (like 11-1 for regular programming, and 11-2 for weather). Look on your channel list, and note these subchannels. You cannot watch content from two different transponders at once (CBS and NBC), unless you had two separate tuners. That would require two separate EyeTV units. Outside of the US, idential frequencies would be the way to determine if channels are on the same multiplex. Look in the title bar of the video window to see the frequency.

iMovie files stuck in trash
Hello Peter Hinchcliff I tried to email you direct but it bounced so I guess I have your email address incorrect. Thank you for your suggestion re clearing my trash. However I tried unlocking those files to no avail. I also tried the command line input rm -R then dragged one of the files into the terminal window and hit RETURN still in trash. Did I miss something out ? Type command into window at end of last line presented. Drag file into window. Hit RETURN key. Should I have also hit RETURN key after typing in command and before dragging file into window ? I don't suppose they are doing any harm there ... it;s just so blasted annoying ! Regards, Stephen Chape
Re: iTunes Single Play
Well I'd hate to tell you all that there is a very, very simple solution. Highlight the song you want and press the loop button next to the Shuffle button in iTunes twice. It turns blue on first click indicating loop all songs, 2nd click means loop individual song (a 1 appears on the loop icon) The song will loop over and over and over until stopped :) Shame you all haven't used it :P Regards Christian On 02/12/2005, at 5:48 PM, Reg Whitely wrote: Hi Wamuggers Thank you all for responding to my query.

Seeya Rod! Umm... It's not the laws per se, it's how much content the stations can afford to provide on their frequencies. If they can barely fill one channel with re-runs they're not going to be able to fill 5. You can't put all the TV stations into one frequency as then there wouldn't be enough bandwidth for all the interactive stuff (multiview etc.) Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer There are many worlds and many Opinions for hire [POQ] tales, but not much time http://public.xdi.org/=Shayfnord - Roland of Gilead

The eyeTV410 is going to be a bit hard to come by until at least next year,..and apparently it will pay to wait until January to get anything as the 410 (or similar) is going to change. :o)) May be an interesting product update coming there,...so might be worth the wait. :o) But yes the DTT is a nice product! Very small and runs off straight USB! No power cable or anything needed! One tiny little box. And works well with laptops,..now theres an idea of a portable tv unit,...laptop, DTT, aerial,...what more could you want. :o) Never miss your show again! Enjoy!

There is also the option of using 2 or more internal DVB-T tuners in your Mac's PCI slots, not too sure what sort of software would let you do all this though. I'm currently toying with this idea but using a spare Linux PC running MythTV, apparently my Macs will also be able to view TV via ethernet through this box. A video router? ;-) It will live in the lounge room as it has a flash graphics card. Thats the theory anyway :-) Let me know if you are interested in how I fare... Cheers Paul
