More a remixed re-issue than a bold new album? Preview The new Nano is a step backwards, of course. A year ago, Apple made such a big deal about the risk of setting aside the popular iPod Mini in favour of the then new slimline Nano, but now we find it going back to the Mini look, right down to the metallic shell, rounded sides, white plastic top and bottom, and the colour scheme...â¦

Taking us through the highlights of each of the new iPods, David Pogue (New York Times) anoints them âthe best players you can buy.â iPod touch, for example, offers âthe iPhoneâs spectacular widescreen video playback, wireless Wi-Fi Internet features and its now-famous two-finger touchscreen operating system.â And wireless access to iTunes:  âYou can browse or search the catalog, listen to 30-second samples, buy songs for $1 eachâand download them directly to the iPod.â These iPods, Pogue says, âare nearly impossible to beat; there are other 160-gigabyte multimedia players, for example, but theyâre much bigger and more expensive than the iPod classic. And if you do value things like beauty, software elegance and trouble-free computer integrationâwell, good luck resisting that new Nano.â

&#147;The Apple iPod mini, at $249, is my choice as 2004&#146;s hottest high-tech gadget,&#148; writes Mike Wendland in the Detroit Free Press. &#147;All of the iPods are awesome. But this little package, weighing in at 3.6 ounces, a half-inch thick and the size of a business card, is so slick and so sleek that all I can say is: Sweet &#133; And it delivers a sound quality so big and so pristine that it&#146;s hard to believe it&#146;s coming from something so tiny. It&#146;s cutting-edge, high-tech chicness.&#148; [Dec 10]

Continuing the thread from yesterday. I got absolutely nowhere, some people suggested I use a smart playlist, missing the point that I'm a developer working on a podcatcher, not a user trying to use iTunes as a podcatcher. I'm sure it's an excellent way to subscribe to podcasts, but I have my own ideas how podcatchers should work, and I want to integrate them with other stuff I'm working on. Integrating with iTunes is proving to be quite a challenge, or maybe it's an art, we'll see.  As usual Mac users are superior sumbitches.  (Quoting the James Brolin character the first time we meet him in the third season finale of The West Wing.) Anyway, the search continues, I tried another more direct tack, and looked for glue for iTunes for UserLand, and bingo, there's a match, from 2001, a well-known Frontier programmer Sean Elfstrom, apparently converted glue for the Sonic SoundJam app that iTunes used to be, before Apple acquired it.  I installed the glue in the OPML Editor. It's daunting, for sure, but let's see what I can get working.
