iTunes 10 Breaks Non-Apple Streaming (Again)

September 9, 2010 By Stephen 7 Comments

Do you use an "iTunes compatible" device like an Iomega ix4 or Drobo FS or Roku SoundBridge? Have you noticed that it no longer works since you updated to iTunes 10? That's because Apple made a simple change to their Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP) that causes third-party devices to fail to connect correctly. Although software patches are already appearing, there is no … [Read more...] about iTunes 10 Breaks Non-Apple Streaming (Again)

March 3, 2009 By Stephen 8 Comments

I've been waiting on a Mac Mini to replace my sluggish and crash-prone Firefly/NSLU2 home music and file server, and Apple finally delivered the goods today, after leaving us in the lurch at Macworld 2009!

November 3, 2007 By Stephen 3 Comments

So I loved the original Roku Soundbridge I bought for the main stereo so much that I couldn't resist buying a second one when I spotted it on clearance at Best Buy. Now I've got one in my office, too. I wonder why they decided to clear it out. It was brand new, and had never appeared on their shelves that I noticed.
