iTunes 8.0.2 Released
Apple has released iTunes v8.0.2. As of this writing it is only available via Software Update; I prefer to download the installer from the download page, so I'll wait a bit. According to the release notes, iTunes 8.0.2:
- Addresses a quality issue creating MP3s on some computers.
- Fixes a connectivity issue with the iTunes Store when using some Internet proxies with Mac OS X.
- Improves accessibility with VoiceOver.
More info when and if available.
Rock Stars & Parents
When I was a kid and my family subscribed to LIFE magazine I remember they had a regular photo series of current "rock stars" and their parents. Google is now hosting LIFE's photo archive (H/T to Gruber) and I found one from that series I had never forgotten: Frank Zappa and his folks from 1970. Be sure to check out the "Related images" link on the page for more (Elton, Clapton, Ginger Baker, et al).
Ahh, SoundJam
A MacInTouch reader continues to use SoundJam and is nostalgic for its glory days. Maybe me, too. But only a little.
