The July '08 issue of MacLife has a feature entitled The 30 Best Mac Apps You Never Heard Of. This site lands between #17 (Handbrake) and #19 (Cyberduck). Neat! Thanks!
AOL Radio on Safari
The NYT notes that AOL Radio now works with Safari on the Mac. Additionally, the service adds all 140 CBS-owned radio stations. I've been checking it out and, while online radio isn't exactly my thing, it ain't bad.
iTunes 7.7 On the Horizon
The Unofficial Apple Weblog notes that the new iPhone 3G, available July 11, requires iTunes 7.7. Release date unknown, but obviously it will be before 7/11.
UPDATED: Set Video Kind of Selected v3.1
Set Video Kind of Selected had a small problem running in Tiger: it couldn't get the version of iTunes correctly and threw an error. This is fixed in this latest version.
This script will change the video kind property of the selected tracks to your choice of "Movie", "Music Video" or "TV Show". Additionally, "Show Name", "Season Number", and "Episode Number" can also be set or cleared for each selected track.
NEW: Selected Tags to Lyrics
I never bother much with Lyrics, so I didn't realize Lyrics for the current track on the iPhone or iPod Touch could be made visible until Far-Flung Antipodes Correspondent Jon Jong queried about putting various tags into the Lyrics tag so they could be viewed instead.
Selected Tags to Lyrics will allow you to copy any combination of the Name, Artist, Album, Grouping, Composer, BPM, Comments and/or Description of the selected tracks to the Lyrics tag of each. Tap-tap, and there you are!
UPDATED: Lossless to AAC Workflow v2.0
I've been wanting to update Lossless to AAC Workflow with some improvements for a while and finally got around to it. As a matter of fact, they were mentioned on a recent Mac Geek Gab Podcast . This is a collection of two scripts that assists with importing/converting Apple Lossless tracks and sending AAC copies to iPod such that you can keep archived Lossless files on your hard drive and manageable AAC files on your iPod. The newest version of the scripts run as universal binary and, in general, has performance fixes and enhancements.
Napster MP3 Review at TUAW
TUAW has a pretty thorough review of the new Napster MP3 store. Apparently kinda klunky.
NEW: Export Artwork v1.0
Export Artwork replaces the script "Save Artwork to Folder". This script will save the artwork of the single selected track to a user-chosen folder as a PNG or JPG file, with scaling options. Default location is the folder containing the selected track's file (or your Desktop if an iPod track is selected), however any location can be selected.
UPDATED: Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist v3.1
I only updated this a few days ago, but I managed to get Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist v3.1 to create a playlist much faster.
UPDATED: Set Video Kind of Selected v3.0
If you have visited recently, you may have noticed that I have been updating some of the more popular offerings to universal binary, so that scripts run natively on both PPC and Intel Macs. Set Video Kind of Selected v3.0 gets the UB treatment, as well as some performance fixes. In lieu of iTunes' ability to batch-edit video properties for videos, this script will change the video kind property of the selected tracks to your choice of "Movie", "Music Video" or "TV Show". Additionally, "Show Name", "Season Number", and "Episode Number" can also be set or cleared for each selected track.
