Anyone use iEatBrainz?

I ran iEatBrainz (http://musicbrainz.org/) and ran it through a  
playlist to fingerprint a bunch of songs and get artisst/album info.   
This works fine, but when I try to update the tags, I get the  
following error:

	Can’t make «class pDID» of {«class cFlT» id 35417 of
	«class cLiP» id 25125 of «class cSrc» id 51 of
	application "iTunes"} into type string. (-1700)

I ran it again and selected only about 30 songs to update, and got the  
same error.

OK, fine, I ran it again and selected just one song to update.    You  
guessed it:

	Can’t make «class pDID» of {«class cFlT» id 35417
	of «class cLiP» id 25125 of «class cSrc» id 51 of
	application "iTunes"} into type string. (-1700)

OK, so maybe it's the first song in the list that is the problem....

	Can’t make «class pDID» of {«class cFlT» id 37976
	of «class cLiP» id 25125 of «class cSrc» id 51 of
	application "iTunes"} into type string. (-1700)

Sigh.  The app has no way to recover from this error, btw, and must be  
force-quit.

OSX friendly network file server?

What file server works best for Leopard clients?  Openfiler?   
NASLite?  FreeNAS?  Which protocol:  NFS or SAMBA?  Any locking issues  
with multiple clients?

Leopard reading HFS zip disks?

Hi everyone,

I have a friend who has a lot of old data on HFS formatted Zip disks  
(from an ancient machine running System 7), and has recently gotten a  
new iMac running Leopard.  Before I tell her to get a USB zip off of  
ebay, can someone confirm that 10.5.x can still read old HFS (not HFS 
+) disks?  I've tried googling, but can't find a definitive answer.

Thanks!

Mike

Re: Suffix "msg"

I had this happen once when the person sending the mail was using Outlook. IIRC, I had to resort to using some
piece of shareware on Windows to read them. Here's one I found via Google:

Suffix "msg"

I got some mail attachments with suffix ".msg".
None of my apps will open that correctly in Leo.
To what app do those files belong to??

BootCamp install issues


A friend of mine bought Age of Conan awhile back and they finally  
enabled the 'refer a friend' free passes, so I was going to give it a  
look see.

I fired up Boot Camp Assisistant, created a 45GB partition on on of my  
drives, and then rebooted with my windows disk in.

The Bootcamp partition shows up as a C: drive named BOOTCAMP, but when  
I select it, I get some gibberish from the windows installer about how  
it needs to write boot drivers to the disk but it can't for some reason.

I've tried to make a BC partition on my boot drive, but that always  
fails because "some files could not be moved".

Any ideas?  My wintendo machine crashes at the mere thought of running  
AoC (it needs the 8800 in my MacPro, really it does).

MP3 Encoders?

HI All,

I am looking for an MP3 encoding framework that i can embed in my app  
to take snippets of audio and encode as MP#.

I read about LAME, but visiting their website there is no API  
documentation, no examples, no anything. I downloaded the source and  
their is an XCode project to make LAME a framework, but it does not  
compile and still no API so I know what is what.

Does anyone know of any other MP3 encoding frameworks out there?

Thanks,

-Jason

OmniFocus

HI All,

I really like OmniFocus, but the Desktop app is $79.99 and the iPhone  
app is like another $19.99.

Omnifocus would solve a lot of my needs, but that is $100.00 per  
machine.

I am a small Not-For-Profit that is focusing on getting school bags  
filled with supplies to needy children that could otherwise not afford  
supplies.

Omni does not offer an NPO discount only volume discounts.

I only need one license to start to ensure it works well for me and  
then I can add other in the near future. But with no discount and I  
cannot afford all the licenses at once, It kinda of rules it out for me.

*sigh*

Thoughts?

Freaking Suspicious Headers

OK, I am getting really tired of every message with 'iphone' in the  
subject getting tarpitted to admin hell.  It's making me seriously  
consider unsubbing from the newsgroup, especially when I'm replying to  
a post on the list.
