Integrating MCE into hardware takes that HTPC one step further into the regular-guy's household. Sean Alexander tells us about HP's plans to put Microsoft's Media Center onto their new MediaSmart TV's and Receivers. I guess that list solidifies my status as a geek. The last one I'd add to the list is MyTunesRSS which gives me remote access to my iTunes collection over the internet.The iPodifier which you can use to automatically monitor and transcode video and then import that video into a variety of video sources such as BTV, MCE, SageTV etc.QTFairUse which will strip the dang DRM from your iTunes files so you can listen to those tunes on any device.I would add to that list of fine iTunes tools the following iTunes/iPod tools: My favorites from the list is the MP3 to iPod Audio Book Converter which they discovered from my post earlier this year (I use this one often as I listen to a lot of audiobooks on my iPod.) and The Filter which is another one I use occasionally. Lifehacker has a nice writeup with their List of The 23 Best iTunes Add-ons. More details can be found at ZatzNotFunny, A hands-on post from Engadget and a hands-on impression from Gizmodo. I'll be interested to see how the quality is if it requires compression over a network and also how this works and how (or if) it might be used in conjunction with a HTPC. It also will incorporate a digital tuner for ATSC and clear QAM content which is very exciting news indeed. The pro-HD looks interesting as it streams high-def video at 'up to' 1080i and with 5.1 audio. Lots of good reads already, much of it resulting from the CES show that is just about here:ĭave Zatz talks about the Slingbox pro-HD and the Blackberry Mobile Client.
