Yeah! That's a great idea, Phungus! ;-) Then they can start building in all the applications you'll ever need, Photoshop, Excel, FileMaker, Netscape, and on and on. Sure, it'll…

Wow, I don't know what Phungus's problem is, but s/he seems to have some issues to work through... For me, I'm all in favor of a facelift and increase in functionality of the CD P…

Maybe the new virtual memory stuff in OS X will address the memory and loading time issues. I should mention that I use the Scrapbook as an MP3 player, with AppleWorks draw documen…

Why don't the guys in MacAMP make a plugin or engine that will use Quicktime 4? Then we would get the great performance of QT4 with just ANY interface we would ever want.

I already e-mailed the MacAmp team about this about 3 weeks ago but I never got an answer.

What did you recommend them, Fungus? In my perspective, the only thing they could exploit from QT4 would be the streaming audio and video, the video playback, editing, full screen,…

Well, I did email Apple Support via feedback link, but the girl who emailed me back told that she would not forward my great suggestion to the Apple media player developers because…

I'd like to see the Apple Video Player rolled into the player. Since QT4, my video inputs on my 8500 don't work... something about missing QuickTimeLib. So, if QT4 has an open arch…

Hey Apple CD Player in QuickTime Player!!! It sounds kool I know... I was reading the lastest copy of MacAddict magazine, when I saw on the "How to do it section" about QuickTime P…

No live streaming of Fox News? No MP3 streaming? Look, QT should have been realeased with a load of favorite presets just like Real Video has. Lots of people want to stream Fox new…

If you want to put the bloomberg movie in your favorites: Go to the website, save the movie to disk, and add it to your favorites. voila!

Hopefully Apple will get folks like ABC news, NBC news along with FOX New to supply QuickTime 4.0 streaming content. How about MSNBC cable? Is QT 4.0 capable of viewing Real Au…

I know of many online radio stations that stream MP3s over the internet and tell their users to just type an URL into WinAmp. Quicktime Player should have the ability to stream thi…

QT4 does stream MP3s, but only when the QT streaming server is available from what I understand. If you have a fast enough connection, then you can enjoy streaming as well over th…

Works like a charm for me...just throw an mp3 on a webserver and it will stream via http. Apple did a great job on that. ==Robb

Actually it doesn't seem to stream the content that appears on the mentioned page -- please tell me if I'm doing this wrong or what.. http://www.datagrid.com/~flipside/station/ Ca…

Quote: http://www.datagrid.com/~flipside/station/ Can QT4 Player stream those MP3s? That is a negative on this end. I think that the setup is specific to Wi…

I believe there's a slight miscommunication here. MP3 radio shows are broadcast from Shoutcast servers. WinAmp and X11Amp for Unix (though not MacAmp) have a feature that allow yo…

I was also looking for a mp3 player that can play live streams, and I found StreamWorks from XingTech (http://www.xingtech.com). However, it doesn't seem to work, but I'm not sure…

I had some time and decided to run some tests on the recent codecs out there. Here's what I found: zygo - low bitrate (even on best setting), low quality; very choppy playback; ei…

if you have access to Windows, how do the various versions of divx compare?

I have VPC, but I'm not familiar with the DivX codecs. Also, since 3ivX is comparable and since DivX playback compatibility is not so good on OS X, I see no reason for me to use a …

Quote: Originally posted by MadMacs: <STRONG>So, which do you think was the best? Did you take a look at the non-free codecs?</STRONG> no, I didn…

IMHO divx is awesome in osx. 3ivx plays great on my 450 mp. These are currently the best codecs for movies. Most 1.5 hr flicks will look great(full screen) at under 700 mb. Both…
