Hopefully they will make it on par with real brushed metal apps instead of the fake brushed metal in iMovie.

Depends on whether they want it to run on OS 10.1.x too. That's why iMovie and iPhoto still use "fake" brushed metal.

It's interesting. When you substitute the real brushed metal .nib in iPhoto 2, and apparently in that iTunes screenshot above, the borders get fatter. I don't know what that means per se, just an observation.

I think it is impossible for anyone to tell if this is a fake or not. Pictures of the quicksilvers, cube, and Steve Jobs presentation at Intel were all dubbed fakes and turned out to be true. With JPEG compression it is pretty hard to tell.

If iTunes does offer sharing, the preferences for it should be in the System Preferences like every other sharing option in OS X. It could become confusing if lots of renevous application started having their own sharing preferences.

Also this picture isn't that filesharing product that guy built for iTunes. That adds a network playlist above the radio selection.

Get it right... Filesharing between two Macs using iTunes was NOT shown. That suggests that MP3s could be swapped back and forth. What was actually shown was the ability to PLAY another person's iTunes Library using Rendevous. There was no evidence given that this would also allow you to copy the files over.

hopefully they'll do just that, so most people can't copy it and therefore apple can justify it, and we can all hack it, with stuff like AudioHijack or whatever.

It'll just be iTunes serving a playlist of .mp3s, and another iTunes playing them as they're downloaded.

They files will probably be cached somewhere javascript:

However, why bother, PFS is easy enough.

I'm not going to instantly jump and call it a fake. It's not finished, but it all gels.

It's your music.

It's just that the fake metal in iMovie and iPhoto look terrible. The fake metal in iTunes actually looks right.

If you really wants to move mp3s over rendevouz ichat is only one click away...

flounder · February 18, 2003 10:27PM

Well, fake or real, it's a good song in the screenshot.

I read on Apple's discussion forums that AAC doesn't support ID3 tags. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

the itunes icon is still the same as 3...they may not be done but icon isn't a last minute choice, i'm sure steve has to approve...also why isn't the itunes app active?

i'm not saying there isn't going to be something like this but i dont think this is it...those unaligned buttons,the unecessary resize...simple things to fix that wouldn't be skipped just because its not completed

where did your friend get this, and why not send you it?

robster · February 19, 2003 7:51AM

most obvious thing missing from the pic is anyform of rendezvous in the source panel in the main iTunes window.

Surely there would be something right alongside Radio listing the available sources to stream from. Also the Rendezvous settinghs would be in the main preference window not some spun off panel.

SO fake

Great, iTunes 4 only works with one song.

HAHAHA

overhope · February 19, 2003 4:25PM

I'm going to have to play over my local network (now that I have one and another Mac to play with), but I have a sneaky feeling that I can use Quicktime Broadcaster to stream MP3s locally...

Anyone else tried this?

Quicktime broadcaster can only stream external audio and video files.

To stream mp3s from your hard drive you have to use the Quicktime streaming server. It works on regular OS X even though Apple claims is for OS X server only. You have to have a pretty fast computer though to deliver a high quality stream. This is where having your own rack of Xserves and xServe raids at home helps.
