  • Music changed forever with Apple's iTunes Music Store 20 years ago

    I fiddled a little bit with Napster file-sharing back in the day, but early on ended up with content that did not match the file names. It all just struck me as a dubious enterprise and a huge security hole. So I ditched it and stuck with CDs and ripping my own mp3s until iTunes came along. 
    Napster is not dead - It is YouTube! There are so many songs on it.

  • How to decide between two HomePods or a Sonos system for a home theater

    halfmachalfmac

    I have been using 2 of the original full size HomePods with my Apple TV for years. Magical! I was using Bluetooth sound bars before as we use a projector and a blank wall for our TV. All the AV equipment(DVD,Laserdisc,HDDVD players) are by the projector and wiring speakers was a no go. The problem with Bluetooth is that is drops out now and then and has to be re-paired. There were times we had to move the sound bar to repair it. With Wifi and HomePods, problem gone. Having our Apple TV control everything is great. One volume control. With eARC the DVD automatically plays and then goes back to the Apple TV screen. Simple.
