Found Footage: Stream music from your computer to your
Filed under: Audio, iPod Family, Cool tools, iPhone Simplify Media allows you to stream music from your home computer to your iPhone or iPod touch. Admittedly this video is pure marketing but the concept is cool. I installed a copy of the 1.0 alpha build from Installer.app, and gave it a spin--or at least I tried. The program requires that you have a Simplify Media account so I had to step back and grab a desktop client first. Then after painfully installing the software, signing agreements and clicking "I don't have an account yet", I finally got signed up and added my music folders. The whole process took about 20 frustrating minutes but persistence paid off. I then returned to my iPhone, signed in with my new account, and although I was able to get correct listings of my music library, none of the songs actually played back--causing "Server is not responding" errors instead. This is one of the caveat lector instances: Boy does this tool sound like it's going to be great but at the same time it doesn't really work as well as you might hope, at least right now. Simplify Media for iPhone is still in its alpha release. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
