Yeah, her macbook and her iphone did an excellent job of "just working" by ensuring that the internet was online, even if that meant spending an infinite amount of money. Why didn't the laptop use the phone's wifi connection? because the phone's hotspot was turned on, though not in-use.Ī nice $70 overage - thankfully capped by local telecom laws, or it'd have been $1'000 ten minutes later.
#FLOOLA ITUNES UPDATE#
Her iPhoneX just ate 3GB of cellular data in two minutes when she plugged it into her one-year old macbook pro to charge, while her macbook decided to update macos, and decided to use the IPhone-over-USB connection, and hence the iPhone's data plan, instead of free wifi. So will they still be able to play any of their existing content? New content? Do they get updates, somehow magically? Or do I get to throw them out and try, again, to convince a woman that the reason "apple products just work" is because they don't work for you. Not one of them is less than ten years old. I think she has about six devices that ultimately pull itunes content and show them on a screen somewhere. I still own the disk even if the streaming service changes TOS.ĭo all of her old hardware get upgrades? She's got an old appleTv box too, and an old mac mini running itunes in the basement. Even the Disney Bluray app does this - buy a CD, type in a code, and it pops up in Amazon/AppleTV. It's one of the reasons I buy from them - easy peezy. Amazon sort of does this - if you buy a CD from them the Amazon Music app places an MP3 version of the album right into the iOS music library (automatically). It would be nice if I could rip to the cloud and sync/stream to my phone. But that also appears to be the ONLY way you'll be able to access music. I understand technology is shifting to streaming services. Now I won't even have an integrated CD ripper / iPhone sync tool. It won't even list the songs I've previously purchased (I understand they won't stream my CDs - duh). However, when I login to Apple Music Service from supported devices (like Sonos) it shows that I must sign up for a paid subscription.
#FLOOLA ITUNES SOFTWARE#
I have a library of mostly CDs that I've ripped and a few songs I've purchased from Apple (one-hit wonders). Floola lets you manage music, photos, artworks, podcasts, and smart playlists on your iPod using a very simple user interface, the software also supports automatic conversion of incompatible audio and video files into iPod compatible formats, even allows adding YouTube and MySpace videos with a single click. I have noticed that Apple is moving away from "own your music" folks. The Finder App? On my Windows PC?ĭoes that mean I'll now be able to drag/drop MP3 and playlists just like any other MP3 player?
