im trying to send someone music + playlists on a flash drive. if i edit the m3u playlists to change from, for instance

code:
#EXTINF:315,Odessa - Caribou
/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Caribou/Swim/01 Odessa.mp3
to

code:
#EXTINF:315,Odessa - Caribou
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Caribou/Swim/01 Odessa.mp3
will it import correctly on their computer?

e: evidently not. gently caress. why is this hard

e2: it works with xml playlists because of the "file://" thing. apparently no one else on the internet has figured this out. whoo

e3: except the XML file also has the itunes persistent ID and other poo poo that could gently caress everything up. what the hell ahaha.

Oh for days of yonder, when we had Steve Jobs to wow us with the latest stuff. His keynotes were legendary, and I looked forward to every one with baited breath. Those days are gone forever, alas.

It seems as though Cook almost wants to disappoint us, wants the keynote to be dull, wants to concentrate on watch bands, Eddy Cue wobbling to music, vacuous celebrities and pushing ads and subscriptions, all things that fly in the face of Steve's Apple.

Perhaps, one day, Apple will be released from the clutches of decay. May we all yearn for a return to Apple's original Raison d'être: providing us with the finest computers. Goodbye distractions, hello focus. I fear my optimism is hopeless and deluded. :(

the lightning connector is superior to 3.5mm just as it was to the dock connector and for the same reasons. this isnt hard

ok theres been a lot of whining itt and elsewhere about the headphone jack removal

there are three categories of headphone users

1 - rubes
2 - "audiophiles" / ppl who like high-end audio
3 - people attached to their current wired earbuds

for group 1, wireless earbuds are preferable to wired earbuds for all sorts of reasons - formfactor, etc. these people already listen to compressed audio so the quality degradation from going wireless doesn't matter.

for group 2, where i sit - lightning headphones are a lot better and eliminating the headphone jack on the iphone to speed the conversion is real nice. getting inline/dac amps means no more awkwardly carrying a separate dac/amp taped to your phone. high-end headphones that are actually portable are now possible, look at the crazy poo poo audeze is already turning out. this type of device can't exist without the lightning jack.

for group 3, if you are really that attached to what you have just use the loving adapter, its not that hard and if you leave it on the headphone cable youll forget about it pretty quickly

great so i can unplug from my phone and plug into my laptop for a meeting and forget the adapter at my desk and be unable to use my phone all night even when i have headphones sounds great..... not!!!
how are you going to forget your adapter when its attached to your headphones. this is really straightforward

this is just like with the optical drive except ditching the headphone jack places less of a burden on users and has genuine benefits besides Thinness

how do you not understand that i have to take it off the end to plug my headphones into my laptop? it's another thing to lose that adds zero value. it is not a feature.
idk stick it in your pocket and stop being 5

it adds zero value if you are both poor and a plebe as outlined above

look at this poo poo



these are planar magnetic earbuds. by definition you need plenty of power to drive a planar magnetic device. the only reason this combination works at all is because thanks to the lightning jack it has an inline dac/amp/dsp. it comes with an app w/ a 10-band EQ



bow down bitches

if you want these the headphone jack existing does not stop you from getting them, it just makes the phone better than one without a headphone jack.
it forces headphone makers to switch to either of the better standards, wireless or lightning

I tried to go LCD in my MAME cabinet because finding a new 25" arcade crt was literally impossible until one day I finally found one and I can sleep at night. If you're gonna put an lcd in an arcade cabinet you might as well be one of those people that just throws two x arcade sticks in front of their plasma and call it an arcade! My stars.
that is not the same thing at all, there is a real tangible benefit to building your own arcade controls and there also are plenty of real tangible benefits to using an lcd besides ~*muh scanlines*~
