Anybody use Leopard yet?
Itunes support for flac would be interesting news 8)
-
I am sure play will work on 10.5 . I am waiting for mr.fedex guy to come with my copy.
-
I've just installed Leopard today and there seems to be *no* FLAC support. At least iTunes and QuickTime refuse to play them.
Also, the firewall has been totally simplified, compared to 10.4. You can't open/close single ports anymore. All you can do is allow/disallow programs.

Yup, I tested that at the Mac store this afternoon (I got my copy of Leopard today). iTunes and Quicktime are the same as before. >:(
Are you guys upgrading 10.4 or doing a clean install?
-
i've never done a clean install
-
Sounds like a job for Linux....
Can you dual-boot or something?
And is the iPod ever going to record?

Is that a good thing? I am not sure if that will act as port forwarding or not. Can someone let me know? Not that I can upgrade anytime soon.

I don't see what the big deal would be, with something like the transmission BT client. Set a port in transmission, then tell the apple firewall to let transmission do what it wants. Not a issue for me, I have a x86 box running http://ipcop.org/ (http://ipcop.org/) and I do all my firewalling there. I can bring it up threw a web interface.

Use Play rather than iTunes. It has 24-bit flac support via CoreAudio!
-
Play won't even launch for me in Leopard
-
Did you trash your prefs? I had the same problem in 10.4.10, but that solved it.
-
the developer says it won't work in leopard

The big deal is that a feature that was present in 10.4 was removed for 10.5. I don't want some software to just "do what it wants" on my computer. I have an external router/firewall here myself, but I use my notebook a lot at university and I might not be that well protected there. There was just no need to change anything as the 10.4 firewall system was actually quite good...

ahh yeah I could see it being a issue for a notebook

I suspect FLAC support will come with a major Quicktime update. Leopard comes with QT 7.2, same as current version on 10.4.
-
there has never been any indication from Apple that they will ever add flac support
-
It has, for a while.
You can record voice memos using an optional iPod-compatible microphone (available
for purchase at www.apple.com/ipodstore). You can store voice memos on iPod and
load them onto your computer. You can set iPod to record at low-quality mono (22.05
kHz) to save space, or high-quality stereo (44.1 kHz) for better sound.
