Album art issue - iTunes 9.2

[billybob476]

yeah looks like that on my iPhone, though I actually think it looks kind of cool.

Hmm, that is strange. Wonder if it was a one time anomaly? Rico, you use Audacity right? Has there been any changes/updates to that program?

[Rico]

Well, what do you know - iTunes 9.21 is out today.  And this was in the patch notes....

"• Addresses minor issues with dragging and dropping items "

I was just coming in to point out 9.2.1.

I guess that all you can do is try it.

This isn't a new issue but the album art on my iPhone tends to get 'confused' from time to time. Like podcasts will show album art from a different podcast and the like. Does anyone else experience this?

I've never seen that but iTunes isn't my primary mechanism for downloading podcasts so I guess I might have stressed it less then you.

Mike - what software do you use to interface with your iPhone?  Do you put podcasts on it??

[Feathers]

I'm running with a (relatively reliable) third party App that subscribes to feeds and manges downloads and so on directly from the phone. I resort to iTunes if the other solution lets me down in some way (or for podcasts I'm not that interested in and want to play at double speed).

[Rico]

So you download direct to the phone?  Hmm.  How long does that take - especially on video casts?

Oh, what's the App called?

[Feathers]

Over WiFi, downloads take the same sort of time to PC or Phone as far as I know.

The App was RSS Player and is now Podcaster. The latest version is not completely stable but it's generally good enough.

[billybob476]

ha, since iOS4 nothing has been completely stable on my 3G. Not even the freaking basic iPod app!

Ahh, Wi-Fi.  Still slower than wired in, but quicker than being out and about.

Was there a particular reason you don't use iTunes?  Just curious because I find it does a really good job actually with podcasts/vidcasts.  (Well, except for that recent album art thing.)

[Feathers]

I don't like having a mobile device tied down to a PC. If I had to wait to get near iTunes to download podcasts I'd have nothing to listen to most of the time followed.

The reality is that I don't use my home PC most days (my wife has it!) and getting iTunes on the work PC would be an obvious no-no.

I actually have not had any problems with iOS4 - and I like the new features.  The unified inbox for multiple mail accounts, the ability to zoom the camera, and making folders on the 'desktop' is great.
I do notice that I do have fewer bars in certain places - but this is a true rendering of the actual strength in the area.  Very frustrating - right at my desk in the office I get lousy coverage - right where it would be most useful.
