Total love for all things iTunish

From the, "necessary things that are just around the corner" department......

In our testing labs at this very moment is one more major step toward full Mac integration. Auto detection and indexing of your iTune library and playlist. Kaboom. When this is released (which should be very soon as I personally saw it pass the first two tests today) you'll have all your iTunes music (and someday... videos) indexed and searchable as well as the playlists you lovingly put together showing up in the music playlist panel.

This may sound like small potatoes, but boy howdy, I'll do it. I'll admit that although I use my iTunes thangy pretty much every day to listen to podcasts of all the radio shows I'm missing by having to work for a living, I never really looked on my hd to see where the application lives. And now i don't have to. Nice,. One more thing I don't have to think about or commit to memory. I like automatic brain cell saving devices. Yes, indeed, WeBot is making me smarter; not to mention simplifying my life by making it so i don't have to sync my iPod every night to get at my podcasts. Now I can just plug some headphones into my iPhone and everything I need is at hand. Sweet.

Apple adds WeBot to its offical web apps directory

wo0t, we've been added to the Apple iPhone web applications directory. it was only a matter of time as we built WeBot to work with Macs and iPhones from day one (as well as Linux and windows) and the response from early adapters has been breathtakingly positive.

WeBot adds a "no limits" aspect to streaming music on your iPhone that was undreamed of in the olden days of only having 4 or 8 Gb of storage space. No more picking and choosing which 8 Gb of your 58 GB music collection to upload to your iPhone. Nope, you can have it all and have it now. That's hot.

It's really quite easy. You create a WeBot account and automatically get the proper app download for your platform , be it Mac, Win or Linux (we believe in cross platform free love). Place a separate bot on each machine where you've music or photos stored and associate said music with the bot. Then whip out your iPhone, wherever you may find yourself in your daily travels, open up the web browser and go to WeBot.com Log in to your account and search/browse/access ALL your media. It's like having a couple of gigantic hard drives strapped to your back without the chafing. This is the future, bubba. No more uploading, no more syncing, no more limits.

iPhone -- streaming your playlists

I gotta admit the coolest thing we've built so far has by far been the mobile experience between WeBot and your trusty iPhone. As long as you can get a decent connection you can stream your music or watch your photos anywhere anytime. WeBot has made the choice between a 4 gb or an 8gb phone pointless. Sheesh, i've got 140 gigs of music on my various boxes and i can get to all of it, no uploading, no syncing. This is totally schwank.

The only slight hump in the road we've run into is the Safari browser and its buffering limitations. Depending on the lengths of a playlist or album you're trying to stream, you can occasionally run up against said limits and the whole playlist may not stream. It's a hump in the road, but we'll figure it out.

happy Friday.
