I used a pair of cheapie speakers, and sat between them, and I could actually hear the sound move around me, below me and above me. It's pretty incredible, and I'm hoping we see this added to movies - even if they leave 5.1+ systems in place, and simply use holophonic for above and below, it would be great. T

[H] Podcast software?
I am currently using Juice and while it works fine there are a couple of things I don't like about it. The biggest is that I can't have it retag files as they are coming in. Most of the podcasts that I have seen either don't have their ID3 tags set properly or they don't have them set the way I have my Library setup :) Anyone found software that will do this? Schedule and download RSS feeds and allow you to set/override ID3 tags? -- Brian

I don't see a problem with booth babes myself, though I've never been to a show (I did do a Comdex a long time ago). Years ago I would go to all the Detroit Auto Shows at Cobo Hall to take pics of all the booth babes the cars. I was able to get a bunch of models for nada that way. Most of them sure took to the camera when I explained that I was an aspiring photographer trying to put a portfolio together many of them would model for me on the side free of charge since many of them were aspiring models so I'd give them my shots as a gratuity or was that something else that was a gratuity? ;-) --+-- Wayne D.

I just dumped juice (and started using itunes for podcatching) a little bit ago but could of sworn there was a setting to set genre to podcast or some such.

[H] Broadcast Flag revisited or Corrupt Polititions and Lobbyists bumping uglies again..
Straight from the Electronic Freedom Foundation fellas! If you value your ability to record for fair usage at home I urge you to write your Congressional representatives and complain vigorously. Sure we can rush out and buy current tech to bypass anything they introduce hardware-wise but sooner or later it'll break down and need to be replaced not to mention the fact that technology marches on. We have to vigorously fight each and every effort by these pricks who are trying to make you and I into criminals because we timeshift or archive TV and Radio programming for personal usage. They're trying to overturn the Betamax Supreme Court decision that makes it legal to do so. Down with H.R.4569!!! The Digital Transition Content Security Act (H.R.4569) - or Analog Hole bill - would force every video player or recorder with an analog output in America to watch for and obey a proprietary signal embedded in video broadcasts called a VEIL watermark. But how would such a detector work? What would be its cost? And how secure is the watermark? Security researchers don't know - because the company behind VEIL won't let them look at the technology without first obtaining a license. A license to examine the VEIL specification costs $10,000 and requires signing a non-disclosure agreement that forbids revealing the details of the technology to others. Congress is choosing a technology that must be built into your systems, and it's not giving non-entertainment industry experts the opportunity to check out the technology first to make sure it doesn't break your systems, or, even worse, leave those systems vulnerable to attack. A technology that is a basic component in almost every audio- visual device, from camcorders to VCRs to TV cards - analog- to-digital (A/D) converters - is about to be encumbered with mysterious and proprietary black box watermark technology. Congress is highly unqualified to mandate specific technologies for us; tech mandates like this are even more dangerous when there's no chance for independent review. Oversight is impossible when third parties hold the keys to the law. Write to your Representative now, and demand that Congress reject outright this bill with its undisclosed, proprietary provisions.
