Jean-Louis Gassée on the saxophone

“A new platform is like a new musical instrument. You can transpose existing music for it, or write new music that exploits its unique expressive power. The saxophone, for example, solved two problems: it provided better coupling and impedance between the reed and the air mass; and the mechanics offered better, faster fingering and a wider range of notes. You could play Bach fugues on a saxophone (rather nicely) or explore the then-emerging genre of jazz.”

Jean-Louis Gassée, Be Newsletter, Volume II, Issue 49. From The Quotable JLG.

Track times

The shortest music track in my library: Introduction to Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, op. 43, by Rachmaninoff: 7 seconds.

And the longest: Amarok by Mike Oldfield: 1 hour. (Note that a section of Amarok is called Rachmaninoff.)

While you can download Amarok for 99 cents, Rachmaninoff might look more popular on last.fm… These 2 guys don’t take the time into account…

iTunes features wishlist

iPod+iTunes continuous play: When your iPod is playing and you plug it, it stops and iTunes continues to play the same song (unless iTunes was already playing something). In the other way too: when you unplug an iPod, it continues to play what iTunes was playing. Speaking of iTunes, can we expect an iTunes Pro?Update: Apple TV, released March 20, does it for paused movies.Update 2: iTunes Plus, introduced May 30.

Olof Näslund - Vol. 1

Tip of the day (week? month?): the first proper CD album from composer Olof Näslund, Vol. 1, will be released on March 2.

Sorry, we had to shut down JustOneMoreThing.com, the original fake Steve Jobs' blog. Please beware of tasteless clones. Seriously.
