Apple releases third beta of 10.5.1 to test iTunes

After announcing and delete accounts Match iTunes developers yesterday, Apple has released a new beta of iTunes 10.5.1 to test the new music service $ 24.99 per year.

The third beta of iTunes 10.5.1 is now available for members of the Apple Developer Program, update that includes a number of significant improvements in stability and performance related to Match iTunes. According to the company, all those who are testing the Match iTunes service, which also remain in beta, should upgrade to the latest version of iTunes 10.5.1 to continue using the subscription music service.

Recall that the last beta was released earlier this month, when he joined the Match iTunes to Apple TV. On the other hand, the first beta of iTunes 10.5.1 was delivered to developers in October, shortly after the public release of iTunes 10.5. The original promise was that Apple’s iTunes would be available publicly Match the end of October, but the service can not be accessed by consumers and the company has no comment.

Finally, it is worth clarifying what it is : supporting collections of up to 25 000 songs for $ 24.99 a year, iTunes Match will allow users to scan your music library, including those songs from music CDs or other locations, and associate them with those available in the Apple online store. Then, subscribers can re-download any of their songs to other Apple devices, including iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPhone. These downloads will be 256Kbps AAC files, even if the original files have a lower quality. As I said Dani months ago, it seems that Apple and its iTunes service will achieve Match put a price on piracy.

Adobe releases Carousel for IOS and Mac

Just over a month we were talking about Adobe Carousel , a new product from Adobe designed to manage our photos in the cloud can be a serious competition for streaming photos icloud. Now the company has just launched its development finally available to all through applications for Mac and for IOS .

But let’s memory, what do we mean exactly? Adobe has created a service to store our entire photo collection in the cloud, thus enabling the synchronization of images up to five devices. Thus, if personally have a Mac, an iPhone and iPad for example, there is no problem accessing our catches from these devices no matter where we are.

“But that does icloud” you may be thinking. But it’s not exactly, as you probably know, icloud now has a capacity to sync photos through our computers in the apple, but it is a limited service, as much up to 1000 photos and a maximum of 30 days can use these photos in the cloud giving us time to store them locally. However, Adobe does not put any limit to the space provided so that we will have our pictures in the cloud accessible forever.

Also, do not forget that Adobe is a company that knows how to develop good image editing tools, not in vain is the owner of Photoshop software, so the editing functions have been added to the application, with multiple effects and other changes promise to take advantage of this long experience. On this aspect we should not worry to retouch photographs, they always save the original Adobe on their servers for when you need it.

Finally, to say that Adobe Carousel is also a social product. Not only can send mail catches, Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr, but has thought about an option to create family albums, so many family members may add or view photos in the same folder. Remember, all this photographic synchronization solution in the cloud can be ours for $ 59.99 per year or 5.99 a month, although this is only an initial promotion, it will eventually cost you 99.99 per year or 9, 99 per month.
