The Kolonel's Journal

I’m a co–founder — with my colleague David — of the Toronto Area Cocoa and WebObjects Developer Group, aka tacow. We’re also the first international chapter of CocoaHeads. Our next quarterly meeting, which we postponed a month so we could legally discuss Leopard (among other things), will be held on November 13. Details are available here.

Today’s big news is Mojotones 1.3. The main new feature in this release is the ability to open files outside of your iTunes library. Under the file menu, there’s a new item: “Open Other Track…”. Select that item, navigate through your disks and folders, and open the track you want. It will be added to a special new playlist called “Other” at the bottom of the sources pane. You can then use the track as you would any other in your library. Also, in addition to some minor bug fixes and tweaks, I’ve fixed something I overlooked during the UI redesign a couple of versions ago — the player buttons now enable and disable appropriately depending on the state of the application.Namaste, as they say.
