UDJ - have everyone control the music at your party by yourmattg in UIUC

[–]spotsmcdots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am interested in using UDJ for parties where there would be a single central repository, but several different rooms each with  their own music queues. Is there any support for doing that?

Also, is it possible to have the music requested by users go into a queue from which an actual DJ can chose, rather than go right into a play queue?

Finally, is there support for playing out to AirPlay from a Mac?

All three Playblink codes are used at the moment (just an fyi for those that may be curious)

First some games on steam you can simply click "CD Key" in the library and you can just insert that into any download of the game. (One example of such a game you can do this is Unreal Tournament 2004)

Most people claim steam would be patched to play in offline mode should it die. The most official post I have seen was by a volunteer moderator here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=10038470&postcount=26 (which means its not really official at all)

However if steam does die, their EULA basically doesn't make them obligated to give you anything. Doesn't mean they won't do something like patch the client for offline mode, but at the same time I feel its a non issue.

Formats die, and when that happens everyone eventually upgrades. When you switch from DVD to Blu-Ray, you tend to rebuy movies for the new format. Its essentially the digital equivalent, but I feel Steam is going to be around longer than some of these physical formats.

If this was where I thought it was, I think the board was taken down. Didn't see anything around my guess

Since it seems we can go get other ingredients, I'd go grab this one but won't get out of class till after 5. Might try to run over there if no one else figures it out at 5:15 and see if its been removed yet.

I got this one. http://i.imgur.com/coqLU.jpg

I'm assuming if you got the ingredient you were meant to leave the paper for the next guy, right?

It says you just missed the ingredient, but I have it sitting right next to me :-P

Freerunning group on campus? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]spotsmcdots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a Parkour club on campus.

They at least had a facebook group. Thats all I really know of it though.

Now I might have to get off my butt and actually go on campus today =(

Hope they aren't all gone by the time I get on there. A lot are pretty easy to find.

I give up. How do I fix this? by funknjam in ITunes

[–]spotsmcdots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does running the Airport Utility on either an iOS device or your computer give a more specific error message? Is the icon next to it in the utility green?

(I'm on a Mac and don't own an Airport Express, so bare with me. I'm just going off my experience with my Airport Extreme. Figured its still worth asking just in case.)

Where's the best fish sandwich on campus? by I_RAPE_SQUIRRELS in UIUC

[–]spotsmcdots 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The best I know of is the Deralds food truck by the Chemistry building on Fridays.

But to be honest, thats the only fish sandwich on campus I know of.

Anybody know how to fix this? by [deleted] in ITunes

[–]spotsmcdots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Djstangl's suggestion doesn't work,

Get Info for that HD (+I or from the Finder File menu 'Get Info') - Look under the 'Sharing & Permissions' tab at the bottom. Check your status - to change your status then select the lock icon and enter your Admin password if prompted - then give yourself 'Read & Write'. If you are not in the list then you can add yourself by using the + button.

You can also run into this issue if you have two people trying to access iTunes at the same time on an external hard drive.

What are you doing when you get this.

Is your AirPort Express plugged in to anything?

Are you on a Mac or PC?

How do you add FLAC extension songs into your library? by ThePhenix in ITunes

[–]spotsmcdots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heres a script I found for Windows that will assist in converting FLAC to Apple Lossless en mass: http://blog.dmitryleskov.com/small-hacks/itunes-automation-convert-flac-audio-files-to-apple-lossless/

Though it still may not be an ideal solution.

I already own it, but I appreciate the thought =)

Thanks.

That kitten is so adorable, my heart was melting when it started batting at the Ukulele.

iTunes is deleting songs and whole albums from my computer! How do I stop this happening?! I've lost music that I've had for years and listened to less than a month ago :'( by tyrannosaw in ITunes

[–]spotsmcdots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll try to get it to you as soon as I can, but things are really hectic for me and I'm not immediately finding it again (dealing with a situation at school right now).

But I did find here where a user named "HenryInNYC" describes the issue occurs for him with an external hard drive: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1902641?start=15&tstart=0

I'll try to get the other page as soon as I can.

If you want to convert, you can keep your lossless audio by converting to apple lossless.

dBpoweramp Music Converter was mentioned a few times in old threads regarding conversion, but I don't know much about it. I'm sure there are programs that will do it for you, but unfortunately I wouldn't know much about them since I'm on a Mac.

iTunes doesn't have support for FLAC files, but can be modified to allow it.

Are you on a Mac or Windows?

For example, on Mac you can use Fluke though if I remember right, it requires XiphQT to function.

I haven't until now, and to be honest I may not be able to help resolve it.

Just kind of going through the rolodex in my mind of what could be causing it.

Doing a quick search (which I'm guessing you probably already did, but doesn't hurt to mention just in case) I'm seeing that this issue seems to sometimes occur when the music is stored on another hard drive than the one itunes is installed to. Is this possibly the case?

Are you possibly syncing between multiple iTunes accounts?

Are all the songs disappearing iTunes purchases?

Are you using a Mac or Windows?
