The Paul Van Dyke app is pretty awesome…the itinery manager may of been added as a “yep add that too it” feature however there is alot of mileage ;) in an application specifically for international DJ’s travelling to and from gigs. So many niches in iphone development – the sky is the limit.

The iTunes link for FiRe tells me that the app isn’t available in my area. What does that mean? In the U.S.? Please help. I’d rather use FiRe than iTalk

The Mikey will work with the iPhone 3G. Unfortunately, it does not work with the 2nd gen iPod touch which is a function of the iPhone OS, not the app (rumor has it that iPhone OS 3 will resolve this limitation). We do have a KB section on our site for FiRe support. Everything you need to know is here:

Audiofile still doesn’t seem to have any info on its website about FiRe except screenshots (all they have is an iTunes store link). No product support page for it, unlike their other products. But on their iTunes store page, they list the Blue Mikey as a supported hardware. Does this mean they have fixed the issues they were having with the Blue Mikey and they support it again?

@ Peter Kirn
Yes, I have used it for like 2 month now, it was the first app I bought for my iPhone. I have only tried it with the internal mic of the iPhone, and it operates quite reasonable (depends on frequency and angle, it’s of course not an omnidirectional measurment microphone), would say on average +-3dB SPL, but I havn’t compared it with a measurment tool for a long period of time and in mixed environment, so please don’t take this for granted. Still, quite nice for the price.

[...] To run FiRe you’ll need an iPhone 3G, iPod Touch (second generation) or a first Generation iPhone with the headset plugged in. Read more over at CNET or Create Digital Music. [...]

@Downpressor:
Well, wait a minute.

The metadata embedded in the files is the same whether or not the drive is mountable.

And having manual access means if you *do* want to manually drop a file, you can. I don’t think *not* being able to do that counts as a feature.

Also, if the drive is mountable in that way, it means you can choose any player you want to manage your files automatically. So you can do that with iTunes or Winamp or Banshee (open source Mac/Linux – with its own auto Android plugin) or Songbird or Rhythmbox or MediaMonkey…

Or you can go the Apple way, and do it with … iTunes. And nothing else. And you can’t access files you put there. And you have to pay just to sync some of your own your own data.

I really do believe the iPhone is superior in a whole lot of ways, but I can’t find any rationalization that says that’s one of them.

It’s an especially big deal because we’re talking *all* the files you now use on a multi-purpose device, not just music.
