Until Yosemite comes out, you’re going to need an easy way to share files between your devices. What Sucks: Requires a bit more customization than casual users will likely be comfortable with.īuy it?: Grab this if you’re looking for a no BS way of making Bitly links on your Mac. What’s Good: Easy way to create Bit.ly links right from the services menu. (Though you can then use Launchbar with this service.) I think that Services are a better way to go, as you don’t need to rely on a second app for your workflow to function. If you’re at all intimidated by reading code, you may not want to make the leap, and look for something like a Pop-Clip extension or a Text Expander action. I think that for power users, this shouldn’t exactly be too complicated. The configuration can be a bit touchy, especially because Bit.ly doesn’t let you copy your API login information, just the key. You will need to add you API login and key to the script, so make sure to select to open it into Automator and export into services when you’re finished.

After you download them, the two scripts will open and install themselves into services. The app is actually a Ruby Script embedded in Automator. There is support for custom URLs and iTunes affiliate accounts.

Beats is free to download with a 14 day trial on the App Store.īit.ly is a service that everyone uses, or likely keeps a bookmark handy or a browser plug in running for. What Sucks: Sentence feature isn’t useful for people with more obscure tastes, hard to get variety in radio.īuy it?: If you’re into pop music, or mainstream ideas about genres, this might be an app worth checking out. What’s Good: Like all streaming apps, good cross section of genres and artists available. Though they may help bring iTunes into the streaming era, Beats does nothing but cozy Apple up to the very music industry that impedes progress. Likely, this comes from the fact that Beats comes from music industry insiders, and like all music industry insiders they need to dumb things down into buzzwords. The genres aren’t anything more than a radio programmer’s idea of genres, and the moods seem like they were written by someone who spent ten minutes on Twitter and now they understand “the youths.” Who’s in the mood to make bad choices or pre-partying while at work with their boo? Seriously this is the sort of pandering youth culture bullshit that made me stop listening to the radio in the first place. Problem is, and I’m likely putting on my old guy hat here, the sentence is idiotic. You can re-edit the station to tweak it if you don’t like the creation. You then get a radio station customized to your mood. This allows you to create a radio station based on location, activity, mood, company and genre. (For instance I wasn’t able to find Led Zeppelin on Beats, but all their albums are on Spotify.) The interface for searching and listening to music is easy enough, but the central premise of the service is The Sentence. The catalog isn’t the problem, the music industry ensures that all steaming services seem to have the same catalog with some spotty and rolling differences.

Since Beats’ streaming service was supposedly the reason Apple was shelling out so much cash for the company, I’m using the new iPad app. What sucks is that their effort is so mediocre. Dre and Trent Reznor on board might be the only way to make music nerds pay attention to yet another streaming service. Making the case for a new streaming service is tough, but having Dr.
