iTunes 4.9 Chapters in Depth

CBC Radio 3 just released their music podcasts with chapters today. It seems like they send a version with chapters for Itunes clients and the mp3 version for non-Itunes clients. I just got it and its pretty handy to be able to jump to any song in their podcast. You can get to their podcast in the Itunes Canada directry or at http://www.cbcradio3.com/podcast/

What would be really great is if the images that are displayed on the the iPod Photo could also be displayed on a TV connected to the iPod Photo, this way you could actually get a few readable lines of text or a figure in there. I'd love to use that to record lectures. Also, is there a way to see the images in a larger format than tiny icons when playing the audio on iTunes? Anybody has an idea, please write me to yoav_freund@yahoo.com Thanks!

I think that beyond the podcasting effort, these chapters are finally a good answer to the "Dark Side of the Moon" gapless playback complaint. Last night I wrote a small applescript for iTunes that will create an XML chapter file from a CD or other track list. If you are interested, give it a try: http://www.rosetrace.com/~logan/ipod/exportasxmlchapters.tgz

i have the same problem as Leo... The link wont work + if you search "fly with me" in the podcasts in itunes music store, it wont find anything.... anyone have a solution??

"This is where the magic happens ... that link there that is labeled 'Fly With Me'? If you click on it..." ---> I tried it and it doesn't work. Is there something not working in iTunes that they're not telling us about? I Googled "Fly With Me", and the podcast works fine, just not from iTunes. What gives?

So did I fraser. :) http://www.tuaw.com/2005/06/29/ipod-software-updates-adds-a-slew-of-podcasting-features/ I'm glad to see it works on the monochrome iPods as well though.

I posted some screenshots of how all this translates to the iPod: http://www.livejournal.com/~fraserspeirs/904199.html

I think it could be very exciting as a step toward being more friendly to classical music. Like the comment above said, this would be good for albums you want to join tracks on. For example, operas would benefit from this if you could make Acts and Scenes as well as individual arias and recits into chapters. Cheers to Apple on another step in the right direction for classical music.

Does the iPod photo (or color) changes the album art when the bookmark changes the picture? My guess is that it doesn't, since it only supports one album art per song.

This is similar to what I have been thinking about lately. However I am not sure I would want this information embedded in the binary file, especially when it precludes other formats such as MP3. My leanings are more towards writing an extension to RSS 2.0. This post has prompted me to blog what I have been thinking over here: http://phaselden.blogspot.com/
