At least for me.

Up to 192khz audio, provided you have the right equipment, and, I 
assume, depending on the source format of the recording - hence, 
significantly better than a CD.

Issue with Playlists on Music

2021-06-20 Thread Brandon Olivares
I’m having an issue in the Music app on my MacBook Pro. A lot of my songs are 
not appearing on my computer, though they show up on my phone. They were added 
to my library from Apple Music.

I thought maybe it was an issue with the network, as I was just on vacation. 
But I just got home and so am now on my home network and it’s still not 
updating.

It’s causing one of my playlists to not show up at all, and I can’t figure out 
how to resolve it.

Also sometimes when I’m looking through my lists of playlists, I get this error:

Genius results can’t be updated right now. An internal server error occurred.

Any idea what’s going on here?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Issue with Playlists on Music

2021-06-20 Thread 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries
Hi,

It sounds like there’s a authentication conflict of sorts.  I suggest that you 
sign out of Apple Music on your Mac, then quit Music, restart your Mac, then 
sign back in again.  After signing in, make sure that the checkbox in Music 
Preferences, General, related to syncing your library is checked.  I probably 
might be worth a check in System Preferences, Apple ID to see if there are any 
waiting tasks for you.

Later…

Re: Xcode accessibility and best MacBook for coding?

2021-06-20 Thread Yuma Decaux
Hey all,

Just kicking in my long experience with swift (I started in 2015).

X-code is fully accessible and creating IB outlets or references etc have been 
so since probably 2016. It just took a bit more time to create them with voice 
over, however they are intentionally there to allow your co-worker to quickly 
see the prototyped interface frames and view controllers, and set parameters 
for the standard UI controls. Writing in code is great, however sometimes ops 
are those who design more than they code, so I believe it is better to write 
using an interface that allows other portions of the team to use xcode with. 
Such instances are useful for SceneKit or SpriteKit, particle systems, 3D 
objects, or a mix of both standard UI and custom 3D Ui objects.

Swift as a language has been chosen as part of the most popular ones besides 
java and python because of its syntax and ability to adopt c code within its 
code blocks. it's also a functional language so mathematically it is very 
useful and readable.


If you want to dabble straight into SceneKit's 3D audio system, I'll refer you 
to my podcast list which also have code snippets to do intermediate and 
advanced 3D audio stuff. You can find them in the lab section of my website at
> https://www.oseyeris.com/the-lab

Swift is also becoming the favorite language for machine learning, and has its 
own tensorflow package. All we need to wait for are the m-2 and beyond chips on 
which tf will provide parallel computing, and swift will be more useful than it 
already is.

Cheers,

Yuma

What I do is find the link of the station I want, and in most cases I can copy 
the link, paste it in Text Edit, save it as M3u and play it through VLC. It's 
right there in the folder I want and works like a charm!
