If you wish to skip to the end of the ‘song’ the information will be available after the break.
On this day of Christmas O2 sent to me,
A text with an offer that’s free.
On this day of Christmas iTunes sent to me,
A gift of a song for my tree.
On this day of Christmas you may be asking me,
How too can I join the Glee.
On this day of Christmas I will let you know,
You first have to be quick and not slow.
On this day of Christmas there’s an offer for you,
Where to find it? Here’s a clue.
On this day of Christmas I send you the link
And regret the rhyme which truly does stink.

Disney always tells you to “Wish upon a star” to make your dreams come true. While I Love Stars from The Potion Factory won’t make dreams come true, It definitely solved a problem that I had.

I Love Stars is a Menubar app that displays clearly your rating of the current iTunes song. By simply clicking on a star you can change the rating of a song. If you hate to have unrated songs in your library (like yours truly) you can have it flash and play a sound when an unrated song is played.
A great feature of I Love Stars is the fact that it is so discrete. When you aren’t playing a song it hides and you can also make it disappear when unrateable things (podcasts, streams etc.) are playing. To operate it you can either click on the stars or use keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl-Cmd-star rating).
I Love Stars is a great little app that does one thing but does it well. You can get it for free today from The Potion Factory

This week’s panel : Stu Helm, Michael King, Ben Grubb, Lewis King, Victor Cajiao and Scott Nicol
After Apple’s ‘Let’s Rock’ event the IMP team and very special guest Victor Cajiao from the Typical Mac User Podcast, found at www.typicalmacuser.com, discuss the updates to iTunes and the iPods.
We let Lewis King lose on his rant about the iPod Nano and iPod Touch software, Victor reveals his longings to buy an iPod Nano right now, and Michael King tells us he has bought yet another iPod Touch!
Thanks to everyone who joined us in the chat room, which you can join to by visiting www.ustream.tv/channel/imp-live when we’re recording, remember to follow impodcast on Twitter (www.twitter.com/impodcast) for show updates etc.
Finally just a word about our iTunes / RSS feeds, we’re not 100% sure why this happens, but the ‘All Shows’ feed doesn’t give correct show information wherease the ‘IMP Live’ feed does. We’re trying to get this fixed, we’re really hoping it’s not a bug with the BTPodShow API and Ubercaster, but we’d ask you to please keep subscribed to ‘All Shows’ as this is the place where any IMP show will appear, not just IMP Live.
Thanks once again,

RealNetworks said Monday it’s switching gears in its quest for a larger slice of the legal music download market with the launch a DRM-free a la carte MP3 store that will cater to iPod owners directly rather than through unauthorized hacks of the past.
This move represents a new direction for this Seattle based firm. This online music company has been built around subscription based services. This offers subscribers temporary access to an unlimited number of copy-protected songs each month for a set price. (more…)
