Apple Adds Option to Manually Manage Music and Videos for iPhone and iPod touch
With iTunes 7.6 and iPhone Software 1.1.3, Apple is bringing back the option to manually manage music and videos. Once you enable the option; you have to manually manage all music, movies and ringtones.
This option should also be available for iPod touch, unfortunately, I don’t have one to verify this.
Lyrics Support in iPhone’s iPod
iPhone Software 1.1.3 also brings lyrics support in iPod. Presumably this options is also available in iPod touch running software version 1.1.3.
When playing audio file in iPod mode, tap the screen to reveal the song lyrics. Providing that the lyrics is embedded in the file.
Adding lyrics to your music file:
- In iTunes, select the track.
- “Get info” on the track. Command-I (Mac OS X) or Control-I (Windows). Also can be invoked through “File > Get Info”.
- Select the “Lyrics” tab.
- Type or paste the lyrics in the box.
- Click “OK”
One thing still missing from the iPod feature of the iPhone (and the iPod touch) is the ability to view podcast notes.
iPhone Software 1.1.3 is Now Available
iPhone Software 1.1.3 is now available through iTunes. it weighs in at 162.1 MB.

Canon HG10 AVCHD Camcorder – Another Video Sample
Thanks to my friend I get to use the Canon HG10 AVCHD 40GB High Definition Camcorder and write about it. I posted a short video clip from this camera a few days ago. The first clip doesn’t really represent the quality of the video captured by this camera, since I show mostly “Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory” on the LCD screen. I’ll post the review for this camcorder in the near future.
Check out another video clip taken using Canon HG10 AVCHD 40GB High Definition Camcorder here.
- 22.1MB
- Encoded in H.264
- 960×540
- 29.97fps
- Auto setting in camera
- The game in the clip is “Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory”
Notes:
- The cat in the video clip is Meatloaf T. Cat (a.k.a Meat Loaf T. Cat), and can be seen here.
- He can also be seen here. (Google Images)
