#MICROSOFT PLAYER MAC#

A typical Mac enthusiast is not going to buy a device that is so restricted. The truth is that the Cube, for all its aesthetic appeal, lacks memory, expansion (other than by means of the surface cracks reported in some Cubes), and indeed any reason to exist other than to look nice on an executive's desk.

Trouble is, so is every notebook computer as well -and they're a lot more useful. The G4 Cube is a thing of staggering beauty and it's a miracle of miniaturisation. Their biggest problem now is that Wall Street thinks they make desk ornaments. But the clock‑speed issue is just an irritation for Apple. I've no doubt that Motorola have faster chips in the pipeline (and faster pipelines in the chips!) but I would guess that G4s are a minor part of their business plan compared to their mobile phone products. So, on paper, the G4 seems to run at about half the speed of an Intel (dum Dum dum DUM!) Pentium III or AMD Athlon. The state of popular technical culture (as typified by Leonard Nimoy in the Time adverts and that Nice Lady In The Dress in the AOL commercials) is such that clock speed is perceived to be the absolute determinant of the processing power of a computer. If you know about processors then you know that clock speed isn't a very good indicator of the power of a chip anymore - especially with the G4 series. Part of the problem is that the G4 chips in current Macs, which are undoubtedly very powerful, don't have high clock‑speeds. So what's going wrong? Looks Aren't EverythingĪpple's G4 Cube - aesthetic appeal, but what about usability? That doesn't stop me wanting one though, and I take no pleasure in seeing Apple's shares halve in value on the excessively volatile tech‑stock market. I haven't got one at the moment because the work I do dictates that I use PCs, and I can't justify the expense of owning yet another computer. This month Dave Shapton questions Apple's corporate strategy and speculates on the possible implications behind Microsoft's desire to have their Media Player running on as many platforms as possible.

Microsoft officials explained that the original Groove Music has been removed from the operating system and users will find their Groove library and playlists in this new Media Player.Ī Microsoft Store update replaces the Groove Music with a new Media Player, so you don’t have to manually install a new app. Microsoft will automatically migrate your music collection to Media Player from Groove Music.

For now, you can play music or video, and quickly browse the playlist, as well as create and manage playlists or configure the app to scan for media contents in a folder of your choice.
