Polytune iPhone app temporarily for free!

[kboman]

tc electronic are letting the first 25 000 downloads of their Polytune app go for free. I've tried it on my "wall decoration" guitar with ancient strings and it seems to work as advertised. I was not convinced when I heard of this Polytune thing as they started making noise about it, but so far so good.

The link: http://itunes.apple.com/app/polytune/id364009203?mt=8

(all my regular guitars are unstrung at the mo and that guitar needs lots of money to become a fully usable instrument of music again, thus its decorative state)

Very cool.
I just put it on my iPhone.

I'll have to check it against my DTR-1000 later to see how accurate the tuning is. :blob7:

 

[ptirman]

Thanks for this heads up. Looks cool. Going to try it in a few.

I love my iPhone as well, but Apple pissed me off not too long ago.  I had bought a 160gb iPod and at the 18 mo. mark, it totally crapped out.  24,000 tracks gone to shit as the iPod was larger then my computer's harddrive, so I couldnt back it up there and Apple does not allow you to backup to an external drive without using a third party software, I was SOL.  I asked them if I bought a new one at full price, can they grab the data and move it for me? They said no.  Pricks.  I finally found some software that extracted the data, but it came song by song in mp3 format onto an external drive.  So now I have to reinstall all my data, but at least I can put it back on album by album, but its a slow process.

As not to hijack the thread too much, I did download the Polytune app for free and it looks pretty cool.

Same thing happened with my wifes old ipod, and a friend of mine.

I'm probably missing something, but how did you get the music on the iPod to begin with?

You download it from the computer, but once its there its almost impossible to get them back to a computer if the ijunk crashes....

How can you have more music on the iPod than the computer?
Unless you are deleting your songs on the computer after transferring them or something?

 

[mmarino92]

Use Floola! :icon_biggrin:
Also, you can add music from several computers, all maxed out? Whatevs, my 500GB harddrive has wayyy more music than my 120 GB iPod could ever hold :laughing7:

My wife didn't as many songs as la did on hers, but she had close to 4000. But that what she did, was delete the songs from her pc after she put them on the pod. What put me out with apple was itunes, I had put a bunch of music and several recorded tracks on an older version of itunes. And it converted them to .aac format, and I couldn't get them back to mp3's, I was able to find a converter to change them back,but the recorded tracks I had didn't survive thru the conversion and became corupt. So apple can kiss my ass......

Dammit, I need an iPhone.

No, what you need is a Droid. It's everything the iPhone is, plus some. It's iPhone++. Not that the iPhone is Bad Thing; it's not. It's a wonderful thing. But, you're not only stuck with Apple and all their silliness, you're stuck with AT&T as well, which is NFG. Everybody who's in that business has been trying to one-up the iPhone ever since its introduction, but nobody's been able to do it until now.

Photo from my iphone: probably should be another thread - apologies.
Photo quality is pretty good on the iphone. This is the Columbia river today. Been raining like hell. Those trees sticking out of the water are usually a good 30 yards from the beach which is completely submerged. May have to evacuate if this keeps up.

Meh, photo quality is decent.

Here is a picture I took on Christmas afternoon of the beach below Donald Trump's golf course, which I edited a bit to look better:

And here is an unedited picture I took two weeks ago of a wave crashing over a rock at the beach below my house.

Wow. Much better quality from your iphone. So. Cal?

 

[line6man]

Yep.

Come to think of it, I looked through all my iPhone pictures, and it seems that outdoor shots look pretty good, it's just the indoor shots that look grainy and over/under exposed.
