Updated: Lossless to AAC Workflow

I've included a second script to the Lossless to AAC Workflow package. While the original script allowed you to import CD tracks as Apple Lossless and send AAC copies to iPod, the new second script lets you select iTunes tracks you have already encoded as Apple Lossless and send AAC copies to iPod. Each script removes the AAC tracks from iTunes and deletes their files. This will let you keep archived Apple Lossless files on your hard drive and send the more manageable AACs to the iPod.
[Via Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes]

Bravo!

The Dual Disc Format
This is interesting. I've been reading up on Dual Disc and it's clear that they are avoiding referring to DVD-Audio. It's as though they are launching a whole new format and side-stepping the DVD-A vs SACD battle. What they emphasize is compatibility. It plays in your CD player. It plays in your DVD player. And it goes far beyond the content capabilities of the old CD.

DualDisc to be Launched in Europe This Spring
The launch of DualDisc in Europe was announced today during news briefings at Dolby's London headquarters by Los Angeles based music company, 5.1 Entertainment Group and their Chairman, John Trickett. The announcement marks the first ever release of DualDisc outside of the United States.
[Via DVD-Audio and SACD News]
Another article at the site pegs 4 March as the date. This is significant news because SACD is much further along in Europe.

Flu shots miss new strain
For the second year in a row, Canadians who received a flu shot may fall sick anyway because the vaccine doesn't match the strains circulating around the world.

Yup. It's pretty poor PR for the flu shot campaign. Why bother?
