New webapp SonicSwap hosts your iTunes playlists on the web and streams the music in them free and legally without requiring you to perform tedious file uploads or use any of your computer's upload bandwidth. Unlike previously mentioned Anywhere.fm, SonicSwap doesn't host your gigabytes of music files—you just give it your current iTunes playlists, and it pulls the tracks and videos named in them from YouTube, and recreates them in a drag-and-drop web-based version of iTunes. Sign up for a free SonicSwap account, upload your iTunes playlists either via the web site or using an iTunes plug-in, and you can listen to and share your library's playlists (including Smart Playlists) at SonicSwap, which includes video playback of the YouTube clip. Here's a full screenshot what it looks like.

Here's a direct link to this playlist at SonicSwap so you can try it out.
In my tests, the Java applet that you upload your iTunes Library.xml file with failed, but the iTunes plug-in is an alternative method. Here's a video from the SonicSwap folks that explains how the app works.

Once you've uploaded your library, you can make it public, add friends, find other playlists, and even download others' playlists to your current library on your computer. TechCrunch reports that because of the YouTube API, occasionally you'll get a bum song (like a karoake version), but my cruise through other users' playlists yielded good results.

Since the launch of YouTube’s API and the release of Seeqpod, we’ve seen many sites emerge that allow users to create playlists of their favorite songs that can be streamed free of charge. Unfortunately, this can be a tedious task - oftentimes users are forced to recreate the playlists they already have in iTunes because the sites lack an upload function. SonicSwap, a startup that launched this week, has addressed this issue by creating a free streaming music site that can monitor a user’s iTunes music library, adjusting playlists in real time and effectively giving users access to their entire iTunes library from any computer.

The site features an interface that is nearly identical to iTunes (CEO Dan Skilken says that his artists redrew the familiar icons, but it’s tough to tell). Users can access their playlists on the left side of the screen and the main panel on right has a list of songs, with the video/music player controls at the top. The site pulls audio and video through the YouTube API, and while it comes up with a few false matches (playing back bad cover versions or karaoke), in general it is speedy and accurate.

To use the use the dynamically updating feature, users download a SonicSwap plugin that is available for both Mac and Windows. The plugin monitors songs that are currently playing as well as changes in iTunes playlists (including Smart Playlists), and frequently updates the user profile on the site. If you’re not comfortable installing a plugin, you can also upload your iTunes Music Library.XML file, but you’ll have to manaully do this each time you want to sync your SonicSwap library with iTunes.

Users can make their profiles public, so anyone can access their music library, or they can restrict it to only friends (or just to themselves). And in the next few weeks the site will roll out a widget that allows users to embed entire library and playlists as widgets into their blogs and social networks. The site generates revenue by driving traffic to iTunes and Amazon’s online stores.

For those that aren’t interested in uploading their playlists - with a plugin or otherwise- SonicShare is still worth checking out. It has a very well done interface, and seems to work just as well as its competitors, which include Songza, Favtape, and Streamzy. Another site that focuses on playlists is UPlayMe, which has created a playlist-centric social network.

Inkscape's nice, because it has a bunch of preset color palettes. I decided to use Tango colors. So I made a background image 1024x768 to be the right proportions. Saved the .svg and tried to set it as the background on my slides. Now, I've done this once before, so I knew it was convoluted and that rather than wasting my time trying to figure out how to do it again, I ought to just read the Help.

This becomes extra annoying when you start tweaking the background image and want to see how it fits. Every time you tweak, you have to delete the old one, import the new one, and then change it in the Page formatting again. There are too many steps involved, and none of the early ones are anything close to obvious! I gave up on the tweak, import, set, tweak, import, set, tweak, import, set thing after about 6 rounds. I decided to fake it with text box borders and fill and such./p pSo next I wanted to make my text and bullets be the right colors. I still wanted Tango colors. I even found the hex/HTML-style codes for the colors. So I go to the Styles thing, choose Outline 1, right click, and hit Modify. So far so good. I hit the Customize Tab on the window that opens, and there's no way at all visible to set a color other than their 30-or-so pre-defined ones. Bummer. After a bit of time reading Google, I learned that going to Tools - Options, expanding OpenOffice.org, and going to Colors lets you define your own. Great! Oh, but you have to get out your calculator and convert all that hex to decimal. And they have to be added one at a time. And if you're not careful you'll overwrite one of their pre-defined ones. And if you hit Cancel it still commits the changes. This is the part where you give your screen the evil eye./p pScrew that.

Nobody at Sun has heard of newlines, it seems, so their XML is all one line. Oh, no wait, they use two lines. The first is to say that this is an XML file. It is now 110 lines long. I used vim, but you can use whatever text editor you want. Add in XML lines defining the colors you want using the nice simple hex format we're all used to using to define colors. Save it, start OpenOffice.org back up, and yay, you have all those colors you wanted. It took about 2 minutes. Adding one at a time and converting the hex to decimal, it probably would've taken 30 minutes./p pYay, now I have colors. I've got to be past the annoying part now, right? Nope, not that lucky. I wanted my bullets to all be Tango Sky Blue 2, so I pulled up the Style thing and told it that. As expected, all the bullets changed color to Tango Sky Blue 2. Oh, um, except the bullets on the slide that was in view when I used the Style tool. That one didn't change. Still have to do that manually./p pI decided I didn't like the indenting on the bullets. I didn't want the first level to be indented at all, but I did want there to be some space between the bullet and the text. So I open up the Style thing again, go to Outline 1hellip;and those options aren't there. Just to be sure, I checked what happens when I highlight a bulleted list and go to Format - Bullets and Numbering. The options do exist. I just can't use them in bulk. So I went through every single slide setting the indenting and spacing on bullets. I had to highlight the bulleted lists manually too to do this because you see, Ctrl+A to Select All doesn't actually Select All. It opens up a file chooser instead./p pI wanted to fake the effect I was trying to get in Inkscape, so I decided to make the title textboxes full width and set a border on them. I wanted it to have a one-shade-darker border, just like in Tango icons. The border, however, would expand past the edge of the slide in different amounts in each direction. No even borders for you!/p pAlso, opening an .odp does emnot/em display nice user-editable XML, which I was under the impression is how ODF was supposed to be implemented. I was ready to give up quite a while back and just edit the file's XML directly. Well that isn't very possible, it seems./p pI found one nice thing in OpenOffice.org Impress. There's a Color Bar in View - Toolbars that adds a palette of all defined colors below your slide so you can select a textbox and click it to set the fill background./pdiv class=blogger-post-footerFrom http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com p--br / My 5 today: #280285 (firefox), #280497 (clutch), #280466 (ubuntu), #278252 (firefox-3.0), #274010 (flashplugin-nonfree) br / Do 5 a day - every day! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day/p/div

tdalek writes "You may remember the recent Slashdot article about Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop exposing authentication information. It turns out that more that other Yahoo! applications are affected, although to a lesser degree. With Yahoo!'s desktop program, it transmitted the usernames and passwords in plaintext. Yahoo! is one of the lucky few default e-mail providers on the iPhone; sadly it looks like Apple didn't insist on encryption from Yahoo! On the iPhone, authentication is encrypted, but you can see all the messages sent and received in plaintext. Incoming messages are downloaded in plaintext over the standard imap port. Outgoing mail is a bit harder to find, it is apparently sent by an HTTP post request wrapped up inside a bundle of XML, but security through obscurity isn't very effective. If you have Yahoo! mail on your iPhone (and since its one of the default accounts, I'm assuming quite a few do), now would be a good time to forward it elsewhere for the time being, and using that account instead."
