iPod beta!

I was looking through one of my old MacWorld Magazines, and I found this screenshot. It is from the OS X beta. What happened to this cool thing? Did iTunes replace it? and read the description... kinda freaky. sounds like MacWorld somehow knew the iPod was coming.... they just did not know it yet

Yes, that's Music Player, our only option for native OS X audio playback for a while. It did MP3s, WAV, AIFF, and CDs. I have it, but it doesn't run under OS X 10.1.x.

iTunes replaced it, although it was still a neat little app.

I'm guessing that's what the iPod was originally going to look like, I'm sure they had ideas about the iPod back then... I never thought of linking the icon to a real device, though. Good catch

Note: see my user icon

btw.. here's the console.log error it generates when it launches and dies:

Launch failed with error code -2857

So, any big code-guys wanna edit the Music Player to work with 10.1.x so I can try? I'd do it myself, but unfortunately I don't know squat about programming

YEAH! I would love to have that app. I do not need all of the options that are in iTunes anyway.. I never use the visual stuff. I just want a small, easy to use app that plays MP3s. I WANT THAT.!

I would love a copy of that!

It'd be great to have as an alternative to iTunes.. I wonder if Apple purpously broke it in later Mac OS X releases. Anybody know what a -2857 is and how to fix it?

That would be a cool little app to have. It also looks really neat.
