MUD has a solution to Apple’s removal of album artwork cover in Playlists

I have previously posted about how Apple removed Album Artwork from it’s playlist creation (it used to add 4 album covers) and you have to manually add it, but this post from MUD or Make Use Of has a solution that is an improvement on the album artwork.

This is the shortcut the Playlist Cover Art Generator, which you can customize to show 4 to 47 covers and have text as well. You have to allow private scripts and large datasets, but it works fast and well.

Here is one I created for my 1971-1972 playlist.

PVC on a new extension that makes iXML metadata work in Adobe Premiere Pro

A new extension finally makes iXML metadata useful in Adobe Premiere Pro

OMG, why hasn’t Adobe added this functionality if it can be so well added as an extension (though it should automatically show up as it does in DaVinci). iXML Renamer is awesome and should literally not be necessary, but it is, so pay a little and install it now!

It will let you append the iXML data from your mixer into the track and clip names, which is what DaVinci does by default, and Adobe hides away in a panel that makes it all but useless.

Of course every editor would like to know what each track from the Audio Mixer is! WTF ADOBE!!!

The Verge on the top five RSS Readers for keeping up with news feeds

From Barbara Krasnoff at The Verge. I have covered RSS in the past, as it is how I prefer to get my news, though it has receded since Google gave up on it’s RSS reader after dominating so much that there was really no competition.

Personally I just use Feedly at this point, it works as well as Google every did, and it’s apps are good to. And I got in on the ground floor so I have a lifetime subscription (upgraded to use AI). Even with a subscription though it would be worth it, as it is much more targeted than say Apple News, which currates for you, and I want my news from the sites that I want it from.
