I had a quick review of iTunes Match and it appeared that not all my music was matched. More surprisingly, well know music ripped from Audio CD.
I decided to rerun the process with only a small bunch of music to see if this can be solved. I cleaned the iTunes local library, iCloud storage and disabled iTunes Match. Then imported the music, enabled iTunes Match and checked what happens.Continue reading...
Yesterday, I read (again) about iTunes Match. I already knew about that service but felt like it was useless to me. Read more about iTunes Match on it’s official Webpage .

Here’s how I did it.Continue reading...
I find my MacBook Pro mid-2009 quite slow when rendering my personal H.264. I would like to see if the Sandy Bridge Core i5 2500T in my hypervisor does a better job. So I installed Mac OS X Lion as a virtual machine on my ESXi v5.
I’m not sure about licensing… Purchasing Lion for App Store for your Mac, you seem to have the right to install it on every Mac you own… My Hypervisor is not a Mac… But I bought Lion… Anyway, here’s a simple way to install Mac OS X Lion in ESXi 5.Continue reading...
