Hey all,

Need some quick help testing something.

At Topspin we are testing ways to help you get music directly into iTunes without needing to install a cumbersome application.

Download this zip file to help us test one way:

PLEASE NOTE: This is beta software — USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I don’t think it will break anything but that’s the point, I need your help testing what it does on your system.

ALSO NOTE: This will add the Get Busy Committee sampler to your iTunes. This is not a marketing ploy, I’m just using content I don’t have to ask anyone for the rights to. Feel free to delete the files from your iTunes after if you’re not into it.

Download the zip, unzip the package, then run the appropriate application (there’s one for Mac and one for Windows). It should automagically add the tracks to iTunes for you.

Please help test especially if you have a Windows machine. I don’t have one to test on these days.

Just leave bugs and feedback in the comments here and I’ll pick it up. I won’t necessarily approve those comments, but I’ll see it.

Please leave feedback if it works OR if you find bugs. If it works well, we need to know that, too.

One known issue on my end is the doubling of the “Your files have been successfully added to iTunes” text. That’s getting fixed.

Another known issue: this app will add anything in the child directories to iTunes. So if you take this out of the directory it was unzipped into, it won’t behave correctly. We are going to add a check for that.

This is just one of a couple of approaches we’re testing. Your feedback is appreciated. We don’t have every flavor of Mac OS X and Windows in the office to test on so we appreciate your helping test on your box.

Thanks!
