TidBITS#872/26-Mar-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/872>

  This week we're featuring audio and video, music and TV. First, Adam
  reviews SpotDJ, a new Web-enabled service that puts the DJ back into
  iTunes with short audio spots that you hear after appropriate songs
  play in iTunes or on your iPod. Then, Jeff offers his initial
  impressions of the just-shipped Apple TV after a popcorn-fueled
  "testing" session. But we didn't spend the entire week goofing off,
  as Glenn looks at Other World Computing's 3 GB memory kit to max out
  the RAM on certain Macs along with how it might impact performance.
  Adam also examines Chax, a free utility that gives iChat a tabbed
  interface and a plethora of useful configuration options. In the
  news, we cover the release of SpamSieve 2.6 and how to get MacTech's
  VBA-to-AppleScript transition guide for Microsoft Office users.
