Yes. iTunes also has its own database, and exports that to .xml for other apps to use, but the tags are put in the file header for compatible file formats (.mp3, .aac, etc).

Not that I know of, I was wondering if that functionality was what Kush was looking for, since iTunes already did id3 tagging.

there are some 3rd party apps that can do that for you. may have to google it, but yea.
Is their a user-friendly app to manage audio and subtitle tracks of videos (of any file type)? Currently, I would only like to set the default audio track, but adding/removing tracks would certainly be useful sometime.
I hope I don't have to convert all my videos using Handbrake or something?

For anyone looking for a different podcast solution than iTunes, the Instacast for Mac beta released today. I messed around with it for a bit and it seems pretty well done.

I have Coda 2 - it's a great html/css/javascript/php ide. It has some code completion, is quite snappy, etc.
The preview window is quite good also and really shows how a site will look in a real browser.
It allows you to create a 'site', tell it the site's remote server (supports FTP, SFTP, WebDAV and Amazon S3), tell it the local file system location, etc. You also can setup version control for the site and the database connection to get some more functionality out of Coda 2.
All that being said, in the end Coda 2 is still just a glorified text editor with some added features built in to make web development/deployment easier. I still find myself tending to use the TextMate 2 alpha version more often then Coda 2. I think TextMate 2 is probably my favorite text editor currently on OS X.
I use Coda2 and love it, but if the price is a factor you may want to check out CodeKit, it is only $25.

And actually both Coda 2 and CodeKit have demos available so give them both a shot and see which you like.

Great thanks for all the feedback guys! I will try out the demos soon once I get into the swing of things and make a decision then!

I already own 3.x. I got it from a MacUpdate bundle 2 years ago. Which basically means I have to pay full price for 4. Just to get iCloud support. Maybe a deal will come along for 4 in a year or so.1Password is 50% off for a limited time. Just $25 now for both the MAS and website version.

Does the MAS version have any drawbacks due to being sandboxed? I avoid the MAS whenever I can if I know there's a limitation because of that stupid system.

I think the only limitation is that if you use Dropbox to sync your passwords that you have can only store the pw file in the default Dropbox location instead of storing it in a custom folder. I'm not sure I explained that well.

Yeah, that's what I do. They're pretty much universal. Even Chrome uses the same ones.

Anyone else have problems with Better Touch Tool randomly not working? I have it set to start up with computer but sometimes it
1. Doesn't start up
2. Starts up but doesn't function (i.e. I can open the BTT app but none of my gestures will work) so I have to quit then re-open it
3. Starts up but doesn't function AND quitting/restarting app doesn't work (I will have to restart computer in this case).

Does anyone know of a good bookmark manager?
I'm starting to get annoyed with my bookmark situation, so I'm thinking a full app might be able to fix it. Currently it's just a mess of a "temp" folder, Evernote, and a bunch of tabs open that I don't touch for weeks.
Chrome integration will be nice, but I'm open to anything. Really just looking for a graceful solution.

I actually used it some time ago for the multi-browser sync, but fell out of it quickly. My bookmarks just got even messier.
For now I'm basically delegating to 100% Evernote bookmarking, which hurts. Delish looks nice but it's wayyyyy too expensive for what it is.
If anyone is looking for a good free Twitter app with advanced features like mute lists etc, the current version of YoruFukurou (Night Owl) is very nifty. A lot of features and customization options and from my time with it the best free alternative I have used so far.
Took me a bit to realize that changing font size was tied to the default system shortcut (cmd+ and cmd-), and at first it went over my head that Growl notifications would directly use Notification Center if Growl is unavailable, but it's all good now.

Better Rename 9, also known as A Better Finder Rename 9 is currently 95% off on the Mac App Store ($0.99 instead of $19.99).

That's a fantastic price. I have Name Mangler already, but anyone who has cursed and sworn at having to rename a bunch of files to fit a new, different pattern and not wanted to write a shell script should look into it.

Man, Airmail is the best dedicated e-mail client I've ever used. I didn't even like Mail, Sparrow, Mailplane or Unibox, but Airmail works. It has just the right amount of features vs. clarity and actually looks like what an OS X app should look like in 2014. Bye bye, in-browser Gmail interface.

Interesting. Does this use/sync gmail tags, or are the tags just used within this program?
My main issue with Mailbox is that it does not use gmail's tags, it makes it's own. Have they changed that?

Yes. I use two Gmail accounts (one with my real name and one without) and everything syncs perfectly.

Once Google bought Sparrow It was time to find a new email client and Airmail is by far the best one out there. I've been using it for months now. I am running into some minor bugs, but they come out with new versions quick enough and there is the beta branch as well.Man, Airmail is the best dedicated e-mail client I've ever used.

I also use Readkit but since I'm always reading stuff on my browser (Chrome or Firefox) and I have limited screen space I often find it more convenient to just open my Feedly bookmark. Too bad because Readkit is actually well-made.
Doesn't matter because Parallels finds an excuse to charge for each new update every year.
Besides I prefer VMware because it doesn't fuck up your machine
Parallels Desktop for Mac licensing policy said:
http://kb.parallels.com/en/112971
They explicitly confirm in their support forum that one can indeed transfer a license to another Mac, if Parallels is uninstalled (and deactivated) on the old Mac: 1, 2

Of course it is. You'll be fine transferring. I never uninstall the old one anyway. (I always set up a new machine by restoring from a clone of my old one anyway.) While they ask you to uninstall from the old machine first, I don't think there's any sort of check in place at all. I've had it installed on two machines at once and had no problems.
Citation needed. Parallels is amazing.
If anyone is looking for a good image editor Acorn is on sale for $15 (usually $50). I prefer it to Pixelmator myself.
