Xbox Music update adds volume control, cloud syncing and performance boost

DNP Xbox Music update adds volume control,


Several Windows 8 apps, including Calendar, Mail and People, received updates just yesterday, and today Microsoft's Xbox Music is getting a refresh of its own. The music app's update brings both performance improvements to Windows RT devices and some new functionality. Among the new features is a volume control that sets the app's volume independent of the system's volume. The update also brings the ability to automatically sync your music collection to the cloud and add songs from your collection to other devices running Xbox music. Finally, as you can see in the screen grab above, there's a new playing UI that displays all tracks from an album in addition to the song currently playing. You can check out the update yourself by clicking through to the Windows Store via the source link.

Have You Noticed A Change In Your Commercials' Obnoxious Volume?

Have You Noticed A Change In Your Commercials' Obnoxious Volume?Finally, after being in the works for about a year, the FCC has enacted a ban on unbearably loud television ads. You know, ads like this, or even this.

While the FCC actually adopted the law, called the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act, about a year ago, cable and satellite providers have had the time since to update their technology before making a full transition. The FCC plans to monitor stations' compliance using consumer complaints.

Even though the ban was officially instated yesterday, a few smaller stations have been granted an extension. For the most part, though, broadcasters are (supposedly) already following the rules. Have you noticed any difference in television commercials? And were you even bothered before? [NY Daily News]
