GigBaby/GigDaddy Sharing Utility for Windows PC
This utility will allow you to exchange GigBaby audio files with your
desktop. This is intended to be a temporary solution until the fully
featured GigBaby! Sharing Utility is available.
-
This is a preliminary release. Some features have been disabled.
-
You must have Bonjour already installed on your PC. If you are using iTunes then
Bonjour is probably already installed. Otherwise you can download and install Bonjour
from Apple's website: Bonjour 1.0.5
-
This software is beta (still in test). Be sure to back up all your data before
using the utility.
-
The utility includes an open-source program (sndfilelib) to convert
CAF files to formats compatible with DAW software. This software may introduce artifacts
into the audio files. This issue is under investigation.
-
There is no installer. You can simply unzip the files into a new directory.
Here are the steps:
-
Open the zip file that you downloaded (GigBabySharingUtilityWin.zip).
-
Open explorer and find a place to Create a New Folder. Or, right click on
the desktop to Create a New Folder.
-
Name the folder anything you like. GigBaby is a good option.
-
Drag the contents of the zip file into the New Folder.
-
That's it. Your install is complete.
-
Double click on GigBabySharingUtilityWin.exe to run
-
If you like you can create shortcuts by dragging the exe onto your taskbar or desktop.
Beta version 0.7 of the Sharing Utility for Windows has the following
limitations:
-
You must initiate the connection from the iPod or iPhone. (Cannot select device from the device list)
These limitations will be lifted in subsequent releases.
