Our final holiday MacJury delivered great gift picks to give or get, ranging from the inexpensive to the expensive, expected to unexpected, and all points in between.

Please see the show notes for complete details to avoid interruption of your audio and video subscriptions. To summarize, MacNotables and The MacJury are now officially folded into MacVoices, and their RSS feeds discontinued.

The prior MacVoicesTV feed will now be titled MacVoices Video. Hopefully the transition through iTunes will be seamless, but if not, the main video feed is listed below. All three of those sites will remain intact but frozen, so that links to the legacy shows can be preserved. Going forward, there will be three MacVoices feeds. To avoid interruption of our shows, please manually subscribe in iTunes or your favorite podcatcher: Audio:http://www.macvoices.com/rss/macvoicesrss  Video:http://www.macvoices.com/rss/macvoicesvideorss  Video (HD version)http://www.macvoices.com/rss/macvoiceshdvideo  If you prefer YouTube, you can subscribe to the MacVoices channel there: http://YouTube.com/MacVoicesTV If you have any problems or issues, please feel free to contact me.

Jim Dalrymple is back to look at the stories of 2013 that will have lasting effects on the tech world. Apple, Microsoft, Blackberry and Yahoo are on the agenda…what they have done right, wrong, and what we can expect from them based on those decisions. Jim’s observations, made with his usual flair and humor, help us with the long-term view of the industry…something that gets far too little attention.

Macworld Senior Editor Christopher Breen goes with us on a deep dive into the subject of music. The discussion starts with music curation – automatic with Pandora, more human-based with iTunes Radio. Chris explains why he feels one is, at least for now, superior to the other, and why. From there, music distribution and appreciation, streaming vs. owning, Sonos and more all get thrown in the mix, along with a review of the online music services, and why Chris picks one over the rest.

Ted Landau updates us on his Macworld article on the Mac Pro, and the widespread attention and response it received.

Adam and Tonya Engst unveiled their first Take Control book ten years ago, in a world that was barely getting used to the idea of ebooks. Today, Take Control has influenced the way ebooks are created, and the standards to which they are held. In a bonus-length interview, Adam and Tonya talk about the origins of the Take Control series, why “series” is such an important concept, and why they take their craft so seriously. Why “Take Control” and not some other series title? How has the production process evolved over time and why? Which book really needs some extra attention from readers? All that and more in this passionate and fun discussion.
