In the final part of our recent MacVoices Live! conversation, the panel takes a hard left turn to discuss Apple's cancellation of the HomePod. The panel of Kelly Guimont, David Ginsburg, Jeff Gamet, Frank Petrie, Jim Rea, Guy Serle, and Andrew Orr evaluate the HomePod and its competitors and speculate on successors. The discussion then transitioned to why all smart speakers are not created equal, Some examples of which ones do what well, a key point in the never-ending debate over Siri and Alexa, and something that Google's device does particularly well wrap things up. This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of world-class software like PDFpen, PDFpen Pro, and TextExpander. Find out more at TextExpander.com/podcast and SmileSoftware.com/podcast. Show Notes: Guests: Kelly Guimont is a longtime Apple geek, sitting down (on a telephone book) in front of an Apple IIe in 1983. She can still hear the ticking of the ImageWriter. Thanks to the miracle of the adjustable leg desk, she no longer needs the phonebook. Kelly writes for The Mac Observer, is the host of the Daily Observations Podcast, is co-host of The Aftershow, and yet still has more to say which she saves for Twitter and Micro.blog. David Ginsburg is the President of the Suburban Chicago Apple Users Group, and is an IT professional supporting Mac, iOS and Windows users. Find and follow him on Twitter as @daveg65. You can also hear him share his knowledge on his podcast, In Touch With iOS. Jeff Gamet is the author of Fresh Brewed Tales, a chronicle of Jeff's strange adventures at coffee shops.

Jim Rea is the brains behind ProVue, the developers of the Panorama X database. Follow him on Twitter as @provuejim. Guy Serle, best known for being one of the co-hosts of the MyMac Podcast, sincerely apologizes for anything he has done or caused to have happened while in possession of dangerous podcasting equipment. He should know better but being a blonde from Florida means he's probably incapable of understanding the damage he has wrought. Guy is also the author of the novel, The Maltese Cube. You can follow his exploits on Twitter, catch him on Mac to the Future on Facebook, and find everything at VertShark.com. Andrew Orr is a freelance writer and amateur photographer.

The MacVoices Live! panel of Kelly Guimont, David Ginsburg, Jeff Gamet, Frank Petrie, Jim Rea, Guy Serle, and Andrew Orr answered a listener question about virtual desktops…but what kind of virtual desktop? The term is confusing and can be applied at least three ways…so we talked about all of them! We also started into a discussion of the commercial cloud services as well as the "personal cloud" devices that put a cloud on your desk.

My conversation with Kirk McElhearn about the demise of the Apple HomePod takes an unusual turn as we compare and contrast how we listen to music, use our libraries, and our streaming services. Those choices can, to some degree, inform our decisions about the smart speakers we listen to our music on, and the services we use.

Apple has discontinued the HomePod smart speaker and Kirk McElhearn has some thoughts on how it fit, or didn't fit into the market. Kirk covers both the Siri and the music aspects of the HomePod, why how people listen to music didn't necessarily align to the HomePod's capabilities, and suggests some alternatives for replacing that HomePod you might have been buying. He explains why you need to look for an AirPlay 2 compatible speaker, what the differences are between AirPlay 1, AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth, and why you might want to consider an AirPlay 2 receiver if you are serious about music.
