Rivet takes care of your Xbox 360 music and video streaming needs

rivet.jpgSure other programs like Connect 360 have been out for a little while, letting you stream music, movies and photos from your Mac to your Xbox 360, but this program Rivet just does it better.

For one, Rivet boasts superior folder organization that lets you browse your files as they exist on your Mac from your Xbox 360, rather than listing every file in a ginormous, scrollaborious list (that’s right, I just combined gigantic and enormous, and scroll and laborious into two separate words. My English rocks). Oh and here’s the topper: It’s $1 cheaper than Connect 360. That’s like, a whole iTunes song purchase right there. So get Rivet and spend the extra $1 on that new Timbaland single why don’tcha?

The one-long-list-of-videos style that Connect360 uses really is a pain. When I first bought the program I didn't have that many videos. 6 months later my list is agonizingly slow to go through. I may have to pick up Rivet simply to fix that issue, since Connect360 hasn't seemed to get any attention from the developers in quite a while.

That part was pretty good and it made me laugh. But just before that you said,

"For one, Rivet boasts superior folder organization that lets you browse your files as it exists on your Mac from your Xbox 360..."

Wow. Your English rocks and sucks at the same time! Your English rucks!
