    i use itune and for some reason i can no longer get that bar at the top where i can pick certain artists so if i just wanna listen to alkaline tiro on shuffle i have to make a bloody playlist for it!


    though i dunno what this drop folder thing is you speak of?

    and that bar your talking about, i still have mine. if you go to view there's the option to "hide/show column browser." but if that aint there then i guess it's gone, maybe you have a newer version than me but i dunno why they'd get rid of it!


    how are you supposed to make itunes small in the corner of the screen? not minimized in the dock, but just msaller. i've seen people do it but dont know myself

    don't worry, neither does mango. the drop folder is a folder that if you put mp3s into, itunes will auto add them at the earliest opportunity. It saves having to use itunes to add the songs there. also, when you add folder in itunes, it has a habit of spitting out it's dummy if it starts finding files it thinks it should be able to open but can't (like mpegs) and not adding any. The drop folder just moves those to a subfolder called "can't add".

    lets assume you don't want to add a single track, lets suppose you want to add 50 from different albums/folders.

    also, disregarding that i'd already answered your question before you asked it, it was still pretty stupid...

    ctrl + s
    file + save
    right click + save

    why would they give you choice in how you want to use the program? why can't they just give you one method and expect to please everyone?

    i'm also sorry, I keep forgetting that although I am superior to everyone else that I should at least pretend to be humble on the intarwebs, I believe i overreacted.

    (see, i was apologetic, further proof that I am made of awesomium)

    I've just installed songbird. I didn't realize it was a web browser aswell. I've got my last.fm support and I'm currently syncing my iPod too. The library is similar to itunes and all of my tags are intact. I think I may have found what I'm looking for.
