The Ideal iTunes Browser, originally uploaded by Subtonic12.
Firstly, don’t make fun of my music tastes.
Secondly, I think this is the ideal iTunes Browser view.
I basically live in iTunes DJ, and I still love listening to whole albums. Grid view is my favorite view in iTunes because I can see more albums all at once.
The problem [...]
Today I decided I would finally convert my Apple Aluminum keyboard to Dvorak. I did this before with my Macbook Pro. It was the most frightening thing I’ve ever done on a computer since fright videos that ask you to turn up your volume. Or Goatse.
This was a lot easier to do on previous designs. [...]

This is such an obvious smart playlist that I’m upset I didn’t think of it sooner.

Do you think iTunes on OSX is bloated? Some developers do, so they’ve created lightweight alternatives.
Ecoute is a standalone application that reads your iTunes library file and displays the library in a smaller window. It’s kind of like having an iPod for your Mac.

The scariest window ever.
Because here’s what it means. Something REALLY FUCKING BAD just happened to your [...]

Earlier today I complained on Twitter (the number 1 reason for using Twitter) about Pixelmator.
Pixelmator is an excellent low-cost image editor. I don’t want to call it an alternative to Photoshop because Photoshop blows it out of the water for higher end tasks (perspective, things like that). But if you don’t need to do that [...]

Ever hear about Launchbar but not sure what it is? Check out Screencasts Online overview of Launchbar.
Launchbar is in the same vein as Quicksilver, and with Quicksilver development at a stall it’s become a very attractive option. I’ve been using Launchbar 5 for about a year. I feel hobbled when using a Mac without it. [...]

The way Safari, and most web browsers, download files should work a bit more like iTunes. Only download 1-3 things at a time and queue the rest. Don’t try to grab it all at once.

I think Apple should pay me, but I’ve been sending in suggestions for free anyway – so why bother paying me?
Wouldn’t it be great if we could automatically get Genius recommendations?
Apple should consider using all this data it’s collecting for iTunes Genius to serve a custom podcast of new and recommended music.
Genius is nice, but [...]
