dare to fail gloriously

I usually prefer to listen to entire (or at least most of) albums than individual songs. While I was reading this thread I was trying to come up with a good smart playlist, and came up with this:



Click here for the full 870x583 image.


The first track of each album is a decent proxy for that album, and the playlist shows me albums that I've listened to enough to count them as favorites, but not within the last week. Plus, with that particular view, I can go straight to the album and not just listen to the first track!This is not working like I thought it was.
Yes I know that is a lot of Pavement/Malkmus shut up I like it :colbert:

Sizzlingkeys is also a great itunes controller for those who don't have itunes controls pre-made on their keyboards on their old macs.

I use Quicksilver for an iTunes controller. I have Command+Option+Space Pause/Start, Command+Option+Space Left/Right change tracks like you'd expect, and Command+Option+Space Down search the library. Finally, I have a hot corner set to fire up iTunes when the window is closed, so getting at it is really easy. The searching is not perfect, but it works okay. And there is absolutely no reason not to have Quicksilver installed on your Mac.

I still miss MediaMonkey, though.

I had this issue, and after some Googling found that the problem was that many of my MP3s were corrupted. I fixed the problems with the files using this: http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/ and following this guide: http://trevinchow.com/blog/2008/09/17/fix-for-mp3-songs-not-playing-in-itunes/

It fixed something like 3000+ of my 10000 songs, and afterwards they all showed up in iTunes.

Hope that helps.

Anything similar to this for OS X that doesn't cost $50? Thanks in advance!
