OSX has done this since... maybe not Beta, but soon after Beta. You obviously don't use the superior Column view. You can also do a Get Info and it has a player built in right there.Quote:

While we're on the subject, how do I get thumbnail view of pictures?
cmd+j, check "show icon preview"
Also, for the Finder window problem, I dragged a shortcut to my hard drive to my dock, right next to the trash can. Every time I want a new Finder window, I click it. Convenient.
Awesome. Thanks.
Now if I could just figure out what that green button is supposed to do. It seems to just toggle between two completely useless window sizes/positions, leaving me to manually stretch my windows back to a usable size, but I'm sure it has another purpose. I'd rather just have a maximize button.
Yeah. I don't think there's an option to have MP3s live only on the iPod, unless third party programs support that.Quote:

Though even if there were comparably-equipped (same drive space, comparable display) players at half the price I still don't see myself picking anything over iPod. At least nothing I've used yet--the interface on iPod is still leagues better than anything else, and the hardware is always way, way prettier (which, for an expensive gadget, is worth consideration).
As far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing. Depending on your mp3 player to be the only place you store your music collection is begging for trouble. A friend of mine was doing that with his old iPod... you should have heard him the day the hard drive failed.Quote:

You have to remember that Mac OS was a multi-tasking OS long before Windows, so Mac OS doesn't go by the idea of having one application taking up the entire screen.Quote:

Sounds like a form of DRM to me, why should the Ipod restrict this at all? They are my files I am putting on my device, I should be able to access them, anywhere, without having to use a hack.Quote:
