iTMS browser navigation and history works like Safari
A macosxhints post details how browsing the iTMS (as some might assume) works quite a bit like Safari. The poster discovered that clicking and holding on either the forward or back button in the iTMS will reveal a drop-down history menu. This ought to make browsing a bit easier for the chronic iTMS user (just don't blame us for the bill).I also noticed a little while ago that the standard Safari keyboard shortcuts of cmd + [ or ] will act as a back/forward command in the iTMS as well. Now all we need is bookmarking ability and a del.icio.us-like system for publicly marking and sharing albums for fellow users, and we'll be all set!

Also: I've used cmd and the left and right arrows in Safari forever, and no one seems to mention it when they're talking about Safari shortcuts. Not that these actually work in the iTMS, but...

i actually have xgestures set up to globally handle mouse button rock-actions with command + []. This works in almost everything with any kind of forward/backward history (finder, itunes, safari, FF, etc).

Ok, am I the only one out here that wants some sort of bookmarking, or a wish list for iTunes?

What would be a killer feature for iTunes and in fact ANY internet radio player is 30 minute buffering just like TiVo does. For one thing, I imagine many people find new artists serendipitously listening to internet radio stations, and if you could simply rewind back a few minutes and repeat a tune you liked. Hopefully the track info is provided and also included in the buffering. I imagine thatt like TiVo though, once you change channel the buffering is lost and starts anew.

The hold and click also works in the windows version of the iTMS.

Integrated bookmarking would be nice. But at least you CAN make bookmarks of a page! Click and drag any tab from the Navigation Tab to your desktop and it will make a link. If you want to see what's in a link just open it in Textedit.
Otherwise just make a folder of em...
