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!

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.

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).
