Blast from the Past: iTunes 1

pito189: I know it isn't quite the same, but you can just click in the song list and start typing, and like most scroll lists in OS X it will jump to the row that matches what you type (with respect to whichever column is currently defining the order).

Wow, I didn't realize that iTunes had an Aqua interface even in OS 9. I thought that Aqua was only ever an OS X thing.

""Apple admitted at Macworld San Francisco that they missed the boat on this trend,[mp3 players] and they’ve decided to catch up with a vengeance.""

Boy did they. 75% of the market. i'd say that's a pertty decent catch up.

Who said you can't skin iTunes?

All I want is the ability to press "J" like in winamp to search for a song, but not have iTunes hide the rest of the music. That is my biggest beef with iTunes, besides not being able to make a mini on the fly play list, while I'm listening.

actually, someone cooked up a haxie for versions 1.0 and 1.1 that will make it work under Mac OS 8.6. Hell, i'm still using Sundjam MP on 7.6.1 to organize my music. Too bad the "upgrade" button and "web" menu are now defunct, since Cassedy and Green went out of business. I also wish visualizations were full screen, rather than this nasty looking "windowed" mode.

Yeah, everyone knows that Apple hired the guy who wrote Soundjam to code iTunes 1.0. I heard the first iTunes was coded single handedly by this guy. Guess that can't be said for 7.0 eh?

Macskeeball, thanks for the URL catch. Should be fixed now.

The URL for the "Read" link is wrong (missing the l at the end). It should be http://www.atpm.com/7.02/itunes.shtml

Jeez, what with all the nostalgia you could have at least mentioned SoundJam.
