TUAW Tip: open two separate iTunes windows

Hmm, this has been about for many an interation of iTunes. Great if you want some in-window visualisation, but still able to access and manipulate your playlist/s from a smart playlist (or anything BUT the library directly, which you can recreate with a smart playlist - and browse).

2, Is this what you are talking about?

"2. Great! So how does one autosize windows in OS X, in other words, automatically tile them horizontally or vertically?

This to me is one of the compelling advantages of XP. And I've been using XP only 5 months and Macs for 13 years prior to that. Windows Explorer makes it so easy: on Start bar, click on one icon, CTRL-click the other to double-select, right-click either, and choose the desired option.

Cannot find a way to do this in OS X, and it is annoying."
can you be more specific? If i am right on what you are thinking: use the little green sphere in the top-left corner, and, depending on the app, will either resize to the contents or fill up the entire screen. the latter usually happens in places where the author didn't think anyone would press that button and forgot to disable it for that window.

Music, Movies, and TV Shows are not do open up in their own window in exactly the same manner as playlists.

Off-Topic-esque: While 2 windows is, uh, nifty, I'd like to see iTunes remember the settings for each iPod to which it syncs, so you can play with the sync settings and get a swag at the effects on your iPod's memory without having to hook up the iPod and resync it every time you check or uncheck a playlist or podcast.

would be nice (and actually useful) if each window could play tracks simultaneously. it would facilitate ad hoc cross-fading. Quicktime can handle this; no reason iTunes shouldn't be able to. iTunes also desperately needs a "cross-fade now" button that would initiate a cross-fade into the next track immediately, for when you're on a too-long song and need to get into the next one smoothly.

Slow news day?

I stumbled across this on accident just last week. I got a little click happy and a new window popped open. Kind of a neat little feature that I didn't know about. Probably wont use it much, but it's nice to know it's there.
