Speaking of speakable items (haha!) I just had the same thought the other day, of how cool it would be to say "next track" and have iTunes change it. I haven't looked into it, but wouldn't the sound interfere with the microphone?

Personally I love the keyboard short cuttery of Sizzling Keys, great app and works its way into how you work.

I have been using Synergy for a year or so and really love it. Fully customisable keyboard shortcuts and it also puts a back - play/pause - fwd set of buttons in the menubar for you. Well worth the $9 (I know there are freebies out there, but this does the trick perfectly)
My dock is already cluttered enough, unfortunately...

Don't the 2 new Apple keyboards do this via the labeled F keys? Has to be easier and quicker than mousing over icons in the dock, or any icons on a screen!?!

Hey what a small world, I just had 3000 plus of my CDs ripped by www.ripstyles.com and they rock! Thanks for bringing me into the digital music world, love this application!

Glad you guys like the software!
Actually Mike, iTunes is already speakable! Just turn on speech and you can use "next/previous song" and "play" whenever you're in the iTunes window!

Does anyone remember in 10.0 when "dockables" were called widgets? Or at least they were in the library folder.

I'm with Ben -- I've been using Synergy Advanced almost a year now and love it. It accents Quicksilver nicely too because it's all keyboard shortcuts. (It's from Wincent.com I think, and it's about $12).

While it's nice to have some diversity, I think the Synergy line does this kind of control a little better. I don't think it's worth using an entire dock icon for a single control. Maybe if they offered a way to split a dock icon four ways or three ways into a triangle, then that would be OK.
