iTunes 3
I’ve finished migrating my MP3 collection onto the TiBook. I am tremendously impressed with iTunes 3. It does so many things right! My favorite feature by far is Smart Lists: lists of songs assembled on the fly based on tag searches you establish beforehand. The search criteria are ample enough for the lists to be really “smart” and therefore meaningful.
I have found this to be a consistent feature of Apple software: as a user, you are completely isolated from the complexity unless you intentionally want to be exposed to it. The first time I became aware of this concept was while using HyperCard: the power of a scripting language was there if you wanted to dig, but there was also an easy point-and-click interface for use by most folks.
