You and I agree completely. Have you looked at Cog as a player? It's pretty cool actually.
I wish, though, that they would add cross fading to Cog's functionality. Now that would be nice-especially since Cog allows ENQUEUE. I wish VLc did ENQUEUE. It doesn't seem to do that though. I frickin hate ITunes. I too hate the way ITunes forces you to use it's library whether you want to or not. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray Still a very proud and happy Mac and Iphone user!
