I was installing Jaguar on a 1 gig drive. I was already attempting the impossible. There was no way I could have selected the 'install applications too' option, and once the drive was almost full, there was no way I could run it. The 10.2.3 update itself nearly required a C-section to get in there. So I just downloaded iTunes separately, but it didn't work. Maybe the layered installation is what makes me different, but if so there's no solution until I get a bigger HD, which I probably won't. I am on an extreme budget but I am trying to look forward technologically. Blowing a couple hunnert (CDN$) on a SCSI drive that will be obsolete the second I receive it is not an option. And anyway, it's money better spent on RAM. I run all my apps off of network drives (if only I could install onto them!) because I have cheap-o FreeBSD Pentium II with a larger drive I can share. Therefore, RAM is where my cash is going. It too will be instantly obsolete, but way, way cheaper. Anyway, Air Whisper (two words) is probably the smallest, most convenient MP3 player I have used so far with OS X. And it's skinnable, to boot (which I don't care about but you might). AND it is the ONLY mp3 player (besides iTunes) that NEVER skips and jumps no matter what else I ask the processor to do simultaneously with playing music. Air Whisper is way less functional than iTunes (no playlist management, no burning, no visualisations, no regular-CD playback -- just MP3s, and you just pick an MP3 disc or a folder and play it) -- but when it comes to simple playback it has everything you would expect -- my big pet-peeve is mp3 players without random-play, but this one has it. I think Air Whisper is a very, very good product. Even if I got iTunes to work, I would probably still use it on occasion. Hell, I might even register it one of these days. I actually don't miss iTunes much. The only thing that I regret is that now that I finally have an OS that pre-emptively multi-tasks, I bet the fluidity of the iTunes visualisations would improve a lot over OS 9, where they were always too herky-jerky to be truly enjoyed -- but of course now I can't run them at all. Oh well.
