how about a little button that updates the ipod? right now, if i plug my ipod in, and then later add or change any tracks in itunes, i need to unmount the ipod, pick it out of the dock, and then put it back in the dock and wiat for itunes to update it.
unless of course, its there and i missed it....
It's there - in iTunes just select File > Update Songs on iPod from the menu :-)

I would love integration with iChat. There's been many more than one occasion where I wanted to asking someone something about a song they're sharing. Unless they put their email address or screen name in their sharing name, I've got no way to know who they are.

well, technically the sharing is only supposed to be used for personal stuff. i'm pretty sure the whole "college dorm" sharing phenomenon isnt what apple intended, so i doubt they'll add features to support it.

Good point. In fact, there's a bit of a security hole in iTunes. If you try to play a song purchased from the ITMS, it will bring up a dialog box asking for authentication. No big deal except it shows the owner's email address. At home it wouldn't matter, at college it might.

Go into terminal, and type "netstat | grep daap"
This shows all the open iTunes connections. If an IP is listed twice, they are listening to one of your songs. If the .daap is by your IP, then the other IP is connected to you. If it's by a foriegn IP, then you're connected to them
Of course, this is only helpful when your school names IP addresses according to the student. For example, at my school, it's your email address... so I can really easily tell who everyone is, especially after a reverse email lookup.
i'm so tired of people saying they want this!!!!!!!!! in prefs, just adjust the crossfade so that it doesnt really fade the tracks, but takes out the gap. PEOPLE, JUST EXPERIMENT WITH iTUNES!!!!!
And I'm so tired of hearing the 0-crossfade suggestion from people who just don't get it.
For the 17th time...
Take an album like "Dark Side of the Moon" where, track after track, one song flows into the next without a break in the sound.
Rip it from your own CD, or buy it from iTMS. Play it. Do anything you like with the crossfade settings. Set the burning prefs for Gap Between Songs to "none".
You'll still get a glitch between tracks that 0-crossfade doesn't fix. 0-crossfade may sometimes hide the flaw, but not reliably so.
So, why don't you EXPERIMENT WITH iTUNES a little yourself!!!!!?
I'd like it if there were a column that held a band's or record label's website URL. This would be really great to have for the iTunes Music store. You could download a song from the music store and then while listening to your newly downloaded track you could click on a URL in iTunes which would open Safari taking you to that band's website. It would also be advantagious to have instead of keeping every band's web address in your bookmarks in Safari. If you didn't download the track from the music store you could input the information in the "Get Info" window. This information could even be added to the CDDB (if Gracenote allowed) to be downloaded after inserting a cd.
Another feature I would like would be to browse the music store by record label. This would help the indy bands as most people that find new indy music find it by a record label that is associated with an indy band that they already know.

for some of the artist bio pages in iTMS they do have links to artist websites.

yeah. I know, but that doesn't quite resolve my request. I would like it if it were another column (the same way that "artist," "album," "BPM," "etc.." are) in itunes, both on the music store and in personal libraries of music.

Of course, this isn't very elegant, but it works
I have been wondering how to see if people are actually listening to my music. It would be cool to have a statistics page that would tell you what songs are listened to the most and what people are currently listening to.

Ooooohhh, that would be interesting. For those of us who don't who's listening to our music anyway.
#3 just customize the order of your songs within a playlist. surely you dont ALWAYS want to listen to the same song after another specified one. that would get old. the other way to do this is just combine the two tracks in iMovie and convert back to .aac or .mp3

I'm fairly certain control/right-click on the iPod icon does this (and on the Mac that usually means there's a menu item somewhere too).

It uses the command line program lsof to look through a cache to try and find open files. It often fails, though, but it sometimes works.
Lsof +D path to your music library
in my case it is Lsof +D /Users/Shared/Music
So I get:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
iTunes 526 [myusername] 21r VREG 14,5 7289762 1358023 /Users/Shared/Music/Beulah/Yoko/Hovering.m4a
I couldn't get any of the Applescripts or Konfabulator programs to work.
1. Playlist specific cross-fade setting
2. Search notes
3. "Song Links"...I want Song X to always play after Song Y.
