alex chiang: web 6.0

I am either too smart or too dumb to use iTunes — I don’t know which. iTunes comes with a bunch of internet radio sites preinstalled. For about 3 months, I’ve been trying to figure out how to add a new bookmark to that list, but to no avail. I poked around the menu options and the preferences pane endlessly, but iTunes defeated me.

It turns out that when you open an internet stream in iTunes, it automatically gets added to your library. In other words, when you play the stream, a “bookmark” is added automatically. Duh.

I created a new playlist called “radio sites” and stuck all of my already existing library entries into it.

Also, I just found out that the little green button does the same function as the Window | Zoom menu. Since I use keyboard shortcuts all the time, I guess I never investigated what the little colored buttons do in the title bar, and I could never figure out the shortcut for “Zoom”.

Now that I think about it, the answer is probably that I’m too dumb to use this software. Oh well.
