The biggest problem of switching from Winamp to Itunes is that I can't create disposable playlists.
When I used to use Winamp, I would play a song in a folder, and know which folder I had to browse to to hear the song next. Instead of double clicking, one right clicks (to Mac users, this is clicking a button on the mouse that shares space with the usual Mac mouse button that spans the full width of the mouse) on a song, and chooses to enqueue the song into the already 'established playlist', instead of choosing to play a song and start a new playlist.
I swear Itunes can't compete with that stuff. I'm pretty sure about 10 people out of 100 make CD's out of the people that still might pay attention to playlists, but it works sometimes.

Damn right I do! (about the pets)
+ There is a huge difference in real death/wounds/injuries and ones in movies/video games .People who think that video games make you jaded to death/violence are f*cking stupid.
MrmMrbill provided an excellent analogy with the bbing terms. But here is another:
99% of people refer to all electronic as techno. Techno is just one of the many genres. Most people referring to it as techno, don't enjoy the music and/or care about learning about the genres or the differences. I dont' think I'd use them to be the ones to classify which DJ would fall under which category.

It went 50 f*cking posts before someone caught this. I couldn't believe it.

i'm not following what you are describing.
(as an aside, right click on a mac trackpad is clicking using two fingers at once instead of one, using a mac mouse, it is clicking on the right hand side of the mouse, where a right click button would be situated on a two or three button mouse. macs also will work with any wireless or USB moue or keyboard out of the box, so if you plug in a 2 or 3 button mouse, it will work and right-click right away)
back to itunes,
do you mean to create a new playlist using the currently playing (or selected or whatever) song?
if this is the case, do you want the new playlist to be an empty playlist with just that song in it, to which you will add others?
there is a simple way to do this. i'm going to show you the 3 ways that i use itunes when i am listening to music on my computer.
method 1
the first is that method i have described above: you have selected a song or are listening to a song, and want to create a blank new playlist with that song, and you will add more songs to this playlist.
this is using a feature called itunes dj. if itunes dj is not appearing in you list on the left sidebar under playlists, you will first need to turn it on. (itunes preferences, in the 'general' tab, make sure 'itunes dj' checkmark is turned on)
itunes dj is actually pretty awesome. if you are having a big party (or even a small party), hook up your computer to the stereo system, and then click on itunes dj in the playlists. in the bottom right of the itunes dj interface, click on "settings…" turn on "allow guests to request songs with remote for iphone or ipod touch". if anyone has an iphone or ipod touch, and is connected to the same wi-fi network as your computer, they can open up the remote app, and request songs from your music library to be added to the itunes dj playlist. you can limit where they can request music from to certain albums, artists, or playlists, so that they don't make requests from your barry manilow collection (they won't even see it, so your secret is safe). if a song is requested multiple times, it gets bumped up the itunes dj playlist. the advantage of this is that your computer doesn't even have to be visible, or have a keyboard or mouse attached, so it's only going to be used for music, and your guests won't be able to sabotage your ******** and tell everyone about your barry manilow collection, because they won't even be able to use the computer.
in this case, click on "settings…" and set both of the dropdown menus to 0, then close the settings and click "refresh"
come back to your music library, and start playing a song. the one you want in the new playlist. once playing, right-click on the song, and choose "play next in itunes dj". if you now come back to itunes dj, you will see that it's the only song there. you can add music to itunes dj by right-clicking and choosing "add to itunes dj"
once you have set up itunes dj, you can just open itunes, start playing a song, right-click and "play next in itunes dj" and then keep adding songs by right clicking them as well. it will behave in this instance as a temporary playlist.
method 2
turn on genius. click on the little atomic symbol thingy in the bottom right hand corner of the itunes window. if you haven't already activated it, you will need to sign in using your apple id, and then genius will take a look at your music library and take a few minutes to get set up. once it is set up, click on the song that you want to listen to, and then click the genius icon in the bottom right of the itunes window.
it will automatically make a new temporary playlist for you using that song as the basis. this playlist will be by default 25 songs, but you can set the limit to be up to 100 songs. to make this playlist, it uses a combination of the following information: the playcounts on your songs, the ratings on your songs, the order in which you listen to different music on your computer/iphone/ipod/ipad, tracks that others have bought who also bought that particular track in the itunes music store (even if you didn't buy any of this music from itunes), the itunes music store track ratings, and some other things i don't even know about. it uses all this information to put together a playlist of songs that you will probably want to listen to if you want to listen to the track that you have selected. it gives you a nice selection of genres and artists and albums, and it is extremely effective.
if you skip songs in a genius created playlist, or delete songs from a genius created playlist, it takes note of this and is less likely to include it in future genius mixes. it learns from your listening habits.
the best way of describing it is that it chooses music for you based on your mood. it's very good at doing this.
if you like the genius mix that's been created, you can save this mix as a playlist. if you don't save it, it will clear out and regenerate the next time you activate genius on another song.
method 3
enable the column browser (view menu>column browser>show column browser)
this is fairly self-explanatory. as you choose items from each of the columns, it will narrow your music library down and show you songs that match your selections. you can select multiples by holding down command(mac) or control(windows), or by shift-clicking in the lists.
the column browser view will treat the visible selection as its own playlist. if you start playing music, it will only play what you can see, whether this is in order, or shuffled if you have shuffle turned on.
the column browser is a really fast way to construct a de facto playlist if you don't actually want to make a playlist or generate a smart playlist..

I just noticed this Itunes DJ feature in Itunes, but I'm not sure of its use as far as me playing music by myself.
Safari is scrwey By the way. Tell someone to fix it for Windows.
I buy my songs through Itunes because I like the way they set up their store. Every now and then, Amazon gives me a credit to download songs, but almost always, I pay the extra .30 to get a song at Itunes.

It amazes me what people will do to get high, seriously? Gasoline, solvents and other aromatic hydrocarbons?
I bet M and I watch more BBC America than any other channel. I watch the BBC's news, not a whole lot of political spin like US outlets. JUST GIMME THE FUKN NEWS ASSBAG!!! I don't wanna hear the editorial from the right or left, just the fukn news.
I wish they'd put on Benny Hill. He and Rowan Atkins are comedic geniuses.

itunes dj is method 1, and the most complex
i usually use 2 (genius) or 3 (browser). sometimes i use itunes dj. i use home sharing (investigate yourself, it's pretty cool) with my phone a lot
i am not huge fan of apple's windows development. i have made this known to my colleagues on multiple occasions. i shall tell them you dislike safari as well..

because it can tell with anything that carries or is even near an electrical signal.
in the case of the sofa, it could just be sensing their position via a device they have in their pocket, or there could be a few sensors placed strategically in the couch.
the point is that it's more than just "is the person touching me yesno?" which is what current tech uses.
i really dig the using your own body as a control method. imagine how useful this would be for blind/deaf/autistic/people with special needs..

Safari seems to reload every single tab in every open browser at extended points of use. I return to the browser that's been open for the bulk of the day, and at a random time, every single tab will reload. Pages with unfinished forms, youtube pages, pages with expired logins. Tell them this. It will save millions of lives.

yep.
the ability to completely use your phone (or perhaps one day, even the computer) without needing to look at it, or even to touch it, would be fantastic. this tech is demonstrating that it's possible, and not far off (hopefully). to me this seems a lot more natural than using a mouse or learning how a UI works.

I just mean that it will facilitate a lot of common misunderstanding that able people exhibit in every-day life, with the door handle sensing part and what not. IDGaF really about people using their Iphone easier, but why keep things more complicated than possible.?.
Are you saying that I'm the car doing the 360? My fingers are crossed.

Your analogy sucks, and argument by analogy is fallacious regardless. The "hip-hop" point, was that you can't refer to what was called "hip-hop" ONLY at the time to define what we are discussing, since it wasn't the common terminology, EVEN WITHING THE INDUSTRY. Go back and look for references. You will find 50-1 as "rap" vs "hip-hop".
Your "examples" (at least 3/4-I'm not looking at them but going from memory) also list the music as...."rap". Correct? Thanks for proving my point.
Please go back to what I originally said. You are arguing a straw-man. I never said that "hip-hop" was NOT correct.
I'll restate my original point:
They didn't create the genre, and they weren't even the first white people to do it. They exposed a lot of white kids to it.
I'm from white-washed suburbia? Do tell.
