Mostly Lisa’s 60 second Mac Tip #1

Posted on March 17, 2008

Did you know that you can control the in & out point of a song in iTunes?

Well you can. You can start a song 18 seconds in and skip a super lame intro. Here’s how.

Pretty useful tip, don’t you think?

If you already knew this then I crown you King Smarty Pants. We all bow in your honour.

    But iTunes is evil! Eeevil, I tells ya. Steve Jobs is the devil. Mac-cary is sweeping the world.

    At my last job I had a ‘work’ iPod I used to play my clients the radio commercials I’d made for them. I had to wrestle with iTunes, which enjoyed deleting everything on my iPod every once in a while.

    Since then, I’ve stuck with a Stiletto 2 from SIRIUS with a memory card in it. You can buy MP3’s from Amazon.com.

    Yeah, I`knew that.
    Where it`s useful is on hidden tracks. Check out the ones by Alanis Morissette and Tori Amos and bJORKJoss Stone (common theme here, anyone?). sA

    P.S: Nice to see you have The Streets in your iTunes collection. I bet your most-played Streets song is…(drumroll)

    “You’re Fit But You Know It”
