What's your favorite iTunes doohickey?

Right now, mine are:

iTunes-BPM Inspector, which allows you to set the BPM by just tapping along with the beat, without having to go into the Get Info screen at all. Completely addictive, and will finally utilize all those Parappa-derived tapping skills.

iTunes Publisher, which turns your playlists into very nice-looking HTML files. Call me crazy, but I imagine one or two people here might find a use for this...

So, any other nifty iTunes applets that you've found?

I actually don't have any addons, mainly because I usually burn what files I have and listen to them on my stereo instead -- normally I'm just using iTunes for my own ripping. But is there anything specific I should be considering, you figure?

Hmmm...I guess if you're mostly listening on a stereo, there's nothing that pops to mind. Well, other than the aforementioned Publisher, which you could use for printing out track listings that look a little smoother than you get with the ol' Shift-Apple-4 snapshot trick.

four months pass...

I want to use Publisher to publish stuff from my iPod, but it doesn't want to. How is it done?

All you need are:

SmartPlaylists.com
AppleScripts for iTunes
iTunes Catalog

Thanks Chris.

I just downloaded this to try, and it does sound better - more midrange and more responsive bass, I think (I'm a million miles away from audiophilia or knowing much of anything about this) - it sounds like the difference in my old copy of Singles Going Steady and the remastered version.

But is it actually doing anything other than monkeying with the EQ?

I just discovered the Show Duplicate Songs function today. iTunes, you have just made my life so much fucking easier.

And yes, I know that I have like a dozen versions of "Don't Fear the Reaper". It is not up to you to judge me, iTunes.

For self-created or other playlists comprised of just 30 second clips, why should I have to manually click each song to hear a clip when I could just let it run through each clip automatically? Is there a way to do this that I'm not seeing?

I'd love to build up or select tailor-made playlists of hundreds of clips from the catalog that I could just set to play while I get on with other things. Then if any particular clips really catch my ear I can make note of it to download from elsewhere (ha).

Preview radio option U & K basically.

I want a yoke that allows me to crop a song and then copy the cropped song to my phone to use as a ringtone.

So is there a plugin that would let you 'bookmark' tracks you like and export them into some sort of text file for future reference?
