Hi Scott. Are you using Leopard? If so, you can always use the
quicklook panel on audio files you only want to hear once. This will
play the file and not bring it in to itunes. If you've not used
quicklook, all you have to do is press spacebar when finder is focused
on the file you want.

Hey Cara,
Where can you turn that off in prefs? As sold as I am on the
library way of doing things now, it'd be nice to be able to turn
that option off so that I could open random bits and pieces without
them being added. Got a bit of a thing about keeping the library
tidy ya see... it's virging on unhealthy actually lol.

This is common behavior for ITunes, but you can turn it off in
prefs...

Hi.
Last time I tried to open a whole folder in ITunes, something very
anoying happend: I opened the folder from my external harddrive by
selecting all files in the folder, and I pressed command o to open
it. Then I unplugged my harddrive, I saw all the music I opened
from the folder was copied into the ITunes folder on my internal
harddrive. Now I'm a bit afraid to use ITunes, because it's not my
own Mac computer, so I don't want to put my own files on it. I'm
wandering why ITunes just copied the files to the internal
harddrive. If someone can explain this, I'll begin to use ITunes
again. I'm sure I didn't hit any copy buttons...
Mac is great, but sometimes it does weird things.

You can go to the finder and select all the tracks you want to
play and press command O for open.

Hey all. I was just wondering if there was a way to get ITunes
to play
entire folders. I'm tired of having to go to every file I want and
opening it individually. Also, can I click on an RSS podcast to
get it
in ITunes, or do I need to click on a Subscribe via ITunes link. I
have some podcasts I want to get, but there is not a clear ITunes
link. Could somebody please varify this please? Thanks a lot.
