Familiarisation with iTunes (Page 2) - March 19 2006
Lets look at these three areas in more
detail.
First: The Title bar area and currently playing
controls
 |
Title bar: left to right:
regular drop menus; play controls, info. window;
search facility and dynamic icon (currently
'browse'). |
The left side of the title bar gives
you playing controls for the current
track as well as the usual drop down menu options.
(The content of the drop down menus are covered in
the iTunes advanced
tutorial).

The play controls for
current track |
The middle section of iTunes is the
information window. This provides all manner of things;
from current track name to the percentage of songs
copied to your iPod to the import progress of a song.
This will adapt based on the situation.

The far side contains the search field
and the 'dynamic button'. The search tool is invaluable
in finding the song you are after in a large library
and the button on the end of the row changes depending
on what you are doing. In the below diagram, it shows
the browse library facility. It can also show the
'burn' icon, for instance, when making a CD of your
favourite tracks.
In its present form, the button at the
end will bring down the browse options for your library.
This will allow you to select a track from your library
by artist, album or a genre to listen to (on your
computer).
