It would be nice if iTunes had a wish-list function. I use Amazon's all the time to put things in that I am not ready to buy or am on the wall about.
We find a tonne of new music through Pandora and while I bookmark it in Pandora, it is a pain to Pandora and click on each link individually and have it come up in iTunes. It would be easier if it went straight to an iTunes wish-list and be bought in bulk instead.
iTunes isn't the greatest software anyway, and is mainly useful because there isn't another service like it that integrates your play-lists, music library and buying new music in the one spot.
Steve Burnap : I suspect that they don't do that because they feel it'd reduce the amount of "impulse buy" sales. Impulse buys are likely a lot more common at the 99 cent price point than they'd be at the ~$15 the average book costs.
adam : iTunes store -> Top right corner -> My Wishlist
cam : Ha. Nice. Must be a usability issue rather than a feature incompleteness one. How do you get the songs into the wishlist?
adam : There is a drop down off the buy button. Funny how iTunes doesn't quite have the usability edges polished as well as the physical apple products do. I have an iPod which is a beautiful piece of design, but iTunes podcast management is still a bit average, even though podcasts are named after an apple product.
cam : I agree. Apple the hardware company and Apple the software company are two different beasts. Their hardware is gorgeous. Their software, meh, not so much.
We like to listen to Pandora on the Bose system we have in the bedroom. We use my iPhone and the Pandora iPhone app to run it. Sometimes however we want Pandora to run through the main speakers in the lounge room. Usually we either stick the iPhone in the mount out there, or we run iTunes through one of the two Airport Express dongles we have. Today I decided to set it up so that Pandora would play in the main stereo in the lounge room and through the Bose system in the bedroom. I did it with Airfoil.

It hitched to Firefox, though Firefox doing one of its installs/updates killed the hitch initially but it grabbed it the next time. Pandora was quickly streaming through Airport Express into the main stereo's speakers.

Airfoil comes with a little app, Airfoil Speakers, that lets any other system be hooked up to Airfoil. I downloaded Airfoil Speakers from the app store on the iPhone and the Macbook was soon streaming the Pandora feed from Firefox into the iPhone on the Bose system. Rockin'
It now raises the issue that the Airport Express as big ugly dongles - admittedly that provide USB and cat5 as well - can now be replaced by adhoc iPhones or Touch's. Which are more useful systems that don't need to be installed permanently for a mono-purpose.
