iTunes addons

Trying out iTunesControl and Last.FM

iTunesControl gives you hotkeys for iTunes - so you don't have to keep maximizing iTunes. It also downloads album art and shows the currently played info in a pop up.

Last.FM uploads your play list into their database, and also downloads all info about the artist, song. It will also suggest other artist. Much time wasting potential.

Some others I'll be trying:

dissapointed with iTunes shared library

Set up FireFly and was thinking I could add the FireFly shared library to iTunes and use it as a centralized mp3 library. But you can't create custom playlists from the library, and you can't search on it - at least I haven't found a way yet.

Looks like I'm going to have to create a network share for the mp3's and set up iTunes on all computers to use that instead.
