TuneConnect 2
Control iTunes running on one Mac from another Mac (ie, it’s a bit like the iOS Remote app, but for your computer).
Automatically Add to iTunes
Continuing the recent tradition of posts about features hiding in plain sight, the ‘Automatically Add to iTunes’ folder is (I suspect) an underused method of getting music into Apple’s long-standing entry into the World Bloatware Championships.
I’ve long since given up on using iTunes to play songs, but it remains very good at keeping a large collection of music organised. So, any new MP3 files I rip or otherwise obtain are dropped into this special folder, ready to be imported next time iTunes starts up1.
In the meantime, mpd is pointed at both my main music directory, and ‘Automatically Add to iTunes’, so I can play stuff regardless of where it happens to be.

PicoPlay
This player was designed with one purpose in mind: don’t distract or use resources that you need for more important things.
A very minimal music player: you can’t even choose what to listen to. One for the shufflers.
Thanks, Philippe
