[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1011174, member: 145676"] Good tip but preview with spacebar suffers from the fact that you need to keep focus on the finder window. I did find a tip that solves this - if you switch to column view in finder and hit play on the preview icon in column view the song will keep playing. I am currently listening to XX - The Intro (the song from Apolo Ohno's commercial) while typing this using this method. Note there is no control over the song though - so basically every time you switch songs - the song starts from the beginning. Also don't forget you can just drag any song to the quicktime icon in the dock and open it that way too. The other reason you might not want itunes to open as a default is my case - I have a laptop with an external hard drive that holds my music. I don't like itunes opening up randomly with my library disconnected so I do have my default player set to quicktime. [/QUOTE]
