Bookmark interesting items in the iTunes Music Store
Nov 02, '03 06:38:00PM • Contributed by: ctbritt
dunno is y'all knew this or not, but I was frustrated by the lack of a "bookmarks" function in iTunes Music Store. What if I wanted to buy something later and I couldn't easily remember what it was? no problem-o! just click and drag the album cover from the iTMS to the desktop. Bam. It turns into a standard URL file that when you double click it, comes right back to what you were looking at. This works for anything that acts as a link in the iTMS, whether it's a song, an artist or whatever. Nice, huh?

Bookmark interesting items in the iTunes Music Store
Excellent tip--thank you. It should be somewhat obvious, but even yesterday I was muttering to myself about there being no way to bookmark songs. I still hope they build this in to iTMS some time soon.
Bookmark interesting items in the iTunes Music Store
I guess that's a pretty nice way to do it. What I've been doing from the get-go is I always leave my Store preferences set to use a shopping cart, rather than 1-click ordering.
Shopping cart is not a wish list
This doesn't work the way the dragging bookmarks does. Putting them in your shopping cart simply saves them for a batch purchase. I can't find a way to use the shopping cart like a "wish list" that allows selective access for the actual purchasing. I have often filled a shopping cart with wished for songs and then only wanted to buy a couple. No dice. I had to remove almost everything from my list and leave only the few I was going to buy at that time. Does Amazon have the wish list patented or something?
Shopping cart is not a wish list
It's not so much the Amazon wish list we need, as the ability to mark certain things in the cart as "Save It For Later." (Hey, a song title!) My Amazon wish list has lots of expensive DVD sets that people are welcome to buy for me, but the "save for later" area of the cart has stuff that I intend to buy soon myself. :-)

You don't have to use the album art for this. You can just drag and drop individual song titles to the desktop, or into the Bookmarks Bar in Safari! |
