Here's the pointer for the next *BSD user looking to make better use of his/her iTunes than keeping them on a 'doze box. Install audio/rhythmbox. I suggest using the gstreamer backend (xine dumped core on me when I tried to play m4as). Rhythmbox rocks. The gui isn't as fancy as xmms or xine, or even iTunes itself, but under the hood I like it as much as iTunes. You get the same 'net radio, shuffle play, playlists and you have a very straightforward windowed filter by artist, album, etc. It's just as easy to rate a tune, too. And unlike iTunes, it gave me a startoff rating right down the middle of the road for all tunes. The only thing I've noticed that isn't there is the date filtering in automatic playlists. And I didn't have to do a thing to get it to trap the fancy msoft multimedia keys (play, pause, stop, next, prev). It all just worked. I haven't tried it yet, but it claims to be able to load my iPod too. Maybe I _can_ put off buying a powerbook until the Intel based systems come out. Very, very cool.
