1) iTunes doesnt show any of my tracks or playlists suddenly. The library is empty. I checked the directory it is looking in and its all fine. What should I do?
2) In the finder in OS X, if you select the column view and click on a video file it insists on loading it up in the finder, which jams everything up for ages and is fucking annoying. Is there a way to stop this

1) the itunes library file is probably fucked up. these things happen sometimes. you might want to try and repair the permissions in the Disk Utility proggie, but it will most like do naught. just drop all your legal downloads into itunes again for a fresh start
2) i see that it's an avi you're trying to preview. I think you have to install the divx codec component thing to allow quicktime to decode it (qt manages all the audio and vid stuff in Finder - atleast I think so)

If it doesnt work, try and get a hold of Toast 7, there's this thing that installs with it that lets you load the .avis faster

thanks vlr
1) pain in the arse but
2) it is quicktime as far as I know. Ive got toast 7 and my codecs should be all good. I mean it does load the video eventually but it just takes a minute or two. Now you mention it I suppose it is really only avis that take a long time. Id really prefer to be able to just stop it loading them up automatically, Im surprised I havent seen anyone else whinging about this.

(2) press apple-i on a .avi file to see the information window, then choose the application you want to open the .avi with?
(1) dunno, it always worked fine for me but i might be doing it a different way... i just drag and drop my mp3 folders on the itunes window. just be sure to uncheck the "keep the itunes music folder organized" and "copy in itunes music folder the files added to the libarary" boxes if you do that!

(also, if you want to try another player than itunes, i'd recommend audion. it's not updated anymore, but stilll very good.)
