Hidden iPod Commands

Command-Tab has a useful interactive image to determine Hidden iPod Commands.

I grew tired of Googling each time I needed the correct button sequence to put iPods into their various modes, so I’ve put together this little interactive display. Click on one of the three darkened buttons above to display the key presses necessary to put the iPod in the selected mode. To use, Reset the iPod using the first combination, then use the Diagnostic Mode or Disk Mode combination as soon as the Apple logo appears.

Check out Hidden iPod Commands.

In my opinion the only reason you really need art work in your iTunes.app is if you have an iPod that can display them. I used some scripts that use Amazon or Google or some image repository. But I’ve ended up with the wrong artwork sometimes.

Corripio is yet another artwork finding application. But instead of using Amazon and Google image search Corripio fetches artwork from the iTunes Music Store. We will have to wait and see if it grows big enough to warrant a cease and desist from Apple
