Yes this is obvious stuff to some, the ability to drag off and use iTunes URLs, but wasn’t to me.
I sometimes wander through the ‘LISTENERS ALSO BOUGHT’ pages on the iTunes store too look for inspiration if I’m not getting any from Last.fm etc.
Too often this results in me wanting to tag a track or an album as something I might be interested in buying. Just like the Amazon Wish List. But for some inexplicable reason, iTunes does not include this feature. Perhaps it’s to push people on the brink of a buying decision into ‘buy rather than forget’ (or was that just me being cynical about Apple?).
Help is at hand. Simply drag off the iTunes player, onto your desktop, your bookmark store, your cool app for storing things (etc) the item you want. This can be a track (click down, drag off, let go) or the last item in the bread crumb navigation bar at the top that has the album name.
Later, when you want to return to your DIY Wish List, just open any of the link files that the previous drag–process created, they will cause your default web browser to open to a page saying it is re–directing you to the iTunes store and you will end up back on that music page.
