I’ve always been a fan of QuickTime<\/a> for no other reason than I really like the interface. It’s simple, it’s essentially the ultimate video player. In its latest incarnation, in Snow Leopard, every bit of window disappears when your mouse is gone. The navigation, the title bar, everything. It’s kind of slick, and once you start using it, it makes a lot of sense. It was one of those essential Mac pieces of equipment, so much so that you kind of took it for granted.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n For as long as I can remember, there has been an option\u2014disabled by default\u2014to set the software to automatically play any media file that it opened. In the preferences, you could even tell it how to handle conflicts in this scenario. For instance, if you opened five MP3 files at once, you could tell it to play them all at the same time, or you could tell it to play only the most recently opened file. It was simple, but flexible, and I had no other cause for complaint other than the paucity of media files that it supported.<\/p>\n This has all changed with QuickTime X<\/a> in Snow Leopard.<\/p>\n
