Join Garrick Chow for an in-depth discussion in this video Keyboard controls, part of Learning iTunes 12.
- Sometimes instead of using iTunes buttons…to control the playback of your music,…it's much easier and quicker to use…keyboard commands.…Like many applications,…you can control many of iTunes most useful functions…using only your keyboard.…Of course you have to learn these keyboard shortcuts…before you can use them.…If you go to Help,…Keyboard Shortcuts,…and this is the same on both Mac and Windows,…you'll get a listing of the keyboard shortcuts…available in iTunes.…As you can see they're arranged here by category…like Play music, video, and more,…Create and manage playlists,…Manage your iTunes library and media files,…and so on.…
So for example,…we can see here that pressing Return or Enter…on Windows plays the selected song immediately.…(rock music)…And as I mentioned earlier,…pressing the space bar plays and pauses…the song as well.…Now the difference between the space bar…and the Return or Enter key…is that the Return or Enter key immediately starts…the selected song playing from the very beginning,…even if you're in the middle of the song someplace.…
