As a metadata fascist, this drives me nuts. However, in earlier versions of iTunes (pre-Lion ?), the shortcut was disabled and did neither. I assume they use non-standard text-inpu…

I've decided against supporting the movement. I like what they ostensibly stand for. Corporate influence in politics is a tricky thing. There is palpable dissonance between deregul…
