I'm importing some CD's into iTunes and it seems the UI is as dumb as windows in one respect. I have some CD's that I originally imported only a few tracks, but now I want to import all the songs. iTunes recognizes that I have already imported some tracks and asks what I want to do with those. My options are to replace the duplicates or not, but the weird part is that selecting either option will import the song. it seems there should be a SKIP option...

Let me know if I'm missing something (I have had a beer or two...)

You can check the box not to import that particular song?

True, but I have it set to automatically import and eject, which doesn't allow you to select the songs you want... I'm not saying there's no way around it, but it seems like an obvious button addition to the dialog box ("Skip Duplicates" or something)
