I love iTunes, its clearly the best mp3 program available. I've converted many WinAmp faithfuls to iTunes and they love it too. The only thing I wish iTunes had was a "currently playing" button. You could use this button to jump to the song that is currently playing, in whichever playlist you are playing it from, or even from the library. Maybe there is already a keystroke that accomplishes this, but i think a button somewhere in the player would be a welcome addition. When playing music off of a roommates computer I sometimes forget if its his computer or mine and then I search for it in my library and then it goes to the next song and i loose my place in my library.

Select File->Show Current Song or press Command-L.

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Look under the File menu and select "Show Current Song". On the Mac, you can use the command-L shortcut.

In Developer's defense: Sometimes people don't do a bit of exploration before posting. A quick look through the various menus or Preferences of an app can answer most questions.

It's probably because the answer was located in the very first menu one should check within iTunes. It's like if someone asked you how to save a document, and they hadn't looked in the File menu yet. I know I'd be frustrated at the laziness of the person.
