The Music N*** is a simple replacement for iTunes, suitable for parties. It lets your guests queue up songs while locking the screen (kiosk mode) and disabling the playback controls.
The Music N*** should be able to play iTunes Music Store files (those with DRM), but I haven't tested this because I've never bought any songs from Apple. But I know it won't play over AirTunes since that's a closed feature of iTunes. There are third party ways of getting around this. The Music N*** requires at least Mac OS X 10.3 and it might not be able to read iTunes Library files before iTunes

If you are like me and have no hip hop music and a guest complains, you can have him bring his CDs in from his car and import them into your iTunes library. Then you can 'Reload iTunes Library' from the 'File' menu (command-R) and the new songs will be available from within The Music N***, without the music ever having to be stopped.
Warning: As part of kiosk mode (where screen is locked), the Finder is stopped. So make sure you aren't doing any Finder operations (like copying files). When The Music N*** unlocks, the Finder is restarted. If this fails for some reason you can restart the Finder by hand by clicking on the Finder icon in the dock. Stopping the Finder is not good, however the alternatives are worse.

But I'm missing Genre browsing and the display of the rating or filtering out bad rated songs. Also displaying the year would be nice.
It would be really great if it did again!
The only other major thing I would change about it is the option to Hide the app, whether this be password protected or not, its a good function.

i don't care in the least either way.

Censoring something like that is way over the top.

As for a reference to Seinfeld, I didn't say he specifically made reference to some of the content in the show -- it was simply in similar vein.
It seems as if the author is making a veiled reference to Apple in this particular instance.

Are you sure you don't belong to the NCAA committee trying to force Florida State to remove Seminoles as their team name? ; )
(That was a joke, in case you didn't catch my sarcasm.)

I felt offended too, then I looked up the Seinfeld story and now I think it is a funny application name - inside the US.
Developers should not be bound to figure out any way they might irritate somebody on this planet in advance. But IMHO they should try to understand upcoming complaints and respond to them in a sensitive way. It´s no censorship at all to tell somebody that his joke is not that good in every place. And this one really can be irritating.
Sorry to say, but a software called "music nazi" would spoil my party, for I would spend all night explaining the Seinfeld story to every single guest. No dancing at all - while this is a music player.

you knew from the begining that the word 'nazi' would be a problem... this is lamer!
btw, good idea... just need some tweaks and a better interface!
