If there are only 120 songs on an iShuffle, and you know the order of the songs, perhaps the shuffle technique could be one of the fastest to get to where you want to be?
E.g. Shuffle mode on -> next -> (nope) -> next -> (nope) -> next -> (yup that's about it) -> shuffle mode off -> back / back / back / play
Sorry to disappoint you, but all his previous comets have carried his name. In fact, he gets no choice in the matter ( e.g. he cannot on a whim decide to give the name 'Comet Peachwrack' ).
Comets are always named after their discoverer(s).
Well I am not impressed. I installed iTunes for Windows onto a W2K-Pro box and it hung up cold on startup (halfway along the blue progress bar). I could not reboot using safe mode, command mode, last good profile or anything.
I remembered the Roxio fiasco and unplugged my old CDRW drive (an IomegaZip 8x4x32) and W2K rebooted happily. Uninstalled iTunes, replugged the CDRW and all was well.
... but try running xmms under quartz-wm and compare with the results using OroborosX: quartz-wm puts a title bar above the xmms window and boy, does it look ugly.
Inicidentally, OroborusX still works even though I have installed Apple's X11 (the "either/or" kind of working, not concurrent!).

Why focus on Linus in this story? Tim Berners-Lee is deservedly in the same list. If Linus is a Saint, Tim must be the Pope.

.. and do you have any sort of reference to back up this vague memory? Unbelievable that this got modded up to +4.
But I bet that slow old brontosaurus used the preview button and spellchecked his posts! (And, what is more, knew that he was a dupe.)

Is Slashdot a write-only service nowadays?

This really ....

Proof that it's an upbeat world out there!
Get used to it: you want unix on a laptop, and proper integration between the hardware and OS?
Get an iBook or PowerBook.
Actually it's even easier than that with OSX:
Step 1: Buy album
Step 2: Rip onto iPod as usual
Step 3: There is no Step 3

Seems like not quite ready for primetime?
