Thanks for the info, but that's not what I meant. I don't mean the playlists, I already know how to do that. I ment the little thing above where it show the current song, time elapsed and where you can set the position of the track. Basically, the object that's between the fast forward button and the search box.

Doh! Sorry...
I thought I wrote the perfect newbie-guide, and instead I came out as 100% condescending... :)

I would bet that it is a view (or whatever it's called in Carbon) that does all it's drawing all by itself, every tiny little bit of it. Which part in particular are you interested in emulating? It does a lot of stuff: Equalizer, Progressbar / Slider, Animated sliding song information, etc..

Drawing strings is easy enough, check the draw methods in NSString Additions and / or NSAttributedString Additions in AppKit. Just create a custom view and override drawRect: and start drawing strings... Animations are done using NSTimer. But being an advanced Cocoa user, I bet you know that already.
