Hey, thanks for all the info guys! And, no, I'm not writing any
spyware. Thanks Pelle! It was The Cheat... Basically,
I want to fiddle around with some memory in iTunes to see if I can get
it to list >100 songs in the party shuffle.
Anyway, thanks for everyone's replies. They were quite informative.

Someone already wrote a version of The Cheat to Mac OS X. You can
probably use it as reference. It's available with source at <http://
