iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts to Quickly Accomplish Tasks

January 27, 2012

Keyboard shortcuts in any application play an important role in helping to accomplish tasks more quickly. The trouble of course, is that almost every application uses a unique combination of shortcut keys which limits the scope of its usage. If you are in the habit of frequently using iTunes, you may print a copy of the shortcuts for quick reference and as you become familiar with the shortcuts, you will no longer need any reference material. You can refer to this list of iTunes keyboard shortcuts or download it in the PDF format ( link at the bottom of the post) for your use later.
