This might be obvious, but I just discovered that if I plug my iPhone headphones (the Apple-supplied set) into my late-2008 MacBook Pro, I can control iTunes just as I control music playback on my iPhone -- the button on the cord lets me play, pause and skip a song.
[ robg adds: I imagine you can also jump back a song, too, using a triple-click as described in this hint . I’m no...... [Show More]
