Front row just accesses iTunes. If you start music in front row, then leave front row, the music should continue to play in iTunes.

I thought that Leopard changed this. I think that now if you exit Front Row, everything stops playing.

I hate the way Front Row no longer controls iTunes like it did in Tiger. That was the best thing about FR!

Silly

I really don't know why they removed this function in Leopard. FR in tiger worked both ways iTunes <--> FR . Now FR just turns your machine into a giant iPod.

Anybody know how to run Front row on one monitor, while the other one is available for normal use?

Well if you're using a laptop I know that if you connect it to an external monitor you can have the laptop screen displaying FR and the monitor displaying something else, or vice versa. Actually, now that I think about it, that would probably work for desktops too.

Tiger's Front Row was the best, everybody wanted it and loved it.

Leopard's Front Row............
