A small thing perhaps, but I could never get used to it and was always distracted when all I wanted was to start a playlist and turn to work. I have used Alfred for quite some time but I learned recently about the Instant Send feature of Launchbar which seems very nice. I just need to press the standard Search shortcut ( ^␣), then start typing the name of any Playlist, Artist, Album, Song or Genre from my iTunes library and press ↩ to play whatever I want.Īlthough Alfred 2 can also play music, one first needs to launch iTunes (or rather a special Alfred player linked to iTunes) and only then select music. LaunchBar’s ability to play music was a decisive factor for me. Somehow it just does not work for me – I would like to see my answer after I clearly indicated that the equation is finished (of course, LaunchBar allows to copy it to the Clipboard and do some other operations). Now, Alfred 2 has a similar behavior, but the difference is that in LaunchBar pressing ↩ displays the answer in large type, whereas Alfred immediately (without ↩ being pressed) displays the answer in small type just beneath the equation. It is invaluable for simple quick calculations. When you activate LaunchBar and start typing numbers it works as a calculator. I know that something like Instant Send should be available in Alfred 2, but I could never find this function and was increasingly irritated by the sudden clumsiness of emailing files.
