Hi !

I would like to keep iTunes running all the time, even when nobody's working
on the computer (but the computer is On).

But the problem is : I don't know how to keep a program working all the
time, a little like some Windows' services...

Have any ideas ??

Thank you !

I'm aware of the Fast User Switching but I don't really like the idea of
letting a session open 24/7 just for one program.. that would slow down the
whole pc using issane amout of RAM (iTunes already use +-60mg while running
"normal")

I can't believe MS didn't tough of that ?
