diff between 10.4.11 and 10.6.4?

obviously there are UI differences and those are to be expected. most are for the good... however one thing I am missing is the ability to play audio files from the finder. I could play almost all audio files from a get info or even from the list view in the finder in 1.4.11. nada in 10.6.4. is this gone, or is there a way to turn it back on?

thanks

You hit the space bar. Works for pictures, documents, audio, etc.

OMG, What the heck?.. it works... who would have known? I mean, how would I have known? I mean, fan-f-in-tastic... but, how did you find that out?

thanks

Completely by accident in my case!

That’s one of those things that’s really hard to go back from. When I use a 10.4 machine now it really bums me out.

If you don’t want it on the spacebar for some reason, there’s an icon for the toolbar of the Finder windows. I can’t remember if it’s there by default, it looks like an eye.

If anyone is using a 10.4 machine check out an app called Taply. It’s a really small audio app that opens instantly, plays the file and then quits. I just assigned all audio to open with it and had an instant preview thing happening, even faster than the Finder.
