If you’re a musician and you use iTunes on a Mac or PC, here’s a useful tip.

You probably know that when you’re listening to music, the ← and → keys let you move between songs. Did you know that you can skip backward five seconds by hitting cmd‑opt‑←? Holding it down skips repeatedly, playing short segments as you go.
Likewise, cmd‑opt‑→ skips forward five seconds at a time.

For the Windows version, the commands are ctrl‑alt‑← and ctrl‑alt‑→.

Useful to remember when you ask yourself, “what was that that the pianist just played?” or you want to skip ahead to the shout chorus…
