You could also file this under "fantasticAutomator actio that A le should've advertised when Tiger was being released."

A post at macosxhints has discovered a simpleAutomator action you can use to open panel containing your entire iPhoto or iTunes library (pictured), complete withalbums/playlists, DnD and even search abilities. This is for all those times you groan at having to start iPhoto justto grab an image or two. Bonus points for the iTunes library action: songs are playable from this panel.

Check out the macosxhints post for the drop-dead simple 3-step proce (it's really only two ste ) for creating thishandy panel.
