I wholeheartedly agree.  I really miss the add/cue feature of os9 ... I 
emailed emagic about it when I first switched to OSX, and it didn't 
sound like they were working on re-implementing that functionality.  
what I've usually been doing is building my drum kit (say) with a 
standard bank of sounds, then replacing each sound individually as I 
progress through the track.  It's an imperfect system, and I do really 
miss the was this worked in 9.

Also, I occasionally do this in the finder with quicktime previews, 
making a new folder for the collection of samples ... hearkens me back 
to my old PC/Kurzweil K2000 days.  aarg.

We should start a petition :-)
