Move a File in the Finder
Sometimes you want to move a file in the Finder across volumes, not copy that file. Holding down the Command key while dragging ensures that the item is copied, and then its original deleted, adding up to a move.

DealBITS Drawing: disclabel from SmileOnMyMac
If you burn a lot of CDs or DVDs, you should take a look at SmileOnMyMac's elegant utility disclabel, which helps you design your own professional-looking stick-on labels. Even if you prefer not to stick stuff on your discs, you can also use disclabel to design jewel case inserts and DVD case covers for printing on commercial stock. You can buy labels from within the program, print to direct-to-disc printers like the Canon i875 and those from Epson, and print on plain paper. disclabel imports track lists from iTunes, can be automated with AppleScript, imports images directly from iPhoto and iTunes, and lets you include and edit text in a circle. disclabel requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
