I have now also tried Butler by going to "volume" and it simply launches whatever library is currently in use. Guess it's a no-go. And yes I do the "show all" thing. Just seems to me there could be an easier way.

I don't think you get what he's asking. You'd still have to relaunch iTunes to choose the library from the Open iTunes Library dialog. I don't believe separate open Finder windows with his libraries is what he's looking for.

He wants to switch libraries without the Finder being hidden.

Try this, launch iTunes, then hold the Option key down. If you hold the Option key down before launching iTunes it hides the Finder.

I think he meant Spaces rather than Exposé.

I don't use both so I am not sure - but I do think once you launch and an app or iTune library in this case it would remain active , right , don't need to relaunch it ?

Steve, you still don't get it guy. He has to relaunch iTunes since he wants to use different libraries at different times. You need to relaunch iTunes to choose the library, it then takes you to an Open dialog, not the Finder windows you have open, so open Finder windows with the libraries in different spaces won't help.
