Do you think the next iTunes might copy some of Winamp?

I hate itunes but the way things are going and winamp5 being a killer player......can only assume itunes will put some of the stuff on their nest release.

In my opinion, iTunes is a nice app. It has a killer media library and even has a built-in volume normalizer which is a big plus for me. It's not replaygain but better than nothing. The areas I think iTunes needs to improve on is the way it organizes your media library automatically unless you uncheck a certain checkbox. Plus as a ripper it needs to improve and give more options for file names because currently it limits the number of characters of file names to a ceratin number. It's even lower than 64 which is the max for the Joliet CD file system. I'm thinking they do that for iPod compatibility but I wouldn't know since I don't have one.

As far as their AAC encoder goes I think they should add VBR support like Nero's AAC encoder. And their MP3 encoder is just a joke and since they are pushing AAC anyway I doubt they'll do much with their MP3 encoder.

Umm... I'd move this to the iTunes forum, if only I could.
