For an larger chunk of users iTunes' terrible music library management is also a non-issue. By the way it should be noted that one highly praised audiophile music streamer which relied on the useless DNLA streaming protocol has already bitten the dust: The Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC http://www.audiostream.com/content/musical-fidelity-m1-clic-universal-music-controller http://www.stereophile.com/content/musical-fidelity-m1clic-universal-music-controller My guess is that the Auralic Aries music streamer will be discontinued even before all the usual glowing reviews hit the newsstands.
