Not so sarcastic comment ;-)
I'd like to have an open system (I'm not saying FLOSS, I'm saying open
to competition), not because I want to copy files by hand, but because
I'd like competition, which means better products. iTunes is great in
selling me Apple's stuff, while it's rather poor (if not crappy in some
aspects) for what concerns the cataloging aspect (which I frankly would
care more). There's no normalization of authors etc.; and for a big
bunch of songs that I imported from my old CDs there are some blatant
errors in metadata, such as seeing "1. Andante" in the title of the
piece (rather than e.g. "1st Brandenburgische Konzerte") or whatever.
Back in 1995 I had better cataloging capabilities of my music (of
course, data entry was manual, but no other choice at the time) and
frankly I'd have expected much better stuff in 2010!!
