Well, to speak frankly, I will tell you; at least from my point of view. With regard to ITunes as a player, (and mind you I speak here strictly in terms of the layer itself), I can't argue with it. Well, almost. ITunes doesn't do ENQ. Okay, there's the ITunes DJ thingie I grant you, but, I can't find tracks easily with that, and, besides, I don't want to be adding tracks and files to the ITunes Library all the time just to make them easier to find. Now, we come to the real issue. ITunes is so damn library dependant. The ITunes library really sucks! Let's say I have the song "Life Without you" and it's in the .m4a for mat. Well, I have it on my hard drive; but, when I add it to my ITunes library, it creates a duplicate file of exactly the same size. That means I've got two copies of the file where as I only wish to have just one. that's a waste of disk space. The ITunes library is so cluncky it's beyond belief. I have numorous loose files which are not tagged and which I have no wish to add to the ITunes Library thus making unnecessary duplicates. Much better, so far as I am concerned, to have a layer which has ENQ and which can be triggered directly from the finder window. In short, you locate your first file in the finder, and, you can ENQ that file in to your player directly. Then, the next file and the next and so forth. The player would also allow you to directly control the cross fading between files and no lag time at all between files. That's just the start.
