Igor, There's no fight involved.
I have nothing to do with the implementation of iTunes. I don't like it very much either. I've filed well over 150 bug reports about what I consider to be seriously horrible problems with it since it was released a decade and a half ago. About 60 of those have been solved, and another 40-50 have been obviated by changes which eliminated the thing that was causing the problem. That means it still has well over 40 outstanding bugs that I have reported and am still tracking. However, I use Audacity all the time, on OS X. It is a sound editor, not a media management tool. It's nowhere near as good as iTunes at converting 10,000 songs, which is a media management problem not a sound editing problem, and it doesn't produce the same quality as iTunes unless you know the special settings and incantations that make it work best. I know: I've done it and tested the results, with my brother (who just happens to be a well-recognized, award-winning recording engineer and sound wizard). Case in point: I have a little AV project that I'm working on and have about 650 clips ranging from 4 seconds to 5 minutes in length in WAV, AAC, and other formats all in my iTunes library. When I started writing this response, I told iTunes to make new versions of all of them in MP3 format. It's completed the job, and I just moved them all, en masse, to the disk drive that I need to carry to the office. Total time spent: eight minutes. If you (or Rick Womer, the original poster) are working on Windows platform (which I wouldn't use if you paid me to and have certainly never used iTunes on) and dislike iTunes, want to use Audacity through whatever oddly constructed notion of batch processing you want to contrive… more power to you. I don't care. Thanks for your heartfelt response. Love, kisses, and hugs.
