Actually, I often use this one along with other "things-that-we-can-do-now" music-related use-cases, as I find people tends to like it: anyone would have struggled with its iTunes (or whatever) library at least once. I often find that use cases work better when it relates to things the public experienced in the past. Big sci-fi use-cases tend to work a bit less. I had the feeling the journalist *was* actually impressed by this use-case, btw?
