I share your opinion about Itunes : it's musical library has a very simple and effective interface. It's perfect to play music on a laptop or a desktop. In my case, there is no gaps in operas played on Itunes when they are ripped with CDEX/Lame. The problem is to use Itunes on on an external stereo system. In my experience, to connect a PC to a stereo amplifier generates too much background noises for classical music listening. That's the reason why I bought a SB3. I do not regret this decision!
