Perhaps I misunderstood you a bit here. If you are limiting your critique of iTunes to files beyond 16/44 resolution then I suppose there is reason to question its ease of use. But the bigger point about the Touch is that it's sound quality with 16/44 files is more than competitive with many high end CD players. The fact that it can play files with resolutions beyond 16/44 is an added benefit, but less utilized. Such files are a relatively small part of our libraries, with many people choosing not to purchase them at all. I guess what I'm trying to say is that one can fully appreciate (and therefore review) the audiophile qualities of the Touch with or without files above 16/44, and therefore with or without iTunes.
