“They can keep growing the free iTunes in other directions if they want to, such as the App Store, movies, etc. But for serious music lovers with an appetite for pro-level music library management software, there needs to be an alternative.”
Great post from Betalogue, though I believe Apple won’t release such a thing anytime soon.
The problem is, music library organising isn’t seen as “professional task” (it is for me, I’d pay for someone to organise my music library. God knows how many times I wished I had a well sorted iTunes while recording with my band) and for this reason Cupertino doesn’t think people would ever need a pro version of iTunes. More important, they don’t care about the fact that iTunes has many problems and needs serious fixes, so it’s not all about “more actions”.
It’s about more stability. And of course, a pro look.
I’d love to have my own music encyclopedia.
