This is a 3 star music player.
Which it has been since iTunes 4. It may be many things to many people but for me it is a music/podcast player.
I review it as such, since all other functions are either superfluous to me or just annoying.
I'd recommend this as a music player, but of course if you have an iOS product or iPod, well who cares what is recommended - this is what you have to use.
So its sole remaining competitive function is a music/podcast player. Why just 3 stars? It doesn't support all common formats, not lossless or WMA or FLAC etc.
It is distracting to use with all the features that have nothing to do with playing music/podcasts. Perhaps this is the "best" way for Apple to make the program, but it just doesn't help it. It's annoying, distracting.
Customizability is low, not nil, but low. Some plugins can be added, but it's neither made easy nor actively encouraged. Customizability of the app itself is practically zero.
The good: it plays music files and uses surprisingly little CPU.
It is also remarkably stable. Don't recall a crash in years.
Of course I give it only half a star in the ratings because of so many undeserved 5 star ratings, given just because ...

- You can use iTunes as download center and use another music player (or sync tools for iOS, but now with iCloud it's not a real argument).
- Why iTunes will play WMA or FLAC if Apple don't sell it or make the ability to use it on a iOS device. If it's important for you, you can use an other player.
- Some of "All the features" can be disabled in the Preferences.
- Customize what ?! Winapp for Mac can use Skins and play WMA if it's your desire.
Yes, iTunes is my friend, a friend from every day from long years.

Not entirely true. It will play lossless files such as AIFF and Apple Lossless. But iTunes is really a front end for the iPod. The iPod does not play FLAC or WMA files. So why should iTunes support those?
It's very simple to covert things like FLAC and WMA.
I find iTunes does what it's supposed to do, and runs my household music system, in three different rooms, on three different Mac's, all sharing the same iTunes media files. Currently that's over 18,000 tracks.
So since you pointed out how well it plays music, and doesn't crash, the rest of it really doesn't matter. Apple stopped letting people customize things a while back in favor of stability.
For files it doesn't play, just get xACT and covert them.

The second thing missing is the ability to rescan for external devices such as an iPod, iTablet or iPhone. I have iTunes set to boot on start-up and every now and then it will not see my iPod although it has mounted on the desktop. They need in the menus an order to rescan for secondary devices. This would save a great deal of time instead of having to quit and reboot iTunes.
One last thing is I wish it would take lossless files such as aiff files. I have to use Visual Hub to transfer any file that iTunes will not take (video or just audio) and convert and move it into the iTunes Library. BTW I am working with VH 1.3.5 and it does work a bit better that 1.3.4. Good luck on finding a serial number for it. It took me days searching the web to finally find one that worked. End of Line...

second thing: can´t help :(
thrid thing: Xiph-Plugin or Perian may do the trick. A good standalone audio converter is XLosslessDecoder.

would not be so bad if Apple EQ wasn't just sh*t.

For some reason, the latest version of iTunes causes a continuous stream of locationd accesses - the process central to Apple's Core Location service, used to pinpoint where you are geographically using WIFI. What I can't fathom is why iTunes needs to know where I'm located. There doesn't seem to be a way to shut this off, and as long as locationd is running, it tries to access the network every 10 seconds (using up 5 seconds for the query and 5 of idle time) as well as a chunk of my usage quota. Anybody else notice this? Anybody know how to fix it?

Also notable is that when the video window first opens, it displays a jumble of recognisable bits and pieces of previously displayed information (from FireFox, various applications, etc.), which disappears after 1-2 seconds. It's like it's dredging up old data from the video RAM and displaying it before it resets.
I can still listen to audio of any duration - I've even tested it on hour-long files - and I can still view the videos fine directly on the iMac, I just can't access them remotely now. Since I cannot upgrade the iMac any further, does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with this? I'd rather not downgrade my MacBook Pro to v9.2.1 again, but I'm not sure what other options I have; the latest upgrade to 10.2.2 saw no improvement. Any help would be appreciated.
