In a recent poll, Macworld UK readers were asked what features should be added to iTunes.
“The most popular choice was a means of automatically identifying and deleting duplicated songs (26 per cent). One reader suggested Apple could add a “flag duplicates” option.
Close behind (21 per cent) was the ability to mix tracks like a DJ – offering iTunes users the opportunity to create professional-sounding party playlists. One reader said: ‘It would be good to incorporate some sort of DJ mixing facility and beat matching. iPods are already being adopted by DJs, and this would further raise the Apple profile in that area.’”

I’d like to be able to use my winamp visuallisation plugins with iTunes. The Visualisations that come with iTunes are ok in my humble opinion, but I’d like the option to use some of the hundreds that are available to winamp users. Particularly me favorite - Acidspunk. Then there’s the dancing stick figures (my fav being the George W Bush dancing stick figure.)

how about a playlist that pretends to be an album (or at least be stored in the artist field) - why? cos then when i have all the albums of a band, and then they release a ‘best of’ I still want to be able to list the album, but don’t want to duplicate the songs (waste of space)... i can then make a play list using the tracks already on the pod… and store it as an album.
you need the band to tell you which songs are your favorite?

I would like to see multiple libraries like mac versions can have, this way if you could have a library for a genre or upload a certain library 2 ur ipod. Then if your library exceeded your ipod you can split it up

Top 5:
1. Two check columns. One for ipod and one for itunes
- I listen to itunes all day at work but because my library is so big the ipod limits what i can have checked at once.
2. Hidden-right click menu option with hot key to check and uncheck songs and the ability to do this in groups.
- checking one at a time is rediculously hard work.
3. Remove gaps between songs.
4. A fade songs option for ipod also.
5. More advanced smart playlists.

“how about a playlist that pretends to be an album (or at least be stored in the artist field)”
Media Center’s playlists can be used exactly this way, as inputs for the Smart Playlist rules. It rules!
