I would strangle a baby to make WinAmp available on the mac.
Seriously. Find out which infant I have to throttle to death in its crib, and I'll put on my murderin' gloves.
iTunes is goddamned terrible. Quicksilver makes it somewhat usable by providing the ability to use the keyboard to control it. Maybe there's a way to use a single key stroke to go forward/backward/play/pause, but for now I have to hit APPLE-SPACE, and then type "pr" for previous, "ne" for next, etc. That's not entirely miserable.
Of course there's no way to just jump to a song from keyboard, or even from iTunes, really. You have to search for a song, then select it from the list... and then make sure to clear the search listing, or it'll only play your search results.
And my god, I miss being able to queue up songs.
In conclusion, I fucking hate life, and all the supposed focus on usability fucking went out the window when it came to iTunes. Right now, it's only marginally more useful than just plugging the headphones directly into the goddamned iPod.
