Another thing about iTunes just came to mind – there’s no way to list the filesystem path of the files without individually selecting “Get Info” for each one! That’s another general gripe – thinking I don’t care where my files actually are. I can understand how it might be confusing to beginners to have to care and why it might be useful to abstract that away, but don’t stand in my way if this is actually important to me. There is zero justifiable reason why real file path isn’t an option for one of the columns. After all, the file does live somewhere.
Apple has been very good at the “Make it easy for beginners…” part, but fallen down horribly on the “but also make it easy for the experts” part.
