I was hoping this update would give my 27 inch iMac a Retina display and convert my HD into a SSD. No luck. When will Apple ever get one of these updates right?

I'm surprised so many people still use iTunes. I became fed up with it last year when I realized that Spotify could find and start playing my local music faster than iTunes, and then, not only that, it could even find and play songs that weren't on my machine faster than iTunes could for songs that were!
Spotify doesn't even come close to what iTunes offers in terms of library organization and flexible Metadata-based editing, sorting and presentation of your music files. Especially if your collection also contains a lot of classical music. Even though it's far from perfect, iTunes is still the best that's out there.
