I'd buy into it if (2) I didn't have a number of other computers on which I'd like to play my tunes

I had a similar issue but figured out I could share my library and access it by any other computer on my network running iTunes. (I've even heard that a mac iTunes can access a win iTunes library and vice versa).
So far, I really like the application and the ability it gives me as a player to drill down into genres, artists, etc to play music and the ability to select multiple genres to play. I also let it take control of my MASTER mp3 storage and I was actually quite pleased about the way it organized my files.
verdict? Kudos to Apple
