WinAmp sucks 0.5-5% ...max ...
Don't mean to cause a flame war, but it really need some optimization in this area.

I really really don't think it would be all that hard to implement. Programmers out there-- it would only take another level of encapsulation, correct? C++ programs, see what i mean? :
list< list<song> > instead of list<song>
<strong>CPU Usage ...iTunes just can't suck 10% CPU of a 733G4 ... it's just an MP3 player ...

Yep, I agree.
It slows my 333 iMac to a crawl..well it could be worse, but when itunes is playing things are as sluggish as they were with the Public Beta of X.
Only one more year until i get my new machine...
I'd like to specify 1 or more partitions / volumes, and have iTunes sync the library w/ the current contents of the specified source(s); I'd like a button, menu item, or key combo to trigger the re-sync at will.

I agree because I will be mostly using iTunes at school on my TiBook.

<strong>I'd like to establish a 'Favorite Streams' list (a nice feature of Audion's).

Maybe i'm misunderstanding, but if by streams, you mean the radio from the radio tuner, you can already do this. just drag the channel over to a playlist.
- I want to be able to rename all the actual files based on the ID3 tags for nice consistancy (i.e. so I can quickly locate the song on the drive). Building in/integrating the capabilities of AudiferousID3 would be way cool.
- I want to use iTunes to have actual file management capabilities. If I don't want it in iTunes, I don't want it on my drive. So when I delete a song from my library, also remove the file (the usual warning option should be present, of course). Currently I use the AppleScript that Apple put out <a href="http://www.apple.com/applescript/itunes/" target="_blank">www.apple.com/applescript/itunes/</a>, but I'd like to see this fully built-in. (Of course, iPhoto needs this feature more badly than iTunes ;-).
- Oh yeah, I second the "use less CPU" request, too! ;-)

This is why God gave us playlists.
I agree 100% with the advanced file management and this right here, which is IMO vital:
"I'd like to specify 1 or more partitions / volumes, and have iTunes sync the library w/ the current contents of the specified source(s); I'd like a button, menu item, or key combo to trigger the re-sync at will."
?Greatly reduce CPU usage
?LAME support
?Return all lost SoundJam features
?Get rid of the brushed-metal look (I can't stand it)
