I think that Aristotle was talking about more than just ./music/Some\ Band/Some\ Album/01\ Track.mpg ...or the equivalent. With iTunes, I can easily say "every song from an album with 'Greatest Hits' in the title" or "every song that I rated 3+ stars and is not in the genre 'chick music'" and so on. It stores quite a lot of data about your music that can be used to build fairly diverse collections, quickly. Smart playlists, and the way that iTunes' data collection interacts with my iPods' data collection is what I really love about iTunes. (I have my own hates about it, too, though... mostly about the features it lacks. Those hardly count.) -- rjbsThere's stuff above here
