Old Listener, you have outlined very important usability issues, that often are not considered when choosing a system.

I'd give 10/0 to Itunes. Ten for intuitive interface and ease of use and Zero for audiophile use - Itunes does not support ASIO output.

Also, Apple database is very good, sometimes I am pleasantly surprised how some obscure recording get recognised. Ripping with Itunes with correction checkmarked is no worse than EAC.


I have compared Apple lossless playback in Itunes via asio4all and JRIVER MC11 Apple lossless playback via ASIO and MC11 is audibly superior. With WAV playback it was even more prominent.

I ditched Foobar because of ease of use, for someone who like it it may be a good choice sonically.
