I don’t think I need to give a long introduction to iTunes as many consider it to be the best digital music manager and player available today. MakeUseOf has even dedicated an entire PDF Manual for it: The BIG Book of iTunes. But even the best will still have room for improvement. I was looking [...]

Most people would agree that iTunes is one of the best digital music players available today. There are tons of great features that lie beyond the beautiful and intuitive interface.
