I don't even listen to my music at the gym, it's a pain having to mess with earbuds.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I barely ever listen to music on my iPhone - I prefer podcasts and lecture series.

Yeah, I don't rate things in iTunes either. Every once in a while I think I should, and then I get bored thinking about it after about a couple of songs. I guess ratings would be handy when I'm "packing" the iPod for a trip, but that's such an infrequent event.
But I mostly listen to podcasts & audios. I can see how it'd be handy if was a big user of shuffle or smartlists, but I'm not; if I am playing music it's usually because I want to listen to something specific.

I haven't been listening to music lately (though I do listen to a lot of podcasts), but I assume that will pass eventually and I will want to finish importing my CDs into iTunes and maybe rate my songs. I can see how that would be useful even though I cannot, at this point in time, be bothered to do it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't rate anything in iTunes because I still use Winamp to listen to music. How can iTunes not have a Jump feature where I just type a few characters in either the song or the artist name and hit Enter or add to a Queue? Hell, why is there no way to just add songs to a Queue anyway? Also, why can't you stop, only pause?

I've love to replace my 17 year old Civic with 195,000 miles, but it runs well and is still pretty reliable. Maybe in a couple of years. There are a lot of really nice small cars coming out and in couple of years maybe I can get a lightly used one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I used to love Winamp. I liked all the custom skins you could download, and I think it's prettier than iTunes.
But one thing I love about iTunes is it keeps track of how many times I play a song, when it was added and when I last played it - I use that data for many of my playlists.

I replace cars only when they are beyond hope. I am not the sort of person who replaces a car voluntarily, never have been.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's a queue? And why do you need to stop, versus pause? Where do you want the audio cursor to be reset to?

iTunes has a Queue-like functionality in the iTunes Dj. You can even add to the queue-thing using an iPod touch, iPhone, etc.
