[iTunes] iTunes behind the times

[Louis]

Am I one of the first to want to do away with CDs and
convert all my music to MP3s? 

iTunes's antiquated features makes this a dicey
proposition. 

iTunes not only provides poor filing/organization
options, the few options that they do offer (e.g.
playlists and folders) cannot be copied or backed up
to an external memory device. At least that i know of!
This is a major drawback. 

Does anybody know of a more up-to-date MP3 program
that offers better file management? And reproducible
file features? 

Thanks. 

Louis
