sounds a bit contradictory...standardized functions ? do you want randomized
filetypes ?

also sounds like the concern is with the interface rather than the music. I
don't want to 'communicate' with iTunes...i want the interface to be
transparent. works fine for me.

and as far as exploiting processing power, that's why i use
reaktor/soundhack/logic, etc.

err...isn't it ? not sure that i get your argument (but i want to)...what is
it that you want, exactly ? do you have any examples ?
