This comparison reminds me of the software comparison between SoundJam and
iTunes.  How DID Apple take over such a superlative app, which if left to
Casady & Greene to keep developing it, would've been a strong contender for
the best of its kind on any OS, and turn it into the seriously deficient
iTunes?
