Does anyone know why iTunes is the only app left (that I can find) that still uses Classic Mac OS directory seperation, i.e.:
Users:MYUSERNAME:Music:iTunes Library:Wonderfulsong.mp3
rather than
/Users/MYUSERNAME/Music/iTunes Library/Wonderfulsong.mp3?

It took me a long time to figure out what it was (I have never used Classic Mac OS) and I'm sure it's confusing to a lot of other people to. I found in some dev manual that this is a legacy option kept so as to not confuse old Mac users but Mac OS X is almost ten years old. I'm pretty sure they've gotten used to it.
