I have a computer at work and at home and I don't always remember to take things home and I don't feel like buying it a second time. frustrating.

"Validity" is completely relative to the person. I disagree that the shopping cart should be used as the "Save For Later" feature. You don't walk around a grocery store and throw things in your cart that you want to look at later. A shopping cart is for things you either want to buy or are extremely certain you will buy...not for storing things to check out later. @FunFred: Actually, all my points are valid. “Validity” is completely relative to the person.

You already have a Save For Later feature. It is called a shopping cart. You can add the music/videos to your cart, then decide if you want them later. Eh, yeah, I guess I could see a need for a customizable interface. However, Apple wants to remind you that you don't have a game-playing iPod or an iPhone for ringtones, so they probably won't let you remove those things. So, I would say Tabbed Browsing is really the only truly valid point here. I think tabbed browsing is a great idea, and may come in handy sometimes (although I am not quite sure just how often).

I’m constantly getting recommendations of tracks that I already own (whether I own the entire CD or otherwise). Why can’t I stop seeing these (and seeing more that I might actually have a chance of wanting to buy)? The two things I’d really like to see are both in the “Just for You” section:

The RealPlayer Music Store has been doing this since day one. 2. I'd like to be able to view all of an artists' music, not just what's available (like the RPMS). 3. Why does browsing to another page stop the audio preview? You guessed it, the RPMS has always offered it. 4. Previewing an entire album with one click is an excellent idea. 5. I wish they would use word capitalization on its audio tracks like every other person in the world. 6.

You can drag and Song previews from iTMS into a playlist (in my case called Wishlist) and it keeps the 30 second samples arranged like any other playlist. It's a nice way to help keep track of potential purchases.

Each item in the source list is like a tab, adding a second dimension of tabs would be too much. As far as favorites, you could just drag the links you want to look at later to your Desktop. I don't know about customizability either. I can't get to the comedy section of my local Blockbuster without first walking past the Drama section. But at least I know where the drama section is if I ever need something there. I think tabbed browsing would complicate things.
