iLife '06: What you'd change

Last week, we asked what you'd change about iLife '06, and we got some great responses. Here are a few highlights.

iPhoto was a big target. A number of you complained about sluggish performance and occasional crashing. Mark H. writes, "Make the weird iPhoto file structure optional. Give us the option to use a normal file structure, like Picassa (a wonderful program, way better than iPhoto IMO) and GraphicConverter. I don't care if switching to the normal file structure makes it impossible to save originals;
just disable that feature when using a normal file structure
." There have been times when I (foolishly) tried to search through my iPhoto library without launching iPhoto. I soon got annoyed and launched the application (but that's what it's for anyway, right?).

A few people called for a podcasting application, a WYSIWYG web editor and an honest-to-goodness blogging tool, integrated with .Mac. Gabe had a good idea regarding AirTunes: "Allow me to stream music wirelessly to more than one Airport Express.
Or, at the very, very least allow me to stream to one Airport and play through the speakers on the computer simultaneously. That function is almost useless to me without the ability to stream to multiple sets of speakers. I would even buy a faster Mac if it were required as long as I could do what I want
."

Thanks for all the good suggestions. We'll have to wait and see what Uncle Steve has up his sleeve in January.
