Unfriendly? To whom or what, and who are you to make such declarations (nothing personal though)? I think it's the user's choice,

precisely. so no software should change the rate without asking the user. it should assume that there is probably a reason for the current rate setting, and not blindly override it with its own notion of what the rate should be

No, no, no. What we're talking about here is an option for a specific programme that will be installed/activated for the very reason you're hinting at. It's not system-wide, it restores the entry state as soon as playback is stopped. But while a song plays, the hw rate is set to match the song's rate for the very good reason that that's the only option to get the best sound quality from a given media file. Nobody has to use it, those who don't probably have good reasons for it, which doesn't mean those who do are in the wrong.

All this has nothing to do with my original question - unless I have to take it as an implicit answer that iTunes is a worthless POS anyway compared to the likes of Foobar2000 that already provide the functionality I'm looking to port?!
