The whole point is to be able to say to your 40 Gb collection "make me a playlist with these artists, this long, which I have personally rated between 3 and 5 stars, in this genre, with stuff that I have not listened to for 2 weeks".
That may currently be a killer app, but won't be for long. It wouldn't take much of a change to Winamp to make it quite easy to create the playlist you wanted - basically you'd have to be able to put a playlist into the "media library" view so that you can sort it by rating, chop out those below 3 stars, sort it by genre and chop out all the ones you don't want etc. Other media players will be copycatting iTunes soon enough.
