Should they change the name of iTunes?

I have recently watched a recorded YouTube video of Chris Pirillo on his first looks at the new iTunes 10. He mention in the video that iTunes is only about "music" so why is it called i"TUNES"?

Do you feel like Apple should rename this popular music software to something that suits it more. After all, iTunes has way more then just musical content.

1	I think they should, as Chris said in his latest video about iTunes, it controls so much more than just music. I don't know what they should call it though, that's for Apple to decide. answered Sep 03 '10 at 00:29 Windows7 (suspended)

If they called it something different, what would they call it, iMedia? Or worse iStream?

I'm not sure. This is why I'm asking the community. I wonder what everyone's thoughts are about this. I think it could turn out very interesting.

With iTunes being a long established name, I am not sure if they would want to change it. If the name no longer covers all they do, a name change may be a good idea if they can find a good one.

I was not even aware I could look that up, and I see that was an annoying mistake I normally would have seen, good fix.
