So you can no longer even normalize the volume manually.
I'm not sure when they broke this, but it was relatively recently.

It got so bad that I'm doing all my music with mpd now, mostly using nmpcpp for a frontend. The advantage is that I can easily control music from my ubiquitous terminal window, the disadvantage is, well, it's mpd. Works well enough for me, though. I only open itunes when I have to put stuff on my pod.
