Ask HN: History of iTunes Development

I've become a habitual user of iTunes on the Mac, mostly for cataloguing and playing my collection of music and videos. When I was working at Apple in the 2000s, the iTunes team had a reputation as some of the best at writing Mac application software. Their job was incredibly complex and challenging, and all things considered they pulled it off brilliantly. This team was also very secretive and well protected, even by Apple standards. Has their story ever been told? Probably not. If anyone involved wants to share, let me know and I'll compile a list of correspondents. Maybe some tech writer will rise to the challenge. Thanks.
