For the store
Search by Label, this would not only help indie labels have more identity, but it would help people find more stuff that they might enjoy.
Search by Sub genre, Sub Genres clutter lists and make organization a task, but, for searchable items they can help narrow the gap.
Searchable features, for instance, the motown feature iTunes did a while back, it was an excellent collection of great motown tunes, but after its been on the R&B homepage for a while, it disappears, instead of disappearing, they should be logged to a "features" button on the left hand column.
Expand on AMG styled information in artists/albums..etc, it's pretty good now, but it could be better, more links, more bios, more credits, heck, maybe apple should team up with AMG and just mirror their info.
For the player
native support for Ogg and FLAC
Ability to organize categories by priority, e.g.
YEAR// ARTIST // ALBUM // NAME
First, iTunes sorts everything by year ascending or descending, then alphabetically by artist, then within the artists their albums are arranged alphabetically(or by year) then within that the song names alphabetically(or numerical)
Ability to quick label track numbers, e.g. Modifier button starts the sequence, subsequent clicks log tracks in order you click them, modifier button ends sequence, iTunes processes track numbers.
Ability to create playlists within playlists, or folders within playlist.
Ability to customize 3 primary browse tiers, instead of Genre Artist Album, granted, those 3 are pretty much the best, a little extra customization options never hurt anyone.
That's everything off the top of my head.
