Re: Possibly a stupid question...
Boy howdy, that's a really stupid question. you should feel ashamed of yourself.
I haven't used iTunes in a few years, but as I recall, the equalizer window cannot be docked to the main window, because of apple's user experience mandate. Most mac users expect their computer and iTunes to automatically make the music sound good. If it fails to sound good, the damn hipsters probably think it's time to upgrade the OS or better yet, get a new computer. I'm reasonably sure that the only people that care to use the equalizer in iTunes are audiophiles who are totally OCD about sound.
so you see, making the EQ dockable in the main window would suggest that Apple actually expects hipster ******bags to know something...anything about sound and good music, and use that knowledge on a regular basis.
Obviously, that is not the case.
