I can't tell if your original comment was more than a rant. In some sense you own those bits, but not in a way that is useful to you. Starting with just the bits, it's going to be a lot of work to make iTunes skinnable, and you likely won't be able to distribute your changes legally.
It seems similar to ranting that Miles Davis has recorded all of these long boring solos on _your_ CDs. You could spend your time editing them out, you could demand an edited reissue from the publisher, you could just listen to something else, or you could learn to play trumpet and record something you'd rather listen to. The least useful option seems to be posting to HN.
