The last time i used iTunes was months ago, i'm on Rdio now. My workflow went more like this: 1. Open iTunes 3. Wait 1-2 minutes, literally. 3. iTunes has crashed, often taking exporer.exe[1] with it. 4. Restart iTunes and/or windows. 5. After waiting 2-3 additional minutes for iTunes to start up, it's now open and i can search for songs. 6. Search for the songs i want and buy them. 7. Enter my payment details as Apple has forgotten them again. 8. Wait 2-3 minutes while the payment is processed. 9. Something wasn't good enough for Apple. Change something in the huge form and goto 8. 10. Done! Download the songs. YMMV, this is just my own experience. For comparison, here's the workflow with Rdio: 1. Enter a song or album name into the search box, or pick one from my extensive library of albums. 2. Press play and listen to the song.
