This has always been a major complain for me, Itunes is a pretty horrible program, I guess it only gets excruciatingly slow with a lot of music and files to index. I used to think it was my relatively crappy machine at the time, when I tried again on another machine (2.0 GHz core2 duo, 4 GB) same disgustingly slow performance. Completely unusable.
Only way to make it work without grinding to a halt is only indexing certain folder of music... great....
- modoc 18y agoAre you on Windows? I run iTunes on a pretty old G5, with currently 240 GB of music. It's never slow. Never hesitates.
- watmough 18y agoiTunes on the Mac, and iTunes on Windows are two very different animals. With any luck iTunes 8.1 should speed things up a bit for Windows users.
- windsurfer 18y agoI find that all the mac users I know are always waiting on the next update to fix some sort of problem. As an example, one of my friends cannot connect to a bluetooth network due to some bug that was introduced 2 years ago. It's too bad you can't go in there and, you know, jumble some plumbing around and get it fixed.
- ejs 18y agoThose were on windows with about 600 gig music and its painful. Really I have just stopped moving much music because of this reason, plus I only have windows on an older machine I don't use much. Last time I tried to use it under virtual box on ubuntu it didn't work at all because of USB issues.
