2 questions

Post by kkomastah »

i have two rather simple questions.

Ok so the corrupt file means that those songs are unplayable?

and

The "search" feature....is that the fastest it goes or is that only for the trial version...cause i wont be able to use the program because it takes like 4 minutes just to look through all the songs and pick the one i searched for.

thanks

1) yes, corrupt files are not playable.

2) there must be something wrong with your computer.
how many songs do you have in your library?
do you have "update search results as you type" turned OFF?
what CPU and speed is your computer?

that's your problem

you need 2 gigs of ram AT LEAST when you have that many songs.
what's happening is you're swapping virtual memory like crazy, this is called "thrashing".

you need 1 gig AT LEAST just for the operating system.

me i have 4 gigs. the more the merrier.

if you're also doing DJ music i recommend MegaSeg but yes iTunes will work okay.
