Anyone else notice that the new version of iTunes is considerably slower and clunkier than its predecessors? Apple is turning into Adobe. When will companies learn that we don't want more lame "features" we just want super fast, light performance?

I read that if you trash the libraries file, effectively removing the music from the library, and re-add your music it helps. But also my library has about 150GB though, which from what i hear is kinda small.

Slow, could be the itunes tag line. Such a poorly made resource hog of a program. My experiences are on windows machines which im sure apple dont really care about.
WINAMP TILL I DIE!!!

For me, the slow part happens when I try to add music. Sometimes it will be fast, other time it just goes into an extended bout of paralysis, like I asked it to compute the meaning of life or something. Also the startup and quit times are a lot slower.

Uninstall, trash your itunes preferences and then do a fresh install.
- Sounds like you are starting to resort to Windows-like fixes,ETM

apple needs to rethink and reinvent the way their users manage and isten to music. libraries are only gonna get bigger and bigger.

I think the problem lies in the basic mentality towards software development (and this applies whether Apple, Windows, Adobe, etc). I imagine for each product release teams will sit around and brainstorm, OK what can we add for this release? In many case they end of breaking what doesn't need to be fixed.

The only good thing about iTunes is the airport connection.
Most of the times I use Vox, it's light and does its work really well.
