• itunes 10 realy slow
    11 replies, posted
i had this problem with all my previous versions of iTunes. i have a 207 GB (222.661.753.279 bytes) music collection thats all on a separate storage device in my network. when i use iTunes it just freezes randomly and is slow as shit. i can barely sync my iPhone 3GS it's not my computer. just saying before you guys say that's the problem. is there any itunes alternative WITHOUT jailbreaking my iphone.(i will lose my dev status if i do and i will just pay for 90 cent apps.) or is there any way to increase the speed. almost forgot: i'm running windows 7 64x
iTunes 10 is normally like that.
[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;25025816]I have a 207 GB music collection.[/QUOTE] Well there's your problem. itunes will take several years to load all that music.
would fragmentation help? [IMG]http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss186/Mega1mpact/Knipsel.png[/IMG]
There's no way you listen to all of that on a regular basis. On alternatives: I've heard good things about [url=http://getsongbird.com/]Songbird[/url].

Also, they don't 'revoke' your dev status if you jailbreak. Haha.
I have about 130gb of music and my itunes does/always has done that. I don't think iTunes is wrote that well.
iTunes works pretty fast on my computer and laptop. The only time it fails and starts freezing up is, for some reason, when it's determining gapless information or whatever. Sometimes that makes it freeze and take up to 30 seconds per song, which in a 2000+ song setup would take forever. Oh, and you can't do anything until it's done except mash the X button and hope it cancels.
[QUOTE=SA Spyder;25031634]which in a 2000+ song setup would take forever.[/QUOTE] This is where it went wrong for me, I have a 13,000 song library. [editline]01:11PM[/editline] there are few programs that operate fast enough to deal with that volume of songs.. I've found two Foobar and Tuniac [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuniac/[/url] Coincidentally written by my brother who has more songs than I do.
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;25031681]This is where it went wrong for me, I have a 13,000 song library.[/QUOTE] In total, I have 2773 songs. I suppose that [b]might[/b] be why it's fast. One thing's for certain: OSX runs iTunes a hell of a lot better than Windows. I assume Apple did that on purpose or maybe they just suck that hard at coding for Windows. Hell, OSX through VM (relax, I bought it) runs iTunes faster than my PC. [editline]03:45AM[/editline] A full-featured iTunes alternative definitely worth mentioning is CopyTrans. There's a paid version and a free version. The free version lets you put media on your device and the paid version lets you take media OFF of the device. The paid version has a trial. It lets you manage up to 100 tracks before 'expiring.' It just so happens that it saves the track counter in a simple .cfg file and when you delete it, it resets the counter back to 0 and you can keep using it. My friend made a .bat to auto-delete the file and it's pretty neat if you don't have an excessively large library of music on your iDevice and you're doing something risky with it.
[QUOTE=SA Spyder;25026811]Also, they don't 'revoke' your dev status if you jailbreak. Haha.[/QUOTE] still, i don't want to risk it. i singed a damn contract with apple and now they own my sol.
