But I DO have a major problem, in that it takes simply AGES to add new songs from the NAS to the iTunes library, whatever method I use (Add Folder, Add File, Drag/drop). And I mean up to a minute PER SONG!

I downgraded from iTunes 7 to 6, which helps a little, since 7 did the "gapless playback determination loop" which took ever longer, but still, it's very very slow.

Anyone know why this is and what can be done about it ?


How big is your library? The bigger your library, the slower iTunes becomes, especially if you are dragging things in. However, if you rip a CD, it is still fast.

I think it is an iTunes thing. I have a rather huge library, and it takes forever to drag files into iTunes to import. But, ripping a CD is fine.
