I am not experiencing the same issue and I run my itunes library from an external drive. sometimes it says busy for a split second and then continues if I'm skipping a lot of songs at once, but on the whole it works absolutely fine. I have about 60 gig of music too, running a partitioned external drive, no issues whatsoever.

So then is the Mac that finicky about using external drives? I find that hard to believe. If that's really the case, it's very disappointing.On Sep 5, 2009, at 11:26 PM, David Poehlman wrote:it's because it is accessing an external source.

Any key that I press takes a good five seconds to respond and I get "itunes ready" and a lot of busy. Any ideas on why this might be? Should I go and delete the itunes folder from the library on the hd and start over? I've never seen anything so slow.
