Hi,

I am using the latest iTunes 10.4.1 64bit for Windows. I have my library stored on an external USB 3.0 HDD. Just recently iTunes takes forever to process anything.

If I want to convert an album to lossless it takes 20 minutes.

If I want to add a video to my library and put it in TV shows using 'media type', it takes hours for say 100 files.

If I want to change the album name for 10 files - again it could take 5 minutes.

This has only happened recently. Never had problems before. I thought my library might be corrupt or had a virus so I formatted my pc and did a fresh install and reimported my library but the problem still exists.

Anyone else have a similar problem or a solution for this? Is this a problem with this version of itunes?

Thanks
