[iTunes] Re: iTunes Folder

[8p2uny2hgfk001 at sneakemail.com]

Perhaps we can hope and pray that when iTunes goes version 5 we get a 
fully cocoa version that is nice and responsive and gives more of an 
iTunes Pro for exactly this sort of advanced usage. I only have the 20g 
of music but the 60secs or so it takes to rescan the library just seems 
pointless.

just my 2c
