[X4U] itunes Library Assistance

[Richard Smykla]

Be Careful, revDave.

Don't forget that by default your music library is now going to your 
User folder on the boot disk or partition of your HD. If you're 
getting into the last couple of GB of space, you run the potential 
risk of trashing your system as the HD struggles to find empty space 
for both your library and  its VM swap space.

Your 'slower and slower' comment sounds ominous, and could be due to 
the predicament I've described above.

Hopefully you've already ruled this potential problem out, but if 
not, a word to the wise. . . .
