iTunes 64 for windows 7.

Hey guys,

I've popped back to iTunes after a stint with winamp, and i've noticed that it's been using in excess of 1gb of memory...! :eek:

Any way to regulate this crazy amount of usage?

Thanks.

Can't think of anything sorry, but why bother using it when winamp does the same but better?

Are you sure there's a 64-bit iTunes? I thought it just included 64-bit drivers but the app was still 32-bit.

FYI my iTunes library is 20GB and it uses 80MB of RAM.

Something is very wrong. :/

Slightly echoing the above, but with a library of 8000 songs it is using 35MB after being used most of the afternoon.

I have around 12k songs at about 300gb in size in apple lossless, does this have an impact?

I was thinking it might be something to do with coverflow and scrolling through the collection or something, i could be barking up the wrong tree though.

Either way, somethings wrong

To answer the winamp question, i just fancied a change, and i like itunes interface more.

Does it peak when you are scrolling or is it using 1gb while your not doing anything?

Not doing anything.

To exclude the amount of songs from the problem.

- Remove all current songs from iTunes
- Create a new folder with say 200mb of music and then re-import it.
- Post results.

Mine idles at around 80MB and shot up to just over 200MB when quickly scrolling through cover flow. Less than 2,500 tracks.

Sounds about right. Mine is pretty similar too.
