Import titles to iTunes - Slow

Hi!


Yesterday I installed the update 10.2.2 (12) for iTunes. Today i noticed that the importing of audio files to the itunes Database takes extremly long. (about 5 minutes for 1 song)

I didn't change anything in the settings of itunes. I'm managing the database on my one, so the files won't be copied to the Music folder of itunes.

The first time i recognised the problem was when i tried to import an audio cd to my Macbook Pro. It took about 10 minutes that iTunes began to import the CD.

After that i tried to import music from my harddisc. This took also very long.


Does anyone has a solution for the problem?


Thank you!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), iTunes

Ok, now comes something funny...

Today i ripped another Audio CD. It worked fine and really fast.

After that i added some MP3's to my collection and it ran really fast too! So i'm back to the normal speed of adding songs to my library without changing anything.


Today there was a update for fonts of Snow Leopard....Maybe this update erased the problem?

same problem here.

Very very slow to import files to itunes, just started after 10.2.2 update.


when I drag a folder or a group of mp3 files into itunes it will take about 30-60 seconds per song to import.

before it used to be like 5 seconds to import a song.


this is really bugging. I hope there is an update soon to fix this issue.


I did all updates and nothing solved.
