iTunes flickering when adding playlists

Question

iTunes flickering when adding playlists

HI all,

I have recently purchased a new iMac (iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), 32GB RAM, 4GHz i7, 3TB Fusion)

I'm trying to created a new iTunes library which will contain approx. 15000 songs.

Approx. every 5th or 6th playlist I create sends the screen into a crazy flickering phase which can only be stopped by either scrolling up and down for a while or shutting down and restarting iTunes.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas on cause or solution?

Many thanks.
