Ok here's the deal, I just built a new computer and I wanted my iTunes library on it. I exported Library.xml, and changed all of the directories to the now networked directories. I imported my new Library.xml into iTunes and everything is there; the music, ratings, play counts, etc. The problem I am having is that when iTunes plays a new song (from the networked computer) I get about 4-5 seconds of computer lag. This only happens in iTunes and not in foobar or winamp. I know someone's going to tell me just to use foobar or winamp, but I use the smart playlists in iTunes a lot. The only thing I can think of to help is to speed up network access. Will that work, and how would I go about doing it? Thanks..
