    I have a Crucial M4 and whenever I bring itunes up it takes like 10 seconds to load and like 5 seconds to close, not sure why because my friends Mac instantly loads it up and everything else on my laptop boots up instantly besides Alienware Command Center...any ideas?

    iTunes for Windows sucks, no offense and not trying to troll. It's normal

    Yep, I had a 2008 MacBook Pro, much slower in general than my m14x, but with iTunes it worked better.

    Well, maybe it is design to work on Mac much like most other app and game when port from Windows, But I found out that iTune is the best music player that improve the sound quality with using the equalizer. And for the AlienFX music visualization, it is way better than WMP.
