Hi Kliph, I very well could be incorrect, but, I’m understanding from your note below that it is your use of iTunes 12 where the extreme slowness occurs. I emphasized that the database management in iTunes 12 appears to really slow things down, even more than the other file movement activities, thus, your conclusion that you’ll wait until they fix things in iTunes 12 more or less underlines this possibility.
