HELP! I cannot rip/import/add songs to ITunes all of a sudden, the damn thing freezes. Sometimes i get an "Error 51" message, sometimes just the endless beachball. Also, my last 2 weeks worth of rips (in AAC) have vanished from hd.

This is another letdown w/ 4.5; previously i could share my large (90gb) library w/PB, since installing 4.5, i can't.

using old style IMac w/LaCie ext f/w hd.

thanks in advance.

Go into preferences and make sure that the iTunes Music folder location is correct.
