For a while, now, iTunes on my older desktop has been running slower than a Republican action plan. It takes forever to open and won't let me add any music to it. (I have a LOT already.) Since I'm using the Windows app, I'm wondering if switching to downloading it from the website (and then doing manual updates) would work.

Plays my ripped CD's and all kinds of created playlists. Best thing, it connects in my vehicles (via a BT dongle), seamlessly. And the stuff it suggests is truly awesome. Best consistent music experience of my life and, believe me, I've been following music delivery systems since way back when.....before 8-tracks.

2) Is there a limit to the amount of music you can have?

(1,955 posts)iTunes might not want to do this..... there were a lot of copy-protection issues early on. I'm not sure what the current state of the world is these days (and Apple's store downloaded music is no longer copy-protected).
But for a while you needed to either already be syncing the iPod with your computer (and/or iCloud) before it would consider your computer and the iPod to be part of the same pool.
E.g. a quick google turned up a couple of articles on this:
