Worked like a charm. Lately my iTunes took more than 3 minutes to start up. And then clicking a song brought up the spinning rainbow wheel for another few minutes. I can now play music from closed itunes till pumping tunes in 3 seconds!!! I love you!!! Worked like a charm. Lately my iTunes took more than 3 minutes to start up.

I use a pc and I used "alt" instead of option when opening. It seemed to do the trick - it just asked for my itunes password again - beware - each time. But still if kicka$$ speed is what you're looking for this should do it. Thanks! I use a pc and I used “alt” instead of option when opening.
