I was prompted earlier today on my Mac to download and install 2 updates. I did so, and upon reboot I seen that iTunes had been updated.
Now, the new iTunes looks beautiful, but it's clearly not going to satisfy my desires because it has spent most of the day slowing my computer by "analyzing" files for gapless play - a feature that I don't want, and can't figure out how to turn off. I've already deselected crossfade in the playback options.
I have my iPod (60GB) set up to update manually (I prefer it that way), however whenever I move something from the computer to the iPod, it wants to go through the whole iPod collection and re-analyze for gapless play. With about 40 gigs of music, and about 3 or 4 changes daily - that would mean it will spend about 3 or 4 hours every day on this undesired "feature".
My question is in 2 parts, though I think I know the answer to the first, which is why the title is of the second part:
1. Is it possible to completely disable this gapless playing function such that it will not analyze any of my music more than it had done in v6? I don't want ti to analyze for gapless play in either my local collection or my iPod.
2. Asumming the answer to the above is "no", how can I re-download version 6, or whatever the last release was, and uninstall this version 7 i.e. downgrade back to version 6.5?
Thank you very much!
