[QUOTE="Dizzyrocks2001, post: 1661930, member: 354276"] Update: I tried the Fusion drive thing and it didn't solve the problem. So I've narrowed down what the problem is - OS X doesn't play nice when it comes to indexing large folders.... period. I keep all my mp3s in one big "Music" folder which contains about 33,000 songs. I made a smaller folder on the same drive with about 100 songs and there were no problems at all, but as soon as I tried moving anything around in the big folder I had major slow downs. BUT when I tell Spotlight to ignore the big folder then everything works fine. So until Apple figures out a way to index big folders more efficiently then I'm stuck with telling Spotlight to ignore the big folder. [/QUOTE]
