Hey Jon, Nice post - great info. I too am running 64-bit Windows 7 and have a similar problem with iTunes freezing up, but only when I try to play the first song with in a session. I usually need to restart iTunes (sometimes twice), and then I can get it to play songs. Once it is working it rarely freezes up again during that session. I typically stay up to date with the latest iTunes version, but I seem to have the same problem with all versions. Anyways, I don't use an aftermarket indexer, such as Google Desktop, but I did check my current index and the entire "appdata" folder (and everything within it) is excluded. Do you suspect that this problem could be rectified by using Google Desktop, or do you think this problem is not related to the indexing at all? If not related to the indexing, any thoughts on what the root problem could be?
