Have been having extreme difficulty with slow operations of MC. Using MC 11.1.201. Restarted machine several times. No other programs are running. Searching through the library is a mix of slow waits followed by good responsiveness. But trying to burn a DVD is very troublesome. MC will stay frozen for hours. Any ideas? Here is my info:

I've been seeing this as well, esp. when updating tags. I've seen tagging 10 files take almost 1 minute, on an otherwise responsive system. Sometimes the operation just times out, but yields an error message that a subset of the tags couldn't be updated (with a dialog suggesting locking issues, read-only files). Retrying the operation tags all the files in 1-2 seconds.

I uninstalled 11.1.200 and reloaded older version 11.1.196 and now it works fine.

I'm planning on upgrading to 12, but don't want to until I hear back from the moderators. Should we fix this first, or just make the jump to 12? Or should I install an earlier version?

No idea what the problem is. Please check this thread for anything that looks similar:

Virus checkers can cause strange problems.

I reviewed all the items in the thread. Nothing there seems to fit. Disabling A/V didn't help any. This build is aslo sluggish when moving into a new edit field - it takes a couple of seconds for the edit text to appear in a view.

Could this post be related?

Not for me anyway - all files are local.
Its no longer an issue for me personally, as I've switched to MC12.

Build 201 is DOA. Having so much trouble with it that I cannot access my tunes anymore - locks up and crashed. Upgraded to 12.0.130 and everything is fine again.
(Great business plan!)

I am looking at 8+ hrs to refill a 20 gig iPod and that is a FIRST over the 5 years give-or-take, that I have used MC. How do I fall back to version 11.1 196? I couldn't locate beyond version 197.
I disabled the update tags option as somebody here suggested. The library was defragged. The iPod was initialized. Nothing major was running. My computer is < 1 year old.

Ok, I recant. MC 12 has the same issue. Tagging 12 tracks can take 1 minute... with long stalls... and then multiple failures. Retrying the operation succeeds in 2 seconds.
