I'm importing a gazillion songs over the network into iTunes. Every now and then, it starts playing the song it's currently importing. And because iTunes is basically frozen up during the import process, I can't actually stop it. Then it will suddenly jump to another song a bit later on.

Pretty irritating. Is it a known issue? Anything I can do about it?

Versions (oops): iTunes 10.5 (141), OS X 10.6.8

I guess it's possible if I manipulate… >>> More
