[mythtv-users] Mythmusic - CVS and other scary things

[James Armstrong]

I have this same problem. I was running a Athlon 900. With a big list of 
mp3 from a shared drive it would show the list quickly and I could 
select some songs, but when I went to play them it was really slow, like 
keyboard not responding, took foever to play then I could not do 
anything else with the session without going to terminal and killing it.
