    By making the iTunes window so small that you can't see the display, it only uses half as much processor power.






    I don't know... still uses 9-12%, even in the dock. way too much...

    You forgot to mention that in this case iTunes constantly skips which is why you don't want to give it a low priority at all.

    I'm using a 500 mhz iMac, summer 2000 dv se, 1 gig of ram; using 10.2.5.

    At the moment, I've got 9 apps active, including iTunes (go Tom Waits!) ... I don't know how much of the cpu is being used, but everything is pretty snappy.
