No crashes, but the latest version of iTunes has been rather slow on my Mac.

Since not all users have problems, your best bet is to run some maintainance routines. Onyx is a nice, free application that removes outdated stuff in the system, fix disk permissions etc. Doing this after every OS and application updates helps you avoid a lot of annoying problems anyway.

At which point exactly does it crash? By just playing podcasts?

 

[DavieCee]

Does it crash while playing downloaded/ripped files as well as streaming?

Just wanted you to know that I'd tried iTunes this morning and it was running fine, so apparently not an iTunes server problem, although I guess it may be localised one. If worst comes to worst, try deleting iTunes application and reinstalling it.

But yes, OnyX is well worth trying: may just be your computer needs a general wash and brush-up.

Can I suggest you run a permissions repair on your mac via the disc utility in the applications folder. This may well sort out any glitches.
