Don't ever share one iTune library by two environment

Sometimes you have to try something in order to realize that something things just doesn't work as straight forward as you expected. Take iTune for example. I was expecting that both Mac and Windows version of iTune use the same kind of iTune Library structure. Turns out that was NOT the case. In fact, everytime the Mac iTune sees that "something" touched the library (in my case, the Windows 7 iTune application) , it will try to Update the iTune Library. Search the term "Updating iTunes Library", and you will realize that the whole process takes freaking HOURS, which is exactly what I am experiencing now. So from now on I will let the iTune stay in one environment. Notice that have different iTune on differnt machine pointing to the same iTune library doesn't seem to have THAT much problem (still caused a little bit update time, but not like an hour plus.)

Interesting enough, while iTune library is updating, I can still use FrontRow to listen to music. Odd.

Yet another discovery: on Mac, since all text are unicode, the Traditional Chinese text (Big5 encoded, I think) now shows as garbage, while those really Unicode Chinese song title still stays OK. Sigh, guess I need to reorganize the iTune Library someday.
