Answer 7

Yes. When you're doing two things at once it can slow your computer down. If you have too much music get an external hard drive so that you can put it on the external and delete it off your computer. However, if you don't have an external don't do this yet. Otherwise, it will free up space on your computer making it go faster.

Click The Performance Tab And Look At The Cpu Usage (It Shouldnt Be Anything Steady Over 50%) Gl.
