iTunes 7.1 update crashes "updating iTunes library"

[mydogboris]

I installed the new iTunes 7.1 on my mac mini. When I started it up it came up initially and then up popped the "updating iTunes library" box. It got about 3/4 of the way over and crashed. I have about 1700 songs and a few movies in my library. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the crash log. ALSO ... I switched users and started up iTunes. It started up perfectly fine however it obviously does not have my music library to update. When I chose to "add to library" without copying the data over, it started to process and then crashed just like the other user account. I checked the memory and it is fine.

I would definitly suggest to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it.

When you said that you checked the memory, do you mean that you tested your ram? because if I were to bet on it, I would say you got a bad stick of ram

I opened the mac mini and pulled out one stick of ram. I booted up and tried to open iTunes and it crashed while updating library. I repeated the process with the other stick of ram and the same thing happened again. I also used Rember to check the memory and that also the memory was ok. I can delete iTunes however arent there a lot of preference files and such that need to be removed? How do I find all of them?

I actually found the problem late last night. When I observed iTunes "updating iTunes library" I noticed that it tended to crash around the same spot. I noticed that when it tried to update one of my podcast folders it always died. I removed the podcast folder from its' location and restarted iTunes. It updated the library perfectly with no issues. It was definitely an issue with on of my downloaded podcasts.
