Brand new iPhone, but loading songs ...

Hi All

I finally drank the Kool Aid and got a 3GS 16gb two days ago. i like the phone, getting used to it. I made sure to get the latest iTunes 9 and the latest software update (3.1?)

Syncing my contacts, calendar and mail could not have been easier! I was very relieved when it all went in trouble-free.

Here's the problem i'm having...

When I try to import songs from my computer (PC w/XP) onto the phone via iTunes it's unacceptably slow - one song can take up to 5 minutes...and that's if it doesn't lock up iTunes completely. After a few minutes when i Ctrl Alt del, it tells me itunes is 'not responding'. If i end the program and start up again, i get back in - sometimes the songs i was trying to load are on there, sometimes they aren't.

I've had quite a few iPods hooked up to this computer and have never had this problem - it's only with the iPhone (or i guess it could be itunes 9).

I turned off the 'autofill' feature - i was thinking that might be the problem, but it hasn't changed anything.

I'm sorry I'm not a 'mac' guy. been doing PC forever and a day and this old dog knows too many PC tricks to start something new. please don't answer me with 'get a mac'. it's not helpful.

I will plant a solid kiss on the lips of anybody who can fix this problem.
