I just scrolled through all of my album covers in iTunes and then decided to check the memory usage.

I am curious how much RAM is being used, by iTunes, on other people's computers.

Post a screenshot of your usage.

EDIT: It just used another 30mb. I haven't added any new songs or changed any artwork.

    Graphics Driver - 190.38
47,000 when idle and 50,000 when playing music
although that looks a lot its not really a lot when you convert it MB
50000k is only 48 mb so look at the difference and if you have several gig in ur system you wouldn't even notice it

However when you compare your results to mine urs does seem to use quite a bit extra
