The problem is that iTunes is just very slow at whose searches.
There may be another way, though I don't know how reliable it is, and it's
more of a pain. Instead of getting the database ID, get the unique ID:
my $id = $sometrack->get->getdata;
Then:
my $track = $remote->obj(
track => obj_form(formUniqueID, typeLongInteger, $id),
playlist => 1
);
That's very fast, assuming a. you can get the unique IDs, and b. they are
reliably consistent for you. (This was somewhat documented in the Mac::Glue
POD, using iPhoto as an example, for a different problem.)
Good luck,
