Remote Desktop + iTunes 4.6 = Crap

I live and work on a campus wired for 10 mbps. I use RDC to access my
PC and listen to music and stuff. I have tried to use iTunes (my
default music playing app) but it sounds like shit...really slow and
staggered, like playing music when something is crushing your
CPU...except nothing is. I can use winamp or WMP just fine, but iTunes
doesn't work.

Any ideas? Here's my system spec's:

1 gig ram
3.2gig AMD
2 30gig hdds
1 40gig hdd
Asus A7N8E-X deluxe motherboard.

Not an uncommon complaint. TS/Remote Desktop doesn't handle this sort of
thing well in any current incarnation, AFAIK.

I got it working! All that you need to do is to keep iTunes open, and
when you remote in, close iTunes and reopen it. Thats it!

NOTE: This works on the latest version. It might work on earlier
versions, but I don't know.
