Itunes within Mojo

I set up all my media on the external hard drive, installed Itunes and now managing my IPOD from this itunes within mojo. Things are great. Except that if I want to listen to my song using the Itunes player within mojo I cannot. The quality is horrible. The audio stream breaks up heavily. If I play the same songs on the same external hard drive from the ITunes on my laptop, it works fine until unless my laptop is very busy doing some CPU intensive work. With mojo it always breaks up.
Not sure whats going on here, but if mojo is claiming support for ITunes this needs to be answered.

What does not work in Mojo Pac

Me and my friend Bindu have been excited about using mojopac to simplify our lives! Don't get carried away by the title, I love MojoPac its an amazing product, I am infact externalizing my work, personal content and apps into mojopac. However, I wanted to start logging what does not work with it, so that anyone who is trying to get into this will have a fair understanding on what works (which you can get it from the product web site) and what does not work.
Here is what did not work so far (some are related to specific apps and some are general issues):
  • Access to the network. We had to map any network folder to a drive to access it. Thats workable but still a bit of a pain.
  • When mojo is running on my external hard drive connected to my laptop and if my laptop goes to stand by because it ran out of battery, mojo does not go to stand by, mojo crashes.
  • Franklin Plan Plus plugin for Outlook did not work
  • Could not install Pinnacle Studio. The installer hung. This is kind of limiting when I am trying to externalize all my personal apps and data to mojo pac and external hard drive to maintain/manage all my media
