Change to the 64bit version
Do I have any advantage, if I change from the normal version of beaTunes to the 64bit one? And can I still use the existing library with the 64bit version.

You can use your old library with the 64 bit version.
People with very large libraries can run into memory issues. For 32 bit processes the max memory limit is about 900MB JVM heap size. For 64 bit processes this limit is much higher — meaning those people may have fewer issues with memory.
So that's the advantage.
The disadvantage of the 3.5 64 bit version is, that it cannot use QuickTime to decode audio, as QuickTime is a 32 bit-only technology. That's the reason why some formats aren't supported. However, this will change with beaTunes 4.

Does that answer your question?
