<p>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.<br>
So that's the advantage.</p>
<p>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.</p>
