ITunes 10.2.0.24 Crashes Adding Multiple Music Folders

Question

When adding more than one folder of MP3 music to iTunes 10.2.0.34, it crashes. The event occurs after the processing the MP3 files during the artwork or playback gap processing, its difficult to tell exactly.
The workaround for this appears to be:
Exit iTunes after each folder add and restart.
I have used this method (a pain to do, but it works) to add folders which caused a crash in iTunes when they were second folder added. It appears not to be the content of the folders, but some 'garbage collection' not properly occurring within iTunes. I tested this by:
Adding two folders (Folder A, Folder B)
Start iTunes, add Folder A OK
Add Folder B, crashes iTunes
Restart iTunes, remove Folder A music
Restart iTunes and then add Folder B OK
Add Folder A and get an iTunes Crash
I am attaching the errors from the event log of windows. These two errors are repeatable.

I'll also post this as a report to Apple Support.

Answer 1

I guess I should also note that sometimes it just crashes... just because.
So, get to fixin'.
No, seriously, fix it.
