The performance is affected only by the code in which I get information
about a track like : [track name], [track time] and so one. Is there a
way to get all the tracks instantly like an "automator" does? I rely
need a fast solution to get all the tracks and all information for each
of them from itunes.

Does it affect the performance if you comment out this bit?
if (![artist isEqualToString:@""])
if (![artistArray containsObject:artist])
[artistArray addObject:artist];
This seems very slow as you are walking your entire artist array for
every song you load.
This could be a lot faster if you used a dictionary, but as a first
test, just comment it out and see if it affects things.

If I have about 5000 tracks in the library mand it takes about 20
seconds to load all the track in my table view. Below is the code
that I use to load tracks.
while (track = [trackEnum nextObject])
{
id obj=[trackArray objectAtIndex:count];
count++;
if ([track databaseId] == [currentTrack databaseId])
{
currentTrackObject = obj;
[obj setValue:[playIcon image] forKey:@"Status"];
}
NSString *artist = [track artist];
[obj setValue:track forKey:@"Track"];
[obj setValue:[track name] forKey:@"Name"];
[obj setValue:[track time] forKey:@"Time"];
[obj setValue:artist forKey:@"Artist"];
[obj setValue:[track album] forKey:@"Album"];
[obj setValue:[[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:[track rating]/20
] forKey:@"MyRating"];
if (![artist isEqualToString:@""])
if (![artistArray containsObject:artist])
[artistArray addObject:artist];
}

I think Automator will be doing the same basic thing as
EyeTunes—using AppleEvents to get a list of all available songs.
Could you post the EyeTunes code that was too slow for you?
How slow was too slow?

I have tried EyeTunes framework but is to slow for what I am trying
to do. I see that from an "Automator" application it is possible to
get all the tracks from itunes library but how can I include this
functionality in my application?
Thanks.
