Itunes Music Skipping - Comments Page 1

I am having trouble with my i-tunes music 'skipping.' I store all the music on an external hard drive. The few songs that I have on my computer skip also. What could be the problem?

EDITOR'S NOTE:Ummmm, low on RAM?

no because i have the same problem and i have 4GBs of RAM.

Same problem (horrible, 10 skips per song) on very high end laptop running XP Media edition. Same songs do not skip on iPod after transfer.

I'm having the same problem, it skips just like a damaged cd... and it has to do with the new version. I'm gonna see if I can use older versions of iTunes. There is no need to update to these 7 versions.

same problem. and i have 2gb of ram. nothing seems to work. problem is with both itunes and quicktime.

EDITOR'S NOTE: DId you try fiddling with the Quicktime settings? How about going to Oldversions.com to get previous versions.

.... and, i also note that it also happens on the audio tracks of videos that i view on itunes and quicktime (e.g., tv shows from the itunes music store) -- the video is fine, but the audio track is choppy and quickly falls out of sync from the video.

I continue to have the same problem. It used to be one of my favorite programs but that has changed drastically. i have tried all of the possible fixes listed on apple, the "quicktime fix" and the rollback. Nothing worked. (With the roll back, itunes store refuses to authorize the computer unless you have the most current version. Goodbye itunes!

same problem and I am running 1 gig of ram. Well have to wait for 7.1 with patch

The quicktime fix seems to work for me. 2 gb ram here too. Might download an old version just to double fix it :)

Problem sounds like its due to a low end audio device rather than ram issues. The wave out fix should sort it out. If you have any form of "onboard" sound device, AC97 etc you will probably have problems as the sound decoding is all done by the host cpu and not a dedicated hardware decoder on the soundcard. Most laptops use onboard sound sollutions because they are cheaper and save on mainboard space.. Go into control panel, go to quicktime and turn on the safe mode, otherwise invest in a better audio card.
