CD Skips when played or imported...

I am using iTunes v6.0.1.3 and am trying to import or play a CD, but every song on it is skipping. It is only this one CD and the CD works fine to two car CD players and two home stereos. It's only when in the PC (whether it's the DVD drive or CD-RW drive) that it skips. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Today's problems don't worry me,
I haven't solved yesterday's yet.
Dell Dimension 4600 Windows XP 30GB iPod

Its where the CD has DRM (DIgital Rights Management) on it.
Where like 90% of the world has a PC running windows, and windows comes with Windows media player, the record companys find it easy to make there songs only play in that player.
You can email the Record company and ask them how to get it to play in iTUnes and on your iPod (If you have one), but most will tell you you either can not do so or tell you what Im about to below.
1) What you need to do is rip the CD to your PC the way they tell you to. Since you have the song on your PC already and it plays fine in windows Media player you can skip this.
2) Use windows Media player to burn the songs/album to a blank CD.
3) Put the Burned CD back Into the PC, open iTunes and BEFORE IMPORTING/RIPPING you will have to manually enter all the info for each track (Like album name, artist, track name ect ect)
4) Once thats done just Import it and you should be done

Skipping when playing or importing music

ever since downloading itunes 7.6, anytime that i either play a song off a cd or import music into itunes, the song skips like the dick is scratched, but it plays fine in any other program. please help...

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I have found that sometimes when I continue use of the computer for other things while burning a disc it may mess up. If I leave everything be and just dedicate computer use to the burning of the disc until it is done it will turn out just fine. But that was on my old Flat Panel iMac. I don't think it could do too many things at once.

I tried diagnosing the compatibility and changed it to windows xp service pack 2, but it did'nt ffix it.

MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS

MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS AND THE SOUND GOES IN AND OUT. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Is the Battery level is low?
The harddisk might be dying, run the disk diagnostic, the procedure is
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
if it is too technical for you, but it does gives you the condition of your harddisk.
What's happening is that some songs are on bad cluster, which need to be moved or reallocate to good cluster.
To fix it in Windows simply run
chkdsk drive: /R /F
where drive: is the iPod drive ID. D: or E:
in Mac run Diskutilty -> FirstAid -> repair.
Good luck!

Lockup when playing or importing songs into iTunes 7.6.1

Have anyone experienced a lockup in Windows when playing or importing songs into iTunes 7.6.1? Not sure if this is a problem of the new version or something I need to diagnose with my PC. I know alot you guys probably have MACs so I would appreciate any feedback you might be able to lend. Thanks in advance!!!

UPDATE: When all else fails reinstall everything! (without offending PC users, this is an accepted practice around here for pc software issues.....sorry). Anyway, trashing the old Spin DR and Toast Titanium and reinstalling seemed to get me going again. Sorry to bother everyone.

Itunes skip through songs when playing or importing CDs

I have been using itunes for a while without problems. I recently upgraded to v7.1. When I now try to play or import CDs, the program quickly skips through the songs, but does not actually play or import anything. If I try to play the CD through another program, it works just fine. Does anyone have any suggestions of what might be going wrong? Thanks!

I agree with Dave - reinstall or update your drivers. If you need some directions on that, start here

CDS NOW SKIP WHEN PLAYING. ITUNES CRASHES. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

I'm about to go nuts! All of sudden my CD player skips and stutters when playing through ITUNES AND MEDIA PLAYER. I can SOMETIMES import songs, but then the entire system freezes up and crashes. I then have to shutdown and start the whole thing over again. I have UPDATED all of my drivers, reinstalled ITUNES, etc. Can somebody please shed some light as to what might be happening?

Amen! I have worked hard to resolve this issue. I tried EVERYTHING...until I tried the ONE THING that worked. I reinstalled XP. That's all it took. It all works better than ever.

DVD skips when playing on standalone

I have a Dual 2.7 withthe Pioneer 109 Apple OEM drive. Typically I burn 4-7 dvd's a week. For the last week I have had problems with the disc skipping or hanging. It's very sporadic on where it occurs on the disc and doesn't neccesarily do it at the same place on each player I use. Other discs I've burned in months past using the same media are fine. I have replicated this with 3 different types of media. Anyone have similar problems?
FYI: I use a high end Sony on one tv and I also have a Oppo 971 upscaling player for my HT projector. i also have a third Sony dvd in the HT room which also does it as well. So I've ruled out the Player as the culprit.
I'm thinking it's the laser when burning. That error correction is preventing the error from showing up when I verify it in Toast, but that the laser is slightly off track or unfocused when burning causing the poradic issues when playing in a stand alone.
Any other suggestions or experiences.

This may or may not be the answer you seek, but I have found that Mac Burners are very very sensitive to Media.
By this I mean if there is even a hint of a fingerprint, a scratch, of any kind, or a smudge, almost anything other than a pristine piece of media, both when burning and playback can and will cause.
Skipping.
Pausing.
Color fading.
Errors on playback.
as well as several other issues that can carry over to and show up on your computer as well as stand alone players.

Audio CDs skip when played on iPod

when playing audio books on a 20gig iPod I get occasional skipping _ no actual noise but silent spots which break up the speaking _ this will usually happen once or twice per book & usually toward the end of one of the original CDs _ but with a new copy of the Harry Potter "Goblet of Fire" audio CD the skipping is happening on nearly every CD _ tried redoing the CD's & the skipping is happening in different sections _ any suggestions as to what causes the skipping ? _ any suggestions as to how to prevent it ?

It could be a couple of things. Are you running the very latest version of software for your iPod and the latest version of iTunes? You can update these at Apples home page. Also, it may not be a CD/iPod communication issue. It is a problem most likely with the format between the CD and iTunes. You can check this by playing it from iTunes through your home PC. If it still skips there then it has to do with the Book to iTunes. Are you disconnecting your iPod after you eject it in the PC's software? If you disconnect prior it may mess up files,
songs and books that are on the iPod.

My itunes player on my desktop skips when playing songs. I have re-installed but the problem continues. I have Windows7 64 bit.

My itunes player on my desktop (Windows7 64 bit) skips while playing songs. I have re-installed but the problem continues. Any suggestions?

I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment. Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT. I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.
I'm spending a lot of time of research for WINDOW'S iTUNE with no solutions....

7.5.2 Update causing skipping when playing via AirPlay

Since the iOS 4 iPad update, I have been streaming music from my iPad to my AirPort Express from Pandora. There have been no issues with this until I performed the 7.5.2 update to my AX. Now, I am experiencing pretty consistent pauses/skips when trying to listen to music.
I checked my AirPort Express logs, and the only items I'm seeing that seem to be happening pretty frequently seem to be:
- Dec 18 18:51:43 Severity:5 Rotated TKIP group key.
- Dec 18 18:44:31 Severity:4 AirTunes stream from 10.0.100.11 stopped.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Interesting. I just set up a test and things to working ok for me (no skipping). Here is the test:
AirPort Express 7.5.2
iPad 4.2.1
Pandora (latest and greatest off iTunes)
My iPad sits about 7 feet from my AirPort Express. I am stream Pandora music through it (with the "Higher Quality Audio" option enable). My Express is set up for WPA2 PSK, Auto Channel and 802.11N (with b.g compatibility). I am also using Bridge mode since I am behind a NAT firewall already.
I know one difference between our setups right off the bat is you are using NAT (well at least I am assuming you are). Can you see any other differences in our configs? I would like to try an reproduce the problem, gather a wireless sniffer and send it to Apple via ADC.

Music burned to CD skips when played

When I burned my playlist to a CD, the music skips when replayed in my car. Any suggestions?

Make sure you are using CD-R blanks, not CD-RW, since the latter often have problems in normal CD players.
Also use a nice low burn speed, such as 2x. This selection can be made on the dialog that comes up when you request the Burn.

Please Help! iTunes 7.6.2.9 skips when playing while browsing with Firefox

Why does iTunes skip when browsing with Firefox? I don't have this problem when browsing with Safari or Internet Explorer. I have also contacted the folks at the Firefox forums, but they didn't have an answer either.
I have been having this problem since iTunes 7, and I have not yet received any answer that has solved the issue. I was previously directed to another post here , which discussed a workaround involving +Quicktime/Sound settings+, but that didn't help either. Please help!
Thanks,

Why do my Itunes files skip when playing?

Alright, I have noticed when I am playing music on Itunes that the files are skipping, usually within the first few seconds of the song beginning. What is up with that!?!? I purchase the files from Itunes. I am paying full price for the songs, but they don't play completely, not even when I load it onto my Ipod.
Any idea why this is?

Try showing the import options and make sure the crop option you want to use is one that is not grayed out.
