Music skipping on itunes

My itunes play back is horrible. my music is skipping and i know that it isnt my actual files. how do i fix it?!

Lol mine does this too maybe this is what apple calls quality. I my self am fed up with itunes. As soon as I figure out how to get my music into widows media player it is going bye bye. My problem among others is it will not let me burn to a disk. At least you only have the wonderfully skippy thing that is what quality music is all about.

Music skips with iTunes

Since I updated my iTunes, I've found that if I am typing or surfing the web while listening to music on iTunes (even if I'm doing something minimal), the music skips, does little repeats, and does other generally annoying perfomance crap-outs.
Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? I'm running iTunes 7.0.2.16. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'd hate to have to change music players.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components may allow you to install Apple Application Support.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:

Why is my itunes music skipping and how do i fix it?

my music is skipping when i play it, and it is not music that i have burned from a scratched cd, and it worked without skipping a day ago. it is not just one song, most of them skip at at least one point in time on the song. the only thing that i could think of that may have caused this is that the other day when i tried updating my ipod the cable fell out and so it was unplugged from my computer in the middle of an update, which is obviuosly bad, and then when i tried updating it again it got stuck on one song that i have since deleted. the music on my ipod that i updated works fine too. so could that have caused the problem, and how do i fix it?

Jeff, is the music skipping in iTunes? Or is it on the iPod?
If in iTunes, try this:

Music skips on Windows 8.1 64-bit with iTunes 12.1

Okay, this is probably going to sound strange, but its true.....
When I am listening to music in iTunes 12.1 and I have Google Chrome opened, the music skips. I can open any other application and not have that problem, just only when Chrome is opened. Needless to say, I switched to Firefox and now the music does not skip. Has anyone else experienced this?

I just bought music on my iTunes account and the files did not download completely. The songs play for a minute or so then skips to next song.

Music played in itunes skips

When I try to play music in Itunes the music skips and then picks up and skips again at about 1/2 second intervals. I think I need to deinstall Itunes and then reinstall but will this delete my library?

I need an answer, also. Played with the equalizer and now all songs play back with static and distortion. What to do?

HELP. new version of itunes made my music skip

I down loaded itunes 7 and now all my music skips/jumps. Any help PLEASE.
Thanks

let's first try working through the suggestions from the following document:
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly

I've never had problems with iTunes, but I recently moved to a SSD and now music skips.

Howdy all. I've recently replaced my Analog HDD with a Solid State drive, (Samsung 840 250GB) which is so much faster, but only problem now is when listening to iTunes, I notice serious skipping. I have reinstalled drivers for chipset, audio, optimized the BIOS, yet still experience skips while under processor load, and also when system is only playing audio. I had no problems with this prior to the SSD and all was solid. I have uninstalled iTunes, rebooted and reinstalled to no avail. I'm running a Dell Latitude E6500 with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz with 4GB DDR2 667. The SSD is a Samsung MZ-7TD250. All else on the machine is rock solid. Any advice on this? iTunes version is 11.0.4.4.

I don't have a definite answer, but by any chance do you have your hard drive encrypted? (e.g. Windows BitLocker, or a third-party full-disk encryption package)
Playing my iTunes media files on my laptop used to work perfectly. Ever since the full disk encryption software was installed, my music skips & buzzes (and sometimes just plays more slowly, which is really weird) whenever the files don't get decrypted fast enough. That's usually when other apps are also accessing files, maybe there's a disk access priority scheme that doesn't work as well when it has to funnel through the decryption driver?
Also, although my symptoms are occurring on a rotating disc drive, I've heard that there are some compatability problems between the disk encryption packages and the SSDs.

Music skips when im running itunes 11 in background

music skips when im running itunes 11 in background

After the 11.1.1 upgrade iTunes skips songs after a certain period of time. The skipping moment is different for a bunch of songs, but it's staying the same for each of those songs (one song always skips at 0:34, another one always at 0:05, etc.). When I manually set the "marker" right behind that moment the songs play through to the end. All the files are ok. When I drag them to the desktop and play them in preview or VLC the problem does not occur! There is also no exclamation mark or anything...
Any ideas anbody? I'm really dazed...

ITunes music skips only in iTunes

Okay, I have a pretty decent laptop and have half of my memory free on it, however, my music on iTunes constantly skips and I can sometimes press pause and play again and it will be fine or sometimes it just goes away but the problem will happen again. This doesnt happen in Windows Media Player or any other audio player but those dont play all the songs I have on my iTunes so I need iTunes. Please help me.

Hmm, that's what I did. I downloaded into WMP and listened to it to make sure it wasn't skipping like iTunes. Sounded fine. I had always used WMA but my girlfriend had changed it to MP3, so when I downloaded it into WMP I thought maybe MP3 wouldn't be the way to go. I am not sure how to confirm it is MP3 other than the drop-down under ripping has MP3 checked. I'll try it again ED, thanks very much for your advise in this matter.

Noises&skipping during music playback on itunes from ext drive audio files.

hello,
Since my itunes library it is getting too big (about 14000 songs & wave files) I'm using a maxtor one touch II 300gb ext hard drive & another ext 200gb where I moved only the actual audio files.
So I get weird noises, like electric noise or static, during playback & very often some songs just skip after a few seconds to the next song.
I tried everything: on the ipod these files are still bad, on cd as well & on pro tools the same...I can't get rid of these noises & skipping.
So I have the feeling that I'm doing something wrong setting up itunes with an ext drive.
Do I have to put on the ext drive the actual itunes music library.xml & itunes library icon from the int drive?
Or just the actual music & keep the original itunes folder untouched?
Which one should I choose as the main music folder location, int or ext?
Please help I'm lost & i'm losing so many songs during these days...
Thanks,

Hello,
thanks so much for your support:
I actually did everything but at this point I get lost...
# After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don't remove the iTunes 4 Music Library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder.
# Empty the Trash or Recycle Bin.
I don't understand if they talk about the iTunes music folder located in the internal hd or the one in the external one that now is the main folder for itunes.
Do I have to put the .xml & the music library icon on the ext as well?
thanks again,
Paolo

I recently downloaded music from the iTunes store but it doesn't play on my iPod

I recently downloaded music through the iTunes store and synched it manually to my iPod nano (5th generation) and while it shows up on my iPod when I scroll through my list of artists/songs/albums it will not play any sound if selected and will not play through at all. At the very best all it will do is skip ahead 1 to 2 songs. What do I need to do?
I think it's also worth noting that the songs work on my other devices (laptop and iPad mini) absolutely fine with zero issues.

I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

I lost my music on in my music folder on itunes. How do I get it back?

I lost my music from my itunes music folder how do I get it back?

I have also lost my Music in my Library on my Ipod. All I was doing was playing the music, went to play an older song and everything was skipping through them. Next thing I know all of my music is gone. My account shows that I purchased them, but nothing is there. I am upset because I can't get an answer from no one and that I have to pay more just to get my music back. I already paid for the music I should not have to pay for them to download it back to my Ipod!!! Someone Please help us resolve this!!!

My iPhone automatically shuffles all the music in my iTunes library.

Hi, I have a problme with my iPhone (OS 6.0.1) music app.
It automatically shuffles all the musics in my iTunes library no matter what I do. In addition, when I push the "forward skip" bottun, the music app will jump to other song, not the next song, as it likes. This means that my music app cannot play all the albums in my ITunes Library in proper order.
I want to listen to musics in proper order. Is there any solution to fix this problem? Other devices are working properly.

Yes. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod to your PC.

I would suggest the manual method over using 3rd party software, but the choice is entirely yours.
