Stuttering audio with itunes 7.0
what's going on with my itunes audio. now whnever itunes is playing audio, if I open any other app, i.e. net browser, and use the scroll or perform any other activity, my audio starts skipping out - badly. never did before the 7.0 upgrade????
direct x, drivers, everything up to date.
thanks!
Ok. After alot of frustration and late night experimenting I have found that controlling my page file size has seemed to correct my "stuttering audio" with iTunes 7.0. My pagefile.sys had swelled to 4 times it's normal size after the upgrade.(?) I can't prove this or tell you why it happened. All I know is setting my page file sizes to 100-800 (min.& max. respectively) my system response while having iTunes open along with other apps has improved 100%. It hasn't skipped once after re-creating all of the instances that had once brought my audio to a screaching halt.(literally) It may be helpful to note that my system currently has 2GB of ram. So setting the page file to these lower settings has not had any negative effects when running Cubase SX or my video editing software. No, I'm not an expert nor do I claim any authority in the computing industry whatsoever. Just thought I'd share my experience with others.

I am trying to develop a Multi-Zone Audio System, and i would like to use itunes as my basic software. Since all my family are using ipod/iphone.
My question is how to get 2 or more itunes playing different songs at the same time? or how 1 itunes play different playlist?
Although itunes allow user to create more than 1 libraries, still can't compatible to multi-zone function
anyone have other idea or suggestion?I believe you're going to need multiple computers hosting iTunes to these Airport Express units. Each iTunes can only play one feed, to as many (or as few speakers as you'd like).
So your iMac can stream to the bedroom while watching Youtube videos locally (with local speakers disabled), and another computer (Mac or PC, desktop or laptop) can be providing internet radio to the kitchen.
I'll follow this thread to see if there actually is a device (or software) that allows for multiple source playback from the same computer. -
Jumpy Audio with itunes, hulu, youtube
Recently, my audio on my 2008 MBP has been super jumpy when using itunes, hulu and youtube (plugged into an ethernet). When the audio get's jumpy, my mouse gets jumpy/erratic and slow. Any suggestions?

i haven't bought an iTunes movie yet but it seems tempting
just one thing
which kind of audio format is used and is it surround sound compatible?From the FAQ (Q20):
Will movies support surround sound?
Yes. Movies include audio which is encoded using Dolby Surround which delivers multichannel audio when played using Dolby Pro Logic systems.

Quicktime on Mavericks outputs stuttering audio.
Also some of my video files need "converting" before they play on quicktime. Thus I'm using VLC for now. No stuttering problems with iTunes sound or audio. When will Quicktime be fixed? And is anyone else having these problems?
Same problem. I am an animator and director. All but a small handfull of my video files "convert" when I try to open them. The messed up part is that they are already .mov files. Then it wants to save it again? Do you people know how many of these I have? Are you trying to sell more Hard Drives or something. Fix this quickly, I'm on a deadline and don't want to have to convert 100s of shots and re-import them into my editing software. This is a total waist of time. This is Apple software, it should work seamlessly with OSX.
You are supposed to be the audio visual masters???? Not this time!!!! -
Audio stuttering in Yosemite iTunes, Mavericks OK
Ever since installing Yosemite, I've noticed a quite annoying problem: stuttering audio. I listen to music a lot and so iTunes has been the app that shows the problem the most. However, it's not as clear-cut as just playing audio on iTunes.
I've been trying experiments over the last few weeks. I've used tools like top and Activity Monitor, trying to determine if something is taxing the CPU for a split-second or not. Unfortunately, I found no concrete evidence of this. It's random, and it's annoying.
I've also quit all apps that could be causing it like Safari. The audio still stutters.
Symptoms: music played on iTunes will randomly stutter for a fraction of a second. Like a hiccup.
Tests:
iTunes with low-quality audio (64kps). Happens sporadically.
iTunes with high-quality audio (24/192, 24/96). Still happens sporadically, but no differently than low-quality audio. I thought maybe higher quality audio was taxing the system.
Music is on an external thunderbolt My Book from Western Digital.
Movies streamed from the same Thunderbolt drive do not have issues.
Music played using Quicktime from the same Thunderbolt drive does not have issues.
Music played using VLC from the same Thunderbold drive has issues, but not as often as playing through iTunes.
Movies and music streamed to my AppleTV do not have problems when played from the same Thunderbolt drive.
YouTube is OK. No stuttering at all.
So, something seems to be happening with iTunes on Yosemite, and sometimes VLC.
As a developer, I have a small partition for OS testing. I put Mavericks on there and copied some albums with high and low quality audio. Not a single stutter. Not one.
So the problem has to be Yosemite. It's obviously the same computer (mid-2011 iMac, 20GB RAM, 3.7 GHz i7).
I have no clue how to solve this problem. At first I thought it was some kind of Thunderbolt issue, but even with the Thunderbolt update it still happens, and doesn't happen at all with Quicktime.
The only wildcard is the strange stuttering I get with VLC but I'm wondering if it's a red herring.
So is it iTunes, or is there something wrong with the Yosemite sound system?
What can I do to check something like this?Linc,
I had not mentioned I already tried that, but when I tested it a few days ago, nothing came up in Console.
Just now, I tested it again. It looks like some kind of problem between the Alesis Multimix 8 driver and Safari, but when I quit Safari a few weeks ago the problem still occurred. I just tried it now and it didn't happen. I did upgrade the Alesis driver a while ago and I don't remember if I tried the Safari test before or after that.
Regardless, here's the dump. This does NOT happen every time there's a skip. In fact, nothing shows up in the log when there's a skip, but the dump below does show up when Safari is running.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

I'm having a problem with audio in iTunes 10
Hello there,
During playback with iTunes 10.5 beta 8, i have somes artifacts.
Beacaus eit's difficult to describe, I've made a quick recording you can get there: http://cl.ly/2K270t3G2G111T2e3j33
Every tracks are perfectly played by quicktime or VLC. I really don't understand (i have no plugins, no sound enhancer enabled).
Any ideas?
Thank you :]That is exactly what i am doing but to no avail... The first time i tried to transfer a clip to the timelin from the source monitor , only the video portion transferred. I puttered around a little and used the extract audio command from the clip menu and got the audio to transfer, however; it only works when i transfer the whole clip not a trimmed peice. I'm using AVCHD. I captured the videos to my computer using the PMB picture browser that came with my sony HDR SR12. the videos transferred fine and then the program asked me if i wanted to analyze the videos to vies them.. they came out graet! I then started to try to use my new Premiere Pro program to edit these and am having much difficulty learning this even using the Classroom in a book. I know this is probably something settings related . When I look at the audio description it shows that the audio is compressed in the 5.1 format. Could this be the problem? that it's compressed? Why is it still compressed if I extracted it? Thanks in advance for all your help. This really is quite frustrating to figure out. I've been at it for about two weeks off and on.

How do I properly manage audio files with iTunes?
Hello Dear Readers,
I am going to start using iTunes exclusively for my music collection management. Previously, I had only used iTunes for managing content for my iPhone 4. Now, I am wanting to import all of my media (music) files into iTunes for general use and playback.
For example, I have over 3,000 music files, and I would like to know the best way to get them into iTunes. From a lynda.com training video about using iTunes, I learned that there is a folder called "Automatically Add to iTunes", which is monitored by iTunes for new files to import into the iTunes library. However, I would like to know if this is the *best* way to do this. For example, can I just*move* my 3,000 music files into this 'Automatically Add' folder and then let iTunes do its thing?
Will iTunes *move*the files that it is able to manage OUT of this folder and into one of its managed folders, such that there would be no duplicate file left behind? Is it correct in saying that the files that are left in this folder that were not able to be handled by iTunes and must be handled differently before they can be imported into iTunes. Or is there just an all around different, and better, way to get these music files into iTunes? Thanks for your advice and opinions!
There is also the issue of what to do with the commercial CDs I have (less than 50). I would like to discard these and just maintain them on digital form, e.g., my 2 TB hard drive. However, I am getting varying opinions as to how to do this. I need 2 things: 1) to archive the CDs for retrieval later in case I need the songs that are on them, and 2) MP3 versions of the audio CD files for use on my flash drive which plays on my car audio system. These would also be the files that I manage in iTunes.
Some people have suggested using Exact Audio Copy to make a FLAC and a LAME MP3 copy of myCDs. Others have suggested keeping an ISO copy of the compact discs for reference archive. Personally, I am wondering if I should just import my commercial CDs directly into iTunes, and then pay Apple $25 annually to maintain copies of these, as announced by Steve Jobs at the WWDC that this cloud functionality was forthcoming.
I am in need of some informed, educated opinions and suggestions as to how I should proceed.
Then, there is also the naming convention of the files. When the files get ripped from CD, I can add the freedb information to them for the ID3 tagging. However, I need to know how to specify in what system that the file names are comprised. This is what I am thinking of as my folder and file name format, at this point.
For the naming scheme of the audio files, I am proposing the following:
For most music by 1 artist on a disc, I would do as follows:
Folder Name: AlbumArtist - Album Title (year)
File Names: Track number (from 1 on up, with NO leading zeros) Track Title
For compilations with various artists, I would use the following for the schema:
Folder Name: VariousArtists (album artist) - Album Title (year)
File Names: Track number (1 on up) Track Title - Track Artist.
Do these seem like reasonable naming schemes that would be good for using on all audio software and equipment, such as my iPhone, my car audio flash drive player, and in iTunes?
I know that this is a lot to ask, but I am just trying to learn how to do things correctly and most efficiently so that I don't have problems down the road with my iTunes library. I welcome input, discussion and of course, dissent! Thanks!

please help i have an ipod touch downloaded several audio books for it. backed up ipod and synced with itunes now the ipod has no audio books on it and they are in itunes but i can not get them back on to the ipod. apples systems are incredibly awkward. any other system allows for mp3's etc to be drag and drop not this long winded and what appears to be a complete waste of time. you buy things and once synced you loose it and cant put it back
Are audiobooks still configured to sync to your iPod Touch via the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes? To check, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Locate the Books tap along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what audiobooks sync to your device.
Or if you want to manually drag and drop audiobooks onto your iPod, you'll have to enable the device for manual management. See here for more details.

Fix for iTunes and Stuttering Audio Upon Opening Other Programs
This was answered for me in another mega thread, so I thought I would create it's own topic in hopes of helping as many people as possible.
This is a fix for those that have the problem of iTunes 7 working fine alone, but when opening another program such as a game, etc., iTunes 7 begins to stutter and crackle. This fix assumes that otherwise, the program works correctly (gapless, and other issues are not a problem, no blue screens of death, etc.)
First off my machine:
Dell XPS 3.4 ghz Pentium Dual Core
2 Gig RAM
Creative SB X-Fi audio card, latest drivers installed
Observed problem:
Running iTunes 7, audio sounded fine, but opening another program such as UT2004 (first person shooter game) caused iTunes 7 to stutter and crackle.
This was not an issue in iTunes 6.05. I had to upgrade as I just purchased the new Nano.
As an aside, I have another sound card on my computer, an older Layla Echo 24 professional soundcard, drivers are about 3 years old. When selecting this card, this problem does not occur.
The Fix:
Close iTunes 7
Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A -9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
Start
Run
Type: dxdiag
Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
Slide bar to "basic acceleration" (mine was at full, and basic is two clicks to the left)
Exit
Restart iTunes 7, and startup music
Open game, or other program
Your music in iTunes 7 should now be stutter/crackle free
This may not work for everybody, but it worked for me so I thought I would pass this along.
Good luck!
(resisting urge to type some snarky remark to Apple that somehow their programmers are indeed as human as Microsoft programmers)...oops...sorry about that.
Dell XPS Windows XP Creative SB X-FI Audio Card
Dell XPS Windows XPi was hopeful, but it didn't work. well teh one thing that i had to do diff was the dx updating, WGA doesn't like to work on my system for some unkown reason (yes it was bought at a store) so i found a way around their WGA check for it (i think) the one i got was labeled as dxwebupdate for august 2006. it updated just fine and it looks like it should be the same one as the newest update release microsoft sent out
my system is a home built one and haven't had probs with itunes with any other version, until this one. i'm tempted to just go back to the newest version 6 i have, cause this is rediculous. i can't do anything without it sputtering away at me. i tryed uninstalling it and removing every trace of its exsistance off of the system (including registry) and that didn't work i made sure all numbers were set to the correct values for my sound blaster audigy gamer, i was using some non oem drivers, but switched over just to make sure witht eh newest ones creative had, and it made zero diff.
i'm wondering if it is an issue it is having with sound blaster cards...
well anyways if anyone else has any ideas i would like to hear them -
Hi, no matter what I do, the audio won't play with the video when in itunes, regardless if it's a file I converted to m4v or if it's a video file I purchased and downloaded from the itunes music store like "alias" episodes OR if I'm just previewing streaming music videos from the itunes music store...no audio period. The purchased downloads that are synched to my ipod will play the audio with the video on the ipod and the mp3 songs play fine within itunes and the ipod, just the audio for the video doesn't seem to work at all. Any help here?
PC Windows XPhad the same problem...recently upgraded itunes, now video did not play audio.
Found this info on the web, and it solved my problem:
http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/r10 04/44r04/44r04.asp&guid=
"Problem: You have the latest version of iTunes and QuickTime and you still don’t get audio from iTunes.
Solution: Open the QuickTime Player and go to the Edit menu to choose Preferences, then QuickTime Preferences. Click the resulting dialog box’s Audio tab, then select the Safe Mode (waveOut Only) checkbox. Click Apply, reboot your system and try playing media in iTunes again." -
I want to stream all audio to my stereo via AirPort. Right now audio only streams with iTunes, not when I'm online (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify). What must I do? Thanks! 2011 macbook pro 10.6.8
Thanks, Bob. I've seen this suggested before. However, I'm at a friend's place (cat-sitting). He owns an older MacBook (almost positive) and he streams audio without Airfoil. All he uses is AirPort Express. He told me to simply click alt-option and the volume icon and a menu drops down, and I select "AirPort Express". But it never appears. All the menu offers is this:
"AirPort Express" isn't an option.
Why is that? Is there something fundamental I'm not doing?
