Stuttering songs in Itunes 9

Since upgrading to 9.x my music plays with hiccups and stutters. I am using XP pro. My resoucres are less than 10% tasked. I can play MPs on Media player with no issues, I can play line in music with no issues. My Itouch plays fine, Just Itunes and since 9.x came out, I am fully updated at his time.
Anyone else, I have been changing hardware and SW alot, but beginning to think it is a Itunes only issue.
Thanks, Futzer

And is your PC an Hp- particularly a Pavilion laptop- as this was the major trouble when 8.x came out. I'm getting hiccups again now too. I'm not as keen as you on enabling /disabling things... last time I think I changed back to an older version, but can't now remember how I did that. It's a shame when the music is the thing that goes wrong.

  • Stuttering Songs in iTunes

    I have seen a few posts on this subject in the discussions, but no one really had a resolution for it. So, I thought I would try to share my problem, and see if anyone has some resolutions for it:
    I just purchased a 24" iMac, 2.8ghz intel, 2 gig ram. It's literally brand new as of Thursday.I have a relatively small iTunes library compared to a few people on here: 16 gigs. I am running iTunes 7.6.2, Quicktime 7.4.5 and Leopard 10.5.2. I use UBS-based Soundsticks that are now about 4 years old (the first version).
    So, that's my mac, here's my problem. I get randomly stuttering songs when I listen to music in iTunes. It's like you're streaming something off of the Internet and the music reaches the end of its buffer. It happens randomly. It can be every 20 seconds, or couple minutes, or right now - more than 10.
    But it happens regularly, and enough where I am getting annoyed.
    I was asked by Apple Tech Support to run one random song on loop in quicktime, which is going on right now, to gauge what is happening. So far, it's skipped a few times just in quicktime (iTunes is not open).
    I'm at a loss. The computer doesn't have performance issues (obviously). More importantly, my now-dead iBook always played music without skipping.
    What's been the general consensus of what to do? I am thinking of trying to play music without the soundsticks next to check if that's a problem.
    Anyways, your thoughts on this subject would be great. There seems to be a lot of people with this problem.

  • Distortion/stutter between songs with itunes 7.0.1.8

    Everything was fine with itunes 6.x; then I upgraded to 7. Now when I play itunes on the sony computer, for 10 to 15 seconds between songs the music is distorted or stutters. Also itunes freezes for this time period. I have noticed the following: CPU usage shoots up from 6% to 70%. If I am using any other application (ie. program, email, etc.) it freezes for these few seconds. I have to stop playing/close itunes to do anything else on the computer. I have tried all the suggestions Apple has listed, Q time settings, updating the sound card driver, etc. to no avail!
    The only solution I have found was to convert my itunes library to MP3, and created a play list in Windows Media Player. Every thing is fine, the music plays great. itunes at one time was state of the art, now just junk!
    Any help would be most appreciate!

    Actually I have the same problem. It's really funny how if I go back to iTunes 6.x I don't have any problems at all, but as soon as 7.01 is installed it does this stuff.
    I have Crossfader turned off, Safemode on, lowered the sample rate in Quicktime. I have the newest drivers for my Soundcard, and for Direct X
    This is a REAL problem, I use iTunes to listen to the TONS of music that I purchased on the iTunes Music Store while I play World of Warcraft. This stinking total machine freeze totally hoses my game play.
    I wish that Apple would look into WHY suddenly it takes a huge amount of System resources to change to another song in this version, when in the previous unbuggy version it took little to no system resources for iTunes to change to another song (and this was with Crossfader and sound Enchancer ON)
    Perhaps the new Gapless Playback feature is causing the problem. I would turn it off, but I don't see the control to do so.
    It would be nice to see an Apple Rep actually acknowledge a problem with the Windows version of iTunes, and give us a timeframe for when it will be fixed.

  • Can no longer queue songs in iTunes

    Hi,
    I also have recently had the problem with the audio stuttering in iTunes. I've restored my PC a couple of times and reinstalled the latest version of both iTunes and QuickTime and currently it seems to have fixed the problem.
    I now notice that I can no longer queue songs in iTunes. Previously I used the Party Shuffle option alot, but this has only one song listed (instead of the past 5 and next queued 15). If I play a song in the library and click on the >> button, the song just ends, without moving to the next song (doesn't matter whether shuffle is on or not). Any ideas on how to fix this this?

    I seem to recall deleting the prefs file fixing Party Shuffle issues:

  • How to fix stuttering song playback?

    Over the past week, I began experiencing stuttering song playback in iTunes.  I tried to lower the sound enhancement settings to no avail.  Please help.  System:  XP Home, 32 bit. 
    Note:  Am using iTunes 10.7 because I had problems with missing tracks and error messages in the most recent version of iTunes.  Haven't had any other problems since the downgrade.

    Hello Ayanna R
    Verify that you have done some of the other steps in the article below to resolve issues with audio playback. The only other advice I can give is updating iTunes.

  • HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

    I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
    The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
    But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
    When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
    But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
    This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
    "Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
    But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
    Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
    Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

  • Is there a way to make YouTube download my selection completely before playing (like you can do with songs on iTunes)? I'm getting sick of start and stop during viewing!!

    Apparently I typed my entire question into the subject line without knowing what I was doing!
    I want to FULLY download selections from YouTube before attempting to view them. Just like you can select to fully download the samples of songs from iTunes. I am sick of the **** YouTube video going in and out, especially when I'm also downloading something else at the same time!
    Please tell me how to set this 'preference,' if there is a way!
    Thanks !

    Sounds like you did this on the fly.
    MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue

    Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .

  • My husband and I are using the same computer. He has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want...but when I sync my iPod I get all of his songs too. Is there a way of setting up another ITunes account without having to untick all of the ton songs iTunes

    My husband has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want on my iPod nano. Is there a way to set up a separate account on the same computer in iTunes? Do I have to un-tick all of his songs (would take forever!! And then he would have to tick them again)....when we sync our iPods?

    No. Its not possible.
    Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

  • Purchased Songs from iTunes will no longer sync to iPhone 4s.. any help on this ?

    . All that music is in Music library on iTunes and plays well has been purchased with the same Apple id. On Windows -7, iTunes 10.5.
    . Under previous purchased icon on iTunes all music shows downloaded.
    . Unchecked music Sync from iTunes > removed all songs from the phone.
    . Tried syncing manually just 1 song and got the same error "1 item could not be synced check iTunes for explanation " and there is no message on iTunes.
    . We deleted all the Songs from iTunes and now re-adding.
    . If this does not work then I will be testing with re-creating a new Library and testing in a new user account..
    Does anyone have a better idea...?

    Hi firmflange,
    That definitely sounds frustrating! I have actually encountered this same behavior in the past, and switching out the USB to 30-pin cable was the resolution (hardware issue with the cable). Does the same behavior occur when you use a different cable?
    If so, we may need to troubleshoot the USB connection on your computer. Refer to this article:

  • Importing songs to itunes folder from dvd's

    i have a data dvd backup of all my 1400 songs from itunes folder. i tried to import it into a newly dowloaded version of itunes on my laptop with new hard drive.. it placed all the song info in the library, so i connected my ipod and directed it to this new library. it updated ipod successfully. but when i tried to play, i realized that i had only imported the song titles, etc. into itunes folder and subsequently onto ipod.. and because i directed to this "new" library, i lost all 1400 songs on the ipod.. pls help. how do i get my music from data dvd backup to library and to ipod. and do i have to import each song separately.. there are like 25 different folders on the dvd of albums, and downloads from itunes store....i just want what i had before my hard drive died. forgive me if i didn't post this right, my first time...

    Note - You don't need to copy them to the HD first,
    as btabz suggested.
    There are different ways to import music. You can copy them (the music files) onto the HD wherever you want and then import into iTunes, or have iTunes import directly off the DVD and put the files in the iTunes Music Folder. Both ways get the music into iTunes and stored on your HD. It depends if you want the music in the iTunes Music folder or not. With the way I suggested, the music is placed where you want, instead of having iTunes put it where it wants.
    Both ways will work fine though.

  • Downloaded song from iTunes, now iTunes can't find it!

    I just downloaded a song from iTunes. It was hanging on the download so I cancelled, then went to Store >> Check for Available Downloads. Song finished downloading and processing, and it displays under Purchased songs in iTunes.
    Here's the catch...now that pesky exclamation mark is displaying next to it, saying it can't find the file and would I like to look for it. I've never had this happen with a song purchased on iTunes before.
    Thoughts? I looked through my iTunes Music Library folders and didn't see anything there for the artist.
    I'm running iTunes 10.
    Thanks.

    Wound up just buying the song again.

  • My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show the artists, but some do not show up on my iPad or iPhone?

    My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show all the artists, but most artists do not show up in Music on my iPad or iPhone? I recently fixed the song titles coming back from Match update changed to Track ** by going thru every song's info (command i) and typing in the song title manually (fortunately I had a hard copy of all my song titles and artists and only had about 160 songs to do) and that fixed the problem. Now, both the song titles and artists show in my iTunes, but NOT on my ipad and iphone Music (There are a few that show up). I tried to test my "re-typing artists" into info manually on a few, but it didn't work. I also tried adding "Single" or "None" to the albumn title, but no go. Any suggestions?

  • TS2818 I have purchased songs from iTunes and when I sync with my Ipad only some are imported....then it says contact Itunes as to why your songs are not being synced.

    I have purchased many songs on Itunes and then I sync to my Ipad. Then it tells me so many songs cannot be synced.  Why? I also attach my connection and it is now saying this iphone is not connected when it is an Ipad connected to my MacBook Air.  I also think that when you have an account with Apple they should honour your email to all your music and not just your laptop as I now have to use my old laptop which is about to die so what happens then. 

    What is the exact wording of the error message?
    Were all songs purchased by the same iTunes account?
    What did iTunes say when you contacted them?

    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option
