TS3297 Does anyone know how to fix a problem where iTunes store previews (just music, not movies) stop after anywhere between 9 and 13 seconds of playback?

Basically, when I try to listen to any music previews, it cuts out inexplicably after more or less 10 seconds.  The movie previews work fine.  The iTunes diagnostic showed up clean, and I have already reinstalled iTunes as well as restarted my computer. Any ideas?

The following post from wunbadapple fixed my preview issue. May want to try it.

Well I think I fixed it, but with Apple you can never be sure. Just previewed 5 songs and all previewed ok. I reviewed the thread above and some other related threads and all seemed to reference DNS at some point. So I changed my DNs provider in Windows
Network connections->properties->IPV4->properties-> Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1 .
Primary is the Google DNS server, secondary is the old old old VZ DNS (used to be GTE I think). My default was Verizon's Fios DNS. 8.8.4.4 and 4.2.2.2 are other google and VZ servers if you want the same provider for primary and secondary. I split them in case one has issues.
Then DOS CMD: ipconfig /flushdns
This seemed to resolve the issue, but can't be sure something in Apple servers, etc didn't change. I am wondering if there is something evil in the iTunes Store VZ FIOS DNS interaction, but can't be sure. At least worth a shot if you still have the issue. Ironic the google DNS servers fixed an issue with Apple.
