iTunes is a great piece of software in my opinion but it does have some disadvantages and some problems on occasion. One of the worst problems I’ve had with iTunes is after an upgrade it started skipping songs… what I mean is a song plays fine for a while and then gets all messed up and sounds like a scratched CD that’s skipping. I would play the song in Windows Media Player and it sounded fine. I play the song in iTunes again and it sounds fine.

If you are running into the same problem with iTunes sucking balls then here are a few solutions that might work for you.

iTunes Skipping on Windows XP Solution 1:

1. Exit iTunes
2. Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
3. Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
4. Click the Start Button, then click the Run button
5. Type: dxdiag and then hit enter
6. Click “sound 1″ or similarly named tab
7. Slide the bar to “basic acceleration”
8. Exit
9. Restart iTunes
