If you’re still on iTunes 6, stick with it for the time being. V7 skips like crazy when you are moving windows around or opening documents. And sometimes it skips just for the fun of it.
It’s incredible that Apple cannot produce a player that’ll play a standard 196Kbps MP3 without errors on a fast 2006 pc. I mean – Winamp 2 decoded MP3s with the cpu usage of a standard household toaster and never skipped – no matter what you did to your machine.
Some iTunes 7 victims have found that this helps: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/juha/1308 – but only if your music is extremely distorted. The random skips don’t go away.
Maybe it’s time to check out Anapod instead of Apple’s cpu-hogging beast.
[UPDATE]
7.0.1 is out. Faster but still skips on my machine, though.
