I just redid my computer and reinstalled iTunes. I uploaded about 400 songs. Sometimes, the songs skip. SOmetimes the quality goes to hell and it has a static/distorted sound; I have to pause and play it, then it is fine.

Can someone tell me why this happens? And how to fix it?

My dad helped my redo it. copied all my files onta giga bank (storage thing), formatted/restored the computer with the cd it came with. Then put the files on and reionstalled things.

I don't do Windows, but make sure you have the latest system updates from Microsoft. I think they have a security patch every four minutes...

could be windows, could also be a old harddrive.

First mistake you made was reformatting with the disc that Dell gave you. They load it up with so much unnecessary sh!t its unbelievable. If you are going off to college there is a good chance your school will offer you a discounted copy of XP. My school was giving out XP along with Office for 5 bucks each. Pick up one of those and reformat with that fresh copy. As far as the issues with the songs, I would try downloading another media player, such as Winamp, and seeing if the same issues you are experiencing in iTunes occur in the other program as well. If so you can attribute it to the song, if not, its iTunes.

oh he didn't use the disc. He used something that was on the computer.

oh he didn't use the disc. He used something that was on the computer.

oh, i forgot: pc manufacturers are too cheap to provide discs anymore, so they have lame "recovery partitions."

:nuts:

uh, anyway, to address the original point: that shouldn't happen. and my bet is that it's not itunes' fault.

 

[PatBranch]

Its not the speakers because I tried my altec lansing speakers and the laptop speaker and it happens still. NOw it doesn't nearly as much.

Did you try reinstalling your audio drivers?

 

[PatBranch]

no I will try

Go into your Control Panel and open up Sounds and Multimedia Properties. Under the Audio tab, check to see if there are multiple Sound Playback devices under the Preferred Device dropdown. If so, select a different device and see if it your problem persists.

 

[PatBranch]

I only have 1 playback device.

I'm using itunes to listen to internet radio at work. If I'm crunching numbers and writing a lot of data to the hard drive it goes crazy. I've got a pretty smokin' machine. I'm guessing its windows.
