Q: 12.1.2.27 music playback issues

Hi All

I recently did the latest upgrade for Yosemite and iTunes, but since then iTunes will not playback my music properly. Within about 10 seconds of a track playing it sounds like it has hiccups! Doesn't matter if I have any other apps working or not. Also, I have to manually use the keyboard to get to Force Quit iTunes as it freezes up the mouse and I get the little rainbow spinner stuck on the screen. Everything was ok until I did the update, if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this (please bear in mind I'm a bit of an Apple numpty) I'd be very grateful. Thanks for your help.

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Howdy ICrashIn2000,

It sounds like there's an issue playing back music in iTunes on your iMac. Take a look at the article linked below and make sure the issue isn’t caused by incompatible third-party iTunes plug-ins.

Take care,

This is a major issue. It does not involve third party extensions. There has not been an answer to this yet. I am looking for another music player at this point.
