itunes randomly skipping during playback
quicktime 7.0.3
itunes 6.0.1
powerbook 1.67ghz with 1gb ram
I have two powerbooks, a 1.5ghz/512mb/10.3.9 and this 1.67ghz/1gb/10.4.3
Both systems have the same MP3 library and the same itunes.xml file. On the newer/faster system, periodically while using it (though not intensely at all) playback will begin to skip and get louder (so on a 1-10 scale, if I was listening to it at a 4 for volume, it starts skipping and becomes a 5 or a 6 in loudness). This lasts about 5-10 seconds and the song continues (but not at the point it started skipping, the counter keeps moving and play resumes after the skip). Playing the same song over again, no skipping. I have never had this problem on the older Powerbook, and the only obvious difference is the spotlight indexing service that isn't on both systems, but that seems odd to me. This happens 5-10 times a day, and the only tech notes I've seen for this topic relate to Windows.
Thanks
