I'm having serious issues with the new iTunes....I generally enjoy leaving it running in the background of WoW while I play so I can listen to music....with itunes 7 the moment I switch to the wow screen, distortion and skipping occurs to an insane degree....has anybody else had this problem, and do you know of a workaround? the previous itunes was fine.. thanks for reading, chu
I have resolved the problem by switching down a notch from full hardware audio accelaration... also I should have mentioned I'm using an XFI Elite Pro
Is iTunes doing anything specific ? I know when you first install iTunes 7, it will go through the whole library to determin a proper gapless playback setting & that can take quite a lot from the hard drive. It could also be downloading pictures from the iTunes store & iTunes can get quite CPU intensive while downloading from the store (don't ask me why).
Apparently itunes7 suffers from some serious bugs. See the Techspot article by Justin Mann HERE. Regards Howard
