Step # 3 seems to have worked for me. I placed it in safe mode, then started iTunes, then opened and closed many different applications and the stutter stopped. In the past, any time iTunes was running and I did anything else on my computer, it would stutter and drive me crazy. Thanks for leaving this posted on the site. It was very helpful to me. FYI… my op-sys is windows xp, with all current iTunes updated.

Many thanks for that. They key seemed to be making sure the quicktime output settings matched the output settings for the sound card. Obvious really , but 20:20 hindsight is great. Cheers!

I cannot thank you enough for this great article. After months of frustration, changing soundcard ports, software updates etc. this simple article saved my music. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Number 1 was the winner for me – so easy.

Went thru Fix #1, 2, & 3; no change, but Fix # 4 appears to be working for me; thank you very much.

Like one of the comments above; I just stopped using iTunes because the stuttering was so annoying; every song; it was driving me crazy.

Thank you for being here,

I seemed to be late to the party on this one. The stuttering had only recently arrived (ver. 9.0). It was driving me crazy. So thanks for keeping the solution up to date.
