| 489088 | 2006-10-04 03:58:00 | Whenever I try and rip music from a cd (it's not a burnt cd it's the ones you buy from a shop) to itunes the songs go all strange. Like when you play a cd in a cd player and it skips cos of a scratch, its kinda like that, like every 5sec the song will sound like it's skipping, except that's not possible on a ipod cos how can it be scratched? I used windows media player to get the songs off once and the songs are fine but it's a pain in the buttocks cos ipods only play MP3 and ACC or AAC i don't remember. So cd's rip in WMA format then i have to import them in itunes and convert them to MP3. Which i normally wouldn't care about but my computer is such a piece of !$#@ it takes about 3 and a half mins to rip ONE SONG off the cd and then another 4mins to convert ONE FILE to MP3 :yuck: I'm a few years older by the time it finishes. So does anyone know how i can stop the songs going all weird PS I have tried changing the quality, e.g. 128kbps up to about 320kbps i think PPS It's not anything wrong with my ipod cos i downloaded a song to check and it was fine |

| 489090 | 2006-10-04 05:05:00 | Why aren't you ripping the CDs straight to MP3 in iTunes? 128kbps is OK, and I have been ripping much faster than you with a PIII 550MHz, W2K and 512MB ram. Maybe your computer has too much running in the background so try closing down some programs, or run HijackThis to see if you have a load of malware hogging your CPU time. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Cheers Billy 8-{) I am happy to report i am virus free :D This is a Intel Celeron P3 1.1GHz but only 128mb of sdram running XP so it's not really running it well but I didn't know anything about computers when we got XP...I thought it would work on anything. That's what i'm trying to do, rip straight to MP3 in itunes, but thats when the song goes all stuffed up and sounds like cd skipping...Is it an itunes problem? I have tried reinstalling itunes. |

| 489092 | 2006-10-04 06:22:00 | I am happy to report i am virus free :D You may be virus free, but you could still have malware and spyware running. Try running HijackThis anyway and post the results, it won't do any harm. You are a little light on RAM (why not buy some more?), but you still have more computing power than I have so something is using up your CPU cycles. Have you scanned with Spybot or Adaware?

"Why aren't you ripping the CDs straight to MP3 in iTunes" |

| 489094 | 2006-10-04 06:48:00 | I might add that Billy T is a recent enthusiastic convert to itunes and knows what he is talking about. In fact it would not surprise me after a taste of the Apple if his next computer is a Mac. People who have never used a Mac are often surprised when they get to use Apple products at how well everything just works. |

| 489095 | 2006-10-04 06:50:00 | A mate of mine has the same problem on his PC with iTunes. Usually it is the last song on the Cd. Only happened on certain CDs. We thought it is the DVD/CD drives on his PC as the same CDs recorded fine on my PC with iTunes.Maybe there is a problem between the brand and/or type of drive and iTunes. Haven't bother to look into it any further at the moment. Jeff. |

He used WMP once (as a test, I presume) Fishy, WMP can rip directly to MP3, if that is any help. |

| 489097 | 2006-10-04 09:15:00 | A mate of mine has the same problem on his PC with iTunes. Usually it is the last song on the Cd. I find it is usually the first song that I play each session on my iPOd. Not a major just a little skip. Overall I am more than happy. Sorry not much help ! Misty :D |
