To all three people that read this site, I’ve got a bit of a problem with my laptop and was hoping for some advice/assistance. Essentially, when I play music off of iTunes every song or so gets a second long hiccup. The song is playing and then just pauses for a second or so.

This used to happen now and then when I was doing something memory and processor intensive a la photoshop and 4 trillion other programs, but now regardless of what I’m running the computer still pauses. In fact, it was for this main reason that I wiped my computer and re-installed everything last week but apparently to no avail. Help?

It’s a 12inch G4 powerbook running 10.4.6 and iTunes 6.0.4 and
I don’t have any widgets or anything running the background. It’s slowly driving me crazy; I love music and not being able to enjoy a song on my computer is close to torture for me. Help!

Update: I had an iTunes widget program running on dashboard and that was slowing down the computer. I got rid of it (not just closed it out, but went to the “manage widgets” program and got rid of it, restarted the computer, and all was happy.
