Looks like the Times is quoting a press release. Lazy reporting.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Where do you get decent quality hp compatible laser toner cartridges from? That is what on-line places do find inexpensive, reliable, and with not overly horrible turnaround times for this sort of thing?

Why did my Nano's clock suddenly get one hour off? It was one hour in the fuure. The odd thing is that the "last played" field for the songs I was playing still got updated with the correct time.

OK, a quick check showed that the Nano's Daylight Saving Time was somehow set to "on." What's up with that?

All is well that ends in pizza.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'm using iTunes 6.0.1.3 on Windows XP. I have a dedicated hard drive for my songs (currently over 24,000 songs occupying over 120GB of space). For a while now, whenever I play a song, it stops after about 13 or 14 seconds. If I click on the pause button, then again when it's changed to a play button, it'll play for another 13-14 seconds and then stop. Lather, rinse, repeat. This happens even if there are no other programs open.
This didn't used to happen, but I can't pinpoint what may have changed to cause the problem to appear. Any suggestions?
t edit I actually moved all the songs to a different physical drive to see if it would help. It didn't.

Your tag here.
That's a weird one Jon B.

Also, check to see if Windows is indexing and/or compressing those drives, and if so, turn that off. Check your iTunes buffer settings.

The newest version of Quicktime is organized differently. Under Audio, I've got "Safe mode (waveOut only)" checked. If I de-check that option, the player stutters terribly, so it looks like I've got the settings set correctly.
Also, check to see if Windows is indexing and/or compressing those drives, and if so, turn that off.
Nope.
Check your iTunes buffer settings.
Been there, done that.
t edit Hey, it was indexing that drive. I'm turning it off right now and will report back momentarily.

Jon, I'm curious - does the bitrate of the song you're playing have any effect on the length of time a song will play before stopping? I'm thinking that if a lower bitrate song plays longer, that might indicate that the song stops playing when a fixed-size buffer is used up. Not sure what that would get us, but....
Also (unrelatedly), does this problem occur for both mp3s and AAC files?

Nope. Removing indexing was no help.

Also, are the drives in question set to sleep after a period of no activity? (They shouldn't be sleeping after such a short time, but....)
