I don't have a working XP box here at the moment - what does iTunes use to play mp3s - Quicktime, or whatever DLL that came with XP?
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Have you checked for spyware lately? Something could be interfering.
Did anyone suggest checking for drive fragmentation? an interrupted cache could be as bad as a too-small one. A fragged System Paging file can happen, too.
Just some ideas...

Since it insists on Quicktime being installed, I'm guessing QT.

Does anyone use a treo 600 or 650? Is there a way to get it to work with WIFI (like with an accessory)?
ETA: I am looking to upgrade my cingular cell phone to a pda/cell phone that supports WIFI. If anyone has any other recommendations, I'm all ears.

It still could be that QT is only needed for AAC files. Apple would still require QT (I'm guessing) because AAC is the default for encoding songs and the file format for iTunes.

Yep.

When I copied the files to a new physical drive, they defragmented themselves.

How would I find out?

As a guess, I'd check the iTunes registry and the list of installed audio codecs. Which I'll do at work tomorrow, if you haven't fixed the problem by then and if I have the time.

Your tag here.
Do you have wi-fi on this PC? If so, try disabling the wi-fi adapter and see if that improves matters. One thing I found googling was that someone's wi-fi was searching for available networks, which was interfering with the audio playback.
Reinstalling Quicktime may also be of use.

Let me know what you find, tommy.
