As mentioned in my previous post, I updated my iTunes to 7.0.

Wow, does 7.0 on Windoze XP suck.

There is some sort of buffering issue, which renders songs unplayable. Put the pause on, the buffering (I’m guessing) catches up, and it plays fine.

I tried to roll back to 6.x, but it didn’t take. So I put 7.0 in but am not happy about it. Sucky release; looking forwad to the patch.
