I'm running Windows XP.

After downloading iTunes 7, and updating my iPod 5G, I am getting this HORRIBLE crackling sound when playing music from iTunes, especially when I am scrolling up and down with the library of music.

Actually, the crackling is also taking place even if I'm not scrolling! Argh....!

Is anyone else experiencing this? It's definitely not my speakers. That's for sure.

UPDATE!


False alarm...! Windows was downloading a [secret] update in the system tray. That explains the crackling.

One more reason why I need to buy a Mac.

I was about to say. I'm sitting here at work on XP playing through iTunes 7 and all is fine. It works on my work machine better than iTunes 6 did.

I need some help...!

The crackling is still happening long after the Windows update. I've tried a lot of things - reloading iTunes, restarting the computer, and reinstalling iTunes itself. Nothing has helped. The problem started after I downloaded iTunes 7. Before that, none of this happened. I don't know what to do now!

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm stuck, and I can't even listen to my music on my computer right now.

Please help if you can...!
