Since installing iTunes yesterday I've had at least 3 instances of iTunes pausing for a full second. Very noticeable. Didn't happen before the install.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it well known?

I experienced it last night, but the pauses were shorter than a second.

I don't remember having that issue in earlier 10.2.3 builds.

Where's you music stored and how big is your library?

If it's not on a local disk iTunes can pause for a little whilst trying to find the song files.

My library is 25 gigs, but all local. It's mid-song that it pauses. I've never had this happen before. I got iTunes to breakup for a moment or two under really high processor loads once or twice, but that was just for a moment and the cause was obvious. This is me just browsing the web, and iTunes seemingly stops working. Then it comes back on. Really annoying.

I've had issues with iTunes and audio overall since Mac OS X 10.2...

My issues have ranged from getting audio skips when there is a lot of activity on the CPU's (Dual 1GHz Quicksilver) to complete audio dropping needing a reboot to bring back.

To be honest the 10.2.3 drives seems a little better for my system than the 10.2.2 driver did. I've done serious testing on the issue and you can read about it on this thread: http://discussions.info.apple.com/We...@.3bba789e/114

Right now, I'm using the audio driver from Mac OS X 10.1.3 and have pretty much the best luck with it so far - but even with this I will get skips from time to time when I'm really hitting the CPU's... Strange I know!?

What's crazy is that this is Apple's own hardware, and even they seem to have issues with this. One can only hope they really get on the ball with this and future revs of OS X will have much better audio driver development.

I would like to see some serious dedicated and high-end audio equipment in the next major rev of the Power Mac line.

This is driving me crazy. I'm actually looking forward to getting up and going to work tomorrow to listen to my iPod instead of iTunes.

I guess I should just try reinstalling iTunes if noone else is having this problem.

Theres definitive something wierd about iTunes with 10.2.3 that I haven´t noticed before.

- After wake from sleep, I have been trying burn some CD:s in iTunes and every time it´s looks up permently. You can´t even force quit it! Only via terminal with kill command works. But after force quitting via terminal you cant restart iTunes because of some permission errors. The Only thing I can do is to restart the machine.

Have anyone else noticed this!

I got a Dual mirror, with a Superdrive in bay 1 and a philips 48x16x48 drive in bay 2. CD-burning in iTunes uses the superdrive becouse the philips drive is not supported in iTunes!

My framerates in the visuals have been cut in half. They are back to the old days of ... WAIT A MINUTE ... maybe it reset my OpenGL preference? Hmm ... either way, the visuals are slow again. Only after the 10.2.3 update - were running great in 10.2.2.

I havn't realized anything weird with iTunes and X.2.3 yet, behaves like it always did. Framrate in visuals even ~ 5 fps higher than before, presumably thanks to OpenGL 1.4
