>Is it common for a G3 iBook to be choppy using iTunes? No, I've used iTunes on a range of G3s and they play the music pretty cleanly. I'd say they are maybe two to three times as choppy as my G4 iBook but that is very low. I ask because my video is always choppy. And as for previewing videos, iTunes stops within two seconds. > >Also, is it common for iTunes to have trouble with one particular song? Sure, if there is a problem with the encoding of that song. I still have two albums that have some problem. They were the first I encoded and that was probably before iTunes. Seriously, one day I'm going to re-encode them...soon. One song from Queen, "I'm Going Slightly Mad,"won't load from my CD. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
