iTunes 10 Song Jumping

[marsailidh]

My itunes is not playing songs properly since I upgraded to itunes 10.
It played all songs fine before but since to upgrade the songs are jumping like they would if they were a scratched CD. The songs play fine coming from my ipod and my iphone. It's driving me crazy and I cant use my itunes anymore because of it.
I have no idea why this is happening or HOW I can fix it as I am a bit of a technotard.
Any advice?
Thanks

I know it's clichéd, but have you tried restarting? The skipping on playback can happen if your RAM is full and the computer is doing page outs. Try rebooting and starting iTunes without anything else running, if it works fine that's all it is.
