10.4: Reduce iTunes skipping on an external drive
Authored by: teach on Jul 07, '05 01:17:57PM

I have been storing my library on an external FW drive for a long time. (1.5 years+). My local machine was a G5 dual processor. I have had serious skipping issues since day one. This was on Panther, and continued on Tiger, so I am guessing that spotlight isn't mu culprit, and I would also guess that system bus overload is not the issue given the hefty platform. It was bad enough that I couldn't burn CDs via iTunes. Coasters every time. (I would grab the tracks throw them on my PowerBook and burn from there.)

I recently switched jobs and brought my FW drive home to plug into my G4 Tower running Panther. Clean install of iTunes. Clean import of iTunes library. Exact same issues.

My guess is that it is an issue on my FW drive bus?? Any ideas for resolving this sort of problem?
