Itunes skipping
I'm having a problem with Itunes skipping two or three times per album. It's not a huge skip like if a CD player is jarred, but it's quite obvious and very annoying. I'm running Itunes 7.6.2.9 on Windows Vista. This happens regardless of how many other applications I have open, even if it's just Itunes. Also, I don't think it's a problem with my DAC, because I notice the problem out of my computer's headphone jack as well.
Any ideas?
EDIT: it's not just Itunes...I get the skipping with foobar as well

Always in a) the same place, or b) randomly?
a) bad file -> re-rip
b) too much load from other apps, bad coding on playback app, Vista eatin' resource with the big spoon, you name it. It happens. Overkill your machine with RAM + CPU, do not run X hungry apps simultaneously... get over it

I guess you have a bad file.
Meaning that the ripped file is not error free. Try to rip from CD again...

thanks for the replies. I'm nearly positive the problem is not with the source files, as the skipping is random and not in the same spots on certain songs. Also, the same files always play flawlessly on my iPod.
As much as I thought I had a relatively fast, up-to-date computer, I suppose Oliver's suggestion that Vista is a resource hog is probably a plausible explanation. It seems ridiculous that a modern computer can't play music flawlessly, and that's it, but I guess it's not that crazy. Due to this problem and general dissatisfaction with Vista, I'm going to putting XP SP2 on my computer and be done with it. Any hope that the lighter weight OS will alleviate the skipping problem at least to a certain degree?
