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?
