I bet it's the computer. I have the same problem at times. But it isn't the harddrive.

I have to same issue with the old computer at work. It is not the hard drive, more than either the files got corrupted or you have a lot of hidden apps running the background taking up CPU time.

It could be iTunes. I never have that problem, and I don't use iTunes.

It's not the songs. They're not corrupted. And, no, it's not the processor. The CPU usage is minimal. And the computer is fairly new. I'm guessing it may be because I'm running really low on disk space.

If you're running low on disk space, odds are you probably need to defragment your hard drive. To make as many things as possible fit onto your hard drive, your computer will split up large files and stick the parts into smaller spaces. Great for capacity, but when you need access to a highly fragmented file, the hard drive needs to access every last place the file is stored in just to load it all - which often means that the read/write head needs to reset itself many, many times. In many cases, this will cause an extreme slowdown of load times, resulting in cases like the one you have. I'm not sure how to defrag a drive on Mac - but on Windows, you open My Computer, right click on the drive you want to defragment, select Properties, click the Tools tab, hit Defragment Now..., and hit Defragment. You'll need to leave it alone for anywhere between half an hour to multiple hours to clean it up all the way - so you might want to do it overnight, while you're at school, etc. Also, be aware that Windows will require at least 15% of your drive space to be free for the tool to work, so if you're especially strapped for space, you may want to do a little cleanup/backup beforehand. Hope that helps.
