First of all, 5400 is considered fast for a laptop (considering 4800 is the norm). Yes, it may not be a 7200 RPM drive like a desktop, but 5400 is adequate. And many of you need to read the original post. I said i DO NOT have many processes running. But anyways, I figured it out. It wasn't the media player or anything else. It was a matter of having little disk space (and possibly that causing fragmentation of the drive).

Is it an iBook? What processor is it G4 or Intel? You can not defrag a Mac because it's automatic. And if the processor can't handle it then it will have to pause for a second. Apple loseless takes alot of CPU

Hmmm. If you're running Mac OS X86, then that's the problem more than likely, it's not a native OS, so expect bugs.

If you're running regular Mac OS X 10.x, then make sure the song files aren't corrupt (by trying another MP), if they're fine, then you may need to free disk space, or update iTunes.

Thanks, but most of what you said is wrong.
