everytime I try to listen to a Music Store demo for purchase, my computer stalls and the rebuffering starts.?

Question

I just purchased a laptop and gave my desktop to a friend...however, I've been using the same user id and password for both, which could be the reason for my problem.....when I go into Music Store and try to hear 30 sec. of a song I might want to buy, the song starts and literally 3 sec. later, the rebuffering sytem begins and computer says it has STALLED....is my acct in both computers causing the problem...should I take all my info from desktop, remove it, and put my friend's name in for itunes....HELP!!!!!

Answer 1

The username and password should not cause any problems on different computers, unless you are trying to access this music store's website from both computers at once using the same username, because some people's websites don't allow for that. Are you using a different internet provider for your laptop? For example, were you using cable internet previously and are now using wireless? The reason I ask is because a slower internet connection is what usually causes buffering problems. It could also be the type of media player you're using (such as Windows Media Player or Realplayer). You probably just need to update it on your laptop. If you have the option to download these 30 second demos and save them to your computer, you should do that, and then listen to it after they have been completely downloaded, so there is no buffering to worry about.

Answer 2

Make sure you don't have two different media readers able to read the same kind of file. If they do, problems like that will happen.

Answer 3

Mine does this too, and sometimes my modem will freeze.

Arrrgh, wish I had the answer.
