iTUNES PROBLEM - Determining Gapless Playback Information

[weberjm]

I recetnly downloaded version 7.0.2 of itunes. In the dialog box I get a message that says Determining Gapless Playback Informaiton and the computer locks up. I tried removing and reinstalling the software, but I get the same problem. Does anyone know how to correct this problem.

If you don't, I have a second question. I reinstalled version 6 of itunes and when I brought it up, I received the message that my libary was created with a newer version of itunes and it can not load. If you can't help with the first question, does anyone know how the reconfigure the library so it will work with version 6.

Thanks - this is driving me crazy.

If you follow these following steps. You will be easily able to go back to iTunes version 6.

For all of you that need to do the same it's pretty easy:
I downloaded the 6.05 install file from from oldapps, uninstalled 7.01 and then re-installed 6.05. When I ran iTunes it did give me the error message that the library file was created in a new version and couldn't open, but I then deleted the 'itunes library.itl' file (in My Music > iTunes folder) and then replaced it with the backup that was automatically created when I installed 7.01 (in My Music > iTunes > Previous iTunes Libraries). iTunes then started up fine with all my music and playlists. And all the skipping and CPU bogging is better now.
