Hey all,

Today iTunes has decided to start pissing me off.
Ill start playing music then go to do something else i.e. web browsing, then approximately every thirty seconds iTunes will pop back up as the currently selected appliction, meaning I have to keep clicking on the application im trying to use. This is especially annoying when typing as whenever iTunes pops back up and i press the space bar or arrow keys it will change the song im listening to....
It doesnt make a difference whether iTunes is just open below the application im using at the time or if its actually minimized.

Any ideas?

What version of windows? (going by the specs in your sig, you use windows)
Windows update recently?
Like I said, I have had soooo many issues with iTunes, I gave up. I even tried the latest when it came out (shoulda just shot my pc instead)
I have an orig iPod classic 160g, the fat one, and have tried so many versions of iTunes since it was new and they all sucked. I recommend media monkey, others will recommend something else.

Ive got windows 7 home premium 32bit.
I installed a small update that allows windows to read SD cards bigger than 32GB and there was another small update, but I cant remember exactly what it did.
Does media monkey have all the features that iTunes has?
