OK, all of a sudden, my ITunes 4.7 started playing a short series of weird tones at the beginning of each song and then about every minute or so thereafter. The tones precede a scrolling of the song name and artist name at the bottom of the screen. I’ve looked at the Preferences to no avail, and I Googled the problem but couldn’t find anything.

THIS IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Anyone have a solution?

UPDATE: Reinstalled ITunes and rebooted twice and it’s gone. Wish I knew why so I could prevent it from happening again.

I’ve encountered the same thing, although on Kazaa not on ITunes. I believe it’s some form of copyright protection built into the song files. My experience has been that it occurs with select artists and select songs. If you’re paying for ITunes, you may have a different problem.

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing Itunes?
