iTunes skips through every song [SOLUTION] [SOLVED]
Look, I'm just posting this so that people searching for a solution here can find it via search in the coming days/months/years, as I could not find any help anywhere for this issue.
The problem, is that when trying to play a song, iTunes (windows10) will attempt to load for like a fraction of a second and then skip to the next song, and continue to do this...skipping song after song until it reaches the end of the album or playlist.
When trying to re-authorize my computer within itunes as an attempt to solve, I found i was getting an 42110 error. Then after solving that, I was also getting a 45054 error. The solution was to delete two folders called 'SC Info' and 'adi'. Then to essentially, deauthorize/reauthorize and sign out/sign in with iTunes. Detailed instructions and source info below:
- quit itunes
- press windows key
- in search bar type "%ProgramData%" and click on the folder matching that name that pops up
- show hidden files (windows10: click 'View' and check the box 'Hidden Items')
- Open the folder 'Apple Computer' and then the folder 'iTunes'
- Right-click and delete the folder 'SC Info'
- Right-click and delete the folder 'adi'
- Restart PC
- Open iTunes
- Deauthorize your device [Account -> Authorizations -> Deauthorize this computer]
- Then 'Authorize this computer' from same location
- Account -> Sign Out
- Sign back in
- Wait for all your iCloud music to load back up
- Hope for the best!

I got this after realising I was getting a 42110 error when trying to reauthorize my computer. The solution in this link has most of the steps I put forward above.

However, after following the steps in that link, I got error 45054. So I found this info (which suggests to also delete the 'adi' folder)

Then I just had to do the reauthorization and sign out/in. Working perfectly now! Hope it works for you too!
