iTunes 5.0 Special Report: Jumping from song to song erratically

MacFixIt reader Charles Haynes reports that iTunes 5.0 erratically jumps from song to song without completing the currently playing track.

Charles writes:

"I can't play through any song before iTunes shifts within a playlist to another song. My settings: Under 'Playback' tab - nothing is checked, Smart Shuffle is set to more likely and 'Groupings' because there is no Smart Shuffle Off. Under the 'General' tab - Party Shuffle and Radio are unchecked. Didn't have this problem with last version before 5."
