O.P. CPU Usage 100% Spikes
In recent times while playing my music through itunes, occasionally it will crackle, stop or make funny noises.
After looking at a few causes i found in task manager that when this happened my CPU usage was 100%

I find this a bit strange as it has never happened before, im not running any new apps (or that many: Messenger, Norton, Itunes, Firefox + system apps) and i have a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz Hyper-Threaded which is not at all a bad processor.

My top users are
System Idle process - '68' This also goes up into the 90's (As i understand it, this is unusual as that should drop as more CPU usage is required.)
Wmpnetwk, a windows media player network app for my 360 uses 2 and itunes uses 2, firefox uses 2 and a few other random things use a little aswell.

Funnily enough, this dosnt happen when im using Windows Media Player.

Help, anyone?
