Why won't iTunes play songs anymore?

Question

I've never had any trouble with iTunes before. I opened it up yesterday and nothing will play. When I'm previewing a song in the store, it won't play. When I'm trying to play a song from my library, it won't play. There's nothing wrong with the volume and I have the latest version of iTunes. What could be the problem?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I have this problem sporadically.  I haven't yet figured out the trend of why it keeps happening.  But with me, sometimes I can get video to play, but no sound.  Or sometimes video will play with sound, but music and podcasts won't play at all.  I get so frustrated with this too.

If anyone has an answer, I'd be greatly appreciative too!
