I'm not asking a question but rather trying to help people if they shared my pain lol. A possible reason for choppy and skippy tunebite recording is to roll back to Windows Media Player 10 if you have 11. TUNEBITE DOES NOT WORK WITH WMP 11 (WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11) YOU MUST ROLL BACK TO WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 10. I hope this will be of help to someone in the future.
