Yes.

Tracks I had previously imported from CD play fine in iTunes but trying to make a new import is just shit.

If I play the same CD on the same computer but using Media Player etc, it plays fine, so nothing wrong with my CDs hardware or computer, just iTunes.

I've updated all the drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime (again) and am at the point of giving up because it just shouldn't be this hard to load some tunes for my holidays.
