At what point in a track to itunes previews play

I am getting my music up onto iTunes and wanted to know at what number of seconds does the track preview play i.e. 0, 5, 10, 15 etc.
Also how long does the preview play for?
and finally, though I dont exect this to be possible - CD baby allows artists to select custom start times for preview audio clips - is there a way to doe this for my muisc uploaded to the iTunes stort
Thanks in advance

It won't pull it in until there's less then 1cm left out (i.e. almost all the way in before it pulls the rest)

Ipod won't play tracks but itunes will

I have bought some singles from itunes (mp4) and since I have ripped the album from CD. The problem is that the tracks (mp3) that I have bought from itunes will not play and the album freezes when it gets to this track. If I play the original single (mp4) this will play.
If I try and play the mp3 ripped track on itunes it plays perfectly.
Any ideas?

I am trying to upload a project with multiple tracks to iTunes. only the first track seems to be uploading. what do I do?

I am trying to upload a project from garageband with multiple tracks to itunes but only the first track is uploading. what do i do to make them all upload together?

Couple of questions:
What type of Tracks are they (MIDI, AUdio, Drummer)?
WHen you play your Project, do You hear all Tracks playing?
What happens when you change the Track order, i.e. A-B-C to B-C-A? WHen you export, do you still get only one Track and if so, is it talways the first Track in the list or a specific Track regardless if it is the first, second, or third?
Are you sure you don't have any Tracks Muted or Soloed (which auto-mutes the other Tracks)?
Hope that helps

TS1717 i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes: they will not play in my windows media center even though i have added them to that location. any idea what other trouble shooting i can attempt on this issue??

i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes and they will not play in my windows media center. i have never had this problem but the two tracks play on my PC just not in the windows media center and usually all my itunes music plays in there no problem??? any idea what to do? thanks

I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

Songs end prematurely, skip to next track in iTunes 10.6.3

I wanted to see if other iTunes users are having this issue. I'm using iTunes 10.6.3 (the latest version), and both my wife and I are seeing the same behavior in our iTunes libraries with songs we've either purchased from the iTunes Store or that we've ripped from CDs. It doesn't seem to matter which.
The problem is a track will play and then stop abruptly before it's full length has played, and iTunes will then skip to the next track. This happened to me today with a new album I just purchased from the iTunes Store. 2 of the 13 tracks behaved this way. For example, if I'm playing a song that's 5:45 in length, iTunes will stop playing at 5:02 and jump to the next track.
It also just happened on an album I downloaded from the iTunes cloud. I'd purchased it a couple years ago from the iTunes Store. I played the album today and again, one track stopped short of its true length, and iTunes skipped to the next track.
So I guess the good news is it doesn't appear to a problem with corrupted tracks or anything. It points to a problem the iTunes application itself.
If anyone has experienced the same problem, please share what you know. Thanks in advance.

On the main iTunes screen, click on Purchased. That'll give you a list of your songs & albums stored on the cloud. The song(s) you've deleted should be available for download again (they'll have the cloud icon next to them). If not, sign out of iTunes and then sign back in again and go back through the same steps mentioned above. Hope this helps.

DVD DTS audio track to iTunes library

Over in the iTunes for Windows community, I added this issue to a similar question posed there.
Before I explain my challenge, I want to address some other postings that I came across in my search for an answer. I noticed in a now-locked discussion that someone wrote that iTunes does not support DTS. This is incorrect. iTunes handles DTS files quite well, and many of us have many DTS sound files in our iTunes libraries, and play them either 1) through the optical port on our computers, or 2) through our Airport Expresses. Granted the optical output of those two routes must be connected to capable ports in a sound system that can detect and decode DTS data. It works. I have been enjoying it for more than a decade. And a note to the fellow who 'suspects' that Apple TV would also pass DTS – no it doesn't. That point is one of my significant complaints about the ATV – an inexplicable shortcoming, given that the Airport Express has long had the capability.
Now back to my current challenge. I have successfully extracted the DTS audio track from a concert DVD. How do I know I have been successful? VLC plays the file out the digital port of my MacPro into my sound system, which, in its display, identifies the encoding of the file. It is DTS, and sounds wonderful, naturally. How does one play the file to the digital port? In VLC, under the Audio menu, one finds, at the bottom, Audio Device, which leads to more choices. The only choice that will forward the pure DTS to the sound system is Built-in Digital Output (Encoded Output). VLC doesn't encode to DTS, it just doesn't decode by choosing this output device. So, what is the problem? iTunes will not accept nor import this file into its library. Obviously, there is more to the file than the song data and the file extension. I have tried the extensions that I have found on my existing DTS library entries (.wav and .aif). VLC seems to recognize the file for what it is regardless of the extension. Obviously, the file is somehow encapsulated, so I need to find a way to change the encapsulation to make it acceptable to iTunes. I've tried to have VLC export to .m4v, but that hasn't been successful.
I should add that this concert DVD came with a companion CD of the same concert. Unfortunately, the CD is standard stereo, and, yes, it is now in my iTunes library. However, it is much better to turn out the lights, sit back, and just listen to the music in full 5.1 surround without visual distractions. Be it the Police, the Moody Blues, Shania Twain (am I dating myself here?), or many others, DTS is... well, you should experience it for yourself!
I am looking for solutions / suggestions. Regards to all, Brian
I should add that I am quite willing to describe the process of extracting the sound track once I have the final steps resolved - getting the track into iTunes.

This is the build in copy protection of you these mp3-players called iPods... when you unpacked it there had been a little message (iPod Mini, iPod Video an earlier iPods)
(Don't steal music.)
That is still the reason why it is not possible to copy songs from your iPod back to iTunes, since all your songs should have been copied from that iTunes onto you iPod in first place ***....
So via build in AppleScript import commands you will not be able to hack that protection...
You can give macupdate.com or versiontracker.com a try to find the best tool do that job...

TS1702 What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found"

What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found". None of the Apple suggestions fix the problem. For example, with Animoto, one of the problem apps, I have removed it, reinstalled it, and still get the eoor message.

Of course.
First of all, this started when an external drive i was using died on me. I have no doubt that these apps indeed are off my system. I figure between the apps I've bought for myself and my kid, I have about 150 apps.
Now. The issue.
When I sync my iPad with iTunes on my desktop, it goes through normally until it gets to the apps. When that happens, it get an error box that reads "Some of the apps in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPad because one or more errors occurred. For a list of appps that could not be installed, click on the triangle below."
Then I get a list of apps.
(Added note to any iTunes developers out there: The titles of the apps in this list do not always match the titles of the apps in the App Store. For example, one was called "MuseumGame" on my iPad. It's called "Museum of Thieves" on the App Store. I started out with a list of 60 apps. It was a major pain to track them all down. It would be nice to have everything the same so I can use the App Store search more effectively.)
Anyway, moving on....
The error message stops my sync until I dismiss it. That, honestly, is what makes this whole thing annoying enough to seek out an answer. I can't let my iPad start syncing and walk out of the room. Yeah. I know. First World problems.
Once I dismiss the error, the sync continues and all is well.
I did the following to try to fix the problem. Mostly, I did a lot of searches:
My list of purchased apps on my iPad both using the search box and by going to every page
Searched the main App Store on my iPad using the search field. When that didn't work, I used wider searches and just scanned the page(s) for the little cloud icon that showed I had purchased the app.
I got on my desktop iTunes and searched the apps from there (without a lot of hope, but trying to be complete)
At that point, I came to the conclusion that a small number of the apps are no longer available on the App Store.
Fine. I didn't want them anyway.
I got into iTunes and went to the Apps page. None of the errant apps showed up there. I searched the iTunes help files. Nothing. I crossed my fingers, said a little prayer to the search engine gods, and tried Google. I found some things that sort of matched but they basically boiled down to "re-download the app from the App Store" or "Restore your iPad".
So I spent a couple of hours restoring my iPad. I got the error message again. I hit Google again and came up with this thread. It was as close to my problem as I found.
I think that brings us up to date.
My fundamental problem is that I seem to have found a scenario where if you have to restore apps (because, perhaps, your external drive died) and some of the apps are no longer available for download, there is an error generated that can not be permanently dismissed.
Did I miss anything important?

Delete Track from iTunes Library if in User Playlist

Hello
I want to delete [music] tracks from the main iTunes [10.7] library if they are in a user playlist.
I saw (on dougscripts.com) an approach where the database id was obtained from the track in the playlist and this was then used to delete from the main library. However, it does not seem to work:
delete (some track of thePlaylist whose database ID is (get database ID of deleteTrack))
returns error -1708 "... doesn't understand the delete message"
I think this is to do with a change to the way in which the main library is referenced, but if anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I found out what is happening: the tracks are shared from iCloud - via iTunes Match - which renders them un-deletable by AppleScript!

How do I select multiple tracks in iTunes?

It's like a hold down control and something else, and then drag the curser to select the songs you want selected. I'm not sure what this shortcut is. Again, I want to select multiple tracks on iTunes so I can move files or delete them. Simply selecting all won't work because the files are different names. Anyone know this shortcut? Thanks!

If you click a track, hold down shift, and then click another one, it will select all the tracks between those two. Holding down command (the apple key) will allow you to select/deselect individual tracks.

What applescript do I use to trigger to play a video in quicktime or itunes from MainStage 3?

I am new to Mainstage 3... I have made a karaoke video to play along with live in logic pro x and can easily play along with a full screen video there, but want a program that is processing less so less can go wrong... I bounce the video (+10 or so tracks) to a .mov file, and would like it to play when I press play on Mainstage 3. I would then like to play and sing with that in Mainstage 3 with 2-3 inputs live (as opposed to the 10 or so audio tracks in logic (with plugins running) and the video with 2-3 live inputs it would be cleaner and easier for my macbook pro)...
In complete honesty I have the tracks beatmapped in logic and would like Mainstage to keep that info as well, but after I've messed with Mainstage I sadly don't think that is what Mainstage was designed for...
Anyways I've scowered all over the internet and it appears the only way to get Mainstage to play a video is by writing some applescript that triggers a midi event that tells quicktime/itunes to play a .mov file... I have no idea why the ability is not just given to mainstage, but at least there is supposedly a work around...
I have little experience with mainstage and no experience with applescript...
What code do I put in the scripter to make a .mov file play a full screen (on second screen) when I press play in Mainstage 3?
Is that even right?
system specs-
OS X 10.8.4
Mainstage 3.0.1
Logic Pro X 10.0.3
(I don't care what player i use but these are the ones I have to work with)
(preferred) Quicktime Player 10.2
Itunes 11.0.5
VLC 2.0.8
I have messed around with the applescript editor in my utilities, and looked at some in the app store, but none of them have direct answers that I have found by google-fu-ing..
The only other option would be to manually press play, fullscreen, then switch back to Mainstage 3... I MC and that takes a lot more time/energy/focus than simply pressing the play button in Mainstage 3 (seriously why doesn't it play videos?)...
A lot of info, requirements, and questions I know, but when the video is not playing I would like to have my desktop showing (I put drink specials, future gigs, advertisments on a picture slideshow as the desktop on the second monitor)
If all this works it will be epic
Worst case I'll stick with Logic X
Please help

ALOT of us are attempting to do this VERY thing!
I have searched high and low for information, even attempted using MS current scripts and modifying them.
I have a sneaky feeling that MS scripts are somehow different than a typical Applescript.
(changing iTunes to Quicktime)
If anyone can pipe in here, that HAS actually accomplished this, the cheque is in the mail!!

How do I get stupid Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track #3 is a duet w/ "Jane Doe", it treats it as a separate album! What can I do

Hi
All my tracks are MP3.
In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column. If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?
I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.
crichton007 wrote:
I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

What is a "Frozen" Track?

Working in a Project, multiple Tracks mostly Real Instrument, copying and moving Regions between Tracks using option/drag and sometimes get a "Track is Frozen" message box.
So I click Cancel and the box closes and the Region move has been done. This is not the "Track is Locked" message - although all the Tracks were previously Locked and unLocked more than once. And they are definitely unlocked when this happens.
It only happens on some Tracks and I don't know what difference between them may cause this (unless, maybe it was the use of Automation points, but I don't think so. I'll have to double-check that).
So no real problem, I hope, right? but what is a Frozen Track (as opposed to a Locked Track)?

Hm - I can move regions with volume curves around without getting any warning messages.
By the way, I discovered something that I hadn't known before: If you have locked the curves, copy and paste will create a new region without a curve, while alt-dragging it will copy the volume curve too.
