Downloaded iTunes Match Songs cut off halfway?

I'm on iTunes 10.6.3.65 on windows and apple better get this fixed quick coz this is getting on my nerves.
I've downloaded the entire iTunes match library twice and there are still songs that cut off halfway. any fixes for this?
P.S. This doesnt happen to my iphone if i download it right off itunes match, but it happens to my computer and my computer only. i have no idea *** is happening Grrr

Everyone,
Boy is this a bug, but I fixed it. If you haven't by now, try this.
Select all, Delete, Yes, Keep Files.
Then re-add the same folder to your library.
Enjoy
Stupid, but it worked for my iTunes files, burned CDs, old mp3s, everything. I'm mostly posting this b/c I didn't find the answer on the several posts I opened and this one is at the top of Google's list.

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

Can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. iPhone, iPad work fine.

I can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. It gives an error stating that only one Apple ID can be used at a time with iTunes Match and asks me to wait 72 days until I can download any songs!? Tried to turn off iTunes Match in an attempt to reset it. And now I can't turn it back on. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm pretty sure the songs will need to be physically present on the computer you are syncing the Nano with, but I'm not 100% sure.
Edit: I just attempted to sync music that I have stored in the iCloud, but not written on my harddrive to an iPod Classic and it only syncs the music that is present on the computer. I tried to grab a few iCloud file and throw it on the iPod, but I had to download them before it would work.
So, yes. You do have to have the files already downloaded to sync to a non iOS 5 iDevice.

I downloaded some songs, and it says they downloaded, but the song cuts off half way through. What do i do?

I downloaded and album late last night. It said they were all downloaded and about 8 of the songs cut off mid song and jump to the next song. What do I do to fix that?

All you need to do is go to the iTunes store, and then go to purchased in the right side of iTunes store. It is under the quick links. Then you will be able to download the past purchases there.

ITunes Match incomplete/cut off songs

After having completed the upload process, some of the songs that I listen to on my ios5 devices aren't complete, half way through the song it starts playing the next song, but according to the devices it's still playing the 1st song. This happens to both the iPad 1 & 3, and my iPhone. The original songs are complete on my computer, and there wasn't any issues with the upload. I've even waited for the full albumn to download before begining to play a song, and I still get the same issue. How can I fix this?

It definitely is disappointing . I am suprised. This is a temporary solution I found:
1). I redownload some of my misplayed songs back to my computer from the cloud and they seemed to play fine on my computer. I burned them to a CD and reimported back them into ITunes. They seem to work fine after that...
2). If I still had the original CD, I deleted the track from my computer and the ITUNES cloud. I then took the original CDS and reimported them into ITUNES again. This also fixed the problem. It was time-consuming, but it still work correctly.
Update: Since yesterday, I was excited that my tracks were now playing correctly in my devices. I guess that I got excited too soon becuase today I noticed that now NONE of my 10000 tracks will play on my devices through the cloud. I am shocked and highly upset with APPLE.
I am starting to sync all my songs to Amazon.com's music cloud. I plan to use it as a backup becuase I am learning now that I can't completey depend on the ITUNES Match unless I want to spend hours looking for a solution for their many system errors that seem to pop up these days. Hopefully you will be able to get a solution to your problem too. I know this can definitely be a pain...

New iTunes Store Songs Cut Off Early

I just downloaded two new songs from the Store. Each cuts off and ends with about a minute left. Having paid for both songs, I expect them to play. Is this fixable?

I have the same problem. It's disappointing that there aren't more replies to this issue two years later. I just delete the song from iTunes and then delete the song file in the iTunes Library. Then I go back to the store and redownload it. It asks if you would like to "purchase" the song again. Say Yes. You can download the song for free(You won't have to pay again). Then you have to listen to that song to see if it's complete. Sometimes I have to do this several times before I finally get the full song WHY??? When there are several songs on one album that are incomplete this can be a very tedious process. I bought an album today and a few of the songs are cut off like this. So I'm off to try to get my money's worth...

Cannot download iTunes Match songs - Getting error (8364)

My iTunes completed the Match process.
Generally, I have two kinds of songs with a cloud icon:
Songs that I had previously purchased, but were currently not in my library in any form. (No MP3 or AAC version.)
If I click on the cloud icon, these songs download just fine.
Songs that I had previously purchased, but were in my library in another form. (Usually as an MP3 - I had converted it to MP3 or ripped it from somewhere.)
The MP3 version will show as "Matched" and I will have an iCloud version right below it that shows with a iCloud icon and it has a status of "Purchased". But when I click on the iCloud, I get "There was a problem downloading [Whatever the song title is] An unknown error occured (8364). Please check that the network connection is active and try again."
If I try to click the same iCloud icon again, I get "There was a problem downloading [Whatever the song title is]. An unknown error occured (-50). Please check that the network connection is active and try again."
I can immediately go an download a song that fits case 1 above and it works fine.
I tried deleting the MP3 versions from my library first, and that didn't do anything. I get the same error.
iTunes Match isn't going to be all that useful if all my iCloud music isn't going to be able to be downloaded.
I also tried turning iTunes Match off and on again, and I tried restarting the computer too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm encountering the same problem, and related issues. One Allan Parsons song I purchased ("Damned if I Do" from the Eve album) was listed twice after Match completed, with two different lengths and two albums listed. Prior to running iTunes Match I only had one copy of it, so something is very broken in Apple land.

IOS Music, iCloud Match songs cut off

I've ripped about 10 CDs on my Mac. They upload from my iMac to iTunes Match. I can play them and download them on another Mac, but they do not play on my iPhone. I get about a minute, then silence for the balance of the song. All OS and iTunes up to date. I've tried deleting the library on my phone, turning iTunes match off and on on iPhone. I have deleted the songs and re-uploaded them. I need help on this one. Why will they play and download on another Mac, but not my iPhone?

Found a solution!
PROBLEM: Ripped CDs play fine on the source machine, they will stream and download to other machines via iTunes Match, but they either: A) play partially on iOS, then go silent, or B) play and then jump to the next track while displaying the prior track. Very annoying.
WORK AROUNDS: A) Manage Muic without iTunes Match via USB cable or B) Download the tracks... they will still fail in iOS Music app, but they will play in Amazon Cloud Player app.
CAUSE?: I think the mischief begins by adding songs to iTunes by drag-and-drop or by having the iTunes Match scan in iTunes interrupted.
SOLUTION: What worked for me is the following:
1) Back up for safety.
2) Have an empty trash can... that makes it simple.
3) Locate the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder at the root level of your iTunes folder.
4) Delete the tracks from iTunes with the option+delete method and tick the "Remove from iCloud option." Have the tracks put into the trash can.
5) Quit iTunes
6) Open the "Automatically Add..." folder.
7) Move the tracks from the trash can to the "Automatically Add.." folder.
8) Restart iTunes.
9) Let iTunes do it's match thing, which may take a while. Do something else while it's running. Read a book, volunteer at an animal shelter.
<time passes>
10) Check out the new tunes on your iOS device. They play now!
Hooray!

HT4914 Purging downloaded iTunes Match songs from iOS to keep memory available.?

It states that if your iOS system downloads the music from iCloud as you listen to it so its there for listening when no wifi is available! How do you purge the songs after listening so they don't take up space?

Hey there Chriskir,
It sounds like you would like to delete all the songs from your iPad but still be able to access them in iTunes Match. You can delete all the songs from the Music section of your Usage in Settings by swiping your music left:
Settings > General > Usage
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

TS1424 song cuts off halfway through?

I downloaded the album "Homes" from Jon & Roy and two songs show the time length of the song, but stop playing halfway through and skip right away to the next song. Is anyone else having this problem with this album, or another album and know where to go for help? Thanks!

Hello stephen9478
All you would need to do is delete the song from your iTunes library and then go to the iTunes Store and look in the Purchased section to download any previous purchased content. Check out the article below for more information about any previous purchases.

Why does my itunes downloaded song cut off half way through the song

I downloaded a Jorney song "Seperate Ways" only to find out that the song cuts off half way through. What should i do?

I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

I bought a song today on iTunes and it cuts off over a minute before the song ends, how can I download it again or fix the problem. It happens on my MacBook Pro and my iPod Touch 4G

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I have the same problem on my Windows 7 computer. In the right-click menu for a song one option is DELETE. However when I click that option the next window is to HIDE instead of DELETE. Apple, please help us with this.

Hi mrmoo13!
You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:
