IPod ending song prematurely

I have a 60 gig 5th gen iPod with the latest software installed on it.
I've noticed that some songs will end about 13 seconds before the actual end of the song and begin playing the next song as if it did end. This is very bothersome. I used iTunes to import the music from an actual CD. I've even tried using Sony Soundforge to create the mp3s and still have the problem. The bitrate is 192.
Does anyone know why this can happen and how to fix it? The songs DON'T end prematurely inside of iTunes. Only on the iPod.
Thanks in advance for any help on the matter.

Jeff,
Is everything up to date on your computer as well?
iTunes
iPod
Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, have you tried these?
The
Five Rs
(Especially the restore)
btabz
I was hoping to not have to do the five Rs.. well, at least the restore part... copying all my music back over to the beast takes an awful long time.
As for the other stuff - yes, everything is up to date.
As for playing the song all the way through in iTunes first before I copy it to the iPod. Well, most of them have been played all the way through on there. I don't know how that would fix the problem, but I could try that I guess.
As for burning the songs that still have a problem, and then re-importing them, I won't do that. That will lower the quality significantly by decompressing them to burn, and then recompressing them again.
If playing the song all the way through in iTunes doesn't fix it, I'll go for the Five Rs I guess, but man... that *****...
Anyone else run into this?
P.S. Thanks for the replies so far.

ITunes ending songs prematurely

Many of my songs have started ending early when played in iTunes. The songs play fine in quicktime and other players and I have checked the song info to make sure the setting are not set to play only a section of the song. This has been happening on and off for the past couple iTunes upgrades but this latest on seams to have done it to about 1/2 of my songs. Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem?

oh, and my ipod touch plays the same tracks just fine without the early ending.

Unable to sync playlists from iTunes to touch iPod, the songs sync but not the playlists

I use to be able to just plug my iPod into my computer and have it automatically update. The songs are updating from the iTunes to the iPod but the playlists are not for some reason. Someone by accident ended up deleting a playlist off my iPod, and I didnt worry as I thought when I plugged it back into my computer to iTunes it would automatically sync the playlists again, but it didnt. Any help as to what I do from here? Do I wipe everything off the iPod and start again? Thanks

Thanks, good to know that restoring it will not be my best use of time. I hope we dont have to live with it as its easier to manage playlists and make new ones from the iTunes end vs the iPod end. Thanks for your reply.

Music player cuts off songs prematurely

I have an iPhone 4S running 7.0.3. Ever since upgrading from 6.x to 7.x, the music player will cut off songs prematurely (approx 45-60 seconds too soon). I've reset the phone, re-sync'd the music, etc. It happens on 1/4-1/3 of my music, and I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Any suggestions?

I could be wrong but isn't there a stop at property on the songs? I'm not in front of my itunes right now to check. I seem to remember that but apple could have taken that property away.
As far as os7, the ipod app is extremely buggy! It crashes on me at least 4 times a day. Sometimes songs just stop for no reason. It also gets out of sync, when I unlock my phone there are times its 5 minutes behind where the song actually is.

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

After downloading to my IPOD, the songs are shown but are also seperated by the album names. Is there a way to not show these album names on the IPOD? I just want to see song titles and nothing else! S

After sync'ing my IPOD, the songs on my IPOD are separated by the album names from which they were downloaded from. Can I get rid of those album names on my IPOD somehow? I'd like to show nothing but the songs as I search thru the artists......
Please help......Apple/IPOD illiterate.....

Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

Ipod shuffles song order when syncing

ive noticed ever since i downloaded the newest version of itunes (itunes 10.2.1.1) that every time i sync the ipod with my computer, it will screw up the order of the tracks of the artist i most recently listened to ONLY on my ipod. the song order remain correct on itunes. but when i sync it again without having edited anything, it will restore it to original, or even some times mess up the order further. anyone else having this problem or know a fix to it? thanks

My best guess is that you have clicked a column header so it is sorting the tracks by something other than track number.
Try clicking on the column header above the track numbers and see if that fixes it.

Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library. For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

How do you backup ipod classic songs to computer?

how do you backup ipod classic songs to computer? i am only seeing how to backup my itunes library. i want to backup the specific music on my ipod so that when i get a new ipod, i can just restore that music that i've already filtered from my library to what is on my ipod. thanks!

I have about 6000 songs on my itunes library and i've filtered it down to 4500 on my ipod (so far) that I like and really listen to. I don't really want to go through all of that again...

When ripping a CD to iTunes to sync to iPod classic, songs are not listed in sequence. Some are missing only to find them further down the list

When ripping some CDs to iTunes to then sync to my iPod classic, songs are not listed in proper sequence. Some are separated from CD and listed elsewhere, what gives??

You probably have you Itunes music set as list and not as albums. Go to view at the top of Itunes and check as albums.

Moving iPod Mini songs to computer with burner

Help...The original computer I used to purchase my iPod mini songs from the iTunes store is no longer in working order and I need to get the majority of my Mini's songs onto my new computer so I can put them in iTunes and make new playlists, burn c.d.'s, etc.
How do I do so? Is there any way to get my songs off my iPod Mini and onto my new computer?
Thank you
S.J.

If old computer to new computer, via iPod:
In iTunes preferences, select iPod and enable for disk use.
Drag and drop the iTunes music folder to the iPod icon on the desktop.
Plug iPod into new computer, and double-click the iPod. You can then copy songs to new system

I had to restore my computer. After reinstalling itunes and sincronizing with my ipod, the music files were not organized in itunes as in the ipod: some songs were missing, some albums has no cover? Why is the sincronization not working properly?

Brand new ipod? songs already on ipod then loaded in library?

Just bought my Ipod 3 hours ago when I plugged it in, it was charging and then synchorinzing when stop they was a bunch of songs I never download never used. Just downloaded the program today never had anything in the library. Where did these songs come from. Did I get a used Ipod

As I said in your other post, it certainly could be. Maybe it's a customer return. Where did you purchase it? Was it a sealed box?
If it were me, I would certainly be contacting the seller to ask why this seemingly brand new iPod had songs already loaded on it.

IPod error sign that shows ipod end of charging cable with an arrow

my third generation iPod just got restored and now it shows the ipod end of the charging cable that goes in the bottom of the ipod with an arrow pointing to the left.
When plugged in it shows the apple icon then this error icon and shuts itself off
What do I do??
Please help me

Connect the iPod to a 6-pin FireWire port on a computer, the iPod power adapter, or a car adaptor. Until you've done one of these things, the iPod will not be able to complete the restore process, and you can't use it again until it's done.

IPod skips songs for no reason

My ipod skips songs and I do not know why or how to stop it. I have several playlists and it does it on all of them. I've deleted all the songs and re-installed them and have reset the ipod several times and this has not helped. Can anyone help me?

Diana - seems we are having the same problem. I've done everything you have. And I have gone to the Apple store to have them check. they tried to tell me that it's a Windows issue. I don't buy it. My next step is to send it in to Apple and have them send me a new one (I'm still w/in warranty)
The other thing my Pod does is after it skips a song, it either turns off or goes back to the "Music" menu. Does that sound familiar to you?
Anyone else with suggestions??!!
