ITunes stores songs at various places

I use iTunes 7.3 for Windows. When I buy songs from iTunes store, most of them will be stored correctly to my partition D: and into the correct path. But from time to time some of the songs are stored on partition C:. For example, I owned an album with 10 songs. Downloading 10 songs, 7 songs are placed correct at D: and 3 songs are placed on C:. Why is this?

A suggestion: May anti sypware tools or virus scanners, always active as backgroud processes, block files or directories and confuse iTunes?
I found this entry in the advanced preferences tab: "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library". May this can help to avoid spreading the music files all over the PC while downloading.
Yesterday iTunes deleted two files of 15 from an new purchased album. These two files were stored for no reason in a directory named "downloads" within the iTunes music dir. I closed iTunes, then started it again. It needs approx. a minute to start, heavy HD activity and then this two files are lost, nowhere to find.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.

ITunes Store Song Display List-Change Back?

Is there a way to change the way iTunes Store songs are displayed in ver 9.x like they were in the older version of iTunes?
The songs are now displayed in a very small viewing window and the colums can't be adjusted to view the song data...everything is truncated.
Also, you used to be able to right-click on a song and "Get Info" about the album, song, etc.
Not a big fan of this new interface...it's very limited.

I might have a solution. I suspect Apple will delete this post if they check however. Actually I will put in a post separately, and keep this as I have a few items/problems to add:
1. I buy a lot of classical music. It no longer lists the composer, or allows me to choose what information is displayed in the headers (much less, as we know being able to size it to see all text). This makes iTunes virtually worthless to me.
2. I only upgraded after receiving a gift album, and though it said I needed version 6 or higher, and I had version 7.6, it forced me to go to the latest version (the hated 9, as far as I can tell from forums). Then it did not allow me to retrieve the gift because I am studying in the UK and it was purchased in the USA. (Note that before upgrading I could use and buy on any site USA or UK.)
So, useless information on tracks and inability to gift etc internationally, makes version 9 a big stinker for me.
I am going to try to revert to an older version. Detail to come.

Burning MP3 disks from purchased iTunes Store songs

Making MP3 disks from songs I have purchased from the iTunes Store is pretty inconvenient: first I have to make a Music CD, then I have to reimport the files as MP3s, then, finally, I can make an MP3 disk. Is there something I'm missing? I wish it was easier.

Buy the iTunes Plus tracks & those can be directly converted to mp3. Also, if you need mp3 tracks, you might want to take a look at Amazon.com's download service which offers unprotected mp3's at a higher bitrate.

Burning iTunes Store songs to MP3 CD function removed?

iTunes won't let you burn your iTunes purchases to an MP3 CD anymore? I have done this in the past for most all of my library of iTunes store purchased songs and are backed as MP3 audio CD's in addition to my backup of the Mp4 files. I pack MP3's on CD's to load into my car cd bank. I can no longer take the music I've purchased to my my car as I've done in the past. I purchased music based on this ability (transfer to MP3 CD's) in the past instead of buying the CD.

To best of my recollection, it has never allowed this. iTunes onloy burns tracks to an MP3 CD that are already in MP3 format.
I can no longer take the music I've purchased to my my car
That depends where it is purchased from. The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format, which iTunes cannot burn to an MP3 CD. Amazon.com (and most other online music download retailers) sell songs in MP3 format, which can be readily burned to MP3 CD.

Itunes store songs won't play? Even after I authorized my computer...

I purchased a handful of songs from Itunes store a few months ago.
Recently they started not playing and said I had to "authorize" them for my computer.
I made an Itunes store account and signed in to authorize the songs, but when I try to play them it asks me to authorize them again and then says "This computer has already been authorized".
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I had the same problem after I purchased a cd online in the iTunes store on my work computer. It asked me to authorize the computer to purchase the songs, and then repeatedly asked me to authorize the computer to play the songs.
I just spoke with Apple Care and it seemed to fix the problem. I am using a PowerMac G5 and running Mac OS X 10.4.11 as well as iTunes 8 so the following steps might vary according to your make model etc...
Shut down iTunes and open your hard drive found on your desktop.
On the left side you will find a "house" icon with a file name you have specified.
Inside that file you need to open the "Library" folder.
Inside the "Library" folder you will find a "Preferences" folder. Open that.
Now you will find a list of of files and folders. Many of the files will start off with "com.apple..."
Find any and all files that read "com.apple.iTunes..."
I had three ("com.apple.itunes.plist", "com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist" and one other I cant remember the specific title to)
Highlight all those files and drag them into your trash.
Once they are in your trash, restart you computer and open up iTunes. Things should work now.
Apparently this resets some preferences (or something along those lines).
Hope this helps, and I always find Apple Care to be very easy to work with so give them a call.

ITunes store songs out of album order

I have a problem with two albums I've bought throught iTunes - the songs are out of order (as they should be on the album). On one album, one of the songs was part of a celebrity playlist when I bought it, and on the other, one of the songs was a single of the week.
Now, those two songs won't be put in the right order with the rest of the album - they both appear as the first song of the album. I've tried changing all of the album and song info under "Get Info" - they're named right, they have the right album liste, and have the right track number - but they still appear as the first track of the ablum in my library and on my iPod.
Other than making a playlist for the album and manually arrangin the tracks, how can I fix this in my library?

I have ensured that all the details of each song in the album match up completely, i.e. the same year, artist, composer etc.
So when you checked the "details" with the Get Info window for the song, did you look in the Info tab to verify that the +Track Number+, 1 of 11, 2 of 11, etc... was entered correctly for each song in the album set?

How do make iTunes keep songs by various artists in their original albums?

How do I keep iTunes from splitting up albums like Santana's Supernatural or +70's Gold+ into numerous albums with each of the various artists listed separately? Also, I would like to be able to sync those albums with my iPod so that all of Eric Clapton's +Cream of Clapton+ is in one place and not split into collections with the various groups he recorded the songs with together.

Select a track you want to edit and use the right-click context menu or CTRL-I to *Get Info.* To edit common data for multiple tracks choose the first track, then use combinations of SHIFT-click to extend the selection and CTRL-click to add or remove individual items, then invoke the *Get Info.* dialog as above.
Here are my track titles for *The Cream Of Clapton*:
Layla \[As Derek & The Dominos\]
Badge \[As Cream\]
I Feel Free \[As Cream\]
Sunshine Of Your Love \[As Cream\]
Crossroads \[Live\] \[As Cream\]
Strange Brew \[As Cream\]
White Room \[As Cream\]
Bell Bottom Blues \[As Derek & The Dominos\]
Cocaine
I Shot The Sheriff
After Midnight
Swing Low Sweet Chariot
Lay Down Sally
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Wonderful Tonight
Let It Grow
Promises
I Can't Stand It
Each track has the Artist & *Album Artist* set to *Eric Clapton* (Info tab). *Part of a Compilation* (Options tab) is set to No. The album is properly organised in iTunes, my son's iPod and my iPhone. Hopefully, taken together with my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, you'll now be able to see what needs to be done for your other problem albums, otherwise feel free to ask for more clarification.

TS1277 cannot play most songs in Libary even though purchase from Itunes store, songs have astrick in front, how do I fix this problems

Hi,
Please help, having problem with Library, had compter crash, got fixed but now cannot play most songs as it has been marked as cannot find file and has astrick in front, most songs were puchased from Itunes, cannot seem to get support from Apple, does anyone have fix, as there is 300 songs not playable, please help,

The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

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...

Transferring iTunes store song to 3rd gen ipod

I just downloaded a song from the iTunes music store and then tried to transfer it to my husband's 3rd gen iPod. I received a message saying that I needed to d/l the newest iPod Updater software, which I installed. I received the same message when I tried to transfer the song again. I re-installed the software and received the same message again. I have purchased music from the iTunes music store and transferred it to this iPod in the past so I don't know what could be the problem. I would welcome any help anyone can offer. Thanks!

After installing the iPod software on your computer, open the most recent version of the iPod updater in your /Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater/ folder, and click the Update button when the iPod is connected to your machine. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update procedure.
