Music skips and stops and starts

Hello, we have just got a nano to replace a 3rd gen iPod.
I have around 50 gigs of music on a lacie USB drive, and the music plays flawlessly from here in iTunes.
However once imported into the nano, there is distortion, jumps and clicks in the music and sometimes the song will just stop and start from the beginning.
Any ideas?

IPhone - music skipping and pausing - headset problem?

I've noticed a problem when I've been out on a run with my iPhone. Late in the run the music will stop and start and skip around. I suspect the problem is in the Apple headset. I think sweat is getting into the mouthpiece/pause-advance gismo and sending false signals to the iPhone. I've also noticed (during runs) that the pause-advance feature is inconsistant; sometimes it advances, sometimes not.
I would like to upgrade the headset to the V-Moda Vibe headset as soon as those are available with the call receive/hangup function.
Has anyone else noticed these problems.

that's funny... that just occured to me last night... thought the phone was buggin out so i restored it... shoulda just did a search on the forums... now i have to reinstall all my 3rd party apps...
i was also at the gym sweatin to the oldies when this occurred... and i do believe it's the head set... i understand the pausing and playin, but sometimes the song will change back and forth and what not... very strange behavior....

Verizon galaxy nexus-music skips and static when screen is off..

What i do is download videos using youtube
downloader and convert them into mp3. Then i connect my phone to the laptop with
the usb cable. I open my computer-galaxy nexus-music, and i drag the saved mp3
from my laptop to my phone. When i disconnect the phone,I open the music app and
I listen to my music and it sounds fine when the screen is on. When the screen
is Off the music starts to skip a little and i hear static with or without
headphones. Now i used the same procedure when i load music from my laptop with
other mp3 devices and ipods and the music sounds good when the screen is on or
off with those devices. I downloaded a song from the android market and amazon,
stored it and downloaded to my phone for offline play and both songs stutter or
static when screen is off.

From the beginning, I wasn’t too impressed by the Galaxy Nexus. Why? It’s a Samsung. Would I purchase a Samsung for a basic phone? Sure, but when it comes to “top of the line” smart phones, Samsung wouldn’t be my first, second or even third choice. Now, don’t get me wrong, I contemplating parting with 299.99 to purchase the Nexus. The ics appeal outweigh some of my skepticism.. but before I buy a phone, I sit on review boards, cnet reviews, youtube reviews, etc. etc. In addition, it’s hard to trust a new phone of its kind. All the kinks (clearly) haven’t been ironed out. I, like Rushfan2112 went with the Rezound. And I LOVE it.
But do I think the Nexus is a “poor” phone? Na. Not by a long shot. Does VZW hinder the devices full potential? Of course – but we as Verizon customers should already know this – they proved so with the Iphones. Moreover, I’m a bit confused by the lack of update to the OS as well. This phone was specifically designed and released. It’s not as if we’re waiting for a complete OS change like HTC Rezound, Rhyme, & Motorola Bionic, 4 and Razr customers are. I understand that takes time because the OS has to be modified for each device. But the Nexus started with ICS, the ambiguity in the software updates is ridiculous….

Why is my itunes music skipping and how do i fix it?

my music is skipping when i play it, and it is not music that i have burned from a scratched cd, and it worked without skipping a day ago. it is not just one song, most of them skip at at least one point in time on the song. the only thing that i could think of that may have caused this is that the other day when i tried updating my ipod the cable fell out and so it was unplugged from my computer in the middle of an update, which is obviuosly bad, and then when i tried updating it again it got stuck on one song that i have since deleted. the music on my ipod that i updated works fine too. so could that have caused the problem, and how do i fix it?

Jeff, is the music skipping in iTunes? Or is it on the iPod?
If in iTunes, try this:

Problems with iTunes. Music skips and hisses. Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1.

Problems with iTunes. Music. When I put on my ear buds, I hear it more clearly. There is this skipping and hisses. If you are an old (50)audiophile like I was when I was young, it sounds sort of like a record is skipping on my turntable. When I try to play a song it skips, jumps around and the Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1. Help!!! Thanks in advanced. Spike

Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

Music skips and stutters over bluetooth

I use the default music player with a bluetooth speaker & in the car. The music will go quiet like a skipping track, but the music doesn't stop, it comes back in at the right point of the song. It's just as though it's randomly muted. I have looked online for fixes & I've cleared the cache partition twice. This helps the issue for a couple weeks, but doesn't fix it. I've had this issue since I bought the phone in early December of 2014. What should I do?

I understand your reasoning, but I'm almost positive this isn't my problem. I keep the phone in the cup holder, directly under the stereo. Also, my car is a 2013 model, so it isn't like my stereo system is outdated. Thanks for your reply.

Music skips and pauses during work out

Ciao a tutti,
I like to use my iPhone when I'm working, stapping it to my arm with an XtremMac SportWrap, and listening to my playlists.
I'm running for about 40 minutes and usually about halfway through my workout, or towards the end, the music starts wigging out. It pauses, then skips ahead to the next track, pauses again, on and on. Sometimes it just stops playing and I have to hit play again.
After my second trip the Mac Genius he replaced it. But it's now happening to the SECOND ONE!
My fear is that it's a corrupt music file, which would kill me because I have over 20,000 songs in my iTunes. The other possibility is maybe it's heating up too much during my work out. ???
Has anybody had this problem before!

One thing you might take a look at.
be conscience of any moisture getting in the microphone on the earbud cables when your working out.
This could cause the contacts to short out and as a result the music could start pausing, or skipping.
Hope this helps.

Music skips and mp4s wont add to library

My computer crashed about a month ago. I have a new computer but still have my old hard drive with all of my songs on it. I have been trying to import my library but for some reason, all of my mp4s will not go in. Also, when I play the songs that did get loaded, they skip really bad. Does anyone have any suggestions??

iTunes doesn't support avi videos. you will have to convert it to another file format to get it in iTUnes. you can search the net for programs like this. check out the "Video FAQ for iPod and iTunes" below to see what formats are supported and other info

Music Player N96 - Music starts to skip and make h...

Hi,
I recently have purchased the Nokia N96. I had a N95 which I loved and naturally thought the N96 would be a good upgrade (Which it is). My problem is that when I am playing Music (occasionally) The tracks skip and start to make horrid sounds. These tracks where all on a 2Gb Micro SD card and worked fine on my N95. I moved the tracks onto the Mass Memory. This has only started recently, I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem?
Thanks

the cure is to update the firmware. when nokia release new phones some have problems with the playback of music. so in a firmware update they fix the problems and update the audio codecs.
what happend to you happend to me but with my n91 when i first got it. updating firmware cured the problem.

I'm having this issue on my iPod and now none of my songs on iTunes will play. Not fix yet though. Have you had any luck?

Airtunes stops and starts

Just installed BRAND NEW airport express for purpose of airtunes only and it worked fine for a few hours and then the music would just stop, then start, then stop, then start for seconds at a time. It continues to do this . Very annoying. Unlistenable. Groan.
We have a wireless internet connection with a Westell Versalink 327w.

Sounds like we are having similar problems with iTunes cutting out during playback over airport express. I took it in to the Geniuses, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was, and since it is intermittent, neither can I. Sometimes it happens right away, and sometimes I get a couple of hours out of it. I am planning to upgrade my powerbook's RAM since I have a pretty full HD now, and I'll let you know if that helps.

Music app and the mother of all oversights in my opinion...

(iPhone 4S 32GB iOS 5.1)
I've highlighted the questions as i've ranted on...
This is an odd one regarding the music app. I've been using itunes match now for a little while. Album artwork is still buggy; it appears that the artwork is re-downloading every time i launch the app resulting in no artwork everytime an album is played until it's reloaded. This to me as a music lover is very annoying as i like all my musical ducks pointing the same way. So my method of getting around this was to turn off Match all together and go back to the ol' classic tried and tested manual music management. All music removed and started fresh. I load up my manually selected songs and albums, All is well. Except cover flow. For some reason now even with itunes match turned off; Cover Flow shows me a bunch of completely random albums that aren't even on the iphone yet there is no sign of them on the regular view what-so-ever. Completely unsearchable.
Anyone have any ideas on this / have the same issue?
I've taken all the usual steps, restoring the phone etc.
Next and finally the biggest annoyance with the best phone on the market.
I use my phone on the go 99% of the time. I use the earphones with the mic. For some reason during a call I can hear my own voice in my ears. This can be tested by making a call to 1-800 APPLE and blowing into the mic. There SHOULDN"T be any noise. The issue being is that i can hear a mouse pass wind on the other side of the street but the person on the other end is in the mix somewhere. When i used to have the 3gs this problem didn't exist... So i gathered must be the noise cancellation mic. Nope. Making a call with the Skype app the problem goes away. it's like being in a sound booth with just the person i'm on a call with nice and clear in my ears. So the hardware is sound. I took it the the Apple store in SOHO and spoke with a genius about it. We tried 3 iphones, 4 sets of earphones even his own personal iphone... Same problem persists. He had to concede that he had no idea why it was happening and said he now was going to be bothered by it!
Does anyone have a work around or solution?
I've even bought non Apple headphones to see if they work but to no avail. I don't need to hear myself and my surroundings Apple Devs... please fix it!!

Either.
- Which software? - many have recommended iTunes, is it really the best?
iTunes is most definitely not the best ripping tool. It has no flexibility in file naming, and does not have as good error correction as Exact Audio Copy or Audiograbber.
- Ripping settings? - audio file format???? - hard disk space needed?
This is where it gets a little tricky. Given what you are trying to, an uncompressed audio format like WAV or AIFF would fit the best, and AIFF is probably the better choice since it allows tagging of the files. Figure 10 MB per minute of music, or about 500 MB per CD that you rip. For 800 CDs, allow at least a half TB.
A compressed lossless format would be about half the size, but unfortunately iTunes does not support the leading uncompressed lossless format (FLAC), and the proprietary one that iTunes does support (Apple Lossless) has very little support outside of Apple products. So that is too much of a gamble given your requirement about "use with any player/software in the near future."
That is my opinion! Given that you have pretty strict requirements, and that you only want to do this once, do a little more research before you decide...

Music skips when I unlock my phone?

I just recently got an iPhone 5s, and today was the first time i listened to music on it. Everytime I unlocked my phone while listening, the music skipped and went back a couple of seconds, sometimes as much as 20 seconds. Can I fix this?

Should not happen (doesn't for me).
Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
