Skipping songs halfway through

Recently, my 6-month-old 80 GB iPod has been skipping songs. The song will start playing and then, at some random point, it will stop and go to the next song. If I go back and fast forward through the song past the skipping point, it plays fine. However, if I fast forward to before the skipping point, it will most likely skip again at the same point. It happens with random songs at random points. Any suggestions or solutions?

The iPod Classic seems to fail to play the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed earlier iPod's, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
Some users have suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information is often a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I've have found files for which this solution doesn't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original file back onto the iPod.

Help me!! My iPod keeps skipping songs!!!

Everytime I want to listen to a song that I put on my iPod mini, then it keeps skipping to one specific song that I don't want to listen to. When I add new songs, then it stops for a while, but then it starts doing it again! Its sooooo annoying!! Please help!!

does it skip when you play the song in itunes?
also, try resetting it.

My Ipod keeps skipping songs

While i was listening to my ipod (it was in my pocket) i accidentally knocked the buttons. Now when i play my songs it just skips every song. Only when i press pause it stops but when i press play it starts skipping really fast again.
I think this is something to do with the settings. I tried using the "Reset All Settings" button but it still does it. Any help someone can give me on how to stop it skipping would be great. Thanks

do these links offer any help?

I-tunes skipping songs halfway through!!

Hi, i am using the latest version of i-tunes on maverick and it is causing massive problems. Every song in my library is skipped around half way through making it impossible to listen to music on my mac. Has anybody had this problem or have any idea how to solve it? its becoming extremely frustrating and i am unable to listen back to anything in full. Thanks for you help

Yep, same for me. First I thought it was something with AirPlay, as I play music to my appletv on a hifi system. But I've been listening with headphones now, and same thing happens. Very annoying.

Ipod keeps skipping songs

When i want to play a certain song on my iPod, depending on the song, it'll skip it and go on to the next song. It seems to be skipping the songs i listen to the most. Is there a way I can fix this?

New ipod touch skips songs

I got an ipod touch 32GB for Christmas (December 2014). It was playing perfectly with Bluetooth on stereo as well as with mp3 cable to a portable speaker for about a week or so. Now it wants to skip my songs halfway through. I see that this is an issue with way too many ipod owners....Sadly I see no fixes or solutions on these sites. Oh, and PS ---it won't even let me update the software update that it keeps telling me t

My Ipod Keeps Skipping tracks!! HELP!

my ipod keeps skippping songs when im playing one of my playlists!. it only plays any recently added songs and i have resest it but it doesnt do anything. Is it because i often charge it through the computer????...HELP!!....

I, too, amd having the same problem! When I have my 20GB iPod in "Shuffle Songs" mode and I hit the "next song" button, it will sometimes skip the next song, or the next two songs, or even skip 5 songs before settling on one to play -- this is getting to be really frustrating!!!

New iPod randomly skipping songs

I got a new iPod classic 120GB, replacing my old 60gb. I loaded it up with my songs and stuff, and started using it, but after a while it skipped to next song halfway through a song. This happened a few times, and once the ipod even restarted itself (after displaying a low quality 8bit colour apple logo image). I then restored my iPod, and checked for latest software, and it seemed to be better for a while, but it just skipped a song again.
I'm pretty sure all the song files are mp3, but maybe some AACs. Songs that skipped played fine other times. iPod hasn't been dropped since I got it... I guess I have to take it to an apple center for warranty... Does anyone elses new 120GB skip songs?
Thanks
Rodger

Iv had my 120GB Classic since early September when they came out and iv noticed that it skips on a few song s but not many, though I do tend to listen to the same small selection of music! In my experience it has skipped at the exact same point in a particular song. as someone else has said on here, i can fast search through the song past that point and it will play the rest no problem. its like there is a speciffic marker in the song that it doesn't like. Pretty stupid if you ask me!
However, it happened to a Lost Prophets album first and the only way i found round it was to re-record the album in and its worked fine since. But since then iv found more songs that do it. Its really frustrating!!!!
I might look at taking it back then as i thought it was just my music. I didn't realise anyone else was having the same problems!
We shall see...

My I Touch keeps skipping songs, these songs play on my i tunes but wont play on my i touch

My I Touch keeps skipping songs that I have downloaded onto it. These songs play on my I Tunes but wont play on my I Touch. At first it was just a few new songs at first but now its getting worse. Help!

Hello all - I had the same problem with my iPod Touch - The problem with mine was that it started happening when I added new music to my iPod Touch it started skipping most of the songs when I tried playing it in my car stereo, it would only play some songs but not all (my solution) - I back tracked and deleted ALL the NEW songs that I had added recently and after deleting ALL the new songs I tested my iPod Touch and it started working normal again so the problem wasn't the iPod Touch the problem was one or more of the new songs I added was corrupted and it was causing my iPod to skip most of the songs I tried to play - Nothing I tried was helping NOTHING - All you need to do is back track to all the songs you added recently and delete them until your iPod Touch starts functioning normal again...Hope this helps it sure helped me ;-)

IPod was skipping songs. So I did a "restore". Now it won't sync

OK, my iPod was skipping songs. I'd play an album, it would try and play some songs, skip them one at a time. it was probably failing about 30% of the time.
So, I thought I'd try to "Restore" the iPod, and then sync it.
Restore worked great. It wiped out the iPod of all my music. Then when I tried to perform the sync, it gets about 250 songs into it, and then fails. iTunes says that it is still syncing, but it never gets past that point. Continually syncing forever.
I don't know what I can do here (aside of buying a new iPod -- that suggestion is not helpful, btw). Before I had an iPod that played about 2/3 of its songs. Now 95% of my songs are just gone.
Everyone says not to run Disk Utility on the thing, but I'm extremely tempted. But I'm at a total loss here. Any ideas?

Bump for the answer because I also have same case.

Ipod keeps repeating song, won't shuffle

ipod keeps repeating song, won't shuffle. HELP!!

While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
Any luck there?

Why does the music app on my phone keep skipping songs?

My music app on my iPhone 4S keeps skipping songs. It will show the album
cover for a second then it will skip right to the next song and sometimes it will
skip multiple songs. For example, once it skipped over an entire playlist and
went to the screen at the end when it showed all of the songs in the playlist.
I have update 6.0.1 and I haven't used the music app since the last update.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Mine is 18.2Mb it gets to about 37mb tops, Try logging out of the app, remove all apps that are running in the background then shut your phone down and restart, if that does not work hold the power and home button and do a hard reset. You shouldnt loose any data at all but make sure you back up anyway before hand, its just like a forced reboot of a computer really.
