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...

Heyas;
So I have been going through my iTunes collection - backing up and getting missing artwork, etc. and I have noticed that several songs end early/get cut-off. This happened to one song a while back that was a download from the iTunes store. I figured the file somehow got corrupted so re-bought the song from the iTunes store. Now that it has happened to several songs I am suspicious that there must be another issue than one corrupt file.
The files that cut off early are AAC format. There may be some older MP3 formatted songs that are effected as well but I have not found any as of yet. The recently effected files are ones I imported from my CD collection; but as mentioned above, I have had issues with iTunes store songs as well.
I also recently deleted all the songs from my Windows 7 PC and transferred all the files from my Mac Mini (where I keep the 'master' copies), using 'home sharing'.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post
Any suggestions?

Why are some songs cut off early?
I just transferred my iTunes library from my old macbook (where it was working fine) to my new macbook pro. I notice many songs cut off before finishing, usually all the songs from a same album. I downloaded my past purchases from icloud and still happens. My ipod, which I now synced with my new macbook is (obviously) doing the same. Anyone have any bright ideas to resolve this? I guess Apple is too busy counting all the money from us suckers who have bought their hardware and/or paid for music downloads from iTunes to take care of this.
I am having the same problem. I moved my files from an old Windows XP machine to a new Windows 7 machine. I put them in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder thinking they would all be added to my library and work just fine. Now I noticed that all songs for the same Artist get cut off at the same point in time. For one artist, it was 2:25. Any song shorter than that worked fine. Any song longer got cut off. For another artist, it was 2:17. It seems to be more with songs I downloaded from iTunes. Songs that came from CDs that I own and imported seem to be fine but I haven't checked every song. Any help Apple?

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. -
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 GrrrEveryone,
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.

Itunes store playback cuts off after 15 seconds
This just started recently with only the introduction of a new (6th Gen) iPod. Not sure if this has anything to do with the problem. Saw Windows issue with this, but not Mac.
It may be a corrupt / damaged download.
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

TS1967 I downloaded an album and many of the songs cut off early and go the next song on the list
Any suggestions?
Are you in a country, where you can download past purchases again?
Then delete the three bad songs from your iTunes Library and download them again from the store:
See: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
With iTunes '11Go to the iTunes Store
Make sure that you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled in your iTunes preferences by going to iTunes > Preferences under the Store tab. Then, click OK.
If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.
After you've signed in, click the Library button located in the upper-right of the iTunes Store.
Navigate to your iTunes library for the respective content type you wish to download using the content selector in the upper-left. Choose Music to download songs, Movies to download movies, and so on. -
Why do so many of my songs cut off early?
Before updating my iTunes, the songs had no trouble playing in full.
Perhaps I should have added that I use gmail as my mail provider as I see there are some problems with gmail elsewhere. I also have my iPad and iPhone 6 synched using iCloud. The synching seems to work mostly, though again occasionally a deleted message will reappear on one or both devices.

I recently purchased and downloaded a song from iTunes. The download was completed but the song cuts off half way through. How can I download the entire song again?
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.

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. -
Someone please help! song cuts off
I bought a cd from ITunes store, downloaded it, synced it to my nano & 1 of the songs cuts off half way thru, the next song starts (while still under the previous title) plays all the way thru then starts again under its own title.
I recommend to convert all your Music with iTunes itself. A lot of people had the problem (see earlier threads), that songs cut off during playback on iPod, even if they do play in iTunes.
The Reason is, that iPod nano has problems to read the MP3 Encoding of some converting programs. So just convert all of your songs (which wont play correctly) with iTunes itself. So go into your library, highlight these songs, right-click, choose "convert to AAC" (this is standard. You can set MP3 in the preferences in iTunes also...I've done so....thats better for other players then iPod )
After the new converting, you can delete the older (double) songs. Than just sync iPod again and you're done.

I've installed iTunes and then from an external hard drive added my iTunes library. I've updated my iPod as I had downloaded a new album but some songs (new and old) are cutting off before they should end. Any ideas how to fix this.

It's a 60 GB iPod Video (5th Gen, I believe)
have you checked the settings, then ? is crossfade enabled or what ?
Do you think it's possible that it has become corrupted in some way?
why don't you start a new thread in the appropriate forum (http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=157) ? the users there may be better equipped for this question.
Or maybe it's just time to upgrade? I've been ready to buy a 160 GB iPod for a while now
consider getting a refurbished unit: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod?mco=OTY2ODY2NQ.

HT203433 Songs cut off in middle downloaded latest American idol ablum
Just purchased American idol latest ablum and the songs cut off in middle
That is usually the result of a downloading problem. You can download fresh copies (at no charge) by following this guide: iTunes 10 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
In the unlikely event that the new copy has the same problem, it could be a defect in the store master file. If that happens, you cannot correct it yourself, so report it to iTunes Customer Service. -
A month ago I bought an album, a few of the songs on said album cut off towards the end( last 10 seconds or so, no big deal just annoying). Today I bought an album and same issue is happening only some songs cut off about 10 seconds in. I've tried playing the songs in another media player but the same thing happens. These two albums are the only things I've purchased at the itunes store in the past 2 months. The rest of my library is unaffected. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how I can fix it?
Something similar happens to me, too, except the song will cut off and the screen reverts back to the default home screen. Like you, these are the same songs that play in my iPod without any issues. The same thing happens with the web browser - it will just drop off and revert to the home screen.
I'm wondering if we might have a couple of defective phones. I just got my phone yesterday.. -
