Cd ends prematurely

Question

Sometimes a CD will end prematurely on my ipod touch.  It seems the time counter thinks it is further along than it should be, so it reaches 0.00 before the true end of the CD and cuts it off.  If I go back and play the last few minutes of the CD it cues up properly and plays to the end.  How do I prevent the premature cut off from occurring?  I've down loaded the CD's into my computer and into iTunes then onto my ipod.

Hey cmir,
I found the following resource that may provide more information:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
- Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
- Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
- Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Once you have redownloaded the music, you'll want to replace what is on your device with the new music. I would advise you to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPod touch).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your device, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
Thanks,
