Corrupted Music?

I was just trying to play some music that I had in my iTunes library when the error message saying the file or directory was corrupt. I had to delete the entire CD from the library because the same message appeared if I tried to play any of the tracks. This morning I was playing the music just fine. Now when I try to re-rip the music to iTunes the message "Error occured while converting the file "Gone". The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
So I switched over to Windows Media Player and imported the CD without any trouble. Went back to iTunes to try and import the music and convert it, but the same error message pops up. Whats going on?

Gopha apologises.

  • Corrupted music files and won't play on external speaker

    My new Touch is starting more and more to corrupt some of the music files with pops and jitters and silence. It will also occasionally go into a mode where it will not play on internal speaker. It has no volume bar either. I have to reset all settings to get it back working. I noticed this started after connecting to a blue tooth system in my car. (Ford's Sync system) I don't know if the IPod is going bad or if the bluetooth connection caused problems. I won't do that again! Ford's Sync acted unhappy too. Any suggestions are really appreciated.

    Note that the corrupted music is now when I am listening to head phones not on the Ford Sync. Looks like others are having trouble with Ford Sync?

  • Recover lost deleted corrupted music files tracks from iTunes match icloud

    Just spent an hour on Apple's tech suypport line, all to figure out how to recover lost/deleted/corrupted music files/tracks from iCloud / iTunes Match.  Here's how to do it:
    ASSUMPTIONS:  You're in iTunes on your computer, logged into your iCloud account.
    Within iTunes, in the left-hand pane, select your Music library.  Alll your tracks should appear in the right-hand pane.   Those that are missing from your disk should be marked with an asterisk icon to the left of the track.    Do the following...
    ...select all the missing/lost/deleted tracks (using the option button), and hit the delete button.
    NOTE:  when the delete dialog box comes up, make sure you do ***NOT*** click the "Delete from iCloud" selection!!!
    ...once deleted, select all the same tracks again, then hit the right mouse button, then select "Download".
    All the tracks should start downloading, one by one, from iCloud.
    NOTE:  If I were you, I'd perform this operation on discrete chunks (no more than 500 at a time), just to be safe.
    Good luck!

    You can also recover the missing tracks from the backup you are keeping on an external HDD. You are backing up, aren't you?

  • HT203200 Corrupted music files

    It's the first time I've ever experienced problems (that I know of) with corrupted music files from iTunes. I have three incomplete music files that were downloaded. What do I do to get these corrupted files replaced with complete files?

    Thanks for replying so quickly Winston,
    However, I can't find where I can 're-download' these songs. According to the purchased window for the selected album, these files were 'downloaded' and there doesn't appear to be an option for me to use to re-download.

  • IPad 2 music does not play and high resolution pictures get corrupted when syncing through iTunes on 64 bit Win 7.  Anyone else have a problem with iTunes corrupting music and pictures from 64bit machine?

    Works from a 32 bit XP machine.  Does not work from a 64bit Win 7 machine.  It's 64 bit that seems to be the issue; the music won't start playing, and for pictures, it's when they're more than 768x1024 resolution that they appear very low resolution and/or corrupt.  None of the normal tricks work (different user account; different USB port; different USB hub controller) and the problem is replicable.  The music and JPEG and PNGs, however, are fine if transferred via a Windows network to a 32 bit machine ie it's not the music/image files.

    Dear Katrina, the problem has finally been solved, with the help of a computer-savvy friend of mine who came round this afternoon. As a courtesy, and to thank you for all your help in this matter, I want to share the solution with you.
    A piece of the puzzle was missing, as you said, and it lay in the tenth line of the XML document I relayed to you....
    <key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/C:/Users/Simon/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Media/</string>
    My friend spotted that the command string contained a sub-folder of the iTunes folder called "iTunes Media". iTunes was expecting to find all my music there, but that folder didn't exist.
    So I created a new folder called "iTunes Media", and moved all my musical content into it, leaving all the command files in the original iTunes folder.
    Then I moved the "iTunes Media" folder into the "iTunes" folder, so that it was a sub-folder of the latter.
    Then I re-opened iTunes and - joy of joys! - everything works once again. I am re-united with all of my music, and without having to make over 14,000 manual location exercises. I can't tell you how exciting that is.
    The mystery is solved, and what had me so puzzled seems obvious now. Thanks again for your help. Without you I might never have got to this point.

  • ITunes corrupted music on iPod touch

    I connected my 32GB iPod touch to the computer this morning and found that it immediately corrupted all the music on the ipod and made it inaccessible.
    The normal screen came up to do the sync, but then the "Capacity" display showed 15GB classified as "other" (there are approx 15GB of music) on the device. On the device itself, when I tried to access music, it stated "No music". Attempting to re-sync failed as it said there was insufficient space on the iPod to store all the music (as it is just over half full).
    I'm currently having to do a restore.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running iTunes 7.7 and v 2.0 of the firmware.

    Hello,
    I bought my iPod Touchy (because it is very touchy these days), 32G on June 12, and it was quite stable, a few crashes, but nothing serious until I installed iPhone 2.0, and I was very enthusiastic about the new App store, I purchased about a dozen apps, and installed a lot of free apps as well.
    I have observed that the crash where all the music and videos go "poof", happens shortly after installing some new apps, or updating new apps. It starts with some apps, quitting a few seconds of touching their icons on the springboard. At one time, I shut down my iPod and rebooted it, and everything seemed OK. However, on Tuesday, three days later, I added a few more apps, and went to try them, and some apps crashed, and I rebooted again, and it did nothing to help. After rebooting, ALL the apps did not work and all the music and videos dissappeared. I was very cross after that. I spent the whole afternoon, restoring, my Ipod and it took at least 3 hours to get it back on its feet.
    The problem seems to come from some DRM manager within the ipod that either crashes, or gets corrupted somehow upon sync with iTunes, which causes the music and videos to dissappear. I have an iPod Nano, and had instances when my purchased music wouldn't play, and had to resync to get it to play again. However for the iPod touch resync doesn't help, and a complete restore is the only solution.

  • ITunes corrupting music?

    I've been using iTunes for a long time now, but am just so fed up with it and have naturally moved on to Enqueue. However, it still affects me because the other music software takes the files from the iTunes folder, and my iPhone still has to sync, so I still have this problem. iTunes seems to be corrupting my mp3 files, and even the CDs I've scanned to my computer have gotten corrupted in some way, because all of the sudden music players (starting with iTunes) want to go back 30 seconds in the song in the last 10 seconds, and then 5 seconds later skip to the next song (or it's just in some random order like this). It's really annoying, and there is absolutely no motivation over here to reimport all of my CDs, because that would take too long.
    Is there any way to fix this problem? It's really, really annoying. Thanks!

    Same issue here. Im noticing glithced files more and more lately. All my CDs are stored in my attic, what a pain in the ___!!! Id even buy iTunes Match so I could get new versions of the music, but my song library is too big. There is no way for me to know the level of damage to my music caused my this mysterious corruption in iTunes.
    FYI, I never experience corruption in other types of files on my computer--everything is ship shape (Hard drives check out good too).

  • Corrupted Music Player for Nokia 5233

    Please help me find the software to restore my Nokia 5233 Music Player. It was corrupted by a virus when i downloaded an MP3 song from my desktop computer. I've already removed the said virus from my PC and mobile phone. Since then, everytime i tap the "All Songs" from the menu music library, this message suddenly appears on the screen of my mobile: "File is corrupted. Operation cancelled." Nothing happened when i restored it to factory setting.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks coolbelief,
    I tried formatting again my mem card for the 2nd time, inserted it again into my phone card slot, switched ON my unit and verified its content by selecting Office>File Manager>Eroot dir of my mem card)>Installed Files.
    I was very much surprised when i saw the "Piano Touch" application in drive Emem card). I haven't seen this kind of application before
    Suspecting that it was a virus, i immediately removed it from the "Installed Files" folder using File Mgr.
    Thanks a lot for the support and for advising me to use File Manager. Now, my Music Player is working well.

  • Corrupt music files..?

    Hi there
    I've recently been having ALOT of trouble with iTunes. I bought a macbook a few months ago and it was working perfectly up until a few weeks ago. I download alot of music (all from rapidshare/megaupload etc). I had a rather large iTunes library, about 18 GB of music. It started to freeze alot, causing every other program i had running to freeze too. I couldn't use force quit at all, and had to hold down the power button every time. It then got to the point where simply opening iTunes caused the whole computer to freeze. A message came up to say my library was corrupt (or something to that effect). I deleted the whole library then manually loaded each album into it again. Same problem occurred. I tried a different program, Songbird, worked for maybe 3 days then started freezing exactly as iTunes did. I've resorted to listening to music on Youtube until i can sort this out, very annoying. Could it be that there are corrupt files in the music i've been downloading or something? Even now Finder and Safari occasionally freeze up which is very irritating.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, i need to get this sorted, i can't work without iTunes for much longer!
    Iain

    Well it sho' don't sound like the problem is in iTunes.

  • Corrupt music library

    When using the iPod function on my iPhone my music sometimes stopt and disapears. When opening the music button the program is hanging and returns after a few second to the home screen.
    When using spotlight on the phone it finds the music but it not playing it.
    When i'm using a third party music program it plays the music without any problem.
    Can it be an app that is corrupting my music database?
    When restoring the phone everything is working perfectly
    Please advice.

  • How to find corrupted music files causing sync problems (dotted grey circle)?

    I'm having the dreaded dotted grey circle problem and it's driving me mad.  Based on what I read in the for a it could be because a new music upload is corrupted, but how do I find it, when each try to sync last two hours?  And then to de-sync again lasts another half hour, to resync again lasts another two hours ... My life is not long enough for this crap!
    Often I have no idea what it's doing - "waiting for changes ..." ... should I wait hours for something happen only to realise nothing's happening??

    Is that even possible? We're talking about a 6-year-old iPod thereabouts.

  • How to remove corrupted music files?

    I had a list of music files in my gallery. I wanted to remove all, then i marked all n deleted but then it shows me 'System Error'..
    so i tried to deleted them off through memory card. Files deleted but still appears in my gallery. Tried to delete again but this time it shows Files Corrupted.
    pls, I need some adviseon how to completely remove them.
    Thanks.

    My new 5800 had the same problem.
    I fixed it like this:
    - first used the Content Copier in the OVI suite to backup the memory card.
    - then go into the FileManager application on the phone, select the memory card and then under Options->Memory Card Options select "Format". This will wipe all the data off the memory card.
    - Then I restored the memory card from the backup using the ContentCopier again (otherwise you end up losing all the Nokia Maps)
    - Switched the phone on and off again.
    - Going into the music player, it came up with a message like "Looking for music files" or something.
    - Once this had finished, all the working music tracks were back in the library but the corrupt ones were gone.
    No other problems that I can see after doing this.
    regards

  • Invisible corrupted music files / progressive problem

    I just discovered I have a growing corruption problem in iTunes. It seems to be affecting only songs which I have created myself from my own commercial CDs. Sons acquired over the internet are not affected.
    All of my songs show up in the master list on iTunes. I am syncing to a 1st generation 4gig Nano. I am at the capacity limit or within 25 mgs below the limit. I recently realized that I wasn't listening to some of my music & I thought that was odd. I then discovered that the songs are invisible & cannot be accessed on the Nano.
    I removed the songs from iTunes & trashed the files. I tried to recreate the songs again from the original comercial CD. I again found out I could not sync them to the Nano. The message I recieved was that the songs in selected playlists could not be added because they exceeded the storage amount on the Nano. iTunes indicated the total storage amount on the Library was at 3.75mgs at this point.
    I found that if I deleted them again & synced, I could. So far so good.
    Now I have found that even after going through the ENTIRE library and trashing every single file that appeared in the library but did not show up on my Nano, this problem is a progressive problem & is converting what I thought to be safe files into corrupted files.
    What can I do about this? I am now spending 1 hr each time I want to sync & is becoming a night mare.
    I also considered trashing iTunes & reinstalling, but I
    a) cannot find the root application on the HD
    b) cannot find the original iTunes older (not 7.02) application anywhere.
    mac   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Have you done the '5 R's' to your Nano? http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    FYI - the Nano will not actually hold 4 gig - it will be a little less - but you knew that.
    All tunes on the Nano/iPod are 'invisible' by default when viewed via the Finder. You can view the files by using a program that will show you invisible files such as TinkerTool.
    Your iTunes app should be in the Applications folder. If not then do a Spotlight search of your HD.
    To find older versions of iTunes go here http://www.oldapps.com/downloadiTunesmac.php
    You will need to remove from the HD>Library>Receipts>iTunesX.pkg - move the iTunesX.pkg to the trash along with the iTunes app.
