Cut off songs in downloaded album

I downloaded the Carpenters Gold Album and a bunch on the songs don't play at the end and skip to the next song, how do I fix this?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Itunes 10.6.3 cuts off songs

I re-installed my Music according to Apple's instructions, but that didn't resolve the problem. Some songs are getting cut off at around the 3:00 mark, and when they do, iTunes doesn't proceed to the next song. I'm operating Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 on a brand new iMac and have never had this problem before. Has Apple fixed this, and if not, what is the fix?

Not sure if this is what you did or not but it worked for me. I am running iTunes 10.6.3.25. I deleted the cut off songs from both my ipod and iTunes on my computer (choosing to move them to the trash bin and eliminate completely). Afterwards, I re-downloaded them from the cloud by accessing my previously purchased items in the iTunes store. For what it's worth, I had to go through this process twice before it actually worked.

Ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."

ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."
reformatted ipod, resynced, same problem.
help!

I have also had the same problem...
The songs appear to be random, and when I plug my iPod into the computer it is fixed. Sure enough, a monthish later, it happens again.
When my songs get cut off, they are stopped exactly half-way through. Apparently, the iPod thinks that is how long they are, because it plays the time that it shows (the total time only goes to helf of what it normally is).
This does not seem to be a matter of old software, as I am always up-to-date on iPod software, and this has been happening to me with version 1.4.1
I have not Restored my iPod, but apparently that will not help (according to the other posts).
I hope somebody can answer this (although I've posted it twice before with no luck, so...)

My iPod Touch (iOS 6.1.3) keeps cutting off songs before they finish.

My iPod keeps cutting off songs before they finish. There doesn't seem to be a pattern - it only happens to some songs. It also doesn't cut them all off with the same amount of time remaining. The songs work perfectly when I play them back on iTunes on my laptop.
I've tried removing and reloading all the music as well as restoring my iPod to its factory settings.
Please help... it's driving me mad!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Music player cuts off songs prematurely

I have an iPhone 4S running 7.0.3. Ever since upgrading from 6.x to 7.x, the music player will cut off songs prematurely (approx 45-60 seconds too soon). I've reset the phone, re-sync'd the music, etc. It happens on 1/4-1/3 of my music, and I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Any suggestions?

I could be wrong but isn't there a stop at property on the songs? I'm not in front of my itunes right now to check. I seem to remember that but apple could have taken that property away.
As far as os7, the ipod app is extremely buggy! It crashes on me at least 4 times a day. Sometimes songs just stop for no reason. It also gets out of sync, when I unlock my phone there are times its 5 minutes behind where the song actually is.

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.

Why won't Apple fix this problem of iTunes Cutting off songs?

I've owned seven different ipods and three iPhones. On EVERY ONE OF THEM iTunes cuts off many songs after two or three seconds of playing. We're talking here about songs either uploaded from commercially purchased DVDs or the iTunes store. I have no bootleg music, I don't customize anything related to iTunes. I just buy music and download it into iTunes from MacBook Pro laptops that are similarly as standard as one can get. Yet when I listen to the albums of songs I've just purchased, random songs play for two seconds and then change to another song. When I've researched this issue across the Web I've found detailed complaints going back as early as 2004 and I can't believe that EVERY Apple iTunes system and device I've purchased over many years has behaved in this exact manner. What are these "Apple Support Communities" FOR is Apple fails to either correct the problems they report or, worse, even acknowledge problems that are documented by thousands of users of a wide variety of iTunes related products? I don't want to have to use a work-around or a reload or some of the other Rube Goldberg-like solutions others have suggested in these and other forums. I'm spending thousands of dollars on Apple equipment and software and I simply want the Apple iTunes devices and music that I buy to WORK AS ADVERTISED, which they don't. I just want my music to play as it is supposed to play. Why can't Apple make that happen?

That's happing to me, any solution ?

My iTunes randomly cuts off songs at the end. I've tried to create a new library and reimport my old library, but to no avail. Can anyone help? :)?

Hi, I am using a MacBook Pro, and downloaded the new iTunes update. I have OS X Lion 10.7.4. It all of sudden is randomly cutting off some songs before the very end of the song. I've tried to read past posts and create new libraries and re-import the old one, but it doesn't seem to help. It is not all of my purchased songs, nor is it all of my downloaded from CD songs, it's just a particularly random set of songs (I haven't checked them all, but it happens every 5 songs or so when I play the whole library on shuffle). This never happened to me before with other versions of iTunes, and when I called the support line the guy says he has never heard of this problem before... !
I have 3000 songs, so I don't want to manually bring each one in again. I am also not super technologically brilliant, so if you have had this problem too and have a simple answer, please help !!!

I have a similar problem with Itunes - the funny thing is it only does it on my Mac and not my PC running Windows 7 - seems strange the Apple software runs better on a Windows computer. There are other posts about this here on the forums that have been running for two years with no solution - and I was just about to buy a new Ipod - oh well.

ITunes cutting off songs Mountain Lion

Many of my tracks are cutting off at various points while playing. This has happened since I installed Mountain Lion. (could be highly coincidental)
They are a mix of songs I purchased from iTunes and ripped from my CDs.
I have not adjusted the stop times in the song options.
The option of "deleting and re-download from iTunes" isn't appropriate either as not all the songs are from iTunes.
Thanks for your support!
Paul

Ok, just spent awhile on the phone with Apple...we came up for a quick fix. It's basically the same as TimWillz with one addition:
Delete the tracks from itunes, empty the trash, then re-download using the purchased or iCloud in the Itunes store. The purchased link is in the quicklinks bar on the right of the itunes store homescreen. A cloud should appear once the songs are deleted, and trash emptied, and you can redownload the songs.
I didn't do anything with the "simultaneous downloads untick" as TimWillz suggested, maybe it was already unticked. But regardless, this seemed to work.
As for why this happened, apple engineering is going to look into it and should have a response to me in a few days. I'll update.

Itunes cutting off songs. Alternate media player?

I have been noticing songs ending abruptly/being cut off, but only randomly. I downloaded 28 songs 2 days ago and due to the nature of the music, it was totally unacceptable to have songs ending abruptly or being cut off! 3 hours on the phone with Apple, in conjuction with itunes support only resulted in me getting a refund. I really wanted the music! So, I downloaded Amazon's Cloud player, did a test download of 3 songs, and....... guess what? Same problem. I'm really thinking I'd like to try another media player. I assume itunes is my default media player, so any suggestions out there?

IPod cutting off songs/iTunes not recognizing iPod correctly

Hi,
I have a second generation nano using a PC with Vista operating system, and using the latest iTunes software (7.6.1.9). I have been noticing that more and more of my songs on the iPod have been cutting off, either a few seconds into the song, near the end, etc, but are just fine when played through iTunes from my hard drive. At first it was just a couple of songs, but then more and more started to cut off. Then, the iTunes started telling me that it wasn't able to read my iPod correctly and that I should restore it to original settings. I did that a few times and kept reloading the songs, but the problem still occurs seems to be getting worse. Tonight when I plugged the iPod in, iTunes said that it "detected an iPod but couldn't identify it. Unplug it and plug back in." I did, and it read it, but that particular problem also seems to be getting worse and I'm afraid soon it won't be able to detect the iPod at all (and this latest message was after I updated with the iTunes latest version). It seems like the actual iPod software is corrupted, and that its software needs to be re-installed, not the iTunes. Am I wrong in that assessment? How would I go about doing that? I can't seem to find any clear instructions and I don't see many people reporting this problem.
Thanks,
Robyn

Premium Cutting Off Songs

I am trying out Premium on a trial offer, and frankly am unimpressed.
I selected a mix of 20 or so songs > added them to a playlist > enabled hardware acceleration > made them available off line.
Every third song or so gets cut off around 30 seconds to the end of the track and skips to the next song. It is not specific to any song.
Reviewing the messages boards I found a thread stating a conflict with ITunes. So I uninstalled it completely, but the problem persists.
Am I alone in this issue? Most issues I have found on the message boards are related to skipping like a scratched CD or due to ads.
Any fixes?

From the help site:
https://support.spotify.com/problems/#!/article/Music-fast-forwards-or-skips-when-I-play
If you’re experiencing playback problems, it’s worth trying:
Logging out and back in.
Checking your internet connection is working.
If you’re using Windows, click Edit in the menu bar and select Preferences. Then uncheck Enable hardware acceleration.
Also try a reinstall of the Spotify app:
https://support.spotify.com/learn-more/faq/#!/article/reinstallation-of-spotify/?in=search
If you still have trouble,
I suggest you contact support so they can help. Tell them you already tried all of the help guides.

If you get an automated reply email telling you to check the help section or the community, you need to reply back to it.

ITunes Library cutting off songs

I posted this in another topic, but I'm not sure if it belongs here or there...
All of a sudden, my itunes library is blending songs when I play them in order. When each song has 4 seconds left, the next song on the list starts playing, as if a DJ's mixing them. It's annoying, because it cuts off the end of songs, and I don't know how it will affect the burning of CDs.
Anyone know why it's suddenly doing this, and how I can make it stop?

It looks as if you have Crossfade playback: switched on.
You can find this setting in Preferences>Playback.
hope this helps.

ITunes cutting off songs

I have a music collection over 60 Gig on iTunes and I have been noticing lately that certain songs just cut off in the middle and skip to the next song. Now when I go back to the song that skipped I try to play it to the part it skipped and it is complete silence for 10 seconds and then the song continues where it was 10 seconds later. This is happening to random songs in iTunes. Has nayone else ever seen this? Right now I am just keeping track of the songs that skip and re-importing them over again and the song is fine again but this is happening continually to different songs and becoming a bit of a pain.

I have the same problem. Most people tell you to turn the crossfade off in prefrences, which I have done, but I still have the problem.
