Error playing bonus tracks

It seems this just started happening. If I rip a CD of a album that is also available in the Music Store and that CD contains bonus tracks not available in the Music Store, the bonus tracks will not be playable over the cloud. The tracks will show up on the device (in my case, all of the other iTunes installation, iPhone and Apple TV), but attempting to play them results in a download error. The other tracks download and play fine.
***? Is Apple trying to enforce the version of the albums of the user's locale? In my case, the two albums I've noticed this on so far are imports.

Ok, good. Sounds like you just need to force the DB to reload then. Two trouble shooting steps.
1. Force quit the Music app from the App Switcher.
2. If that doesn't work then toggle the iTM service off, launch the Music app to let the content clear out, then toggle the service back on.

SD Card Playback 'Bonus Track'

I have converted my iTunes playlist to MP3s.
I copied my playlist / songs onto my SD Card.
When I put the card into my car stereo I get a 'bonus' track after every sond, which is indicated by an error code by my car stereo.
Results, I play track #1 and the song plays fine, then goes to track #2 and the error is displayed, next it progresses to track #3 and plays the next song.
This is very frustrating as I have over 500 songs on my SD Card and fast forwarding on the radio can be a bother.
How would I remedy this issue when I copy my songs onto the SD Card so I will not have these 'bonus' tracks?

N-series Music Player plays album tracks in alphab...

This bug is still in the N85 firmware (V 30.019). So the firmware has now been updated twice, with the error still in it.
However, I have found a workaround, that is easy to use and does not require too much work. It's a bit on the geeky side, I'm afraid, but not that difficult.
The Problem
I have found that N85 (and presumably many other N-series devices as well) cannot correctly read and play music albums, but instead plays the tracks in alphabetical order. The same occurs no matter how you transfer the audio to the device. Even thought the Music Player cannot read the tags in the MP3 files, but it does handle M3U playlists correctly.
Background
[A short explanation for those of you who don't know what M3U playlists are. They were originally developed to be used with the computer music player WinAmp, but have since become a rather common little tool. Playlist is basically a text file, with a name like michael_jackson_thriller.m3u, that lists the contents of a music album (or indeed any other collection of music that you like) and describes the sequence of music files to be played. It sort of tells the music player application what you want to hear and in what order.
When you double click an M3U playlist in your computer, your music player software will open and play the music files in that playlist, automatically. In other words, a playlist does not contain any music, but instructions about where to find them in your computer's or device's memory. You can use playlists in your Nokia N-series phone's music player as well.]
The Solution
Always include an M3U file with each album that you transfer to your phone. Then, instead of the album open the corresponding playlist and hey presto! it plays correctly. As an added bonus, you get noticeably shorter gaps between tracks, which is especially nice when you play mixed music (like DJ sets or classical music). Please note that you can't use PLS files (another common playlist format).
What you want to do is get a helper application to your computer that can easily (or even automatically) create playlists, and then transfer them to your device's Music folder in mass media mode. The simply update your Music Library in your phone and go to Playlists in the Music Player.
I have found the following (Windows) applications particularly useful.
Oddgravity Playlist Creator
A compact tool that creates playlists automatically. I usually select one folder (one album), let the app create the playlist in the same folder, and than just drag (copy) the folder to my phone's mass memory. The whole thing takes something like 60 seconds.
iTunes Export
A tool that turns your iTunes playlists into M3U playlists. Can be fully automated.
Medieval CUE Splitter
If you use CUE files to split whole albums, this app can create M3U files while you split the album file.
PS Otherwise I think that Carthage should be destroyed, and that Nokia really should fix that bug!

NO .
E series have the basic features of NOKIA'S music player while hi-end Nseries phones have extra software wise better performance and some of them have better audio chip.
Why is this?
Just to distinguish it is an ESeries phone and that is a Nseries?

ITunes can't play all tracks on a cd

I have a brand new Dell XPS 730 gaming pc. Previously, I was running Vista 32 bit that it came with. The other day I reinstalled Vista 64 bit and installed itunes for 64 bit vista. When I put in either regular audio cds or burned cds, itunes will only recognize a few tracks and just skip the rest. When trying to import a track it skips over it takes about one second and it sees it as being like hundreds of hours long. I tried multiple cd's that work PERFECTLY FINE in a cd player on my boombox. I also then tried these in Windows Media Player 11 and the same exact issue occurred. WMP gave an error message saying there was something wrong with my drive. I have two DVD-RW drives. I tried this all on both drives and same issue happened. I find it hard to believe that in the span of a day both of my drives had something go wrong with them that they can't read discs properly, especially when I can play any DVD games fine and can burn discs using my Roxio burning program perfectly fine as well.
I don't understand why the same problem would be happening in WMP if it was a problem with itunes. I'm guessing it could be an issue with Vista 64 bit not working properly with the DVD drives, i'm not too sure. I just find it odd that this problem would crop up when my pc was working fine in 32 bit with iTunes. Anyone else having this problem, and anyone actually found a solution to it yet?
Below is the diagnostic I ran with a regular audio cd in each drive that work fine on my boombox cd player. It's definitely not recognizing them properly as you can see in the track times of like 20 hours plus when they're only 4 to 6 minutes long.

I have a similar issue, pleae let me know if you've figured this out.
On mine, it will play approx 1 minute of an audio CD, then quit. Will not play subsequent tracks at all, and skips them as you describe when trying to import. Same result in iTunes and Windows Media player. But I was able to play a DVD movie and also to burn a copy of a CD. Very odd.

ITunes 7.1 will not let me play any tracks...

iTunes 7.1 will not let me play any tracks, it opens up fine and I can do pretty much anything else with it but when I double click or press play on a track an error message comes up and iTunes has to close. This has only been happening since I uploaded the new 7.1 version of iTunes, can anyone help me with this problem please?
I have sent an error report to microsoft but that doesn't seem to help me.

Can you play your tracks with Quicktime?
If not, you might try uninstalling quicktime and installing the stand alone version, which is option2 here:

Can"t play itunes tracks on the Mac

All of a sudden an "!" appeared next to all tracks, on the left. When trying to play a track I get error message "...song could not be played because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I click Locate it goes to my Finder window. Much of my music was downloaded from the music in my iPod after my PC crashed. I changed the USB port to which my external drive was connected, but that was all that was modified on the computer. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Make sure you have the external connected before you launch iTunes. If you had it connected, launched iTunes, unplugged and then reconnected it, iTunes probably lost the path.

"No License to Play this track" messages

2"No License to Play this track" messages?There seems to be a lot of "no license to play this track" error messages here, but none seem to match mine. I use my ZEN MX for audible books.
I transferred the files numerous ways from Netlibrary and they will play using Windows Media Player from my ZEN. But not on the ZEN directly.
I've updated the firmware, and reloaded the files already.
any help?

I had this problem when I downloaded NetLibrary files using Firefox browser. NetLibrary also has very good tech support. The problem was fixed by downloading the file using Internet Explorer

Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

IPod won't play album tracks consecutively, only one at a time

So I was trying to listen to some Brian Eno last night.
How do I tell my iPod that Brian Eno soundtracks are, um, soundtracks - as in, intended to be played piece after piece, one through thirteen? For example, if I go into eg a Kasabian album, I can play the whole thing without having to re-find the album for each individual track, + the tracklisting in the 'Now Playing' window on the iPod shows '1 of 13', '2 of 13', etc.
But if I try to play Eno's The Pearl, the 'Now Playing' display tells me each track is '1 of 1' - so it will only play one track + I have to go back into the iPod + manually select track 2, track 3, etc (which are all still '1 of 1'). And here's the weird part, if I look at the same tracks in the 'Get Info' window on iTunes on my laptop, each track is clearly labelled '1 of 13', '2 of 13', etc. Whassup with that then? It seems as if that info simply isn't making it as far as the iPod.
I tried designating the album as a compilation, but this just made Eno vanish from the Artists menu + didn't solve the problem.
Double weirdly, this seems to be a problem I have only with Brian Eno - is he on some sort of Apple blacklist??!
For the moment I've got a workaround, in that I've made Eno into a playlist - but surely there's got to be a correct solution?
Any help gratefully received. Thanks.

How do I play all tracks on an album sequentially on iPod nano 6th generation ?

I have an ipod nano 6th generation. I want to play all tracks on an album sequentially (as if I was playing a CD) without having to select each one in turn. On my ipod nano it repeats the same song and wont move to the next one automatically. can anyone help ?

The repeat setting can be found from the Nano's Now Playing screen. While playing a track, swipe to the right to bring up additional controls including the scrubber bar, as well as the repeat and shuffle otpions. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.

Playing a track on more than one computer

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it's possible to play an iTunes track on more than one computer (i.e., running iTunes) at a time? I have my main iTunes library downstairs, connected to an AirPort Express which is connected to my home surround system. While I'm playing a list through this setup, does anyone know if I can get another computer (Mac with iTunes 7.3)in my house to also be playing the tune at the same time (giving me the same music both upstairs and downstairs). I know I can play the track via a shared iTunes library (doing that now), but I want to have the track in synch as people move through the house. Any thoughts?
Cheers,

How can i stop itunes changing manually typed in genres when playing a track?

hi,
for a long time, itunes has been changing genre information that i typed in manually when playing a track, example giving "soundtrack" to "Filmmusik" or "rock" to "Rock" (i prefer lower case letters). until upgrading to itunes 11, it was able to edit the localizable.strings file and set the predefined genres to lowercase and "Filmmusik" to "soundtrack" and so on. now i had to install itunes 11 to run my new ipod, and the localizable.strings file looks quite different. it doesn't seem to be the file now where the necessary updates have to be done.
therefore, first question is if anyone can tell me where i can find the predefined genres and update them? then i will have a workaround at least.
actually, i would prefer to stop itunes changing track information in any case. i've spend more than a year to import all my cd's and used lots of time to have reliable track informations. i don't want the software to change my data without me committing any change. also, even worse, itunes updates the aac-file itself as well. i used to use the last updated information as a criteria in intelligent playlists, but itunes makes it impossible to get the expected result with its unwanted updates.
so, any help will be aprreciated. in case it should matter, i have an imac with os x 10.6.8. the problem seems to occur only in itunes, when i play the tracks on my ipod, the information remains unchanged. and since i read about similar problems with songs from the itunes store - all my tracks are imported from cd manually.
regards,
andi

Dependent upon which view you are using to look at the album, they will be playing in the "view" order. For example, in the screenshot below, in the Songs view, I have a view of an album like this, while the song "Follow Me" is playing:
Look carefully at the picture and you will notice that the sort order for this view is in "reverse Last Played order", and if you now look at the Track No. column, you will notice that "Follow Me" is track 12, the last one on the album. If you also look at the Up Next list, you can see every track from the album, in the same order as they appear in the main window, so it will play in reverse order.
To play this album in the correct track order, I simply click on the Track No. column header (so that the arrow is pointing up) and then select the track at the top of the list, track 1, "Sunset Song". Look at this screenshot:
Notice that now, the tracks in the Up Next list are in track order and the album will play in the correct order.

On itunes everytime I try and play a track the warning 'the song could not be played because the original files could not be found' please can anyone help me? Thanks

Hi. I have been having problems with my PC and recently removed a lot of rubbish to clear it somewhat. I dont know if that is relavant however on top of that I have just received my replacement iPad2 which i had a proble with and thought I would just tidy up my tunes before sycing. The problem is that everytime I click to play a track in iTunes on my PC, whilst the track is showing on my itunes, it comes up with a warning 'the song cannot be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to find it'. I have tried clicking 'locate', but all that appears is 'music Library' 4 different dates. Help i am very confused, can any shed any light on this
Thank you

Sounds like you have somehow moved your itunes music library to a different location to where iTunes thinks they should be. Your music should be in a folder called "iTunes Media>Music". If they are located there, try going into iTunes, right clicking on one of the songs and then "get info". When the box pops up, on the first screen it should give a location line where it thinks the music is located. If it is differen't to where you music is stored, try and match it up to the location line that was in the "get info" box.

ITunes 9 is saying the computer isn't authorized to play purchased tracks

I installed iTunes 9 this evening, and now i can't play the tracks i purchased from iTunes on my laptop because the computer is apparently not authorized to play them but the thing is i purchased these tracks on the laptop so why is this happening? It's also treating the iPod Touch as a new iPod when i have over 1400 songs on there. The thing is i bought them last year when i had internet on my laptop but i no longer have it on there so it's become a problem authorizing the computer (again)as you need the internet. How can i solve this problem? Is there some way of authorizing the music without accessing the internet, or can i authorize my laptop's music through using Windows iTunes? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I had this same problem. I just rolled the dice and went to Store -> Deauthorize to deauthorize the computer and then immediately authorized it. Seemed to fix the problem.
On a side note, I'm apparently at 5 computers now. Does anyone know how to deauthorize old computers you don't have access to anymore?

My iP5 will not play any track not purchased from itunes Store, red circle with red square inside appears and skips the track, any ideas?

my iP5 will only play songs purchased formmthe itunes store.
all over songs, uploaded from cd's on my laptop and dragged into itunes will no longer play, a red circle with a red square in the middle appears and skips the track.
anybody know why Itunes / iP5 will no longer play all tracks, has worked for years, only stopped with the latest itunes update.

Hey Kelsieee,
First, I would try to resolve the issue with the ! in a circle that you're seeing in iTunes. There's some steps in the following article that go over what that ! usually means and how to fix it:
