Gaps in Music when copying CD onto Ipod

Have copied several CD's onto IPod 30GB Video. No matter what settings I use, Crossfade, no Crossfade, Compilations, Track numbers etc, I have gaps in the tracks when the original CD music is mixed from one track to the next. How do I get rid of the Gap during Playback?? It ruins the Mix?!

Your question gets asked on a daily basis, and has been answered many times. If you search for 'gapless playback' you'll see how just how many people inquire about this.
In short... the iPod does not support gapless or crossfaded playback.
If you want to eliminate the gaps, one workaround is to join the individual tracks together, and play them as one single track. You can do this by reimporting the CD into iTunes using the 'Join CD Tracks' feature.
See Step 3 in this article:

If you'd like to send feedback to Apple to ask that they include gapless playback as a feature in future revisions of the iPod firmware, you can do so on this feedback page.

Anyone having problems loading music purchased from amazon onto ipods?

Anyone having problems lately uploading music purchased from amazon onto your ipods? this is a recent experience for me. I had been able to do it until a few weeks ago.

There have been a handful of report over the last couple of weeks for other users who have starting getting error messages when trying to sync their Amazon purchases to their iPod from iTunes.
Most of them are getting a -50 error. If that is the case for you, see this older thread for a couple of solutions that worked for some other users.

Itunes changes the file names of all of my music when I connect my ipod...

When I open up itunes on my computer, everything looks fine. All of my music is there and I don't have any "!" by any songs. When I connect my ipod Touch and it syncs, then many of my songs have an "!" by them and if they don't have an "!" by them, they do when I click on them to get info. The file name on the "get info." page is adding "file:/localhost/" in front of the real filename path and therefore causing me to get the message that says: The song "__" could not be used b/c the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
I don't want to go and find each & every file AGAIN....what is wrong with this thing & what do I need to do to fix it once & for all?
THANKS!

Typicaly this means you have faulty copies of the music file or that the file has been moved or deleted fromt he origional spot it was downloaded to. Chances are you are going to have to update your i-tunes software and get new copies of every problem file before it willw ork again. If you are using a free version of a file sharing software(limewire,sharbear etc.) your best option would be to pay for it. It's not expensive and when you buy the software they usualy come with a virus protector to prevent you from getting bad copeis of the file.

I can't access my music when i have my ipod connected... this *****...

ok, i have a 20GB ipod with the click wheel. i heard a lot of good things about the newest version of ITunes so I decided to download it. After installing it, half of my playlists were gone... AGGHHHH!!!!
I would be able to deal with that, but now I can not access my music. What's the deal here? I can see the songs, but iTunes is not allowing me to click on any of the songs. But when I unplug the iPod, I can click on any songs in my library.
Can anyone help me out here? Thanks so much!!!

Uncheck the "automatically sync" button (or it might be checking the manually manage the ipod). If you have it set to automatically sync the music, it will automatically transfer your music and playlists from your comptuer to the iPod, which means any changes on the computer get put on the iPod. If you uncheck that button, you'll have to manually manage the music, but you'll be able to access the music on the iPod. Took me a while to figure this one out.

I lost all my music when i disconnect my ipod from my computer

ihave a 30g ipod-yesterday i was updating my ipod with new music and everything was ok but when i finished updating the songs and tried to disconnect it the ipod reset itself and when i saw there were no music left on the ipod but it still was as if it was there(i checked the memory left) so i asume it was a normal error and i just restore it but today when i tried to put the music again on my ipod the same thing happened but now i only have pictures but my music disappear after i tried to disconnect it...if someone plz know how to solve this problem plz help me because i have 17g of music and its a little boring to wait like 3 or 4 hours and then see that the wait was useless.. thanx

I have a 60g model and the same thing is happening to me. It will update like 200 songs of my 1700 and then it will say error copying to g drive and then all my songs will get deleted. If anyone knows how to correct this I would appreciate it also.

How can I get my music to copy to the iPod Shuffle?

I have a new iPod Shuffle, it shows up under the Devices in my iTunes, but when I Sync it says there is an unkown error and cannot copy the song. It displays this message for every Playlist and every song. My iTunes is current and the software on the Shuffle is current. All the songs play just fine from iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I get my songs to copy?

If you have not done so, you may want to restart your computer.
That message (about the song file not found) means iTunes cannot locate the song file where it expects to find it. Are you sure you can still play the song in iTunes (?), because you may get a yellow exclamation point next to the song, meaning the same thing; iTunes did not find the song file where iTunes expected to find it.
The consolidate command would not help if iTunes can't locate the files.
That might mean they were moved or deleted. If you do a Get Info (from right-click) on one of those songs, the Info window should tell you the expected location of the song file, on the Summary tab next to Where. Follow that path (using Windows) to see if the song file is there.

What Happens to music when you re-install ipod on pc?

I have a 20G ipod with 2,000 songs on, none of which are on my pc. My ipod no longer appears in itunes, so i am going to re-install it with the disk i got when i first bought the ipod. However, i dont know what will happen to my music, will it be deleted? Anyone re-installed an ipod with the disk, and had music on the ipod? If so, does it remain or get deleted?
Thanks

If you RESTORE your iPod you will delete all the music on it. I'd try everything else first. If you can get your computer to talk to your iPod the first thing I'd do is back up my music!

How come my music wont copy to my ipod but is already on itunes?

Try:

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.

Retaining SFX and music when copying/pasting one project to another

I noticed that when I tried to copy/paste one project into another, the video makes it, but any added sound effects and background music do not get brought along.
Does anyone know how to override this, so when I copy and paste the project, the SFX and music get copies and pasted, too? Thanks.

I spoke with AppleCare and they said this is not possible.

How do i get music vids and movies onto ipod?

I've downloaded some music videos and movie clips etc onto my itunes library, but i cant get it off the library onto the ipod.
How do i do this?
I have a 30GB video Ipod.
Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem... i have one downloaded tv show that transfers but three others that don't transfer from itunes to ipod. i can view them in itunes but they just don't transfer.
Furthermore, there are several *.mov files that I imported into itunes so that i could transfer them onto my ipod. Same problem... I can view them in itunes, but they don't transfer.
There is PLENTY of space on my ipod so I know that's not the problem.

"Drive not ready" message when copying files to iPod

I have had my iPod since 2004, and no problems, until recently. After updating most recent Updater, and restoring my iPod, I went to repopulate with my music files on a hard drive, and get this annoying "Drive not ready; door is open" message. It gives me opportunity to "cancel, retry, continue", but nothing works. Have restored several times now, and always the same thing. It will let me copy a certain amount of songs (about 500 or so) and then the message. I'm using a USB 2.0, and Apple dock connector, and have tried all ports available - so I know its not a connectivity issue. Is anyone else having this trouble after installing latest Updater? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

hi
I'm having exacly the same problem. I have removed and updated everything I can think of to try to resolve this, including removing anti virus software. I can update to about 420 songs, and bang, the ipod / itunes / computer freezes. It seems that finding another computer to check whether it's the ipod or my home computer is the next option. Life is too short for this. My old MD was way less problimatic

I bought 3 songs for my iPod shuffle and they wont sync onto my iPod. It keeps saying "could not copy "song" onto iPod. Can anyone help me?

Can anyone help????

Is the shuffle full?
Which model iPod shuffle do you have? This article about shuffle syncing shows the four types of shuffles
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
Which method do you use to load songs onto the shuffle? Do you do it manually, by dragging songs to the shuffle in iTunes? Or do you automatically sync the shuffle?

Getting music onto ipod from two different itunes libraries

I have 2 different computers with different music on each. I have downloaded itunes onto both. I have downloaded music from one computer onto ipod. When plugging ipod into second computer it says that I have to delete content of ipod to allow me to sync with the second itunes library.
Is there a way around this?
I have 'authorized' both computers to my itunes account.

Thanks very much!
My issue is that I have stupidly dropped my first laptop and broken the screen so it is unusable.
The music currently on my ipod is from this first laptop so I dont really want to wipe it in order to put music on from the second laptop (and hence now my only itunes store).
Is there a way to take the music currently on my ipod off somehow and store it somewhere, eg on my new computer, so that I dont lose it when I 'wipe it to sync with my new itunes store'?
Does that make sense?
Thanks for the help

Music not copied from PC after restore

I had to restore my 30 gb iPod with iTunes running on Vista. When the restore process finished successfully, I found that not all my music was copied to the iPod. There were no error messages. How do I get all the music on my PC into my iPod?

Have you tried it more than once? Have you checked how much space is left on your iPod? Have you et it to sync only checked songs and video an hve all your music checked so they can go on the iPod?

Sync your iPhone to iTunes to copy the iTunes purchases to the computer.
Or iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases then click the Cloud icon after the song names to download them.
