Half speed in iTunes

My wav-files plays only in half speed in iTunes. Plays ok in Windows Media player and other players. The wav-files originates from my LP's that I've sampled via my sound card. The same result on my other computer.

Unfortunately I don't, unless its ripped at a sample rate or quality setting iTunes can't understand, ie 48Khz instead of something like 44.1Khz that iTunes may be able to play properly.

ITunes is playing back at about half speed - PLEASE HELP

My iTunes started to play everything at about half speed today. It has not done that before so I am not really sure where the problem lies. It effects everything on iTunes; the mp3's, CD's and the iTunes store. Everything is played at about half speed. Anybody have any ideas?

Nobody can help???? Please -- this is a VERY BAD glitch/bug/whatever you want to call it...it is permanently deleting my music!

ITunes plays library at half speed after import

After converting a performance recording tape from analog to digital and storing it in AIFF format, I imported the AIFF file to iTunes (sample rate reported as 96kHz, bit rate 2304 kbps, 24-bit stereo). The first time I played it in iTunes it was fine...but everything else in the iTunes library played at half-speed. Now (after a re-start) the imported file plays at double speed, and the library items play at normal speed.
How can I controll this?
I see the bit rate is much higher that library items, but don't know what is "normal range" or how to control. (I'm doing A/D in Tracktion 3, 24-bit, 96k sampling, and have many options for exporting the file as AIFF.) Any help?

Tap the now playing screen to show the additional podcast and audio book controls. Tap the playback speed control until it shows white. Each tap cycles from 2X speed, 1/2X speed to 1X normal speed.

Half speed audio playback for Iphone

Are there any apps or programs that will allow me to either record or playback an audio memo or video at half speed? I'm a musician and need to hear myself played back at half speed to work out some kinks.
Thanks

You can do it for audio files in iTunes. Select the file in iTunes and use "Get Info" in the "File" menu. Select the "Options" tab, set "Media Kind" to "Audiobook", then click "OK". Sync to your iPhone and play it with the iPod app. At the upper right there should be "1X" in a white box. Press it to choose "2X' or "½X".

Supposedly the microphone's native recording is done at 16 bit 48000Hz. However, no matter how I try to specify my arecord command, the resulting recording appears to be "half speed". For example, the following command still results in a "half speed" wav file:
arecord -D plughw:0,0 -f S16_LE -r 48000 record.wav
Obviously, this isn't program specific. Skype, Audacity etc. also have the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Unfortunately I don't, unless its ripped at a sample rate or quality setting iTunes can't understand, ie 48Khz instead of something like 44.1Khz that iTunes may be able to play properly.

Any ideas on how to speed up iTunes downloads??

I've been attempting to purchase episodes of TV shows and have noticed that the download times are often quite a bit longer than the actual shows. A 44 minute TV episode recently took nearly 2 hours to download. The problem is not due to my ISP or modem because I've had no problems quickly downloading content from Amazon on the same PC, content via my Xbox 360 or large files from services like Dropbox. I was even able to download the 3.3 GB consumer preview of Windows 8 10 minutes faster than I could download a 1.29 GB TV show from iTunes. The ONLY place I encounter slow download speeds is iTunes which tells me the problem is on their end.
I attemped to contact Apple support but their utterly useless response was that I should fill out a feedback comment with a cheery note saying "Apple takes suggestions from customers very seriously". Yeah, right. Apparently they don't read their own support forums because it turns out this is an ongoing problem. Short of switching entirely to Amazon for my TV, movie and music needs does anyone have any ideas on what can be done to improve download speeds for iTunes? Call me crazy, but I think it would be kind of cool to be able to watch a TV show the same evening I purchase it. Are there any settings that can be adjusted either in iTunes or Windows?

Do you normally leave iTunes running in the background at all times? I do and I run into the same slow downloads from time to time. When I experience this, I simply close and relaunch iTunes, then the download speeds return to normal.
It is also possible that the slowness is the result of whomever is hosting the data having a slow or bogged down Internet connection. Not entirely certain that would apply to purchases from iTunes but it certaily can with podcasts.

I have just restored data from an external hard drive, but half of my iTunes songs are getting the error "original file cannot be located." Where are these files?

My Windows 7 PC just had to be reformatted, and I have retrieved all of my files from an external hard drive. About half of my iTunes library is working fine, the other half pop up the error statement "original file cannot be located." If they haven't come off my external drive, where are they?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Question for Dr. Smoke and others: speeding up iTunes

I've put up variations of this question in the iTunes section, now I thought I would see what I could find out if I posted this in a more general OS X Tiger forum...
to boil it down, my problem is that when I work in iTunes, the larger the library, the slower and more difficult it is.
is there any chance you could give some thought to the problem of speeding up iTunes? The way I see it, the program is marvelous, but it was designed more or less just for people transferring a few CDs to their hard drive and of course for buying music from the Apple Store.
It wasn't designed for what I'm doing with it, which is maintaining a mega-library of epic proportions - which is why working in it is so slow, even with a G5.
Is there anything you can think of that might speed it up - other than the obvious thing, which is to reduce the size of the library, which I actually do quite a lot!

that's what's so great about iTunes - and what ***** about it!
You CAN use it both to manage information about song-files, and you can also use it to play them! I couldn't do this in a database program, unless it were directly linked to a music-playing program. Even then, it couldn't creatively help with assembling playlists, both manually and automatically.
I wish Apple or some third party would develop iTunes pro or super-iTunes -
I wonder what the Library of Congress would do if it had to contend with having to put together an accessible, manipulatible digital archive of its holdings?
thanks for your input!

Why is playback in motion almost in half speed for me?

why is playback in motion almost in half speed for me?

It all depends on the amount and complexities of the layesrs and effects that you have and then on your system and graphics card. You have not mentioned any of that - I am sure an expert or 2 will reply if you give them some details to work on.
Have you tried to "render out" your project first before playing (CMD+R)? Then check your playback speed.

Half speed audio

Check your sample rate. Sounds like you've got something like an 88 or 96K audio file in a 44 or 48K project file.

Dramatic fall in the download speed from iTune

Hey all,
Recently,I have seen a dramatic fall in the download speed from iTunes.
I have a 100/4mb line, which runs absolutely fine for everything else.
Currently, I am downloading an App on 42mb, which currently says it will take 26 mins to download.
Up until a few weeks ago the same file took 15 seconds!!! This problem is with my 2009 27" iMac.
If I do the upgrade of the same application on my iPhone 5 connected to the same router and Wi-Fi the download takes 15 seconds !!!

At that distance from exchange your max sync should be around the 2K you started with it may well increase again if left on 24/7
SN margin is not bad but may be worth checking for noise problems 6 Db is the target figure
Sn margin quoted by most routers is the figure that the system thinks your line needs for stable operation so higher is not better
Have you tried a quite line test
dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing
best done with old type analogue phone digital will do but may have slight hiss
do not use home hub phone
If any post helps tick the star box on the left
Just cause Im paranoid dont mean they are not out to get me

Audio sounds like half-speed on Zen Touch, but not on the

I've got TONS of Opie and Anthony that I'm moving from my computer to my Zen Touch. Unfortunately, many of the files sound as if they're playing at half-speed, even though the timer at the bottom is running at the appropriate speed. This only happens when I'm playing them on my Zen Touch; when I listen to the files on my pc, the sound is just fine.
Running firmware .00.06. I've read that there have been issues with new firmware, so I've been wary to update to a newer version.
If anyone can help, you'll make a guy really happy...Message Edited by taunter on 06-20-2005 :34 PM

Taunter,
Here is a rundown of what MP3 bitrates you will want to have:
Mono: 24KBPS and higher
Stereo: 40KBPS and higher
If you try VBR, it may be difficult to figure out exactly where to place the slider, but I would suggest keeping it from the lower sections so that it doesn't drop into the Khz sampling range.
All WMA bitrates should work ok, since they do not sample lower than 22Khz.

All my audio Podcasts play at half speed in the new iOS 5 Music app. Where to find the speed change control that was there in iOS 4.x?

In iOS 4.x there was a button that changed from 1X to 2X to 1/2X and changed the play speed of the podcast. I can not find it in the new Music app in iOS5, but it seems to be set to 1/2X at the moment. How can I change this?

have the same problem, mine is now playing all at half speed, but only with podcasts! I normally play podcasts at 2x speed but the speed button has disappeared in iOS5, so - this is abviously a bug or the soft reads the old setting from somewhere - and there is no way resetting it - so I hope apple will fix this soon, I really play podcasts every day. and the iPhone is not loud enough and it's batteries aren't cool by design. so..
just to support your problem, maybe there's a free player somewhere until apple fixes that bug? (yes, it is a bug - read this problem in several other forums)
