How to fix corrupted/partial songs in iTunes match?

Recently I dowloaded 5 new albums from soundcloud and added them to my iTunes library. Since I subscribe to iTunes match my mac started to upload the 'unmatched' files to the 'cloud' for access across my many devices. Once available I decided to play my newly acquired music. To my surprise every recently uploaded song only plays about 3/4 of the way and then skips to the next song.
I have done some preliminary research and I am at my wits' end. I have done the following per the suggestion of Apple and the many blogs out there.
-Delete all songs from my iOS devices and try to play the song again. - No Success
-Import the files into another library to verify the original are good. Everything sounds perfect.
-Delete the files from both my library and iCloud. Update iTunes match. Add the problem songs back into the library. Finally update iTunes match. - No Success
So.........how can i fix this?

There's a couple of way to do this.
Pull down View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This will effectively hide everything in the cloud and when you want to download more you'll have to show it again.
The other way is to use a Smart Playlist.
1. Pull down File > New > Smart Playlist.
2. Make the criteria something like Media Kind IS Music, Location IS on this computer. Click OK.
This will gather up all the tracks that are physically on the computer and you can play them from the playlist.

  • How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? (More info inside)

    How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? When I mark them, and delete them (and yes, I mark the box where it says delete from the cloud as well), they just reappear once I sync with itunes match again. (the symbol available for download appears). Is there a way to completely remove the tracks?
    (And no, I don't just want to hide them (in the menu), since the tracks will appear in my iPhone anyways).

    Hey imol92,
    You may have already looked at this; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
    It is all the public information on removing songs that you have uploaded to the iTunes Cloud.

  • How can I rematch a song?  iTunes Match keeps matches my music to clean versions.

    I've noticed that within albums that I've bought on Amazon and imported into iTunes Match, the service will match single tracks or entire albums to the clean version.
    Is there a way to remove a song from iTunes Match, then re-match it or tag it so it can re-match it to the explicit version?

    I would send a list of specific tracks that have had the problem.

  • How to fix grayed out songs in Itunes that are supposed to be matched with Itunes Match!

    I have deleted a few songs that have the cloud symbol in Itunes Match; however, they are now grayed out and I can't play them from the cloud or download them.  Can anyone offer any ideas?  I was doing this to test whether it is matching correctly and now the songs are listed with the cloud symbol and down arrow in Itunes; however, they are unable to be played (they are just gray).  Please help!

    iTunes has a feature that drops leading articles (a/an/the and regional equivalents) for sorting purposes. This enables "The Beatles" to be sorted under B instead of T, a converntion that most people are used to. The greyed out text shows this current autosort value. If you delete the text it will be regenerated. If you try to put in something like a space you will interfere with the proper action of the sort. However you can put "The Beatles" in if you really want them sorted under T. It is important to use sorting values consistently and not not try to give different things the same sort value as this causes problems. You can hide the column if you have no need to review the information in it.

  • How can download all the songs from itunes match to an ipad 2?

    I activate itunes match in my Imac, the process of scan and identify the library songs is finished successfully, after that i activate the itunes match in my ipad,  I need download all the songs in the ipad, I select Music Icon and don't appear the (download all) button in the section of songs,  i have to push the cloud button in each song to download?
    I enter in the section of albums and playlist and in this section the button download all appears. How can i download all the songs to the device?

    I just found the answer by myself.  Instead of clicking Cloud icon one by one, highlight all the songs in Cloud (after sorting by Cloud status) and riight click, download.  Now I am getting all the songs back to my local machine.  I will sync my iOS devices tomorrow and just GET RID OF iTUNES MATCH.  To me, it was a disaster.  Worse than their map app.

  • How can i delete unwanted songs from iTunes match?

    With a limit on how many songs that can be uploded to iTunes match, how can i remove songs that i didn't want uploaded to the Cloud?

    Right click on the song on the computer your music is on and delete the song and make sure you check the box that says delete from iCloud.
    If you want to delete the song from iCloud you also have to delete the song from the library that you are syncing from.

    Are you saying your iTunes doesn not have your songs?  If not, where would they be?  If on an older iphone, then they should have gotten there via itunes and itunes has them.

  • How do I sync the lyrics of my songs with iTunes match?

    I added on itunes lyrics but can not find them on my iphone how can I proceed?  I've updated itunes match on your computer and iphone is turned on in the music lyrics and podcast info. Google translate.

    According to my knowledge, iDevices with iTunes Match does not import the lyrics for some reason. You can only see them if you import your songs without iTunes Match. I recommend Apple to fix it.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

    I want to delete songs from iTunes Match by unchecking them in my iTunes library on my Mac. Is this possible? If so, how do I change the necessary setting(s) in iTunes or iTunes Match?

    I have seen this page, but it seems that this involves deleting songs from my iTunes library in order to remove them from iTunes Match. I want to keep them in my iTunes library, but not in iTunes match (I am over my limit for songs in iTunes Match, and would like to decide which songs to keep in iTunes Match).
