How to import first song on burned cd if iTunes won't import it

Often I find that iTunes won't import the first track of a burned cd. It'll just keep cycling and eventually move to the next track. I use Exact Audio Copy to import the first song and then import it into iTunes. EAC has worked EVERY time and I have a lot of burns, of which maybe 1/4 have this problem.
You can get Exact Audio Copy here:

You will need the LAME encoder to create mp3s:

Just create a LAME folder somewhere and unzip contents to it, then point EAC to lame.exe

  • How do I export songs from my iPhone onto iTunes? (The songs are from a seperate computer than the one I am trying to import the songs to)

    How do I put songs from my iphone onto itunes?

    The only way to do this is to purchase 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.  iTunes will transfer purchased music from your phone to your iTunes library (by right-clicking on your phone in iTunes and selecting Transfer Purchases), but not music that wasn't purchased from iTunes.  If the other computer is at your home, on the same network and logged into the same Apple ID you can use Home Sharing to copy music from one iTunes library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

  • How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(7 and using VISTA).

    How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(i'm using iTunes7 and Vista).
    I don't have the disc, cause i can't find it. But my computer downloaded the ipod, it just cant find the files?
    i've been looking through the topics for the past hour and none of them helped. Maybe i'm stupid i dont really know, but i've restored my old computer a couple times and i found a post and it helped both times. now i can't find it anymore.
    THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEEING AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME ONE BIT:
    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
    Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

    Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
    Copy from iPod to PC
    It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
    You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

    If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
    However this is not allowed for other music.
    This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
    http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
    Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

  • ITunes won't import a song

    I had some songs stored in a folder in the My Music folder. When I added the folder to iTunes using the (rather obvious) "Add Folder to iTunes" command under the File menu it added all the songs in the folder except for one. I've tried over and over to get iTunes to import this song into my library but it won't work, and the last thing I'm going to do is use Windows Media Player to play one song because iTunes won't. The song is an MP3 file and its bit rate is 256KBps. I don't know if those last two bits will help but it can't hurt to include them.

    Is there any possibility that this song is copy-protected? Did you import it yourself from a CD or did you buy it from an online source? If DRM is on the song--you'll have to burn it to an audio CD and import it that way.

    Hi, Mrs.Frankie57. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?

    I have iTunes 12.0.1 on my Windows PC. I'm about to get a new iMac (hooray!) and I'm beginning the process of transferring everything on my PC to my Mac. I've got all the documents, pictures, files, etc. covered, but now I have to make a copy of all of my music.
    Most of the music in my iTunes library is not bought through the iTunes Store (I download most of my songs from the Internet). Then, after saving the downloaded song to my computer, I go into iTunes on my computer and add the song. I also add metadata like artist, album, genre, album artwork, etc. to the song in iTunes. What concerns me is that only the songs in iTunes have this metadata: the original downloaded files I saved onto my computer don't have any metadata.
    I really don't want to have to go through the long and tedious process of adding artist/album names, genre, etc. to every single song in my iTunes library on my new iMac. How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?
    Thank you so much for any help!

    Hello! I'd like to learn more about Home Sharing. To do this, would both my PC (which I hope to get rid of) and my new iMac need to be plugged in?
    Also, after Home Sharing with the old PC is initiated, I understand that all my songs would appear on my iMac. Is there a way to copy all of these (with album artwork, name, artist, etc.) directly to the iMac's hard drive and then disconnect home sharing so I can get rid of my PC?
    Thank you!

  • I update my IPhone4 to IOS6 from IOS4.3.3. My all songs are missing in the Iphone4. How to get those songs into my Iphone from ITunes. Even after sync also not coming to IPhone.

    I update my IPhone4 to IOS6 from IOS4.3.3. My all songs are missing in the Iphone4. How to get those songs into my Iphone from ITunes. Even after sync also not coming to IPhone.

    The iphone is not  storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How can you shuffle songs in a playlist in itunes 11?

    You used to be able to create a playlist, shuffle it, then synch it to your ipod.  This was done easily with a shuffle button in the library.  In 11 that button is no longer there.  How can you do this now?

    Your question is clear, but you then go on to say something completely different. I've answered your question "how can (you) shuffle songs in a Playlist in iTunes 11".
    In Playlists, click on the "start playing in shuffle mode" icon (that I've ringed). And...
    In this next shot (the space you need to watch), you can see the Shuffle icon (ringed in larey lime) is blue, so it's "on", and I've also clicked on the "show me what's coming up next" icon (ringed in red).  Study the list of upcoming songs. It's the Playlist we're in, but shuffled:
    Hey presto!
    Now - if you actually mean something else, such as: "create the Playlist, adjust the order of the songs and then Sync it to the iPod"; then as before, you can drag songs within a Playlist to whatever order you want and Sync the Playlist - as before. I've no idea what the "button" you refer to, looked like. Can you explain?

  • ITunes doesn't import first song off CD

    I'm using v.7.0.1 of iTunes, and I've recently noticed that when I import a CD (either commercial or burned) it skips importing the first song. It acts like it does, complete with green mark, but when I go to my library I have only songs 2-whatever. I think this must be a problem with this new version, I don't remember it ever happening before. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, I'd appreciate it.

    If it's a dustbunny it could be blowing back and forth.  If it's electronic it can flicker on and off as it goes.  I have a LED on my radio downstairs that has been flickering for the past 3 months.  Sometimes it will stay lit for an hour, then suddenly starts going on and off.
    Error correction is good but can take forever because iTunes then tries to read several times, not necessarily with success.
    One thing that's almost for certain, you aren't going to find some button to click in iTunes that will suddenly clear things up for you.  Generally iTunes or computer settings issues are either there all the time or not at all.
    Is this related to the kind of CD?  Burned CDs are harder to read and get worse with time unless you paid top dollar for archival quality.

  • How do I import one song from a cd into Itunes 12.01?

    Hello, I updated my laptop to Itunes 12.01: software is IOS X 10.9.5. I have inserted a cd and opened itunes. first surprise I found was that I can only see the cd, with its songs, it will not let me see playlists at the same time. and the only option that seems to be available was to import all the Cd but I only want to impor one or two songs from it. how do I do it? I tried highlighting but it will go back to the first song to star importing. also tried to play the song but still will go back to the first to import.

    Remove the checkmarks for the songs you do not want.
    To prevent songs from importing, click "no" after you insert the CD.
    When the list of songs appears in the iTunes window, click to remove the checkmark next to any songs you don’t want to import.
    To add the selected songs to your library, click Import CD near the top right of the iTunes window.

  • How do I reorder songs in a playlist in iTunes 12? I can't just click and drag.

    I am working on a playlist in iTunes 12, I need the songs to be burned to a CD in a specific order.
    I cannot figure out how to manually re-order my songs in this playlist.
    I know how to order the songs by artist, album, genre etc but I need to be able to do it manually however I want the songs to play.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Vera,
    Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
    Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.
