Missing Feature: Play Song After Download?

I can't seem to find it (and it won't happen). iTunes 7 will not play a song after I download it. Any ideas?

In response to your question:
Go to your prefrence pane and select "Automatically play songs after download" and then close itunes and restart just to make sure it went through.

I get "computer is not authorized to play songs" after I have authorized it

I get "computer is not authorized to play songs" after I have authorized it many times and every time I try to play one I get the same authorization window. All of the songs were bought a while ago under my old aol email which I have now updated to a new yahoo one. I have repaired disk permissions, authorized over and over as well as reinstalled itunes 7. The songs remain locked and I am not able to even burn a cd. I cant seem to find out a way to unlock those songs to play...Help

My hunch is that you accidentally have two accounts and they both must be authorized on your computer. Fire up iTunes. Go to the Store menu and "Sign Out." Try to play one of the problem songs. A popup window with the account name will appear, asking you to authorize that account.

Song wont play even after purchase.

song wont play after purchase from itunes nor the album cover picture wont show need help!!

You might have a bad download. Contact the iTunes Store support and see if you can download the song again.

Can't Play Songs I Purchased

Hi guys,
A long time ago I purchased songs on iTunes with an old Apple ID. Then I bought a new computer, transferred the songs I purchased and I was able to play them (I don't know what I did because I already had my new apple ID at this time). I recently formatted my laptop, put my music back and when I try to listen to my songs I purchased a while ago, a window pops up asking me to identify myself. The problem is it shows my old Apple ID that does not exist anymore. I click "Forgot Password" then it takes me to the Apple website, says that this Apple ID expired and ask me to put the new one. I do, it works. But back into iTunes, I still can't play those songs cause it will ask me to authorize my computer to play them, again.
What can I do?
May thanks in advance!
Vinny.

ITunes won't play song I purchased. Say's Computer not Authorized

I just bought 9 songs in a row on iTunes using the same account. 8 of the songs play without problem, but whenever I try to play the 6th song I purchased, I get a message saying that my computer is not authorized to play the song and asks me to enter my Apple ID and password to authorize it. I've entered my Apple ID and password 10 times now. Every time I get a message saying that I've authorized 3 out of the 5 devices I'm allowed to authorize and then it proceeds to play the next song on the playlist, NOT the one I'm trying to play. When I try to play it, I get that same error message saying I need to authorize it - even though I just did so. Beyond being out the $1.29 and feeling a bit scammed, I'm pretty frustrated at this point. What gives? Anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it?

Delete the song and re-download it.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Playing songs after end of previous song when waiting some minutes

When I played a song and don't play straight away another song within a minute or 2, the player ópens at thebeginning of the next song I have selected, but don't start playing. It looks like that it is froozen. I have to close Itunes and start-up again to solve the problem. If I select songs direct after the previous song has ended, then there is no problem. Does anyone know a solution to this problem??
Many thanks for your assistance

Have you tried letting it sit for a while and see if it finally starts the next song after a LONNNGGGGG delay?
I recall someone else having a problem like this some time ago and the issue was anti-virus software. Apparently it was monitoring the iTunes folder. When the song ended, iTunes increments the play count one and updates the date and time of the last play. Well when it would go to update the database file in the iTunes folder the anti-virus software would kick in and slow the process down from being almost instant to taking a couple minutes. After a couple minute delay the next song would start.
So the solution ended being to tell the anti-virus software to EXCLUDE the iTunes folder from monitoring.

Can't play songs after importing

I bought a new computer and imported all my music files from a thumb drive. Now when I try to play songs in ITunes I get an error message saying the song can not be played because the original file cannot be located.

You don't need the thumb drive connected to do the test, all you want to know is where itunes thinks the music files are located.
The tracks should play if the thumb drive is plugged in and has the same drive letter as it had when you added the tracks.
Presumably M: the thumb drive?
Now to confirm what has happened, go to Preferences on the edit menu.
If you don 't see the iTunes menu, press CTRL B to get it.
Look on the advanced tab.
Is "copy to iTunes music folder when adding to library" checked?
If it is not, this confirms the problem.

GRRR - MuVo won't play songs after it's removed from USB P

:robotmad:Just bought a Nomad MuVo for a X-mas gift for my daughter, and I can't get the songs to play after I've removed the player from the USB Port. WMA songs seem to download to player OK, as I can play them from the MuVo through the jukebox software that was included with the MuVo. However, as soon as I take it out of the computer and turn it on, the light quickly goes from green to red as if there are no files there. Windows Explorer shows that they ARE. I always use the "safely remove hardware" function. I've tried to solve this by:
Reformatting the player</LI>
Removing the "settings.dat" file from the player</LI>
Downloading/installing latest firmware</LI>
Downloading/installing latest driver</LI>
None of the above has changed anything.
If it matters, the WMA files I'm trying to download were purchased from WalMart online.
<PLEASE HELP!

Jason - I could kiss you!!! The Windows Media software worked!!!!
Call yourself Santa because the only thing my daughter wanted for X-mas was an MP3 player and gift cards for music to download online. The MuVo was the 2nd player I bought -first one was an unnamed cool-looking (but so far entirely useless and supportless) one from EBay. I've been wasting endless hours since November trying to get one or the other to work with downloaded DRM-protected WMA files. I don't know what I would've done without you!!!
However, I'm irritated that the Creative website inferred that if I downloaded the latest software/firmware, it would allow me to use DRM songs with their software. I would think that a ton of people are going to have this issue, and the Creative info tells you that you have to use the enclosed software. This issue should really be prominently posted in the troubleshooting section.

Too Many disk I/O tasks (-10022) error playing song after edits

I have been fighting Logic 9 throwing the "Too Many disk I/O tasks (Elastic Audio) (-10022)" error when playing back a song with 12 tracks of audio AFTER I cut across 8 tracks (of drums) and move regions around. The Disk I/O indicator never shows more than 1-2 bars, tops when this error is thrown. While writing this up and troubleshooting, the problem has seemed to sort itself out, but only after doing some peculiar steps.
*System is MacPro 2x2.26 Quad-Core, 8GB RAM, Mackie Onyx 1620 recording to 500GB WD MyBook Pro over FW800. I/O Buffer = 128.
1) Grouped the 8 tracks of drums (there are 3 takes on each track). Play back song. No problems.
2) Cut the drums at bars 73, 81, 105 and 109.
3) Drag-copied the regions from bars 105-109 to 73-81.
4) Playback song, error thrown at bar 70
5) Increase buffer size to 256.
6) Playback song, error thrown at bar 70
7) Increase buffer size to 512.
8) Playback song, error thrown at bar 70
- Thought this might be a disk problem.
9) I copied the project with all the files to the internal Seagate and open the project.
10) Playback song, error thrown at bar 70
- Thinking this is not a disk problem.
11) Open the project on the original WD external drive.
12) Mute all regions an all drum tracks except the kick.
13) The song plays back normally.
14) Un-mute regions on 1 track and playback and repeat for each track.
15) The song plays back normally until the 8th drum track is un-muted, then the error is thrown.
16) Mute and un-mute the regions on 8th drum track.
17) The song now plays back normally. Error no longer thrown.
Looks like after making the edits, muting all the regions and un-muting them 1 by one might have cleared this up right away.
Is anyone else is experiencing something similar? If so, how are you working around this?

No, didn't solve it yet, after I'm done completing work to meet a deadline, I will do some experimenting and see what I can figure out. But so far I've had this phasing issue occur in two different sessions on two different rigs (both Mac Pro dual-quad core with lotsa RAM)...
One test that anyone could try... to really max it out... take one single source and record it onto 20 tracks at once... or I guess you could just record one track and then duplicate it 19 times, whatever. Group all these tracks, keep `em all at the same level. Then take a listen to all tracks at once using some good headphones.
Then put all the tracks in flex mode and do some flexing, flex every single quarter note this way and that way for three full measures or so, whatever. Then play it back again with headphones. If you hear ANY hint of phase shifting, then you are experiencing what I am experiencing.
For anyone who might not be familiar with the "phase shifting" sound I speak of, it pretty much will sound as if you are running your tracks through a classic "phase shifter" effect pedal or whatever. If using headphones, it'll seem like the audio starts swirling around in your head like some wacky stereo effect, frequency response will change and shift, etc.
I've noted that I have not always heard phase issues when flexing, it seem to be a bit inconsistent. It may be because I've been working in some very large sessions, maybe in my situations Logic was already being heavily taxed and then the extra flexing just put it over the edge. Don't know. Will do some testing perhaps next week.
But, I'd say everyone should be careful about this before bouncing forever to disk and then maybe deleting all your old raw audio, because if you permanently write in some wacky phase shifting between your group of drum tracks and have no original raw files left, you'll be in very big trouble... I don't think there would be any way to fix that. In a professional level mix, that type of issue would stick out like a sore thumb. I guess one fix would be to apply a phase shifter effect across the entire drum bus... on purpose... as some sort of artistic statement... hey, it might sound cool!
This whole issue has made me realize how incredibly important it is for DAW tracks to remain truly phase locked at all times. Been working with DAWs for years now and never really thought about it. In one regard, this is a lot to ask... to make sure your 30-odd tracks or whatever are always dead in time with each other, to the sample. It's certainly of critical importance, at least for multiple tracks of the same exact source (like when you have 12 mics on a drum kit etc).
Actually, perfect time synch is just as critical for even a mere TWO mics on a given source... any stereo recording. Once one track goes out of "synch" with the other, even by a minute amount, just for a short amount of time, you will HEAR it.,.. and it won't be good... unless you desire a wacky phase shifting effect.

I'm having the same problem. No one who knows how to fix this?

HT4527 Can't play songs after copying to new PC

I've followed the instructions to copy iTunes from an old PC to a new one, but still get the message on the new PC that iTunes cannot locate the songs when i try to play them. Can anyone help? Please?

Given that Photoshop is a copy-protected application, it's not terribly surprising it won't work after a copy like that. I'm guessing you may have to uninstall and reinstall (possibly using the Creative Suite removal tool), then reactivate. Successful activation may require your calling customer support.

ITunes won't let me play songs I purchased

Hello,
I am trying to play music in my iTunes that I had purchased via my AOL account, and iTunes will not let me play them. The screen comes up to sign in with my member ID and it will not let me access the song. Prior to today, I never had this problem as I got rid of AOL and now have a new Apple Id. Does anyone know why itunes is not letting me play prior songs that I purchased from another account?
Thank you

I'm having the same problem. I had an earthlink account ages ago, and made my first purchases with this account. Now I can't play any of the music I purchased with that old account - according to my last iPod update, that's 86 songs, and I really don't want to type in my new authorization info 86 times.
My earthlink account has been dead for years. This issue just showed up. I think it may be related to the iTunes 7.x upgrade.
Can someone please tell us how to tell iTunes to authorize all purchases made with an old account? Requiring us to re-authorize one song at a time is amateur. I expect more from Apple.
