Hi bholdrofjustice,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to delete the song that doesn't play, and download it again using the steps in this article:

If the song still skips after 8 seconds, you can report an issue with your purchase:

HT1725 i downloaded an album and one song only plays for 3 seconds and then skips to the next song. I can't get it to re-download either. What am I supposed to?

This is the second time that I've downloaded an album and one song off of it will play for 3 seconds and then skip to the next song. I've tried everything under the iTunes help and nothing has worked. Any ideas?

Why can't you delete it and redownload it?
If still problem contact iTunes
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us

How do I get a song to download properly? Downlaoded an album but one song only plays first 2 seconds.

Can only listen to the first 2 seconds of a song, checked for downloads incomplete and get all songs downloaded message, also have latest iTunes version. Tried restarting my PC but did not help. How do I get all of the song re-downloaded properly?

Hi Rusty Bucket Head,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your song is incomplete when you try to play it, you can delete it and try redownloading it as described here:

i bought an album and two songs wont play right. how can i fix this

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I purchased a new album and downloaded. When I play the first song only plays for 15 seconds then skips to the next song. Rest of album is fine.How do I correct this?

After purchasing a new album I found that 1st song only plays for 15 seconds then skips to next song. The rest of album is fine. How do I correct this?

Try Deleting it from your device, then download again from purchase history.
Hope this helps

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase

My songs only play for 6 seconds

My imported music is only playing for six seconds then going to the next track. All of my purchased music works fine though. The imported files also play in their entirety on Windows Media Player so I know it's not the files' fault. Any suggestions?

Sure your gone for the day, but no luck. Still get 15 sec and then on to the next song.

Songs only play for 30 seconds

My CD Imports are only playing for 35 seconds before jumping to the next song. How do I turn Off the preview function?

I recently bought an album and one of the songs only plays for 3 seconds. Anything I can do without rebuying the song again?

I bought an album recently and one of the songs that got downloaded doesnt play all the way, it only plays the first 3 seconds. But I havent fully downloaded the album on my itunes, does that have something to do with it? Anyway I can fix that without paying the song over.

Sounds like a corrupt / damaged download
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

I downloaded an album and some songs only play half way then the next song starts. Any thoughts? Thanks

I downloaded an Album from Itunes Store onto a Windows PC. Some of the songs play fine while others play about half the song and then skip to the next song. But, when I play the same songs from iCloud on my iPhone 4s, they play the whole song. So, why can't itunes play the song in full?

This happened to me. What you need to do is move the song and any backups to the recycle bin. Then go to Itunes store and click 'Purchased' under Quick Links. Go to the song you want and there will be a cloud next to it. Click it and it will redownload. It should download the full song this time.
This happened to me yesterday when I bought a Volbeat album and again today when my brother bought a Rise Against album. I hope Apple fixes this. I just read about a question like this from back in 2007, so it's been going on for a while.

Song only plays for 5 Seconds

Downloaded a song from album but only plays 5 seconds of song, How do i fix this

I have had this problem for quite awhile. Sometimes the preview plays all the way through, or not. I had it in the previous version and now the new version. There is no help from Apple/iTunes. It seems odd that WE must continue to try and find the solution to THEIR errors without any comments or help from Apple.

Songs only play for 10 seconds. What do I do?

I bought some music on my phone. I hooked my phone to my computer and the new songs started downloading into my library on my computer. A message popped up saying there was a problem downloading some of the songs. There was an exclamation point inside a circle next to those songs. At the time there was a cloud with a down arrow next to those songs so I clicked them to re-download the songs. They finished downloading and I synced my phone to my computer. I tried to play those songs, and they play for about 10 seconds or less and then stop. There aren't any cloud symbols next to the songs on my computer or my phone even though I have it checked to show purchases in the cloud. What do I do to fix my songs? They were playing fine before I downloaded them onto my computer. I'm running iTunes 11.1.4.

Hey rjfdlf,
That definitely sounds frustrating. If the songs are not playing fully, they may need to be redownloaded. To redownload them, you'll want to delete them from your library. See the following article:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
Thanks,
Matt M.

TS1362 downloaded two albums songs only play for 45 seconds and moves to the next one. happened to two albums downloaded on the same day need help

downloaded two albums on the same day will play only 45 seconds of a song and goes to the next song on both albums need help

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
