I bought an album but 3 of the songs stop playing half way through, it's just silence. Can I get a refund and if so, how?

Recently, I bought the Adam Barnes album and I put it on my iPod. When I started listening to it and it was great. But when it got to track 4, it played the first minute and then it was just silence for the rest of the 3 and a half minutes song. It did this again for tracks 5 and 6 too, but the other tracks are fine. I checked my iTunes and it doesn't work on there too. Has this happened to anyone else? Can I get a refund? If so, how can I get one?

  • Why do songs stop playing half way through?

    My husband downloaded a new playlist to his iphone, but many of the songs end half way through and then go on to the next song.  How can we fix this?

    Hi ktrib76,
    In my experience, the songs that are skipping may not have transferred over to your husband's iPhone correctly. I would advise you to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to the iPhone).
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from the iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

  • IT tunes music - some, a lot, of somgs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried downloading / updating but no joy?

    IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

    Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
    But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.

  • Songs only play half way through and move on to next one

    I have been using iTunes (10.5) on my Macbook Pro, OS 10.6.8 with no problems until this morning.  When I turned on iTunes, I got a message stating that this computer was not authorized to play the song I chose. I received the same error message for all the other songs. And these were all songs that I had uploaded from my own CD collection a long time ago. So, I authorized the computer as requested by iTunes, although I thought I had done that before. Now none of the songs finish playing. The songs quit about half way through and then the next song starts. It is *extremely* annoying. Should I reinstall one of the older iTunes versions? Anyone else have this problem? I found old posts from 5-6 yeas ago but no solutions.

  • HT203167 just downloaded a music album and most of the songs cut off half way through i redownloaded the album and have the same problem

    just purchased an album and most of the songs cut off half way through

    Try again. Delete the copies of the corrupt tracks 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. In the downloads window remove the tick (if present) from Allow simultaneous downloads.
    If the problem persists contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Songs begin playing half way through

    whenever i select a song to play it starts somewhere in the middle instead of at the beginning, how can this be fixed?

    Hi, you probably have the song set to "Remember Playback Position" option
    To fix, go into itunes, select the song(s) you are having trouble with, then under "File" menu, choose "get info" a window will pop up with various options. Go to OPTIONS tab and uncheck the box next to "remember playback position"
    Hope that helps!

  • I downloaded some songs, and it says they downloaded, but the song cuts off half way through. What do i do?

    I downloaded and album late last night. It said they were all downloaded and about 8 of the songs cut off mid song and jump to the next song. What do I do to fix that?

    All you need to do is go to the iTunes store, and then go to purchased in the right side of iTunes store.  It is under the quick links.  Then you will be able to download the past purchases there.

  • Why do some of the songs only play half way, then skip to the next song?

    I just got the ipod shuffle and am enjoying it very much, except that a few songs won't play all the way through. I tried them on my computer and they WILL play there, BUT I notice they have a kind of crackle, like the download got interupted. Is that making them "Skip" like a scratched record? And what do I do about it?
    thanks,
    pauline

    If those are purchased tracks (from ITS) then this is an old problem, and a continuing one.
    The two most common fixes are either to work through ITS Support and get different copies of those tracks (they will never work correctly on the Shuffle as they are, and might actually get worse with time), or go through a process of burning those tracks off to a CD and then reimporting them back into iTunes.
    Both of these have been discussed at length in these and other forums. Search for those threads and see what you want to try.

  • HT204406 song stops playing part way through

    I downloaded a song and it appears to be complete, but about 15 seconds into playing, the song quits. I tried playing the song on both my ipod and computer.  Same results both devices.

    Hi jhelene,
    It sounds to me like you have downloaded a song from iTunes but when you try to listen to that song it just stops playing. I suggest you delete that song from iTunes and re-download it fresh. The following article explains the issue it sounds like you are experiencing.

  • Purchased songs only playing half way through

    I purchased 2 albums today and a few songs on each only play half through then skip to the next. I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.

    I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.
    Try deleting and redownloading just the problematic tracks (rather than the entire album(s)). Any better luck with that?

  • Why does my itunes downloaded song cut off half way through the song

    I downloaded a Jorney song "Seperate Ways" only to find out that the song cuts off half way through. What should i do?

    I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
    I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
    Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.
