Imported Songs Skip

I have backed up all my songs from iTunes on my laptop to a cd, and imported them to iTunes on another desktop PC. When I play them from the second PC, most songs skip or have major distortion. Sounds like the song files are corrupt, would burning the cd's at a slower speed fix this problem?

The best thing to do would be to use CD-ripping software capable of yielding secure/accurate rips, such as PlexTools Professional LE, EAC, foobar2000, etc. Then import the files to your iTunes library.

Imported song "skips" when using final cut express. please help!!!

hey everybody. i'm editing a music video in final cut express 4.0. i'm very new to this, so please forgive me for using incorrect terminology, or in most cases, no terminology. here we go...
i'm having this problem where the song i imported into fce keeps, for lack of a better word, skipping. the song is an mp3 file. the song plays all the way through, and it doesn't stop when it skips. but every so often, there will be this glitch, where you can hear the music screw up. when played in itunes or on a cd, this song plays fine, so it's not the mp3. what gives?
i thought it might be related to the audio from my video tracks. at first, i was just bringing the audio levels from the video all the way down. but then i decided to try erasing it to see if that would help. it didn't.
thank you so much for reading and taking the time to share your valuable knowledge! take care, everyone.

Imported song skips, plays fine from CD

I'm importing a whole CD. The CD plays fine in the computer and in the car. When I play the music from the computer, the last track skips. I've cleaned the CD and used a CD repair kit and I've run a laser lense cleaner on the computer. After re-importing the CD, the song still skips when played from the computer.
I have an iMac G5 with iSight, 1GB RAM, OS 10.4.7 and iTunes 6.0.5.
Any suggestions?

ripped the song using a different drive

Songs skip after importing them

I recently purchased an iMac. I used to have a PC but decided to change to a mac. As such I moved my iTunes library to an external hard drive. I have then connected this to my new iMac and loaded the songs into iTunes. Unfortunately some of the songs skip after seconds and go to the next track. I have tried playing the track in QuickTime and the song sounds distorted at the point it would skip in iTunes then starts playing again as normal. If there is a fix I would be very grateful to find out what it is as I fear that a lot of my library is now corrupt somehow. Also if there is an easy way to find which songs are corrupt without playing them all would be good.

We are experiencing the same problem. The CD you are importing is it a "live" CD or a "studio" recording CD. Ours is a live concert CD

Songs skip when I import a CD

Every time I import a cd and want to listen to it while it imports, it skips and sounds horrible.

Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468

Unable to import songs or play audio cds

I'm having issues with iTunes on my PC laptop. I used to be able to import cds with no problem. Now when I insert an audio cd, the disk shows up on my desktop, opens in iTunes, and finds the titles. When I select "import", it acts as if it is importing the songs REALLY fast. When I try to play one of these supposedly "imported" songs from the library it shows it's time signature as 789:57:13 and won't play (skips to next song, then the next until it comes to one imported before this problem began) or gives error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." It also no longer plays from an audio cd (skips through each song quickly without playing). Help!
If no one knows how to resolve this issue... is there an apple support phone number, a genius at a mac store or someone somewhere you could suggest who could help? (I'm well beyond the original 90-day support window.)

Songs skip on burned CD's

My first song alway plays clearly. The remaining songs skip constantly making them unlistenable

I have the same issue of iTunes-source songs skipping on CDs played in CD players rather than on DVD/CD players. I'm going to give this Discussions route a fair shot before I file a complaint with American Express so I can get my money back. (This and a couple of other threads establish that this is a common problem that has been brought to Apple's attention. I've also called Apple and e-mailed them, both to no avail.) Here's (1) a description of my problem and (2) the technical data I've seen requested from others:
(1) Problem Description: I have a CD/DVD burner on my Dell computer. I purchased $59.04 in tunes from iTunes and burned some of them to 2 CDs. When I try to play the CDs in some CD players, tracks 1 and 2 of both disks play OK, but beyond that, the songs begin skipping. By the time you hit track 5, the skipping is so bad that there is no playback at all. However, these 2 CDs will play perfectly on players that are also DVD players. The problem is with playback on mere CD players. Thus, neither will play back in car CD players, which is a problem since I purchased most of these songs for the purpose of making CDs and giving them as Christmas gifts. (Needless to say, the gifts were a bit of an embarrassment, a dud.) Following some suggestions on the Apple site, I updated my version of iTunes. I also tested my burner by burning a copy of a commercial CD that I bought from a music store down the street. To do this, I used some Windows software. I can play this "test CD" on any player, even in a car CD player. Thus, my burner is not restricting me to playing burned CDs only on DVD/CD players. The limitation seems to be coming from the iTunes software. Does anyone have any idea why I can't play the 2 iTunes-source CDs on a car (i.e., non-DVD) CD player? Are there some iTunes software settings in the burning process that I need to change?

My songs skip if I'm on the web and swiching pages or scrolling, any ideas?

I like to listen to Itunes (9.0) as I surf the internet, but as I scroll or open new pages the songs skip and sometimes won't stop skipping till I close that page. It doesn't matter what website I'm on or if I'm scrolling up,down, left or right. If I use page up or page down I don't have the problem, but then I still can't go left or right. I've tried restarting my computer and reopening Itunes, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Open XP's Task Manager. Go to the Processes tab. Highlight the iTunes.exe. Right-click it, and you'll see an option to set its "priority" as above normal. Do so. From then on in that session, whenever the computer is faced with a choice of playing the music without interruption or painting a web page quickly, it will choose to play the music without interruption.
Unfortunately, you'll have to do this Task Manager trick EVERY TIME. The operating system will not remember that you want iTunes to be considered more important than your other tasks.

Imported songs show up, but don't play in iTunes

i'm having the strangest problem since last night - whenever i import songs from my hard drive into iTunes, the song shows up and plays fine for the first 5 or 10 minutes it's on there, but then after that i'll click on the song and nothing happens! then if i delete the song out of iTunes, import it again from my hard drive, the exact same thing happens with every song. same when i reinstalled itunes. the rest of my library plays fine as it always has...i'm hoping someone can offer a simple solution to this?? thanks.

Imported Songs with high time numbers

I have a new cd drive. When importing cd's now, the "time" listed is around 789 minutes. When I click on one of these songs, it skips over them and goes to the first "normal" timed song. Help!

Imported songs from CD have incorrect time. 5 of 12 songs were incorrect. When I insert the CD, the display times are all shown correctly. After import, the listing in my library is incorrect. The time is way off for these five songs (e.g.5:48 vs 789:57:13). I've tried modifying the stop time under get info options tab, but the library time remains incorrect. I've tried importing the CD several times with the same result.

Songs skip when playing...

I have windows xp and a new HP laptop. I downloaded the latest itunes and imported songs from a itunes library and some cds. When I play from the library, the songs skip or "hiccup" occasionally which is very annoying! Any suggestions?

Same thing is happening to me. I work at home and listen to iTunes all day. My computer and iTunes have replaced my stereo and I have enjoyed great music using iTunes for the past two years until I upgraded to iTunes 7. I recently upgraded to 7.0.2.16 thinking it was a patch to fix the problem, have done all the suggested Quick Time settings changes and I'm still experiencing the skipping. It's not quite as bad as it was at first, however it's still there, skipping at the beginning at about every third song played. In fact while writing this, the jazz song currently playing started by skipping for a few seconds. Quite annoying! Apple - how can you fix??????

Songs skipping on itunes

I've just purchased an ASUS X553M and they didn't skip at first, and now every song skips.
I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, I've restarted my computer, I've checked I've got the latest updated version.
I've searched for this problem and gone to Task Manager, changed the priority to 'high'.
It happens to songs i've imported from CDs and bought from iTunes store so I really don't know what it could be.
Do i return the laptop or is it an iTunes fault and take the laptop to an Apple store even though it's not a Mac.

There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Hello, do you know that when you play a song skips or returns and does not play properly?

Songs skip after few seconds

Why do some song on my ipod skip after a few seconds?

For some unknown reason every once and a while a song will not "encode" properly when being converted into digital format (.mp3). This is the cause of the glitches that make the song skip past. This can be fixed by re-encoding the song at a different speed (The standard is 128kbps but can also be done at 160kbps and 192kbps in iTunes).
Now to re-encoding the glitched songs:
First off check the original encoding speed. This can be done by selecting the glitched song, right clicking and choosing the "Get Info" option and the bit-rate (encoding speed) will be in the summary tab. After you check the current encoding speed the settings for importing music into iTunes may need to be changed. You can change these by going into the "Edit > Preferences ~ Advanced tab > Importing tab" once here simply change the box labeled "Import Using" from "AAC Encoder" to "MP3 Encoder". Now all that needs to be done is to change the bit-rate. Choose one of the bit-rates from the "Setting" box that is different from the current bit-rate of the skipping song. Once the setting is chosen click "Ok" and then go to the "Advanced" menu and there should be an option to "Convert Selection to MP3". Now it is as simple as selecting the affected song and then going into the advanced menu and choosing the "Convert Selection to MP3" option to fix your glitched tunes! Every song that is converted using this will be encoded with the bit-rate chosen in the earlier stages.
Hopefully this helps, good luck re-encoding =)

Songs skip. Why?

And how do I stop this from happening. All too frequently in the middle of a song I get this kind of a rolling beep noise and the song skips to another song. I can't go back to the song I was listening to either. Is there any way to stop this from happening. It' extremely annoying.

Where did most of your music in your iTunes library originate? Purchased from the iTunes store, or imported into your iTunes library from a music CD or elsewhere?
If the latter, which did you use for the iTunes import settings - MP3 or AAC, etc.?
