IPhone music is distorted

Hello..
I've been an iPhone owner for about two weeks now and I am on my second iPhone. The first one had an issue where the back light would not stop flickering.
My current iPhone has a problem where if I change the equalizer settings to anything other than off or flat the sounds is distorted, especially on anything with bass. I am using the headphones that came w/ it and the problem seems to occur on various songs from various artists. I've tried changing the sound check setting in both iTunes and on the phone and various other things but to no avail. Does anyone else have this? do I have another defective phone?
This is my first apple product ever and so far I'm off to a shaky start to I'm hoping someone can give me some answers. I never noticed this issue w/ my last phone which was running 1.0.2, could this be a result of the increased volume Apple added in 1.1.1?
Thanks,
R

I am posting this just to answer the question that I originally asked so future readers can find a solution:
If you are seeing the problem described above in my original post then it is likely caused by the sound level of the MP3 being set too high. This is a bit level setting that each MP3 has and can be easily adjusted down to 'normal' limits w/o altering the quality of the mp3 (no need to re-encode).
Use a tool called MP3Gain (http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net) and re-level your music to an acceptable level (~90db). The tool will use 89db as 'Normal' which is perfectly acceptable, I used 92db. I found that songs that distorted in iTunes and/or the iPhone had a volume level of 97~102db which is simply too high. Lowering the db level to normal ranges (89~92db) will resolve the distortion and allow you to use ANY EQ SETTING - even bass booster! (sweet!).
Do some searches and reading about MP3Gain on iLounge.com as it is heavily discussed in that forum (where I discovered the solution). Also understand the differences between "track gain" and "album gain" within the tool - I used Album Gain for my entire collection.
Also, check settings in whatever you are using to rip your music and see if the tool has a "gain control" or "volume or level adjustment" for ripped songs as you may want to adjust this down a tad if the problem persists. The tool I use (CDex) automatically sets ripped music at ~90db so it works well.

Music is distorted

Hello,
I was trying to update my music library yesterday after the uploads I made I wanted to listen the songs on my device (Iphone 4S) but the sound of music was distorted, I was hearing small overlaps.
I've tryed to Restart, it didn't worked, then I got into the forums and tryed all I've found (Reset = lock+home, restore network settings, restore settings) but none of these workd, so here I am asking for your help.
The problem is only in Music, no other player (youtube, soundcloud) was having this issue.
I am afraid to restore (delete) all the settings and content because I do have important notes and contacts.
Thanks a lot for your time,
Adrian

Yeah sorry. by restarted I ment restored, and also
now that Ive been messing with it more I have noticed
is I have my headphones in listening it sounds fine
until I tip it one way or another instead of leaving
it on a flat surface.
That seems like a problem with connections of the earphone jack inside the iPod.

I have "Explicit" songs tags in iTunes, but they (the tags, not the songs) are not showing up on my iPhone Music.

Hi,
I recently found a way to add the "EXPLICIT" tag to songs in my iTunes Library (using Subler), and just presumed that the tags were not showing up in my iPhone Music because the phone simply did not have the function to display them.
However, in iOS 7, and seeing every song I have ever purchased, I noticed that the iPhone can indeed show whether songs are explicit or not (by marking them with a letter 'E').
Therefore I am just wondering why I can see whether songs are explicit on my Mac, yet not on my iPhone. I have tried removing the songs from my iTunes Library, syncing to remove them from my phone, re-adding them to my Library, and then re-syncing to put them back onto my phone, and the explicit tag still does not show up.
Please can you help me resolve this.
Thanks
iphone 5s - ios 7

If you buy them as a Ringtone, then Itunes should automatically put them in Tones. It is a huge hassle and takes time most of us don't have to waste, when we purchased them as Tones and Apple told me they would automatically show up in Tones if purchased from Itunes Store. NOT! And we shouldn't have to google to find the answer. They should make that clear on Itunes store. Very disappoiinted in the Itunes upgrades that have caused so many problems.

I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases

How can i transfer my iphone music to a new computer?

I have a new work computer and I want to put my iPhone music in my iTunes on that machine, but it won't let me. Why???

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

Error in the iphone music app iOS7 with dozens of empty genius playlists

Im getting an error in the iphone music app in iOS7 with dozens of empty genius playlists even tho genius is OFF in my account settings and genius playlists are not selected for syncing with my iphone 5. All apps, iTunes and iOS 7 are updated.
The option to turn off genius under STORE menu is no longer available in the latest version of iTunes 11.1.
Thanks.

Love your comment:
"Oddly the option to Delete is, get this, under Save:"
LOL!!!!!!!!!
This is just nuts!
Whoever heard of hitting SAVE to DELETE something....Ha Ha Ha!!!
The lunitics are officially running the asylum.....who knows whet they will do next.
Design cars where you need to engage reverse to access drive.
Many thanks this worked for me and I would NEVER have found it without you.
I would NEVER have hit Save to Delete something...And I mean NEVER!
Maybe if I hit Cancel button below this text box, it will save the contents for me..... Unbelievable!!!

How do i transfer all my iphone music to a new itunes library on a new pc so i can then share it with other devices

how do i transfer all my iphone music to a new itunes library on a new pc so i can then share it with other devices

Copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods discussed here: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer. If you no longer have the old computer and you have to transfer it from your phone, you will have to purchase and use third-party software to extract the music from your phone, such as Touch Copy or CopyTrans.

I have my new music which i downloaded in my itunes library but when i go to move it to my iphone music folder it wont move and a red circle appears?

i have my new music which i downloaded in my itunes library but when i go to move it to my iphone music folder it wont move and a red circle appears? i have tried all different copy and paste but it still doesnt work

Drag and drop only works if "Manually manage music" is selected on the summary tab in iTunes.
Instead, use the Music tab and playlists to manage what content is on the device as described in the User's Guide.

How to delete iphone music library

Hi there.
I have had itunes match since it was released, but have it currently turned off so I can clean up my library a bit.
I have IOS 6.1 on an iphone 5 connected to itunes 11.0.1
I wish to delete all of my iphone music library. That is: I wish to remove all songs off my iphone but keep all songs on my macbook pro itunes library
I have my settings to manage songs manually and up until today I could delete the whole iphone library when I wanted (select all>delete)
I can check the songs, none are greyed out. I can right click and delete/highlight and hit the delete key or highlight and edit>delete. However it doesn't go any further.
The songs stay where they are on my iphone, on the iphone library in itunes and there is no prompt question, asking if i wish to keep the file or throw it to trash etc.
I have searched but seem to only find answers here about deleting songs one by one on my iphone. i have 7000 songs i want deleted on here!
I am hoping someone an help.
Thankyou
side note: I am finding turning off itunes match on my iphone settings annoying. I can switch itunes match "off" but when I leave settings and go back in, match has turned itself back on....URGGHH

Yep I understand it is in the cloud, I used to be able to take the music off there though.
I have just tried another method, Settings>Music>Show All Music
and this seems to have helped. It has gone from 7000 songs to 2!
I still don't want them in my itunes iphone library when I connect my phone....Any help removing the songs so they aren't on the iphone library in itunes would be a massive help
Thanks for your help so far!

Listening to iPhone music thru iTunes

I usually use my iPod and do this but I am wondering why I can't do this with my iPhone. My main library is at home and I sync both my iPhone and iPod with that library. When I come into work I plug in both my iPhone and iPod. My music show up thru iTunes with my iPod just fine and I can play anything on my iPod. When I plug in my iPhone my music showes up all grey and I can't play anything thru itunes that is on it. This is really stupid if you ask me if they locked out this feature. I want to be able to play my iphone music thru iTunes. Is this possable?

They are all like that. Your iPhone is behaving normally.
Is your coworkers iPod Touch syncing music with his work computer? If so, the music will not be greyed out and will work as you are seeing. The iPhone and Touch will have the songs playable only with the library with which they sync.

How to delete unwanted music on my iphone music ap

How do I get rid of unwanted music on my Iphone music ap through Itunes. I didn't order it, its black and white, and caused me driving problems trying to get my music, that I paid for, back up. I want it delete this stuff and prevent it from coming back. Also I would like to be able to get through to an Apple tech without being hungup on 5 times after finally going thorough the menu's and reaching someone across the country. At least its someone IN the country so thanks for that too.

With your phone connected, iTunes running, on the Info pane, scroll down, under Advanced, replace data on this phone with data on this computer, put a check in the box for contacts, hit apply/sync.
