IPod cuts of end of many songs

After adding all the artwork to the .mp3's, I erased all the tunes on my ipod and re-loaded the songs from itunes. Well now many, but not all, songs are cut anywhere from 1-10 seconds short and the ipod moves on to the next song. I suspect the 'gapless playback' has mis-interpreted the data and is moving on too quickly. But of course I can't be sure. Anyone have any suggestions.

They play correctly in itunes.
The mistake I made was converting the ripped wave files into mp3s. Somehow the way this conversion was done did something to alter the listed times for the songs. The whole song is there but the ipod cuts off at an earlier time.
If I could edit the files to change the listed time, I think I might be able to fool the ipod so that it plays the whole song.

I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
any suggestions on how to fix?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Ipod cuts off digitally converted analog songs

I converted a number of my vinyl albums to digital files so I could put them on my ipod. In the conversion process, something happened so that when I play the songs on my ipod, they cut off before the end. This is curious because when I fast forward through the songs on my ipod, all of the songs are there. I suspect that something in the conversion process messed up the listed times for the songs.
Does anyone know of a way I can fix this?
thanks

IPod Album Art Scrambled for Many Songs

For some odd reason, when I recently connected my iPod to iTunes -- I have the latest software versions for the iPod and iTunes -- I noticed that many of the songs are displaying album art for the wrong albums. For example, all the songs from one of my Aerosmith albums is displaying the artwork for one of my J.S. Bach albums. Not the same thing!
Has anyone run into a similar problem? Does anyone have a solution?
Regards,
Keith
P.S. For the record, the album art displays correctly in iTunes; it's wrong only on the iPod.

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

How many songs will my IPod nano 16gb hold

Just bought my husband a new IPod Nano 16gb. How many songs will it hold?

As the size of a song can vary widely depending on its length and bitrate, there is no single number.

Missing end of some songs

Haven't proved where the fault is yet but some of my songs that I transfered from CD to Itunes and then onto my Ipod have the end of the songs cut short.
Has anybody else experienced this and what can be done about it?
5th gen 30GB Windows XP Pro

I think it's solved; I had to reload all the songs on to the iPod and I have not experienced truncating of songs since then. Fingers crossed...

How many songs can a 2GB nano hold?

My daughter has an ipod mini that holds 1000 songs on it. Her mini and my sons ipod nano are on the same account so they share the same songs. My daughter has 265 songs total and was trying to update my sons nano. When she tryed it said that he didnt have enough room left on his ipod. When i ordered the nano i thought that a 2GB held up 2 500 songs. Am I wrong? If not, why wont 265 songs fit on my sons ipod?

A 2GB iPod nano will hold as many songs and other types of data as will take up 1.8GB. If the iPod is being used to store files or photos, or if the music on it is in AIFF or Apple Lossless format, the actual number of songs which will fit on the iPod may be greatly reduced. In the first case, delete any unnecessary data from the iPod, and in the second, use these instructions to convert the songs to MP3 or AAC format. AAC songs will give you better quality for the same amount of disk space.

All my song in my playlists are cutting off either in middle or at the end of each song. How do i fix this?

all my song in my playlists are cutting off either in middle or at the end of each song. How do i fix this?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Many songs on my iPad are cut off before completion, or are scrambled (bits of different tunes mixed in with other tunes).

I am running iTunes 11.0.3.42 on Windows 8, and am an iTunes match subscriber. I have approximately 2700 songs in my library - maybe 1/2 and 1/2 ripped from my CD collection and the rest purchase exclusively through iTunes. None of this music is pirated.
When playing this music back on my iPad, I am finding that many songs are cut off before they complete. When this happens, they continue to play, but it is just silence. Additionally, many other tunes are scrambled, with bits of other songs mixed together into one. When going back to iTunes on my PC, I will sometimes find that the songs play fine there - but sometimes they behave as they do on the iPad.
This happens whether or not I run my library with iTunes match on the iPad. I have redownloaded all my songs to try to repair this, with mixed results. It will often fix the songs that I was having trouble with - but then other songs will begin to show the same type of problems. I know that 2700 songs is not an immense library, but it is too large for me to systematically review the whole library - which makes tracking these problems very difficult.
I have seen similar types of complaints on the forums ranging over the last several years. It also seems that these problems have been "solved" by many different methods. Nothing I have found has worked for me - or only worked with the mixed results I mention above. I wonder if these individuals have actually been getting the mixed results I am finding.
This is truly frustrating, as I do not do anything exotic with my library, and have not pirated, but gotten my music honestly. I also have ripped my entire CD collection into iTunes, and have gotten rid of the CD's - as I have NEVER had similar problems to this in all the many years I have been using iTunes. Suddenly I find that I have a majorly corrupted library, with seemingly no way out. I cannot even abandon iTunes since I have such an investment in it. At a minimum of $.99 per song it would cost me almost $2700 to replace my library honestly, and that is at the low end of what I would pay. I don't know about you - but I don't have three grand to blow on replacing a music library I already paid for just to get away from a crappy product (sorry Apple - but what the heck else would you call this nonsense?). Makes a dude covet taking an eye-patch.
I am screwed and doubt there's a way out - but I have no choice but to ask for help. Anyone?

shameless bump

After I have matched my library to iCloud and have downloaded the new, supposedly better, files, many songs do not play completely through on my ipod. Why?

So, I signed up for Match because I wanted to upgrade my music files and replace broken, incomplete ones with clean, reliable ones from Apple. Out of 16,660 songs in my library, only 648 weren't matched, which is just under 4%. I consider that to be pretty good, especially since I have a lot of covers and less popular music. BUT, now after going through the Match 3 step process (which took a week the first time), deleting my original files and replacing them with the supposedly better files that were matched, I now have many songs that are not playing all the way through. Now, here's the weird thing: I deleted the offending songs from my iTunes, downloaded another copy of the file (which may or may not have been from the original source) and matched the newly downloaded files to Match. When comparing the newer, upgraded Match file to the supposedly identical older version, most, but not all of the time, the newer version is several seconds longer than the old one. This makes sense since the ones that play incomplete generally stop a few seconds before the end of the song. But, this process of deleting and replacing songs is a pain, especially with the need to go through the upload/download process. So, here's the thing: I thought that the matching meant Match was matching my songs to the same songs in the iTunes store inventory. So, how do I end up with different lengths???? Especially since these are the files in the Cloud, not the ones I downloaded.
Judging from the many blogs I've read, this song cut-off issue is prevalent and, it appears, Apple hasn't seen fit to address it. So, is there a fix, other than the process I go through?
Thanks!

Your milage may vary, but while downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...

I have moved all my songs onto a new external hard drive but it has wiped my iPod clean. Although when I connect my iPod it's starts teh process of sync'ing - so many songs in I get a pop up advising the siong could not be read or written to?

I have moved all my itunes onto a new external hard drive to free up space. It has wiped my ipod clean! I can still see the itunes on the new hard drive so I restored my iPod and tried to sync. Although when I connect my iPod it's in the process of syncing, so many songs in I get a pop up saying could not copy to my iPod as xyz song title could not be read or written. I click ok for this pop up to dissapear and then another pop up appears saying could not coyp to iPod because of unknown error.!!! Help I'm going crazy.

Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

How many songs can you put in an Ipod touch 64GB if you only use it for music?

I've heard the Ipod classic 160GB is discontinued. Could someone tell me how many songs you can put in the Ipod touch 64GB if you exclusively use it for music and don't put any photos, videos or anything?

I just did some quick figuring. There are a lot of variables. My 64gb 5th gen touch has only 56.6gb capacity so says the unit. Settings>General>About.
MP3 formatted songs vary greatly. I quickly perused my collection and found that the size varied from 3-7MB per song. Using the average of 4MB per song,(7MB is a rather large file for MP3) you will come up with 56.6 X 1024MB (1024 MB per 1GB) =57958MB/4 =14489 songs. This will probably never happen as there is cover artwork and different variables because of file size to consider. This gives you an Idea where to start.

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:
