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

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.

reformatted ipod, resynced, same problem.
help!

I have also had the same problem...
The songs appear to be random, and when I plug my iPod into the computer it is fixed. Sure enough, a monthish later, it happens again.
When my songs get cut off, they are stopped exactly half-way through. Apparently, the iPod thinks that is how long they are, because it plays the time that it shows (the total time only goes to helf of what it normally is).
This does not seem to be a matter of old software, as I am always up-to-date on iPod software, and this has been happening to me with version 1.4.1
I have not Restored my iPod, but apparently that will not help (according to the other posts).
I hope somebody can answer this (although I've posted it twice before with no luck, so...)

My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs; what's up with this?

My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs...just silence. The play indicator shows that there's more data there but it's just blank. The songs play fine on iTunes and the data on my PC (Windows 7, iTunes 11.02.26). And it's not always the same song... It's like random. So it's got to be a bug in the iPod Classic firmware. Any help from Apple? Get a Zune?

Is it always the same songs that get cut off? So the question is, after you do a Restore, when you re-sync songs back to the iPod, is it always the same songs that get cut off? Or are they different songs each time? Try doing a Restore and re-sync several times...
If they are the same songs, that points to a problem with the song files. Maybe there is data corruption on your computer's hard drive, that caused the song files to become corrupted in a way that iTunes on the computer can still handle, but the iPod's software cannot. The corrupted songs stay the same.
If they are different songs, that points to a problem on the iPod. If a Restore does not fix the problem, then it may be data corruption caused by the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable. When you do a re-sync after Restore, the data is not being stored properly on the iPod due to a hardware problem. It randomly affects different songs each time during the re-sync

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.

Hi Chris,
I have never used font management software/plugins, I use font book to validate my fonts. I have used imagenomic's noiseware for 32bit in the past but it is disabled as I am running in 64 bit. I do not use a lot of plugins etc. I did install the optional extention plugins from adobe when trying to solve the issues I have been having.
I finally installed a firewire 800 harddrive to use as a scratch disk, I realize this is not ideal, but I am limited with my iMac. I used it last night for around 7 hours and everything seemed to be working much better, my efficiency never dropped below 90% and I was able to flip my canval horizontal for the first time in months without receieving an error. I am hoping this is a longterm solution, howver I do not know why moving my scratch disk would affect my memory usage/efficiency.
Thanks!

You are gonig to have to take it to an apple store or a specialist as it might be a harware problem.

Ipod cuts off a song?

alright, it's been a while.
I've got one song a friend of mine made, and gave to me (we do music gigs together), but the track cuts off at about 24 seconds, and goes to the next song. Funny thing is, it plays fine through on my iTunes, but just that one track cuts off on my ipod.
Thing is, I have over 10 songs that we've done together and the other ones play fine. Still, is this an issue with encoding? I've tried reseting the ipawd and whatnot. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi. This is a known issue. The iPod Classic seems to fail to play the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed earlier iPod's, has been happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored but causes the iPod to bail out. The workaround is to get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if & when the bug is resolved you can put your original file back onto the iPod.

IPod cutting off songs/iTunes not recognizing iPod correctly

Hi,
I have a second generation nano using a PC with Vista operating system, and using the latest iTunes software (7.6.1.9). I have been noticing that more and more of my songs on the iPod have been cutting off, either a few seconds into the song, near the end, etc, but are just fine when played through iTunes from my hard drive. At first it was just a couple of songs, but then more and more started to cut off. Then, the iTunes started telling me that it wasn't able to read my iPod correctly and that I should restore it to original settings. I did that a few times and kept reloading the songs, but the problem still occurs seems to be getting worse. Tonight when I plugged the iPod in, iTunes said that it "detected an iPod but couldn't identify it. Unplug it and plug back in." I did, and it read it, but that particular problem also seems to be getting worse and I'm afraid soon it won't be able to detect the iPod at all (and this latest message was after I updated with the iTunes latest version). It seems like the actual iPod software is corrupted, and that its software needs to be re-installed, not the iTunes. Am I wrong in that assessment? How would I go about doing that? I can't seem to find any clear instructions and I don't see many people reporting this problem.
Thanks,
Robyn

Song on iPod cutting off after a few seconds

A particular song on my iPod keeps cutting off after just a few seconds. When I play the song in iTunes it plays just fine. I've tried deleting the song from my iPod and reloading it, but it still does the same thing. I have several hundred songs on my iPod and this is the only one I've had any trouble with ... please help!

Have you updated iTunes and iPod Updater??

IPod Cutting off songs

There are a handful of songs that cut off part way through when playing on my IPod. They cut off in the same spot every time, but they play fine on my computer. I have tried restoring & reloading the IPod, and it just starts happening with different songs after.
Any ideas?

Ipod cuts off while playing

Suddenly, my ipod within my iPhone cuts off while playing in the shuffle mode. Most times this occurs while I have it in my pocket and am moving, but I have no idea whether this matters or not. It will either cut off completely or skip to the next song after cutting off in the middle of the previous song. Is there something that I can do to fix this?

I have the same issue. The phone works fine if I am sitting around, no problems listening to hours of music. I ride my bike and have the phone in my jersey pocket and after about 15-30min it starts going into an auto pause mode to the point I can no longer listen. This is very annoying and I think it must have something to do with the motion sensing causing the pauses.

Itunes and Ipod cut off music

Most of the tracks I have downloaded cut off part way through. This has also started happening to songs I have uploaded from CD. I have reinstalled itunes as directed yet its still happening. Any advice?

Not sure about your CD rips, but regarding store downloads...
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the problem tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, 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.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
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.

ITunes cuts off some of my songs at exactly 3 minutes 6 seconds.

I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with up to date updates. Strangely, the songs which used to play right through, now stop at exactly 3 minutes and 6 seconds. The songs also cut off when I play then through my iPhone 4 after sycing.
When I play the songs through VLC Media Player via Finder, they play right through perfectly.
I wonder whether this is a fault that's come about through one of the Mountain Lion updates recently.
I've seen a lot of posts with people's songs being cut off short but none make reference to the exact cut off time of 3 minutes, 6 seconds.
I have gone into Get Info for the songs in iTunes and specified the ending time of each song to the song's actual length but they still stop at 3 minutes 6 seconds. Most of my songs play through fine - it's just a bizarre handful.
I hope there's a workaround and would appreciate a solution.
thanks for your time.

Hello arcuspilot,
I would be concerned too if some of my songs were not playing all the way through in iTunes. Thank you for all the details you provided. You have gone through some really good troubleshooting steps already.
The next thing I recommend is checking to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem. You can find the steps to do that in this article:

Ipod shuts off during transfer of songs

I am about to give up on apple and ipods. I bought a 30gb 5th gen iPod in January. After less than 2 months of use, the hard drive completely failed and I had to get the hard drive replaced. I finally got it back after a month.
Now loading songs onto my iPod is impossible. It will transfer a random amount of songs and then the iPod will restart. Sometimes the songs that were transfered are still there, sometimes the entire hard drive is erased. I have tried resetting the iPod, updating the iPod, and using the dskchk command to fix it. THe only other option I can think of is completely reformatting my hard drive and then updating. Any suggestions?
Also, I cant find any email addresses in which to contact apple. I wish to express my concern in their product. I may not be the most technical savvy person out there, but I am not where near illiterate in the area of technology. If this isnt working for me, Im sure others out there are having much more trouble than I am.

My iPod turns off after a few songs.

I just noticed this yesterday, but I always have my iPod on shuffle. And when I was playing it yesterday, after about 10 songs it turned off. When I turned it back on it was like I had plugged it into the computer and it was reset. I played some more songs and it did it again. Can I fix this??

1] Does it gets heated up?
2] Does it stop functioning when it gets turned off?
3] Did you try to use a different power adapter with the camera with the same power specifications?
1] Does it gets heated up?                                                                    NO, it does not: every thing looks as usual.
2] Does it stop functioning when it gets turned off?                              YES, the camera is effectively off, nothing works.
3] Did you try to use a different power adapter with the camera with the same power specifications?
           NO, I just verified the correct functioning of the adapter with a different camera and it does work. However I will try
           a second adapter on the failing camera and let you know.
Thank you for your answer.
