IPod cuts song before the end then skips to the song

Over the last few months my 2nd generation iPod (bought March 2006) has started cut songs/tracks before the end, usually with about a minute or so to run, then skips to the next track.  However this fault is intermittent and appears to be random as there is no pattern to it, eg. every 2nd or 3rd track. 

In iTunes, there is a feature which allows you to trim your songs. This feature simply sets a different start and finish time on the song. If you sync the song to your ipod, then it will appear to you that the song has been cut.

  • Itunes plays song for 10 seconds then skips to next song and so on....

    Hey Everyone
    I recently acquired a macbook (love it). However I have one issue, I imported all my music off my windows formatted ipod, and then formatted my Ipod for Mac. Everything plays fine, however I have one major issue. Some (not all) of the songs in itunes play for about 10 seconds and then jump to the next song. if I skip ahead past this 10 second barrier, the song plays fine . This happens on my itunes as well as my ipod.
    Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated

  • Sometimes my ipod nano will have a voice announcement of the song and then skip to the next song on the cd and then announce again and skip again over and over again??

    Sometimes my ipod nano will have a voice announcement of the name of the song playing after the song starts and then skip to the next song in line and then repeat the announcement and then skip, again and again....

    Sounds like VoiceOver has been activated.  See this article for instructions on how to turn it off.

  • I have a few iPods that cut off the ends of quite a few songs.  When I play the same songs on iTunes, they play through.  It's only the iPods that cut off.  What can I do to fix this?

    Hi
    This is the same problem I am having, did you figure it out yet?
    Thank you

  • I downloaded a song and i tried to listen to it but it will only play the first half of the song and then skip to the next song.

    I downloaded several songs successfully to my ipod nano (5) but this particular song when i tried to listen to it would play for the first half and then skip to the next song in the playlist like the ipod thought the song was over.

    Did you download from itunes? If not, some websites save the song too quickly or in a format that glitches.
    I've had this problem before with both itunes and non itunes purchases, try deleting it and re-downloading.

  • I've bought and downloaded music from itunes, but the ends of almost all my songs are cut off and will not play, how can I fix this?

    I've bought and downloaded music from itunes, but the ends of almost all my songs are cut off and will not play, how can I fix this? Most of the music cuts off abouthalf way through the song, then it skips to the next one. Itunes also says I have not purchased the album though it is listed under my purchased albums. It's incrediabley frustrating, please help.

    go to the itunes store. select more in the bottom right select purchased. then press the cloud icon to DL striaght to the phone. Id use wifi. you can also DL into computer then synv over to phone.

  • TS1718 I have purchased two complete albums in the last three weeks, old Bob Seger and new Maroone 5, both have the same issue, only a few songs will play and will skip over the rest of the songs on IPod and on computer????

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & 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 unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    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.

  • HT4993 My songs cut off before they end on my iphone.

    My songs cut off before they end on my iphone.

    Same problem. I have submitted feedback. It appears that a significant number of people are experiencing the same problem and have been for months - yet, no official response of correction from Apple. This problem is also affecting the 'Match' product they're trying to sell. I would recommend waiting until this problem is fixed before signing up for Match.

  • Song randomly stops, then skips to the next?

    I just got an iPod touch. It's not a big deal, but ,at the same time during a few certain songs, the iPod stops playing, pauses for a few seconds and then skips to the next song. There are a few songs I have found to do this and it's kind of annoying because they're good songs. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is anything that can be done to fix it. Thanks

    Hi 414927cj,
    Sorry to hear you're facing difficulties on enjoying iPod's functionalities.
    I would recommend you to delete the songs in question and then re-sync them. This would fix your problem!
    Hope this helps!

    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • Whenever I play a certain song on my iPod, it will stop in the middle and skip to the next song in the album

    Whenever I play this one song on my iPod nano, it stops in the middle and skips to the next song. It's the same for iTunes. I had looked it up on other forums and other people with the same problem were told that they had to reinstall iTunes or something, not sure I'll really have to do that. Thank you for any advice!

    Well, the problem is with iTunes, too. It will still skip on there. Will I have to delete it from there and download it again.

  • TS1424 some albums when downloaded only play partial parts of songs then skips to the next song how do i fix this?

    i downloaded Korn the path of totality and the first 4 songs work the next 4-5 just plays 10-12 seconds of the song then skips to the next the last 4 songs seems to work.  Also i downloaded Tyga- carless world and each song shows up twice on my iphone and it only plays a couple of the songs, it wont play some and skips to others ones it seems random, but it plays fine on my itunes on my computer.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
