Ipod playing wrong song

I have been having problems with my iPhone 4: when playing the iPod, it will say one song is playing but it's really playing another. Also, every so often it will just stop playing altogether and I have to turn my phone off and back on to get it working again.
Has anyone else had a problem like this? How did you fix it?
THANKS!!

I had this same problem a while back and I remember what worked was plugging in your iPod and then choosing "Restore" from the "Summary" menu in iTunes. You'll have to wait a while to let it resync, but once it does the album artwork should be back to normal.
Hope this helps!

Ipod plays wrong song

Ok, so I've posted a few topics about this a while ago, but none got answered, so...
Sometimes when I select a song for my Ipod to play, it attemps to play the song for a few seconds, it cant, then it playes a different song. I dont know whats up, its the newest firmwear, 1.1.1. I've reset it, and I deffinantly dont want to restore it. I did this on all the other different firmwears that I have had, 1.0, 1.1, and now 1.1.1. So, does anyone know a way to fix it? Or contact apple about it?

Don't be so sure of that. Also, you can get files from your iPod and put them back on your computer. (Might I suggest an external hard drive for the future?)
PodUtil
YamiPod
Both will rip files from your iPod, and place them in a specified folder on your computer.

My iPod Nano 5G plays wrong songs!!

I have. An iPod Nano 5g and recently he plays wrong song I select a song, the title is displayed, but the iPod is playing a different song. How can I fix it? The iPod has never gejailbreak, and restore in itunes (via the Internet) failed.

Are you sure you have the files tagged correctly in iTunes? When you play this same track in iTunes is it the correct song?

Ipod playing all songs twice

Hi
I bought an Ipod Touch 32GB for Xmas for my daughter. It keeps playing every song twice. We can't change this. My son's Ipod Touch does not do this. Is it faulty or are we doing something wrong with this one.

Do you have repeat on?

IPhone plays wrong song, but shows correct name and artwork

Sometimes when I try to play a song on my iPhone using iTunes match, the song gets stuck at 0:00 and won't play, or the correct artwork shows with the correct meta info, but the wrong song is playing. Any ideas? I'm not trying to stream any of these song so it shouldn't be a bandwidth issue or anything like that.

I checked out page 61 about shuffling songs. I do shuffle the songs, however, my iPhone mixes up the audio and the track info.
Let's say I click on Between The Buried and Me's song Ants of the Sky, the iPhone will then show the proper information, say it's playing it, but then I hear something like Three Dog Night's One. These are files bought on iTunes and I am positive the track information and whatnot is correct in iTunes.
If the audio the iPhone is playing is longer than the song it says it's playing, the song will cut off early. The songs it chooses to play seem completely random, although a few songs are more frequently mis-played than others. This happens whether I am shuffling the songs or not. I first assumed that I had downloaded a corrupted file from iTunes, but then after multiple full restores, nothing seems to be fixing the problem.
Also, the more i play it, the more songs seem to get messed up. It's rather frustrating, I must say.

Mac iTunes plays wrong songs

I know this question is posted alot, but I can't seem to find an answer. If anyone can link me to the solution I'd be very appreciative.
On my macbook pro when I open itunes and choose a song to play, the wrong song plays (select something by Yes, I get a song by Led Zepplin etc). Select the same song on my Iphone and its plays correctly. I do have Itunes match turned on.
If I go to the exact file through Finder and select it, the correct song plays.
Seems like some corruption with my Itunes library?
Any help appreciated.

Spotify plays wrong song

I have a strange issue with my spotify on my PC. I have like 5 tracks on my spotify account that when I play them they play a totally different song that I never heard of. They were correct for a while then all of a sudden they started to play a totally different song. I have tried many things to resolve the issue like logging off, reinstalling spotify, deleting all the cache, ect. When I play the songs on my Ipad or android device they are correct. They are tracks that I listened more frequently than others but I really have no clue to why it won't play the correct song. I've searched the forum some to see if someone has the same issue but I couldn't find anyone who had the exact same issue. Help would be appreciated.

Hello: I am referring to the Spotify Desktop app. In the settings there are options to add in local music files sources. I am just trying isolate where the issue might be at with the wrong songs being played. Sometimes it is a local music file that has not linked up correctly to a track in the spotify service, when local music files are added into the Spotify App. Unselect these local music file sources and doing a logout and log back in and then checking those same Spotify music tracks that at first played the wrong song, sometimes this action fixes this issue, and allows the user to then add back local music file sources and not have the issue reappear again.

What songs are incorrect for you? I came to here to report the same issue. If I try to play (by using the web player) artist "The Greatest Bits", most popular song "Donkey Kong Country Theme", it starts playing Machinae Supremacy - Laser Speed Force. This has continued for a while now.

Why will my ipod play a song or two and then reset itself?

Earlier, I had an issue with synchronizing my iPod to iTunes - it kept freezing up. I reset and restored the iPod, then I re-installed iTunes and I finally was able to transfer music. Now, the iPod will play a song or two, then the music stops and the black "apple" logo shows up on the screen and resets itself. What's going on here? It is the 8gb iPod Nano Black.
Dell Inspiron 700m Windows XP Pro

As you have tried all the usual things like a reset and restore, it sounds like it needs service.
You can arrange online service here.

Just a thought. You've checked to see if it's a bad song file?

Opening Spotify URL PLays wrong song

Hi, i have a problem with sharing spotify Track URLs. Always when a song lives in an Album with 2 CDs it plays the wrong song when i open a spotify URL. This url ( spotify:track:1noADETgR8OFyvszD3sI0n ) should be Bonnie Tylor - It´s a Heartache.but it plays Bonnie Tylor - Lost in France. I have tried with 2 different computers and 2 different accounts, booth windows. It always does the same thing. Can someone test and doublecheck ? Thanks for helping me out. Kind Regards, Christoph

I have the same issue. Also, when playing songs from "Popular" it plays the equivalent track number on the first album.
This seems to occur on the first album I play when starting Spotify. Going to another album resolves the issue and going back it's working as intended again.
Are you storing info from last played artist/album on shutdown and restoring it upon startup? Somehow the index on track-collections of last played artist seems to be +1 on startup.

Ipod plays unchecked songs

To stop unchecked songs being updated you have to choose "Only sync checked items" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. Unchecking the song in iTunes isn't enough: Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows

Old 160GB iPod plays 3 songs and freezes

Hello, I have an old 160GB ipod and it will play 3 songs then the screen will freeze on the third song at 00:02 or 00:03. It will stay there until the song finishes and the iPod will not play anything else and the buttons are unresponsive until i restart it using the force quit function. I hooked it back up to my computer and checked the software and it is up to date, then I tried to re-sync it but was unable to preform that function. The disk is full (I have about 400K of free space) I was wondering: do I have to start from square one and reformat my iPod or is there another way to remedy this horrid inconvenience?

Like with any hard disk, I'd suggest that leaving around 10% of iPod Classic disk space free would be sensible.
My guess is that your iPod is just too gorged. 400k from 160Gb is aan absolutely tiny amount of free space, just one four-hundred-thousandth of the total capacity!!

My ipod play all songs, one after the next...

When I click on a song in my ipod and play it, after it's done it goes to the next alphabetical song in my list and starts playing that, and so on. How do I get it to just play the song I select and then stop?

on your ipod select music> select artist>select album>then slect the song in that album to play. It will afterwards go on to play the other songs in the album you selected.
To truly only play 1 song then the easiest way would to place that particualr song by itself in a playlist adn then play that playlist.
Or you can jsut simply press the pause button after you ahve listend tot hat 1 song that you chose to listen tooo.
GFF:)

IPod plays certain songs only from Mac

Hi everybody,
I've never went into problems with my 1st generation iPod but I'm in a little trouble now.
I've put some AAC made by iTunes from a cd of mine inside the iPod and they were copied correctly.
When it comes to play them from the iPod connected to the Mac, everything is ok; the only thing wrong is that if I try do the very same thing once sconnected, the player refuses to play the tracks.
Strangely enough, it happens only with this album, the others behave perfectly !!
What can I do ?
Many thanks.

Hi Ricacardo,
You might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #300766 on iPod: Troubleshooting songs and audiobooks that won't play and Knowledge Base Document #93867 on Some Songs in iTunes Won't Copy to iPod.
