ITunes 6.0.1 causes skips when ripping from CDs

I have been using iTunes to convert my CDs to mp3 files on my Mac. With the advent of iTunes 6.0.1 the mp3 files skip (in the same places) using iTunes, VLC, and the SlimMusic player. The converted mp3 files from earlier versions of iTunes don't have any skips in them using any of these players. I made sure that my Mac wasn't doing anything else when I did the newest conversions. Thus, I can only conclude that iTunes 6.0.1 is causing the problem. Does anyone else have this problem? Is Apple now enforcing some music industry rule about ripping mp3s from CDs? If so, are there any other mp3 ripping progams still available for the Mac? Help!
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I've determined that iTunes has to be the topmost active window when importing, otherwise it will crash consistantly. And I though Microsoft was bad...
iTunes for the Mac works fine though.

How do I transfer the music I ripped from cds I own to a new PC with iTunes?

Greetings y'all.
Some one I work with uses iTunes, and he wants to transfer all of his music from his old computer to his new computer. I went to the apple website trying to find answers. They have some pretty decent tutorials on how to transfer your music from one PC to another PC.
However, here's the curve ball, my co-worker has much music that they ripped from CDs. Whenever I tried some of the methods detailed on those tutorials they would simply not transfer the ripped music, all of which he legitimately purchased.
One of the methods details simply going to the folder that iTunes stores the music and copying it to an external then copy pasting it on to the other computer. When I tried this it not only did not copy the ripped music, it deleted it off of the external. Only the music which he purchased on the Apple iTunes store transferred over successfully.
He still has his old computer and won't get rid of it until we know for certain that his music is safely on his new computer.
Do you guys have any thoughts on this dilemma? Would home sharing work better on this?
The iTunes version on both his computers is the same. He is running Windows 7 on his new machine, and Windows XP on his old machine.

I don't know Windows, so all I can suggest is how one moves the iTunes folder to another machine via an external drive. Now, if he added tracks but did not have them stored into the iTunes library then they are stored elsewhere on the old computer or he's just going to have to re-rip them from the CD. BTW, if he rips them using iTunes, then they should not require any conversion. iTunes rips as MP3s. They shouldn't require any conversion.

You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store.

Itunes wont update track names even when purchased from itunes

my itunes wont update track names even when purchased from itunes

Update them to what?
Are they not correct as purchased from iTunes?
I seriously doubt that the track names are incorrect in the iTunes store and when downloaded to your computer.

ITunes locks up computer when ripping some CDs

I have been building my iTunes library. iTunes rips some CDs with no problem. However, ripping other CDs causes my computer to lock up which requires a hard shut down in order get out of iTunes. The CDs which are a problem with iTunes can be ripped with Windows Media Player and then imported to iTunes but, that makes unnecessary work. Furthermore, I never know which CDs will work with iTunes and which ones won't! I have followed all of the standard "Apple" advise, to included uninstalling and installing the iTunes software a number of times. Nothing helps! Early in 2006, I did not experience this problem. Do you have any ideas?
Inspiron 5150 Windows XP

Though this is a forum for itunes on Windows, I'm having the same issue on my g4 mini, and installed the 7.0.1 update as it was supposed to address this very problem, among others. No difference at all. I've tried importing as AAC, mp3, with different bit rates, and no change. It will import a few tracks, or most of them, or none of them, and then lock up randomly.
The only way around it that I've found is to manually copy all the AIFF files from the cd to my desktop and then import in to itunes from there, and that works without any problem but then I have to enter all the track titles, etc., manually--inconvenient but nothing more.
Anyone else still having trouble with this? My next step will be to uninstall v7 and install v6, but I'd like to find a solution to this so I can still use the nifty features in v7.

Songs ripped from CDs play in iTunes but skip on my iPhone after an upgrade to iTunes 11

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and following the upgrade noticed that certain songs were not playing on my iPhone 5C (iOS 7.1.1). They show in my Library on the phone but skip straight through on the player. They also show with a red stop sign and circles like they're awaiting download but I can't click on this icon. They play fine on iTunes on my desktop. I've noticed that it just seems to be the songs I ripped from my CDs, the ones purchased in the iTunes store work fine.
I work on Windows XP. I've tried reimporting my iTunes Library and syncing again but I still get the same problem
Help please!

7.5.2 Update causing skipping when playing via AirPlay

Since the iOS 4 iPad update, I have been streaming music from my iPad to my AirPort Express from Pandora. There have been no issues with this until I performed the 7.5.2 update to my AX. Now, I am experiencing pretty consistent pauses/skips when trying to listen to music.
I checked my AirPort Express logs, and the only items I'm seeing that seem to be happening pretty frequently seem to be:
- Dec 18 18:51:43 Severity:5 Rotated TKIP group key.
- Dec 18 18:44:31 Severity:4 AirTunes stream from 10.0.100.11 stopped.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Interesting. I just set up a test and things to working ok for me (no skipping). Here is the test:
AirPort Express 7.5.2
iPad 4.2.1
Pandora (latest and greatest off iTunes)
My iPad sits about 7 feet from my AirPort Express. I am stream Pandora music through it (with the "Higher Quality Audio" option enable). My Express is set up for WPA2 PSK, Auto Channel and 802.11N (with b.g compatibility). I am also using Bridge mode since I am behind a NAT firewall already.
I know one difference between our setups right off the bat is you are using NAT (well at least I am assuming you are). Can you see any other differences in our configs? I would like to try an reproduce the problem, gather a wireless sniffer and send it to Apple via ADC.

Please Help! iTunes 7.6.2.9 skips when playing while browsing with Firefox

Why does iTunes skip when browsing with Firefox? I don't have this problem when browsing with Safari or Internet Explorer. I have also contacted the folks at the Firefox forums, but they didn't have an answer either.
I have been having this problem since iTunes 7, and I have not yet received any answer that has solved the issue. I was previously directed to another post here , which discussed a workaround involving +Quicktime/Sound settings+, but that didn't help either. Please help!
Thanks,

Songs skip when dowloaded from CD

When I copy a CD to the iPOD Shuffle library it skips when I listen to it from the library, so it also skips on the iPOD shuffle. I have converted the songs, tried to copy and past, tried to save it to my hard on my PC, etc. When I listen to CDs (store bought and new, not "bootlegged" copies. Please assist as I am a heading back to the store were I purchased it.

Hello, Calandria
Is error correction enabled? (iTunes Preferences/Importing/Use Error Correction ... on my machine)
Another possibility, of course, would be that the CD was produced with a Windows-capable scheme to prevent copying the songs. Can't really help you if that's the case, though.
Good luck

Audio skips when streaming from the internet (pandora/grooveshark).

I'm using airport extreme, wired connection, to a macbook pro (2011) and mac pro (2009). audio skips on both devices when streaming from pandora or grooveshark. problem has persisted through system upgrades, clean installs etc... Problem persists through different web browsers (Firefox/chrome/safari)
Ironicaly, Itunes radio does not skip, neither does netflix.
I have seen COUNTLESS posts regarding this problem from many different APPLE users. I would love to see apple address this problem...

Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem. Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio. If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play. I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.

In iTunes, why does music which has been ripped from a best-of CD continue to show the year of the CD release even after I change the year to the year of the song release in playlists?

I often rip music from CDs of artists that released songs in the '60s and '70s. When I rip the music, in iTunes it shows the year of the CD release, usually something in the '90s or 2000s. I change the year in 'Get Info' to the correct year, and it changes it fine. However, after a while, it will show the old year again, the year of the CD. This is a problem because I like to arrange playlists based on song years, and this messes with that.
Tell me: is there a way to permanently fix the reverting year problem? Also, when I spot a song that this has happened to, when I click on 'Get Info', the correct ear is still in there, and when I hit 'OK' it changes back. This is really frustrating...

In some cases the original iTunes Store metadata seems to be given preference over personal changes. If you are seeing this then
Go to Edit > Preferences > Store and turn off
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Share details about your library with Apple
On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
Show All Music
Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data. If not it should reset as you play through content, or you can use my script UpdateTagInfo to force iTunes to read the current data from the tags.

ITunes displaying garbage instead of Japanese when importing from file and.

not a CD. How can I correct that? Changing the ID tag doesn't help. Is there a script or app that would correct it? The OS displays it correctly when listed from the finder.
iTunes is great, but it needs to be more language friendly. TIA!!!

Sorry, the only way to fix this is to get your ID3 tags correct. Nothing wrong with iTunes. See this note for some info and a couple apps that may help:

Icloud errors not syncing songs ripped from CDs

I've been an iCloud customer since November 2011. However, since converting to iCloud the songs I've ripped from my CD collection nor songs (.aac) that were purchased from Amazon no longer sync. iCloud errors out each morning, I'm asked to log off then back on (which I do dutifully) but the error continues. My music is flagged "Waiting" and so it does! Everything else works, which is totally aggravating since the problem is obviously itunes or a server side issues.
I've contacted support multiple times and the last "genius" stated that "I do not have the training or tools to assist you". That's about the nicest bugger off line I've ever heard!
Well months later and still no fix, and the issue lingers.
I was hoping soeone out there could direct me to a solution, contact, or a trueiTunes genius that could help.. Ill pay, I just want iCloud to work as it's designed to I'd be happy if it did that much!
