Itunes cuts off end of tracks

iTunes is cutting off the end of some songs on CDs I'm importing. It wouldn't be bad if it was just the fade out for the last 10 seconds of the song, but it's cut off a few tracks right in the middle and I can't seem to make sense of it; ie it isn't because of a dead spot in the track that might trick iTunes into think the song is over and doesn't the data from the CDA file tell iTunes how long the track is anyway? Re-importing the track fixes the problem, but it's really annoying.
Is the iPod compatible with Nero? I'm using ACC at 256vbr, could that be the problem? Should I switch to MP3? I'm not a big fan of MP3 because it seems more prone to pops, static, etc.
Any help or advice?
Thanks,
iPod Newbie

New version of iTunes cuts off end of track

I've just updated iTunes and now have Version 7.6.1.9. Now when I import a CD, the last few seconds of the final track are missing. This is very frustrating - can anyone help?

Same issue as forum I started called "iTunes 7.6.1.9 import - last track on CD cuts 6 seconds short"
PLEASE Launch iTunes --->Help--> provide iTunes feedback ---> report the BUG!!
I can confirm the workaround does work..import as AIFF and then set import setting back to whatever you nortmally use. Right click on your track and select Convert to MP3 or AAC or whatever
To save time, I filled all 3 drives in my system with discs and did the operation in parallel
eg
Select all tracks but the last on each disc
Import as MP3
Then change to AIFF
select only the last tracks on the 3 discs
Import as AIFF
Then change import settings back to MP3
Right click each file and select convert to MP3
It's a lot of work but I had several I really wanted to get done

Itunes cut off ends of songs names

My songs names are cutted by itunes, a tried to convert with the ID3 converter but nothing has changed...
Thank you for your help and sorry for my poor english.

Dude, I first noticed the problem on iTunes a while back. I've been growing my mp3 collection since 1999 and its about 80gigs now so you can imagine how ****** off I was when iTunes cut all the song titles that were long. I have songs that are now named like this: Michael Jackson & The Jackson Five -
Chris CA you are totally missing the point here. iTunes didn't warn Neesh and I that it was going to completely f*%k our song names up. The first time I installed and ran iTunes it also took my 60 gigs of music and sorted it into folders, most of which were named "Unknown Album". It also copied the music into the iTunes Music folder so that there it took up twice as much hard drive space.
Anyway Neesh, I tried Media Monkey but that was worse. Now I have a bunch of files that are .mediamonkey files. What the **** is that?
So far, the best mp3 player was the original WinAmp. Its since been messed up so we're all stuck with iTunes. I wouldn't be surprised if one day it deletes all my mp3's that weren't purchased from the itunes store. So now I am backing up all my music.

Why won't Apple fix this problem of iTunes Cutting off songs?

I've owned seven different ipods and three iPhones. On EVERY ONE OF THEM iTunes cuts off many songs after two or three seconds of playing. We're talking here about songs either uploaded from commercially purchased DVDs or the iTunes store. I have no bootleg music, I don't customize anything related to iTunes. I just buy music and download it into iTunes from MacBook Pro laptops that are similarly as standard as one can get. Yet when I listen to the albums of songs I've just purchased, random songs play for two seconds and then change to another song. When I've researched this issue across the Web I've found detailed complaints going back as early as 2004 and I can't believe that EVERY Apple iTunes system and device I've purchased over many years has behaved in this exact manner. What are these "Apple Support Communities" FOR is Apple fails to either correct the problems they report or, worse, even acknowledge problems that are documented by thousands of users of a wide variety of iTunes related products? I don't want to have to use a work-around or a reload or some of the other Rube Goldberg-like solutions others have suggested in these and other forums. I'm spending thousands of dollars on Apple equipment and software and I simply want the Apple iTunes devices and music that I buy to WORK AS ADVERTISED, which they don't. I just want my music to play as it is supposed to play. Why can't Apple make that happen?

That's happing to me, any solution ?

Itunes cutting off songs. Alternate media player?

I have been noticing songs ending abruptly/being cut off, but only randomly. I downloaded 28 songs 2 days ago and due to the nature of the music, it was totally unacceptable to have songs ending abruptly or being cut off! 3 hours on the phone with Apple, in conjuction with itunes support only resulted in me getting a refund. I really wanted the music! So, I downloaded Amazon's Cloud player, did a test download of 3 songs, and....... guess what? Same problem. I'm really thinking I'd like to try another media player. I assume itunes is my default media player, so any suggestions out there?
Macbook, MacPro and iphone5. Same problem on all devices.
OSX 10.8.3
itunes and iOS all up to date.

Ok, just spent awhile on the phone with Apple...we came up for a quick fix. It's basically the same as TimWillz with one addition:
Delete the tracks from itunes, empty the trash, then re-download using the purchased or iCloud in the Itunes store. The purchased link is in the quicklinks bar on the right of the itunes store homescreen. A cloud should appear once the songs are deleted, and trash emptied, and you can redownload the songs.
I didn't do anything with the "simultaneous downloads untick" as TimWillz suggested, maybe it was already unticked. But regardless, this seemed to work.
As for why this happened, apple engineering is going to look into it and should have a response to me in a few days. I'll update.

ITunes cutting off songs

I have a music collection over 60 Gig on iTunes and I have been noticing lately that certain songs just cut off in the middle and skip to the next song. Now when I go back to the song that skipped I try to play it to the part it skipped and it is complete silence for 10 seconds and then the song continues where it was 10 seconds later. This is happening to random songs in iTunes. Has nayone else ever seen this? Right now I am just keeping track of the songs that skip and re-importing them over again and the song is fine again but this is happening continually to different songs and becoming a bit of a pain.

I have the same problem. Most people tell you to turn the crossfade off in prefrences, which I have done, but I still have the problem.

ITunes cutting off songs Mountain Lion

Many of my tracks are cutting off at various points while playing. This has happened since I installed Mountain Lion. (could be highly coincidental)
They are a mix of songs I purchased from iTunes and ripped from my CDs.
I have not adjusted the stop times in the song options.
The option of "deleting and re-download from iTunes" isn't appropriate either as not all the songs are from iTunes.
Thanks for your support!

ITunes cutting off length of podcast episodes

Help! I am having an issue where two of my iTunes podcast episodes are being cut off and ending prematurely - about half way through. I've spent half the day trying to trouble shoot this without any luck.
I am editing the files correctly in Garageband, uploading them correctly, etc. They appear fine on my website and when I download them.
The two episodes in questions are here: http://www.openworldmag.com/22-created-muse-business-backpacking-europe-fred-per rotta-tortuga-backpacks/ (length - 55:58)
And here: http://www.openworldmag.com/21-digital-nomad-ben-finnigan/ (length - 1:04:41)
On my site, they are fine, but when you go to my iTunes page (itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-openworld-podcast/id896941830) and try to view them in iTunes the length of episode 21 is only 24 mins and episode 22 is 37 mins.
I am hosting the podcasts on my WordPress website and using the Blubrry plugin. Can anyone give me a hint as to what is wrong? I have tried a bunch of things, I've reuploaded new files, changed meta information, and nothing is working.
Thank you for your help!

Well finaly broke down and gave rebuilding from the XML file a try. That's solving a problem with a sledghamer.
So yes my songs now end up in the right length, but:
It duplicated a huge part of my exsisting library, and maybe moved parts of it or maybe deleted files*. No idea which. Original itunes library was 620+ gigs and now I have two itunes librarys each 430+- gigs. Look forward to figuring that out!
It turned a massive number of my Podcasts into songs. So that will be fun to disentangle.
iPod and iPhone preferences don't copy, so I have to rebuild all my phone sync settings.
So basically, a really crappy fix unless you have a small library and don't use podcasts.
Better solution needed Apple!!!!!
*I was one of the lucky bastards who had iTunes delete hundreds of gigs of podcasts on r11. So I have no faith in it not doing it again.

Encoding from WAV to M4A cuts off ending?

I batch encoded four audio-books for a client, editing in STP, outputting as WAVs, then using Compressor 3.5.3 to create the final deliverable AACs, with file-extension M4A. The client's QC folks got back to me saying the ends of several files had the last word cut off. I checked the WAVs, which were fine, but sure enough—the M4A files were between a half and three-quarters of a second shorter! Anybody else observe this behavior? Any fixes, besides pasting in a coupla seconds of Room Tone at the end?

I have this problem as well. I haven't done anything (on purpose anyway) to change the format of my WAV audio files, but when I play them now in iTunes 11 the last 1-2 seconds is missing on all of my WAV files.
It would seem that it has more to do with changes in iTunes than with the files themselves, which I haven't altered as far as I know.

Music cuts off on three tracks about 30 seconds in and skips to the next. how do i fix it?

I downloaded an album and the music cuts off on three of the tracks about 30 seconds in and skips to the next. can i fix it, if so how??, i would really like these tracks for when im running and its driving me nuts

Hey Apollo10,
That definitely sounds frustrating. If the songs are not playing fully in iTunes, they may need to be redownloaded. After you have redownloaded the songs, they should play fully and you can enjoy them when you go running. If not, please let me know.
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
Thanks,

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:

Song purchased from iTunes cuts off

Bought an entire album on iTunes for one song and when I go to play it in iTunes it will only play the first 1:45 (it's a 16 minute song!) It obviously didn't download correctly but I'm not sure what to do. It also cuts off on my iPod. The rest of the album seems to play fine but of course the song I want is "album only." Help!

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again using the Purchased link in the right-hand column of the iTunes Store home page.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

Itunes cut off song names

My songs names are cutted by itunes, a tried to convert with the ID3 converter but nothing has changed...
Thank you for your help and sorry for my poor english.

If you mean that the file and folder names are cut off at 40 characters long, then that is a "feature" of iTunes for Windows.

Songs purchased from iTunes cut off and do not show as purchased

I've had iTunes roughly since 2006. All my purchases don't show up in the purchased playlist. Quite a few of the songs (like the entire Sleep Through the Static album) cut off about 2 1/2 minutes into the song. I saw some people had deleted their "corrupt" files and then redownload them from the store but since many of the songs don't even show up as purchased anymore in mine (maybe do to the newer computer) this is not an option
Is there a way to fix this or am I out of luck?

Hello Radgeta,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

If you do not find your purchases there, don't worry—you can easily associate them with your Purchased playlist.
Best of luck,

ITunes cutting of ends of songs

Just today, I opened iTunes to listen to music, and it started cutting off the last 10 or so seconds of songs. It would then play about 2 or 3 seconds in the background of the beginning of the next song. I restarted my computer to see if it was that, but iTunes still kept doing it. I was only listening to one album, and I tried other albums to see if it was just that one, but I can't really tell because the album I was originally listening to has songs that are sort of sequential and one song continues the next. (It's kind of hard to explain...)
But anyways, does anyone know what's wrong with it? Or more importantly, how to fix it? I imported this CD into iTunes about a month ago and I haven't had problems since, but now I can't get it fixed.

I'm having the same problem-would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance!
