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!

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.

ITunes continuously cutting off ends of songs while playing

Whenever I play music on iTunes on my macbook, the song always finishes before the actual end. The start and stop time have not been changed for any of the songs. It never finishes in the same spot and it will also count that as a 'play' of the song even though it hasn't been played through fully. This is frustrating me and I have no idea how to fix it.

I have not had a major problem with this, only two of my songs have done this, but what I do to fix it is go into itunes and right click on the song and click get info. On the options tab just check the stop time box and the problem should be fixed. It doesn't keep the problem from happening again, but it is a way to fix one song... hope that helps

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,

Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?

I am new to ITunes. I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

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

in garage band, i want to import a 20 minute wav file and cut it into individual songs, and export them to itunes or dropbox or ...
i've imorted the file to audio for imovie, but can't see how to chop it up, save the pieces as individual units, and export them.

Create a new GarageBand project using the "Voice" template.
Drag you wav file into the Track area of the GarageBand window to create an audio track for it.
Use the playback button to find the gaps between the songs.
Mark each song in turn with the cycle region. Press the button with the two blue chasing arrows to enable the cycle region. This will create a yellow bar at the top of the track area. Drag the ends of this bar to mark one of your songs.
Now use the "Share" menu to send your song to iTunes.
When done, adjust the cycle region to mark the second song.

End of songs are cut off

I have several tracks that are cut off with 4-5 seconds left. The next song immediately starts.
Anybody else have this problem and now what to do with it?

I think in iTunes, you might have changed your settings. The settings allow you to select when to end your song, crossfade your songs etc. Go and check your iTunes preferences.

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

Can't delete, cut, or copy a song onto my iPhone 4S from charging it onto iTunes

When I have a song on my phone and I want 2 delete it on iTunes I can't delete, cut, or copy that song and also the "get info" button has the info in grey. When I delete a song on my phone, the song on iTunes will have an "!" Sign beside it after clicking the deleted song on my phone. PLEASSEEE HELPPP!!! It's been like this for a longgg while.

B2Veil,
The best way to ensure the content gets removed from your iPhone is to back it up and then Erase All Content and Settings. See the article belows below for more info:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'
You can remove all settings and information from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using "Erase All Content and Settings" in Settings > General > Reset.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Certain songs in iTunes skip to the next song before the song ends

I purchased Incubus and Weezer songs a while ago, and when trying to listen to the entire songs with iTunes for Windows Vista, the songs skip to a different song/artist for some reason before they end. I then played at least one of the songs on my iPad, where they are already in my iTunes, and did not experience that particular problem for some reason.
Also, I don't know if it matters, but I almost always use shuffle mode when listening to music in iTunes.

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.

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 ?

My downloaded song from iTunes match "cloud" cuts into the next song half way though the song

This happens on most of my songs that are not bought on iTunes. The uploaded copies are great they play fine untill you download them to anything. Then problem i have ocurrs. The problem is that half way through a downloaded song it cuts into the next song, while still telling me that the first song is still playing.
I have tryed deleting then redownloading the song onto multiple divices like my iPhones, iPad but the song is still only plays half.
well i hope someone can help fix this it's realy is annoying

Fixed it....after searching here and seeing that there was a pretty widespread problem with that whole Kelly Clarkson album.
My song was an imported MP3 from my CD. I deleted it from the cloud and then locally on my PC I "Created AAC version". Then reupdated iTunes match. Now it plays fine.

Downloaded a song from itunes and it ends almost 2 minutes early and skips to next track
