Itunes Delaying Mid-Song

Hey guys, I'm new here,
I've been looking up previously related forum topics and doing some research but can't find a solution to my problem.
I have a ridiculously fast computer (4 gigs ram, 450 gig HD) using window 7 and currently latest update of itunes, and I'm experiencing something quite odd.
At random times throughout playback of a song, (completely random it seems, happens sometimes not at all in one day and happens sometimes 3 times in 1 song) the song will simply just stop playing for a second or two, then start playing again. Nothing but a delay.
FYI, I use an external soundcard, an audio 2 DJ interface whitch has my speakers plugged in.
Has this happened before? Any ideas?
thanks

Thanks Roger! Problem is, I already got 6.01 & there appears to be no update yet! I just hope that this issue is addressed with the next update as I've seena few other posts relating to similar problems!
Maybe I'll try to re-install an older version that was more reliable with the basic task of music playback. After all, thats what we want at the end of the day!

  • ITunes stops mid song

    All software is up to date and all old and recent songs do the same thing play for a bit, then it stops/freezes then plays again. Does this or every track. WHY?!?

    I got a similar problem.
    There are some songs that will play perfectly on Winamp or WMP, but when on iTunes, it will play until an specific point and then change to the next song like if the song had just ended, but it hasn't. It's on mid-song.

  • ITunes pausing mid-song

    I am a Mac veteran using the latest version of iTunes (6) and operating system (Tiger) but am disappointed to have discovered that my music pauses for a second or two with almost every track played!!!
    I used to enjoy using iTunes to play music at parties etc but now feel embarrassed that I'll be let down with the playback quality! What's going on???
    Has anyone else noticed this or is there an easy solution that I don't know about!
    All comments welcome!

  • TS1470 Downloaded songs stop mid-song in iTunes music library and on iPod.

    I received the 'secure network connection could not be established' error message several times during a recent audio download.  I was able to eventually complete all of the downloads by going to the 'available downloads' area.  However, when I played back the downloaded songs, several of them ended mid-song although the complete songs appear to have successfully downloaded judging by the 'Time' (minutes) count for each song.  (Interestingly enough, the majority of the songs that stopped mid-song during playback were marked as having high popularity in the iTunes store.)
    I've had this issue with previous downloads too.  I've been charged for and have paid for these songs, but didn't receive the full product in some cases.  It's very frustrating that I'm not able to enjoy these songs in their entirety.
    Have other folks had this issue?  What is the resolution?

    Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

  • Got iTunes match, synced up music from laptop to phone, headed out listening to playlist, all of a sudden, mid-song, music stopped and all music was gone and needed to be re-downloaded

    Ok, so I initially bought the cloud mainly in the hopes that I could store all of my music on it and have access to it on my phone, which ended up not being the case. Fine. So I man up and get iTunes match, sync everything up between my laptop and my phone, make a playlist and head out listening to it. All of a sudden while I'm out, mid-song, the music stops. I go to see what's going on and everything is gone and has the icon to download next to it, and now I'm away from my wifi to boot, so charges apply. I don't understand. Now I have iCloud on my phone with 25 GB Total Storage and 25 GB Available because I don't understand what I should be using it for and iTunes match which, what, only works when I'm within spitting distance of my laptop? I've tried to get everything sorted out, paying a fee each time, and hitting roadblocks every step of the way; and on top of it, my phone is constantly telling me it can't do this or that because I don't have enough storage?? I realize I'm a bit of a noob, but c'mon, it shouldn't be this complicated or difficult, should it?

    If you have no network access (3G, Wi Fi) you cannot stream music from the cloud. Period.The way you stop the behavior is to enable 3G, or pre-download the tracks you think you will want to listen to. 

  • ITunes sometimes skips mid-song

    OS X, 10.9 here. iTunes (11.1.5) sometimes skips mid songs. These mp3s work fine on my iPhone. Solution?

    I have the same problem, did you ever get a fix? Mine also seems associated with Firefox, like if I change a page in Firefox or hit a new link the music locks up.

  • HT1725 I have downloaded an album from itunes, and one or two of the songs play in full but most of them stop mid song, even though it said 'download complete'. How do I fix this?

    I have downloaded an album from itunes, and one or two of the songs play in full but most of them stop mid song, even though it said 'download complete'. How do I fix this?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Itunes Freezes and songs freeze mid-way through playing

    Hello,
    I've been having a lot of trouble recently with my itunes..
    I've been downloading music off of itunes and Importing CDs, and have found that many songs stop at a certain point and freeze up itunes. Some songs even refuse to play at all.
    For instance:
    Track 18, "Nick and Norah's theme" from "Nick & Norah's infinite playlist original soundtrack" it will play up to 1:13 and then stop. The button says "pause" as if it was still playing. I can see that the artists and album is moving on the top of the screen, i am able to highlight other songs but then when i click on other songs iTunes, itself, freezes up.
    I have restarted iTunes many times and the same problem occurs.
    When I click on a later part in the song (past 1:13)
    It plays for a little bit and then freezes up again.
    I JUST downloaded this album and am finding that it is giving me trouble like it has been with other songs.
    This happened once before and I took action by deleting my "iTuneslibrary.itl" and restoring it, as it says to in support. And this didn't help at all.
    I also updated to the new iTunes and it didn't help at all.
    I've tried about everything and now i am at wit's end.
    Can anyone help me out? It is frustrating when one can't even listen to his new CD.
    I tried upgrading to 8.0.1 the problem still occurs.
    I went into change/remove programs and repaired it
    but yet, the same problem STILL OCCURS
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

    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 those 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.

  • Delay after song in Garage Band

    ok, so i recorded a live DJ mix set (on vinyl) onto Garage Band. it came out great, crisp, clear, yada yada yada. i break up the big long song file into each song part (there are 4 in total) and i send them to my iTunes.
    here's the problem....
    when i play the songs and it's about to switch over from one song to the next, there's a gap! ahh! now, ask ANY DJ, and they'll tell you that they HATE any kind of delay inbetween songs. i wanted it to go right into the next one, but i can't have that because of the delay. how do i get rid of that? does anyone know? i tried taking the song from iTunes, opening it up in Garage Band, deleting the delay at the end, and it STILL put it on back in iTunes...
    help! please! someone!

    To set the pause length between songs:
    Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Click Advanced and then click Burning.
    Choose a setting from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.

  • Change MIDI song names

    MIDI song names cannot be changed. This has been a problem since iTunes 6.0

    You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

  • Changing MIDI song names

    Song names cannot be changed for some MIDI songs with iTunes 7.1. This problem has existed since iTunes 6.0. When is Apple going to correct the problem?
    Apparently they are interested in using iTunes only for the purpose of selling music.

    Sounds like your song files are Read Only and/or you do not have Write permissions to them.

  • Itunes delays ONLY when playing mp3's. Also it delays when I move any file type into a playlist. Help! I'm about to go back to Windows Media Player!

    Hi friends! Like I said Itunes delays ONLY when playing mp3's. Also it delays when I move any file type into a playlist.
    Here's what I've done so far;
    I 've checked my external hardrive (by playing it off my internal instead), I've tried reinstalling (although it wasn't an uninstall), I've tried clicking on all the neccesary boxes (let itunes organize files, copy files, consolidate, and reorganize), I've tried different sound cards, I've tried moving files quickly (as some have said this works). I'm not sure what's wrong. I have 7000 songs.
    Any help would be great!

    Have you tried installing Media Manager on another computer and streaming the songs from there?
    How about smaller playlists? See the same problem?

  • My Old iPod freezes mid-song

    I have a 40Gb circa 2003 (old-age generation!!) iPod, while using out and about, it freezes mid-song, runs down battery and switches off. When I connect via dock at home, all OK, it recharges and plays through my iMac OK. But it will lock up if I try to play remotely! Please Help! Will it be expensive to repair or does it just need a new battery? (Like my hearing aid - those batteries never last this long!)
    Thanks

    Try disabling hard disk use.
    (Itunes -> Edit -> Preferences -> Ipod -> General)
    I've tried most of the answers suggested on these discussion boards - I've restored to factory settings (several times), I've tried running chkdsk on the Ipod from Windows XP, I've rolled back to ITunes v4 (the one on the cd I got with the Ipod) and none of them worked.
    Then I just unchecked the box to allow the Ipod to be used as a hard disk and (so far) that seems to have done the trick (I've played several albums without any skipping or freezing so far).
    I'm still on Itunes v4. I'll try upgrading to v5 or v6 and see if it still works.
    Good luck.

  • ITunes not showing songs that are on the iPod Touch

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation.
    I use iTunes 11.0.
    I usually connect my iPod Touch to iTunes and play songs from there because I do not put songs in my itunes library.
    I was doing this as usual and today when I connected my iPod Touch to iTunes, songs did not show up on the music tab of "On This iPod".
    Just the previous day, I opened iTunes and there were all my songs.
    Today, iTunes does not show any of my downloaded songs that were not bought from the iTunes Store.
    The iTunes Capacity Bar shows that I have songs on my iPod Touch.
    But when clicking on the iPod and going under the music tab in "On This iPod", there is no music other than a few songs, which were purchased from the iTunes Store itself.
    I also tried third party software just today to check if I can get the songs off my iPod.
    I tried using SharePod and it did not detect any songs, not even the purchased songs from iTunes.
    There are songs on the iPod Touch only. I can play all the songs from the iPod Touch just fine.
    They are simply just not showing up on iTunes.
    How do I get iTunes to show the songs on my iPod Touch? The capacity bar says there are songs.
    I tried SharePod a few times long before this happened, and it showed the songs on the iPod Touch.
    I don't understand why all of a sudden the songs all disappeared from iTunes itself only.
    (I would say this is similar to other issues where iTunes DOES show songs while the iPod itself DOES NOT. Mine is the opposite.)
    Thank you for the help in advance.

    I tried backing up the iPod Touch.
    Now all the songs on the iPod Touch (except for the purchased ones) are turned to blank names and are skipped.
    There is no name for each song or artwork, they all are called 'unknown'.
    Only the purchased songs are left unharmed. Everything else is corrupted now.
