Itunes isnt playing songs correctly?

i just downloaded the newest version of itunes, but now itunes is messing up when it plays my songs. like, it will skip just like a scratched CD. it also seems like its playing faster. at first, it only happened every once in a while, but now, it happens a few times every song. does anyone know why this is happening and what i can do to fix it? thanks!
  Windows XP  

Mine is doing the same thing... I hadn't noticed this problem until today. Even my 6 y/o son was commenting that it wasn't playing correctly. I did not have this problem until I upgraded to the lastest version of iTunes. (Which I was forced to do because my other DS got a nano for Chirstmas and the old version wouldn't recognize the new ipod...)
Anyway, I look forward to hearing other responses regarding this problem. Something tells me there is going to be a patch needed of some sort...

  • ITunes not playing songs correctly!!!! PLEASE HELP

    Very recently, iTunes decides to turn evil on me by making all the songs I play on there scratchy and un-listenable. While I can still use my other media players such as winamp, the music runs fine, but when I play it on iTunes its still scratchy. Please help!

    I have had this problem for a few weeks...Itunes pauses when it is playing a song, starts playing the song again and a few seconds later does the same thing.
    What could be going on?

  • Why is my Justice radio station on iTunes never play songs of Justice?

    Why is my Justice radio station on iTunes never play songs of Justice?

    Most likely because Apple did not get a license to do so.

  • ITunes Not Playing songs in library

    Help!! In iTunes all the songs listed under the category of "playlists" will not play. I keep clicking on the play icon and nothing happens. BUT, if I go to the "music" category under "Library", I can click on any item and it will play just fine.
    I have reinstalled iTunes and tried several other hints from the FAQ section of the support for iTunes page. Anyone have any ideas?

    Have you moved your music around? Sounds like it's been moved and is not where iTunes expects to find it.

  • Itunes not playing songs properly

    Itunes is playing SOME (not all) songs halfway, then skips to the next track. Some songs are missing entirely (they're listed, but when clicked doesn't play at all). Some songs is half of the right song, then is mixed with another song from another artist.
    This happened before I updated to the new Itunes, did the update but still the problem persists.
    Anyone know how I can fix this?

    I have the exactly same problem. iTunes corrupted my entire library, 20GB of MP3s, all of them play a few seconds and then go back to the beggining. Using a sound editor I can see that it actually copied the first seconds of all songs and added it to the beggining. The number of seconds is not consistent on all the MP3s, some play 2 seconds and then go back to the beggining while others can play over 12 seconds before going back to the beggining. This happened after I noticed some of my older MP3s had an old version of the ID3Tags, so I used iTunes to convert my entire library's ID3Tag to the newer version. This happened about 2 years ago and I had no backup of my original files. The only fix to this problem I've found until now is to manually remove this extra seconds from the beggining of each MP3, but it's impossible to do that with over 5000 songs.

  • ITunes ONLY playing songs from last CD import

    What the heck is going on? I am running iTunes 8.1 on my iMac with Leopard 10.5.6 It has been working just fine until this past Sunday morning (2 days ago). My wife bought 5 CDs at a concert. I ripped them into my iTunes, and now, no matter what song I select to start playing in iTunes, out of a selection of over 9,000 songs, iTunes ONLY plays the songs from those 5 CDs that I ripped & imported into iTunes 2 days ago. HOW DO I REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? THIS IS BEYOND ANNOYING!
    ANY helpful input will obviously be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    The CDs all imported to the same place as the rest of my iTunes library. Yes, I DO have the "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" feature enabled. This issue has me baffled. It's SO weird!

  • ITunes question - playing songs & 'jumping'

    Well, as we all know, when iTunes begins playing a new song, it 'jumps' to the track, interrupting whatever it was that you had been doing beforehand.
    Now, personally, I like iTunes to record my plays of a song, so I normally just deal with it; but I'm getting tired of iTunes' jumping. Is there a way to turn this off? I've checked around, but haven't seen it brought up.
    Thank you :]

    Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
    What I do when I want to look at tags or artwork etc, but still listen to songs and not get interrupted with that:
    Listen to the music I want from within a playlist and browse the main library while that playlist is playing.
    For example, I have a smart playlist called !unlistened. So if I want to listen to tracks I've DL'd and not heard yet, I start that playing. Then I can go look at podcast, the store, my main library or whatever and the songs keep playing and iTunes doesn't lose the focus of what I'm looking at.
    Or else I have a static playlist called "Now Playing" and I drag a whole album into it, for albums I like to listen to all the way through. Then I can just delete the songs in that playlist (NOT delete fromt he main library!) and put a new labum in it when I'm ready.

  • Can not get ituns to play songs contiuously tried everything I can think of

    How do I get Itunes to play continuous?
    Was working fine but since last up grade can not get it to play continuously.

    Apps that you download from the iTunes app store only work on iOS devices i.e. an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch (and some apps don't work on all three) - they can't be used on a PC or Mac.

  • ITunes stops playing songs/podcasts/etc whenever I move my mouse.

    I have no idea why this happens but its really aggrivating.

    when I move my mouse Itunes stops playing music. Sometimes this happens immediatly and sometime it take 10 to 15 sec.
    At various stages over the years, mouse-related iTunes trouble has been associated with driver conflicts. So it might be worth following up on that possibility.
    Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of PC, and check to make sure you're not behind on any chipset and input-device-related driver updates. (And while there, just in case, also check to make sure your BIOS, sound-card/integrated audio, and video-card/display-adaptors are up to date.)
    If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that help with the mouse-related iTunes issues?

  • Weird iTunes Match issue - song correct on computer and iPhone, wrong on iPad

    I hope someone can help.
    I use iTunes Match for my mobile devices, with my main home PC being the golden source/reference.
    Most songs work fine on my computer, iPhone 4S and iPad3 using iTunes Match ... however a few songs are incorrect on the iPad.
    For example, Kelly Clarkson "Breakaway" is plays correctly on computer and iPhone, but a completely different Kelly Clarkson song plays on the iPad (a song we don't even own!).
    Troubleshooting ...
    a) on iTunes on my computer, iTunes match is up to date and the 'problem' songs are listed as "Matched" in the iCloud Status column.
    b) on the iPad, I've tried turning off iTunes match, then re-enabling iTunes match - same issue occurs - the Kelly Clarkson songs show up, but the 'wrong' song plays
    c) I've tried restarting the iPad ... no change.
    I've read other threads with similar issues - they say contact support - but my systems are out of full warranty and there doesn't seem to be a way of contacting support without paying.
    Does anyone have any suggestions ?

    Hi - thanks for the response.
    A couple of points/questions
    1) I did further debug by deleting the song from my computer (leaving the song in iCloud) - then downloading from iCloud .... the song labeled Kelly Clarkson 'Breakaway' in iCloud is not the correct song .... this isn't coming from my system, as the song was 'Matched', not 'uploaded'.
    2) I rechecked my iPhone ... the Kelly Clarkson song 'Breakaway' which plays correctly is stored locally on the phone ... it's not coming from iCloud/Match.
    3) You mention removing "Music" from the iPad .... how is that possible? I can remove apps that I've downloaded, but don't know how to remove 'native' apps (like safari, music etc.). Also - based on my further troubleshooting, this clearly isn't an iPad issue any more ... it's an error with Apple iTunes Match catalog.
    Any ideas on how to contact Apple (without me paying!) to have this resolved?

  • Partial solution for iTunes not playing songs or playing partial songs

    Like a lot of other people, my iTunes (latest version 6.0.3.5 as well as previous versions), would refuse to play certain songs, or, would play only the first X seconds of a song.
    I had been thinking all along that the song was encoded correctly and now iTunes would not play it.
    Well it turns out that the iPod will not play it either, meaning that PLAYBACK was not the issue, but ENCODING.
    I have another computer on our home network...I encoded a CD with that computer (same version of iTunes), then transfered the files to the "broken" computer...with the newly encoded files from the other computer, the "broken" computer plays the songs perfectly.
    So anyway, the problem is with ENCODING, not PLAYBACK.
    Now I have to go back and re-encode about 30 CD's...the number of CD's I've encoded on the broken computer since the no-playback/partial-palyback issue first surfaced.
    We all still have a big problem here in figuring how to get the broken computers to encode correctly.
    Hope this helps.

    You might check and see what codecs are installed on your PC...

    Audio Codecs > Properties

  • Ipod touch 5th gen will not play songs correctly

    So I got a new ipod touch 5th gen for christmas.  When I put songs into a playlist and play them they dont always play in the correct order, or sometimes they dont play at all.  I had no problems with it the first week I had it but then all of a sudden it didnt play the music correctly.  It will skip one song and then play another song a second time in place of it.   Then sometimes it will randomly skip the last bit of a song and go to a different one but when I go in and look at the songs being played it says its still playing the song that it decided to skip.  It also will play the songs in a different order than what I put them in along with the previous problems listed ocurring.  Please let me know if theres anything I can do to fix this or if I should send it in to apple or maybe even take it back and exchange it for a different one.  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!!

    - See:       
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with bad cables.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Itunes not playing songs in order

    Hi,
    Ever since upgrading to 11.0 iTunes won't play an album. I doubleclick to play the first track of either an album or in a playlist and then after the song is done it doesn't move on to the next song. I have to go back and doubleclick again. Also, clicking the "next" button doesn't work either, it just stops the song. The shuffle is not on neither is the repeat icon.
    Is this a bug that needs to be fixed? Because at this moment I cannot listen to an album in sequence on my computer and that seems like pretty standard stuff that a media player should be able to do.
    When in my Music library, I click on a song and then click next and it takes me way down the alphabet, it will play that whole song and then it will go to another track further down my library. And then back up again to the second song it went to and then just loop between these 4 albums. I have 50 GB of songs in my library so howcome it's jumping bewteen only 4 of them??

    Have you tried checking all the songs you wish to play? Normally the collumn for placing a check is the first on the left. This worked for me.
