I have a nearly identical problem. I can import part of the first track, and for some reason, part of the 6th track and then skips over the rest. It shows the play times as a huge number (somewhere around 667 hours) but imports nothing. I cannot play the CD with iTunes either.
I bought vista home premium and was disappointed to discover it does not come with a x64 bit disk. I used vista 32 bit software and had absolutely no problems with iTunes. After a fresh install of vista for 64 bit iTunes no longer works properly. I can still play anything I transferred from my backup HD but no importing is possible.
I have tried the error correction with no success. I tried installing and running 32 bit iTunes and it gives me an error saying something to the effect of "iTunes is improperly installed. You may need to reinstall iTunes to fix this problem."
I have a hard time believing that this is due to a x64 bit problem as Apple has used this technology longer than most. Is this an issue with the latest iTunes? I am going to fuss with it some more but I'm very frustrated that I can bearly use the new iPod I bought. Any suggestions from Apple users as well as Dark Side (*vista or windows in general :)*) users would be awesome.

Can no longer play or import Sound Studio files into iTunes

I recently updated my iTunes and now I cannot import music files that I created in my Sound Studio program (AIFFs, WAVs, MPEGs, whatever). And none of the Sound Studio files I imported into iTunes previously will play. What's up??? Is there a way to "un-update" iTunes and go back to the previous version?

Nevermind, I just did some more searching on the boards and found this topic from someone who had the exact same problem.

Sorry for the unnecessary post.

My itunes no longer plays music.

My itunes no longer plays music. This is both songs from my library and any songs I select from the itunes store to sample. I can still buy songs and they sync to my ipod but again they will not play on iTunes. I have the latest iMac

Hi there dryval76!
There are a couple of reasons for seeing an issue such as that. I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot and find out the source of the issue. The first is an article about troubleshooting issues with playing songs in iTunes, and it can be found here:

If the issue is happening in all areas of your computer, not just iTunes, then you will want to reference this article:

ITunes will not play/allow import of any audio files

I have iTunes installed via Windows 7. Yesterday, iTunes stopped playing any audio files. I first noticed this problem after streaming music to my apple TV went bonkers. I tunes would play the first 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next one, even though all music played fine through iCloud on my apple TV. Afterwords all audio files just stopped playing with an error. Before this time everything worked fine.
I double click on them or right click on play and nothing happens, period. Of note, almost all the artwork that was associated with the audio files has also disappeared in itunes. I can still play video files with sound through itunes without any problem. I can play all music through quicktime, vlc, etc. without any issue. I can also link to my pc-itunes library and play the same music through iTunes installed on my mac without issue. I can play samples fine through itunes via the itunes store.
I tried I have tried unistalling iTunes, Quicktime, etc. (following Apple's recomendations for unistalling) with subsequent reinstalls now 3 times. I even paid good money for RegCure Pro to clean the registry - still the same problem.
I also cannot import audio files into itunes on my pc now either - dragging and dropping as well as, going through the menu - nothing works!
This has got to be the most frustrating issue that I have had to deal with on a computer!
Please help!

I have now discovered the problem. The hard drive that I was using for iTunes was Dirty; meaning that something was corrupted. As a result I had to copy all file to a temp location and reformat the drive. This solved the problem. Of note, I had formatted the drive the first time using exFAT in hopes of being apple to use if needed with my mac mini.

ITunes won't play or import my burned CD

iTunes won't play or import my burned CD, this CD is not dirty, plays in my car's CD player and I just imported a purchased CD without issue. When I try to import the burned CD (which is one 50 minute track) iTunes imports the track in under a second, but when I try to play it, it flashes in the now playing window for a second before going away. This has never happened before, I just updated iTunes which never seems to do any good, hope someone can help me out!

That is a format compatible with iTunes.
Can you drag the file to the Desktop and then play the tune with QuickTime?

HT4528 After my last sync my iTunes no longer plays any music not purchased in iTunes. Any suggestions?

I did the latest update and synched my iPhone 5C, after the sync all music that was not purchased through iTunes will not play on my phone. I figured out how to "homeshare" those songs but they aren't really on my phone so once wifi is off I no longer have them. Any suggestions? Most of these song were off of cds. I don't want to purchase them all again through iTunes what a waste of money. I'm feeling super annoyed.
Thanks for any help!

ITunes no longer plays any music.

my iTunes that I use at work on Windows no longer plays music. I double click a song and nothing happens. I hit play and nothing happens. Even when I go into the music through iTunes, I double click a demo song and nothing happens.
So I reinstalled iTunes and have the same problem still. So unless anybody has a troubleshoot for this. I'll be looking for another music application to set up my music in.

I'm having a similar problem.
When I click to play some of my purchased songs, it just skips right over it. But, it increases the "Play Count" column value by 1 each time, even though it doesn't play anything.
Of the $50 worth of music that I just bought today, only 2 songs seem to be working. The "Play Count" column is blank for these songs. And I think these are songs that I bought without previewing them first.
Maybe if you buy a song WHILE previewing it, it will cause this bug? /shrug

Itunes no longer plays the first CD track etc. while importing?

Now when I start importing from a CD Itunes no longer starts playing the first track after it has downloaded and the second track begins downloading. I can't see a switch or button that has shut that feature off but Itunes used to play it without being prompted but no longer does. What am I missing?

hs,
Just in case you haven't found the answer to your question in other postings, what works is to open the Terminal (found in Apps>Utilities) and type in : -
defaults write com.apple.iTunes play-songs-while-importing -bool TRUE
Hit return and then close the Terminal. The next time you open iTunes it should play again as you import cds.
I guess it's all part of the "Macs are easier to use" policy of Apple :o)

Music purchased on itunes no longer plays

I recently bought several CDs worth of music for my iPod mini on iTunes and had absolutely no problems at all until the other day, when I discovered that the purchased songs will no longer play. The songs are still displayed as being available for listening. Yet, once selected, the iPod will run through the songs one by one, playing nothing at all. I can, however, listen to these purchased songs through iTunes. What exactly is going on here, and how can I fix it?

Try syncing all the music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then back on.

ITunes no longer plays 3rd-party site music samples (eMusic, etc)

After downloading the latest iTunes upgrade, it no longer plays music samples from sites like eMusic or any independent vendors. Never had a problem before. I would click on a sample icon and the clip would play automatically in iTunes. It's still set as my default internet player, but sound clips are saved to my desktop instead of opening in iTunes now. Any ideas?

There has to be a solution. Isn't anyone else having this problem? I would think it's a big one, because there has to be others like me who only download music from eMusic or third-party sites, never iTunes which is way over-priced. If this problem isn't fixed, adios iTunes.

ITunes no longer plays music

All of the sudden my itunes stopped playing music. When I try to play a song, the song info appears in the menu area but the diamond does not move along the song bar and the little speaker icon by the song title in the playlist does not have lines coming out of it. I downloaded a video from the itunes store and it worked fine, but music files still do not play.
I have tried the solution listed by Apple and it does not help. I have also uninstalled quicktime and installed quicktime standalone and it didn't help either. I've updated windows, itunes, and quicktime. The files work if I use windows media player but some of the purchased songs won't open and have a lock in the corner of the icon.
I've tried the solutions listed in previous posts and nothing seems to work!!! HELP!!!!

No, the song doesn't play if I click on it in itunes and it doesn't work if I go into the music folder and launch it from there. itunes lauches if I try to open the file from the music folder but then it doesn't play. I've tried double clicking, right clicking play, hitting the play button in the menu...nothing works.

After lion upgrade iTunes no longer plays .wav

i had been downloading music from HDtracks onto iTunes with no problems. I was also using Channel D Pure Music as a media player in conjunction with iTunes. After the OS 10 Lion download the media player continues to work but iTunes will no longer play the .wav files. any ideas?

yes. got me too. tried to convert to AIFF and got error (-50). I'm baffled. Gonna try to import from original flac again.

Newbie, Help! iTunes won't play or import random files - no error message

Have a large library of MP3 files created with Real Audio. All played well in Real Audio or Windows Player. I did a complete unintall of Real Audio, installed ITunes, and while it accepts some of the songs(files), it doesn't accept others. It seems utterly random. There are no differences between the files. All are legit. I do not get an error message, but NOTHING happens no matter what method I employ to play or import the song/file. Have compared file attributes via properties and there is no difference. Itunes is the default player, and I have not reinstalled Real Audio. I just listen to the songs on computer while working, but thought I would try Itunes and get an IPod. Not off to a very good start.

I suppose Real Audio was used, though for sometime I used Iomega to store them on zip disks. It has been a long time. For the CD's that I have on hand, I have been doing what you suggested. This is not easy, as the old files were just all together in one file, and while I thought I had changed settings so that iTunes would do the same (after learning that iTunes puts things in lots of different folders - especially confusing for me with soundtracks with different artists)the last one I did was put in folders entitled unknown/unknown with only track numbers. And if I change anything using explorer, I have to find each file for iTunes again. I'm still struggling, not understanding how these mp3 files are different in some way. Some are from the same CD's. At any rate, now that I am (found your term) ripping these CD's again, is there a way to avoid all the folders and layers of folders? Thank you for your patience. Obviously when my daughters were here to help, me being green was not a problem@
