Itunes only importing half a tune?!

Hi
I'm pretty new to itunes etc and I have an issue which I need help with.
When I import an album from my pc, it only transfers half of some tunes however if you play the same tunes from the original pc file via a standard media player, the same song plays in full. Any idea why it isn't importing the whole file?
Many thanks

I'm not sure your partial track playing is the same thing as I'm getting. For a song that stops short, try "get info", go to the "options" tab, and see if there's a start and stop time difference compared to the actual length of the song. If that's the problem, I'll leave it to the smarter people here to help you fix your entire collection, versus changing one song at a time.
And the error correction that I'm talking about can be found in Edit.. Preferences, Advanced tab, Import tab. Try changing it and see... (I kinda doubt that's the problem, though.)

ITunes only imports half the song+running very slow!

Ok, so I've been reading through these postings and it looks as though many are experiencing the same issues! When I import a song to iTunes only portions of the file are imported, then iTunes skips ahead and downloads the next song. Also, the application runs very slowly and takes a long time to load. Are there any indications that suggest these issues will be resolved with the next update? Does anyone know when to expect the next version of iTunes? Will going to the Apple Store help my cause? I just spent $300 and I want this to work. What should I do? Also, it says I'm running v 6.0.0.18???

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it 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 it re-downloads in the 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

ITunes only imports part of a song

I've tried uploading two cd's today and it begins to import all songs fine.
Then when approx. half the songs are imported, iTunes only imports a few seconds of each remaining song. I can end up with anything from1 second of a song to 2 minutes of a song that should be 4 minutes long.
I've run diagnostics and it passed all the tests, so I don't know what to do now?
ps I have the latest version of iTunes.

It is a bug. Some folks have found that putting the import settings on WAV corrects the problem. After you verify the WAV files are complete, you can convert to your preferred format.
If that does not help and you are tired of fussing with it, rip your CDs in another program, e.g. Windows Media Player, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library.

since there is no info in your profile, which ma model, os, which iTunes you are using, limits anybody from delving deeper into your problem.

Itunes only imports 20 seconds

When I put in a CD to add to music library, itunes only imports about 20 seconds or so of each song (although when you look at the bit that displays the CD info, it lists all the songs properly). I have tried with several CDs. It is driving me mad, please help.

hi Maria!
I don't have a lot of information about your system, so my advice is going to have to be general. see:

Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song

Hi ... i'm really struggling with this problem!
whenever i import a song from a CD, itunes only imports a few seconds of each song and moves onto the next .. so on & so forth. It only take a few second to completely import the entire CD.
However the 'imported' songs don't play ... itunes just whizzes thru all the songs in 2 sec. the time duration for each song is '789:57:13'.
this has occurred a few times in the past but seems to be fixed by a restarting my mac or reloading itunes from the .dmg file. which can be very annoying to say the least!
I need a more long term solution! any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I'm importing from 'factory' CDs .... i've deleted Itunes and reloaded it again and it seems to be ok, but from experience its not gonna last ...... the last time i had to shut down and restart 4 times to get it to work!
Frustrating ....... not to say the least!
Help!

HELP - I cn only import half of the music on Itunes onto my nano!

I am only able to import half of my music onto my ipod nano even though the music has been on the ipod before. Im not sure whats gone wrong! The error message keeps coming up as it is synching to say the music can not be played on this ipod - can anyone help?

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

Downloaded songs from iTunes only plays half way and it cut off

I downloaded an album in the itunes store and the first and last songs only play half way through in itunes and then stop. My iphone sync'd wirelessly and got the complete songs. Any ideas on what happened? Can I redownload them?

To be of any assistance I need more info.
Are they playing normal in iTunes or iPod?
if skipping in iPod, are you listening via the earphone jack or the iPod Docking station?
But if you dont like to share info, perhaps this link may help

Jimmy, What happens when you rip the same CD with a different program on the same computer, such as Windows Media Player?

1. Delete the song from your iTunes library

3. Check and play song- it should play in its entirety now. If not contact support.

Why is itunes only importing a few songs out of many in itunes music folder and then creating a new folder named "music" contianing those few songs?

This problem has come up after installing a new hard disk to replace a failed one. I restored the music just fine but iTunes only recognizes a few of the song tracks and then creates a new folder within iTunes called "music" that contains those few songs. Tried deleting the .itl and .xml files and reimporting via "Add Library Folder" option with similar results.
