ITunes purchased track has extra silence! How to fix?

My iTunes purchased track "Cay's Cray's (Artificial Intelligence Remix)" has an additional 15 seconds of silence that I believe is not found in the retail version, and I think this may affect the flow of my playlists and mixes.
How might this be fixed or compensated for using available iTunes or Windows tools, as I am unfamiliar with editing rights-managed AAC files?

Hi, c13.
... as I am unfamiliar with editing rights-managed AAC files?
Your options are limited.
Without editing the file, you might find the Start/Stop Time feature in iTunes helpful - right-click the track > Get Info > Options tab and set the appropriate times.
If you want to actually edit it, you may find b noir's User Tip helpful but only after you have the file in a more "editing-friendly" format . Note that the song will lose audio fidelity in each of the various conversion steps it goes through.
Finally, if you think the 15 seconds of silence is there by mistake, you can report it to Apple by looking at the A purchased song sounds bad section of this Support page .

  • Purchased track has a part of another track

    The purchased track has a part of the next track at the end, a second or so. As it is rather annoying, I'd like to erase the end. What programme should I use? And will the track play normally in iTunes library after that?

    FIrst you can set iTUnes to ...Ignore I guess you could call it..The last second of the track. Play the track near the end, take note of the time the one song ends. Now rightclick the song, hit "Get Info" and hit "Options" tab. Type in the time in the "Stop Time" field and put a check mark beside it. Now iTUnes will stop before the next "Blended in" track begins, also your ipod will too.
    Secondly I suggest Emailing the music store about this so they can fix it on there side. you can goto the link below, roll to the bottom of the page and fill out the Email form.

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

    Hi gingerjacker,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Did you restart your Mac and try again?  Sounds simple, but it's a good first step when troubleshooting.
    If the issue persists you may need to delete iTunes from the Applications folder and download a fresh copy.  This does not affect your iTunes library, which is in a different location.

  • My ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but won't run anything that uses it like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

    Can anyone help me? my  ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but it won't run anything that uses wifi like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

    You didn't indicate if it ever worked.  If it NEVER did, the problem could be caused by a firewall in the router.  For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
    You will need administrative access to the router.  If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again.  If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again.  Repeat as required.
