Itunes radio doesn't play whole song

Hi,
I'm new to iTunes, so if this is a stupid question please excuse me.
I'm using iTunes radio and I"m noticing that many of the songs are not being played completely. Is this normal?
Thanks,
James

Hi KungFusion,
I tried playing several streams from the posted website, and all 'wanted' to be played within Safari using a Windows Media Player plug-in. I could not get them to play in iTunes. It may be that you will have to download and use Windows Media Player for Mac. If you want to hear them thru Airport and the Airport Express, you will need to use an application called Airfoil http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/airfoil.html. Hope this is helpful. Check the Airport Express discussions also for help.

  • What can I do when iTunes radio does not play a song?

    This is what I'm seeing in iTunes 11.1.2.32 Windows (Win7 x64): Sometimes, iTunes radio will show the next song to play, but the bar is in barberpole like formation (i.e. it seems to be downloading/streaming) but it does nothing. It'll sit like this forever if I let it. To my knowledge this happens 100% after a commercial, and sometimes after songs. I could hit the next button, but I also understand that this takes away one of my skip options-- which means I'll run out of options. What are the options, and is this a bug?

    Never mind, it had something to do with conflicting sound enhancements. Weird, but okay.

  • ITunes radio doesn't play songs by artists added to any of my stations

    This is a clarification of an earlier question.
    So you can create a station with a "seed" which can be an artist, song or genre. Once itunes creates that station you can modify the station with the available "more like this", or "Never again" buttons, but there is also an option in the desktop version below the stations  where you are offered a "play more like this" > "Add artist, song or genre" and itunes is happy to let you fill in any artist and it shows you possible matches from which you can select. That artist is then shown below your original seed in a list for that station. However, itunes has never played any songs by any of the artists I've added to the station via this method even though they are there in plain site as "seeds" for this station. I always have to create a whole new station with the desired artists to get any songs by them. I've had these new artists seeded/listed for months without any songs played by them on the station. Why create this option if it is never functional? What am I missing?

    just for clarification this is about Itunes radio and the stations you can create in it.

  • HT5848 iTunes Radio no longer plays any songs. Just skips repeatedly.

    I changed my Apple ID password and now my iTunes Radio does not work in any of my Apple devices.
    I have a MacBook, iPad, and iPhone and iTunes Radio used to work great on all of them before I decided to change my password.
    Now, whichever stations I choose to play, it just keeps skipping songs after songs for very long time and it doesn't try to even play a song.
    In fact, it slows down my iPad Air and iPhone 5S as it continues to skips songs in the background by the way the icons' animates.
    I have to close the music app from the multitasking to get it back from the slowness.
    This also happens with the feature stations on the top, but it can only play the ads.
    I am an iTunes Match subscriber, so I do not get ad on my regular stations.
    I tried to use my Aple ID in my sister's iPad and it does the same thing. It still skips for so long without any playing any songs.
    However, if I put my sister's Apple ID to my devices, iTunes Radio works fine.
    I think it has to do with my Apple ID and it is frustrating that I cannot use part of the service I paid for.
    I hope someone here can give an insight with what I am having trouble with. Thanks.

    HI David - I actually had started another post on this same topic, and it was suggested there to 'update' all of your iTunes informatIon, although you don't really have anything,to change.  This seemed to work for a short time for me, and then the skipping started again.  I then had skip free radio for like a week, and then it started again yesterday.  Today, I'm listening without issue.  And yes, I use Cox too.  I messaged them on FB, to which they sent me an article on an App Store outage that happened a few weeks ago, as well as a link to Apple on how to turn off the shake feature so to skip a song.  I told them neither of those applied to my issue, and they told me to call Customer Serice and I just didn't have time for that.  So I just let it come and go, but I'm convinced it's more of an ISP/Cox issue.

  • ITunes Radio doesn't play

    I have never been able to get any of my radio stations to play through iTunes?
    I will click on a station and receive a message saying "getting playlist" but then nothing. I am working at work behind a firewall so I was wondering if that had anything to do with it. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas why this is happening. Thanks.

  • Itunes radio doesn't play anymore

    I can log-on  and acess my stations, but when I click the play button it just seems to freeze at loading, and I just get a 'candy-cane' striped bar underneath the song title. Any help?

  • HT204406 I have purchased match but when i try to play a song from the cloud on my ipad it displays a message of " cannot connect to iTunes Store" and doesn't play the song. i have reset both devices.

    I have purchased match but when i try to play a song from the cloud on my ipad it displays a message of " cannot connect to iTunes Store" and doesn't play the song. i have rest both devices.

    I called Apple Support and they walked me through it. They told me to basically copy and paste my music to the external hard drive. (I think.) Or maybe it was they had me transfer a folder to the EHD. I don't exactally remember it was a few years back. But I tried to plug in the EHD before starting and...nothing. Still says same thing, "locate file."

  • TS5181 My iTunes Radio doesn't show song name please help

    My iTunes Radio doesn't show  song name what can I do

    I suspect that the encoding of the Korean in the stream is not Unicode, which is what iTunes requires. iTunes cannot fix such things by itself.

  • IPod mini doesn't play ANY songs!!! Please Help

    My iPod mini doesn't play any songs. It doesn't play purchased music from the iTunes Music Store, ripped CDs, or ANYTHING. On the iPod I go to play a song but the music time counter remains on 0:00. When it does this faint sounds of the song trying to start can be heard, but then a lot of static comes up. A song did start once but it stoped at 7 seconds. I've tried the 5 Rs and everything I can think of! Please Help!

  • ITunes Radio/Music Randomly Playing on My iPhone 5 with iOS7

    Hello,
    I apparently do not understand how iTunes Radio/Music operates as I am noticing what I think is strange behavior on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.  I am noticing that under "artists" in the music app there are suddenly 49 songs that are appearing that I did not download to my iPhone and I can never seem to really get rid of them. There will be times when I wake up my iPhone and presented with one of these songs playing making it appear as if music has been running constantly in the background.  Other times, I will just get my normal lockscreen.  Our others experiencing this?  I have also noticed that the songs that are showing
    I have started listing to iTumes Radio as well but I don;t think the music that is playing is actually iTunes radio but instead these 49 songs that randomly synced to my iPhone without my knowledge.  I would like to delete them and stop having songs randomly appear at times when I wake up my phone.  Also, I do not subscribe to iTunes Match.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I'm having the same trouble.  Sometimes restarting both the mac and the iDevice will help, but not always.
    I restarted in OS X Recovery System mode and rand the Disk Utility and dozens of permissions problems were discovered!  THe trouble is Disk Utility can not seem to fix them and when I reinstalled iTunes 11.1.1 from the Apple site there was no improvement.
    My music library is close to 400gb and I get VERY nervous updating or working on iTunes for fear of losing something.  Most is on CD somewhere though there is not time enough in this life to to re-rip everything.
    What is worse is I just bought Capo 3 and when I drag my songs from iTunes to Capo 3 it says all my files are bad.  It does work if I move the songs directly from the iTunes folder under Music.

  • After loading the new OS now my songs do not play correctly. Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn't play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What's up? Kind of frustrating!!!

    After loading the new OS my songs do not play correctly, is anyone else having this issue? Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn’t play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What’s up? Kind of frustrating!!!

    I had the same issue.  In fact I posted it yesterday, but didn't get any replies.  I physically synched my phone to PC iTunes.  on the PC, under the phone/music tab, I unchecked the synch music box and then the apply button to remove all of the music from my phone.  Then once that synch finished, I went back and selected all music, and synch music and apply to put it back on to the phone.  So far, I haven't had an issue again, but I also haven't listened very long.  Hope this helps!

    Now it's Wednesday (2 days since I originally posted) & my iPhone appears to have finally restored all my apps, but it still says it's restoring from iCloud backup.  If all my apps are restored, what else could it be restoring?  IS it actually restoring anything at this point, or is it still in 'glitch' mode???  I've tried turning it off & back on & it continues to say that it's restoring.
