Last few seconds of some songs skipping

Under the new iTunes I am hearing the last few seconds of some songs skip or cut off abruptly when playing an album. If I go back to the songs and drag the slider near the end of the song they play fine. I reinstalled Itunes over top of itself but no joy. Has anyone else had this problem?. Thanks for any answers in advance. Allso I am running OSX Mavericks.

nope, not the cross fader. most songs play 100% fine, but i've noticed quite a few which just abruptly end around 30seconds before there supposed to. I origional thought it was a transfer error since I do have USB 1.1, but since the songs play fine off the ipod when using itunes, it can't be

  • ITunes 7 sometimes skips last few seconds of a song

    It seems that whenever iTunes reaches the last 20 or so seconds of a song, it skis to the next song... it just cuts off, even when I have shuffle turned off (I'm loving this gapless feature though). Has this happened to anyone else?

    That's what i figured, so if played with tha for a while to see if that helped, and it still cuts off the last few seconds. I even repaired all 'broken' permissions and still no progress. And it seems to happen sporadicly... has this happened to anyone else?

  • Shuffle cuts off last few seconds of the song

    This morning when playing a playlist on Shuffle/Songs, iPod would cut off the last few seconds (15-30) abruptly and move on to the next track. I changed the shuffle to Album but with the same result. However, now in the afternoon, it is playing ok with the shuffle.
    Has anyone else encountered such behavior? Could it be a bug in the software?

    Hi all, I think I've figured out one solution to this problem. I have a 3rd Gen iPod and was having songs cut off. Random songs at random points near the end of the song. I've read a post here about deleting the artwork from the songs on the iPod, and it worked! Long story short: Use this script from www.dougscripts.com "removeallipodartwork" to delete all artwork from the iPod, not iTunes. iTunes is fine, only the iPod is having trouble with the little bits of artwork information. If you have any doubts, manually delete artwork from just a couple of songs, update your iPod and listen for the cut off (you can fast forward to near the end of the song). Believe me, I've tried everything else for the past 18 months or so. MP3, AAC, different quality, different iTunes versions, different iPod OS, restoring the iPod, I could go on. Hope this helps.

  • When I try to record a song it only records the last few seconds of the song.

    When I try to burn a CD of my song on  garage band, it now only records the last part of the song.  The program is constantly crashing also since I installed Mavericks.

    I mean when I try to burn a CD.

  • Itunes keeps cutting off the last few seconds of each track!

    Help!
    I'm trying to import from a CD, and for some (but not all) of the tracks being imported, when I go to play them from my Library, itunes skips the last few seconds of the song and jumps to the next one. Usually it wouldn't be a problem, because most tracks on CDs have some dead time at the end, but for these you are supposed to go directly from one track to another - without down time in between or skipping any of the track (one song is spread out over several tracks).
    I've tried re-importing the tracks using both the AAC encoder and MP3 encoder, specifying the the track end at a particular time (stop time - this information shows up when I "get info" on the track, under options) and the track length in my library shows up as that exact time from the CD. itunes just doesn't play the full length of the track!
    How do I get itunes to play each track to the very end before jumping to the next one?

    and the track length in my library shows up as that exact time from the CD
    iTunes should play the full track. Did you tick the 'Crossfade playback' checkbox in Preferences>Playback? If so, uncheck it.
    If the problem persists you can check if it's an inporting problem or an iTunes setting problem by doing this:
    In iTunes select a 'problemtrack'.
    Choose 'Show Song File' from the File menu (command-R).
    Select the file and control-click on it.
    Choose 'Open With' and select 'Quicktime Player' as the program to open the file with.
    Now play the 'problemtrack' in Quicktime Player to the end and see if it still skips the last seconds.
    If it plays the full track, your imports are OK.
    Hope this helps.

  • While running how do I get my podcast to play one song and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?

    I recently started running and downloaded the Couch to 5K webcasts, while running how do I get my podcast to play one song in it's entirety and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?  I beleive it's the motion of the running that is causing it, is there a setting I need to change?

    Hello nowrunning,
    Is the "Shake to Shuffle" option turned on in your iPod's settings?  To check, head to Settings -> Music -> Shake to Shuffle and make sure it is set to Off.

  • Skipping last few seconds of random tracks

    Question: why - after 8 months of people having trouble - has Apple not resolved the 'skipping last few seconds of tracks' problem?
    I paid nearly £300 for my iPod Classic, and it's crazy that we have to put up with this situation still. The problem is NOT with the music files, or the iPods, but with iTunes itself.
    I might also add I am not impressed with having my posts deleted when I am trying to 1) help other people with their skipping problems and 2) am having all attempts to communicate our problems to Apple ignored.
    I have been polite about the situation, and do not see why my posts are all of a sudden being deleted almost instantly.
    Regards,
    - John

    "Mugsy, what posts have you had deleted? Have you made more than 13 posts. I looked at your profile, and all of the posts I can remember seeing appear to be there."
    Of course you can't see them, they've been deleted And as you haven't seen them you wouldn't know they'd ever existed. Haha no problemo it's not a big deal. I just find it verging on criminal than Apple still ignore this problem. Not a huge problem as I have my solution which has worked flawlessly, but does involve using another very popular music application and an iPod plug in...
    I do routinely download the latest iTunes updates and run tests using files I know to be good, and - to date - I still get the skipping problems. So I always go back to my 3rd party software.
    Cheers mate,

  • IPod Touch 4G cuts off last few seconds of song.

    My iPod touch cuts of the last few seconds of songs, the longer the song, the more is cut off.  Think "Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace", lists the time as 9:40 in the playlist, but on the "now playing" screen is only 9:35.  No problem in iTunes or my other 3 iPods with the same song.  It's very consistent and always happens at the same place.  "gapless album" setting makes no difference.  I will try re-ripping the album with iTunes to see if that helps, but don't see why it should.

    Resetting "almost" worked - the first time I played the song after resetting it showed 9:40 in the now playing screen, but ultimately it still cut off, and then when I restarted the song it again showed only 9:35.  But thanks for the suggestion.
    I re-ripped the album using iTunes, and it now plays fine.  I am suspecting that the decoder used in the iPod touch is different from other iPods.  Now I've got to go and re-rip all the albums that have the problem <groan>.

  • 30G ipod skips after a few seconds of a song

    I think I posted this question in the wrong forum, so now I'm posting it here.
    About every 10 songs my ipod will play the first few seconds of the song, then skip to the next song. I can "rewind", and the song that skipped will play fine. My daughter's ipod does the same thing.
    Is there a solution to this frustrating problem?
    Thanks for any help you can provide

    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

  • Encore Cutting Off Last Few Seconds of Burn

    I created an avi file in Video Explosion Deluxe, which clocks in at 1:24:33.  I've verified by playing the file on Windows Media Player that it plays fine all the way through to the end.
    I imported it to Encore (I have the 3.0 version) as the only component in this particular project, and burned to DVD, at 7 Mbps, at a speed of 4x, which was the lowest speed option available.
    Everything is fine until almost the end.  It freezes at 1:24:28.
    When I play the file in Encore to preview it before burning, it plays through to the end fine.  So it recognizes the whole file.
    I tried multiple more burns, and they always freeze 4-6 seconds from the end.
    I then took that video file and imported it to Premiere Pro and created a new AVI file of the same thing.  That behaves exactly the same when I burn to DVD with Encore.
    I then started over and created the AVI file anew in Video Explosion Deluxe.  Same result when I burn it to DVD with Encore.
    I then created it as an mpeg file with Video Explosion Deluxe.  Same result.
    I then added a menu in Encore before burning.  (I usually don't bother with a menu if there's just the one item instead of separate chapters.)  Instead of freezing 4-6 seconds before the end, it plays to that point 4-6 seconds from the end and then reverts back to displaying the menu.
    I then checked the last two DVDs I'd burned with Encore and realized that they too end 4-6 seconds before the end of the video file.  (I don't mean of that same project; I mean two different projects with different video files.  I just hadn't examined them closely enough when I burned them.)
    I've experimented with just adding a few blank seconds to the end of the project in Video Explosion Deluxe or Premiere before creating the AVI file, but I haven't been able to make it come out right yet.  For instance, I added ten blank seconds (making it 1:24:43 long, of which I really only want the first 1:24:33), and the subsequent DVD I burned froze at the 1:24:30 mark.
    It's possible through trial and error I'll eventually figure out some way of adding the right amount of blank material to get it to stop at the 1:24:33 mark or just after, but this is silly, especially since it's apparently doing this with every project now and I don't want to be stuck trying to time this workaround just right every time.
    Why won't it simply burn the entire file?

    Appreciate the responses.  On the rare occasions I've posted computer-related questions in online forums, they are nearly always greeted with silence, or the equivalent of "Read the manual and stop bothering us, newbie!"  So it's a pleasant surprise when people actually try to help.
    I've come up with another convoluted workaround that seems like it's actually working.
    I'm making an additional AVI file of the last few seconds of each of the movies on VED.
    So let's say it's a 1:20:00 AVI file that plays fine all the way to the end, but mysteriously when then burned to DVD stops at about the 1:19:55 mark.
    I now have that AVI file, plus a six second file that is a duplicate of the 1:19:54-1:20:00 stretch of the first file.
    I import both to Encore and place the full file on the timeline.  I then chop off precisely the last six seconds of that, meaning it is now 1:19:54 long.  Then I take my other six second AVI file and place it immediately after that back-to-back on the timeline.  I watch that part in Encore before burning to make sure they fit together exactly--i.e., there's not a skip where a frame is missing or a frame is duplicated.
    I've tried it on two, and both DVDs played through to the end as they're supposed to.
    Evidently whatever screws up the last few seconds of the movies made with VED (which, by the way, never happened until the last couple days in all the years I've used VED) isn't affecting these little six or so second long AVI files I'm making to stick on the end.  Maybe it's only files above a certain size or something that it's embedding some kind of mystery flaw near the end.
    I'll be using primarily Premiere for my projects moving forward, so if this is solely a VED issue, I should be fine after this work I happen to be doing now.
    Now, specifically on Hunt's suggestions, I've checked the projects on VED, and the video and audio tracks end at precisely the same frame.
    Especially if my convoluted workaround stops working, I can next try adding that second or so of only video to the project before creating the video and audio files.
    Just in perusing the options in VED, I'm not sure though if it's possible to make a video-only or audio-only file as you describe doing with Premiere.  Is that (not "muxing") something that the more rudimentary video editing programs don't do?  I know with VED I can simply delete all the content on the video tracks, say, or turn them off, but I don't think that gives me an audio-only WAV file.  I believe it just means I'd end up with a conventional AVI file that happens to have a black screen as its video from start to finish.
    So perhaps I could take the AVI file made with VED, place it on the Premiere timeline and there do the trick with the extra second of video.  However, whatever the flaw is seems to be in the VED created AVI files, so I think anything done in Premiere with such a file after the fact would be too late.

  • Multiple Speaker Playback missing last few seconds of Play

    Has anyone noticed that when connected to remote speakers that iTunes skips the last few seconds (usually around three seconds) of the podcast; however when just connected to the "Computer" speakers the podcast plays through entirely.
    Is the problem because the iTunes software closes the sending socket before the remote speaker software picks up the packet from the receiving end?

    Ah! So it's because of the remote speakers, is it? I wondered what was happening. Yes, I've noticed it, although it's a niggle rather than a big problem for me, so I've never bothered mentioning it until now...

  • When I share a video with fcpx and it goes to Quicktime, the last few seconds goes mute. I checked the clip and sent that the same route and all is fine. It is only when I send the whole 3gb video. Any ideas?

  • Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song.  Help.

    I just loaded up my Itunes software, and tried importing some of my CDs into my Itunes library. But it only transfers a few seconds of each song before moving on to the next one.
    Does anyone know how to correct this? I've reinstalled the software once already, but nothing changed.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem on 1 PC but it imports OK on Itunes installed on my laptop.
