Listening to 1 song in itunes

hi everybody
sometimes i need to listen to a sample of 5 seconds. if i open itunes to do that, he plays that sample, followed by the next marked song (can be another sample of 5 seconds - and another... one after the other). it's no big deal, but it can be annoying. is there an option to open itunes just to play that one sample you want?

iTunes always will advance to next checked song. There is no way known to me to change that behaviour.
There is a script that plays just the selected song, but I don't think it is convenient for 5 sec. samples.
Anyway, here is the link: Just Play This One v2.0

How can I listen to a song from itunes and play along with my guitar on ipad2/apogee jam?

I am trying to utilze my ipad2 for guitar practce but having a hard time getting my technology under control. I have garage band as well as the apogee jam and I can easily hook it in and play, create songs etc. But what I like to do is play along at the same time with songs from my itunes library or from youtube. whenever I switch to another app the recording feed from garage band stops until I return to the app. How do people get around this, if they do?
Thanks

Not at this time. iTunes Match downloads all music listened to on iOS devices. Period.

Audio playback randomly freezes on iPod, skips to next song in iTunes.

When I'm listening to music on my iPod, at a random point in certain songs the audio will suddenly cut out, the play progress bar and time keeper will freeze, and yet the icon indicates that the song is still playing. When listening to those songs through iTunes, at the same points rather than freezing up, it will simply skip to the next song, similar to what it would do if I had edited the options to make the song end sooner than it normally would. I have gone through these songs and checked that option under the "get info" menu and the song end time has not been altered. What has happened to my music, and is there any way to fix it short of whiping out half my library and starting from scratch?

I’ve read reports from many other iTunes users who are having the same issue I am. Please read on...
When listening to songs that I purchased from iTunes (as opposed to those I imported from CD), several, but not all, of them stop playing prematurely several seconds (or even minutes) before the end of the tune. Playback jumps immediately to the beginning of the next tune.
I noticed this, I believe, shortly after moving my iTunes library to a new iMac (3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB memory) running iTunes 10.5.3 (3) on Mac OS 10.7.3. Everything was fine before the move.
Of the 283 purchased songs in my iTunes library, about 100 of them exhibit this behavior. The song playback times at which this happens range from 2:14 to 5:19.
What is interesting, is that tunes from the same album all end at the same playback time! For example, I purchased the whole album “River - The Joni Letters” (Herbie Hancock’s album covering a number of Joni Mitchell tunes). Every song from that album now stops playing at 3:39. The same happens with other tunes that happen to be from the same album, too. I have no idea why this would be the case, but it certainly seems significant.
Another interesting finding, is that if I copy one of tunes exhibiting this issue to the desktop and play it from there, the song plays all the way through to the end without a problem. This would, I think, rule out a corrupt file and tend to point to iTunes itself as the source of the problem.
The problem certainly is annoying, and it would be great if we could find some resolution and get back to enjoying our music without the mind-jarring bump that too often now happens without warning.
Sincerely,
Michael Loomis

I can't listen to at least 100 of my songs on itunes. When I try it gives me a message that it can't play that song because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? What do I do?

When I try to listen to certain songs a message pops up that the original file could not be found. Do you want to locate file? I don't know how this happened and I don't know what to do. I have tried repairing Itunes and also uninstallng and reinstalling. I have restarted my computer and even done some troubleshooting. When I tried hooking my ipod up to my computer to see if that would help I got a message that said "At least 100 songs could not be transferred, including "You found me."" I have no such song in my itunes. Can itunes get a virus?
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do? I'm at a loss and would really like my itunes to be back to normal.

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

When trying to sync or listen to songs in itunes library it says the song on itunes could not be used because the original file could not be found. I am using windows 7.

I have imported cds into my itunes and they appear on my playlist, but when I try to sync to my ipod or listen to them on my computer a message comes up stateing " the songs on itunes could not be used because the original file could not be found". I have not deleted them and am importing them the way I always have. This problem has only been for the last 4 or 5 months. Since updating to the last 2 itunes versions.

The message means that iTunes can not find the original imported music files. iTunes should display a red exclamation mark next to the songs it can not find. You will need to look on your hard drive for the songs/files and than correct the file path in iTunes or just delete the files in your iTunes library and import them again.

It appears from many other posts that the " Keep This iPod in the Source List" function isn't included in iTunes 7 unfortunately. You can leave your feedback on it's absence at this link: Apple Product Feedback
You can check out a workaround at this link which may help out for now: Create ready-to-sync playlists for Shuffles in iTunes 7

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser. Bookmarks, history, addons will not be deleted unless you check to do so on uninstall.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.

#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.

#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.

Cannot listen or purchase songs under new layout of iTunes 9.0

Under the new layout I cannot listen or purchase songs. Also the homepage is basically just blank with only the right column with top songs, albums showing. The bizarre thing is that all comes out fine with the pages that have kept the old layout such as iTunesU or some iMix (was even able to download a song). Any help to fix this? Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem and saw this in a previous thread -
1. restored system to yesterday (before I'd attempted the whole update fiasco)
2. backup itunes library
3. used revo uninstaller for a complete uninstall
4. restart
5. run clean install off new installer download (even though logged in as admin, I also used the right click "run as Admin" option for good measure)
And voila upgrade
Yes, it's a pain, but it did work. My best guess is that something was corrupted during the first failed update attempt, which resulted in an incomplete uninstall, thus screwing up the clean install. But that's just speculation...
I want to do this with mine but don’t know how to “restore system to yesterday”? let me know if you find out how?

To listen a 30 sec song on ITunes

Hi,
I have updated the new version of ITunes (for Mac).
When I want to listen a part of a song (30 secs) in the store it is a lot longer to download it than with the last version of ITunes
I have a message in French "mise en memoire tampon en cours"
and it take 5 to 7 secs to download the 30 secs free listening of the song.
The download was a lot quicker with the old version.
What can I do to speed this download??
Thanks in advance for your help!
Geo

Hi again!
Could somebody help me on the below post message?

HT1349 some songs on msome songs on my itunes library were bought with an old email address. I hy itunes library were bought with an old email address. I have since cancelled said email address. I would like to know how to listen to these songs again. Tha

Hello. Certain songs in my itunes library were purchased a few years ago with a now discontinued email address. I am not able to listen to them any longer because I have update my itunes library, and purchased songs from itunes with my current email address. Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you.

I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.
