Modifying a CD track's stop time affects other tracks on the disc

Previous topic locked. Bug still present with iTunes 7.3.
<hr>
I've reported this same bug via the feedback form for a number of versions of iTunes, I believe going back to version 3 or 4, but here it is again for the pile.
Setting a custom stop time for an individual track on a CD (track -> Get Info -> Options -> Stop Time) affects other tracks on the CD in addition to the one being modified.
For example, if you set one track to end at 2:30, ALL tracks prior to and including that track will now end at 2:30. If one of those tracks is actually 2:10 long, it will play in its entirety and the track immediately following will play for 20 seconds before it ends and goes on to the next track. Tracks after the modified track are unaffected (unless the track being edited is the last track on the CD, in which case ALL tracks on the CD are affected).
I would like to set stop times before ripping CDs to remove dead space commonly added to pad out "hidden" tracks, but this long (long, long, long) standing bug makes this nearly impossible.

Adjusting start and stop times is a feature for
playback of files in iTunes, not for CD ripping. Even
if the program allows you to modify these values for
an audio CD prior to importing it, it still is not a
reliable way of ripping a CD.
Yes, but there's a difference between "may not be frame-accurate when playing/ripping" and "will radically affect tracks other than the one edited when playing/ripping".
Instead of using your current work process, why not
just rip the CD in a lossless format such as Apple
Lossless, then adjust the start/stop times of the
desired tracks in iTunes and convert the files to
another format. There will be no loss in sound
quality in this case, and your problem should be
solved.
I could also buy Fission to losslessly edit the ripped mp3. But for such a basic task (that worked from SoundJam through at least iTunes 3) it would be nice to handle it during the rip instead of going through multiple steps (currently, I rip all tracks but the one that needs editing, then change the start/stop times for that one and rip it on its own).
I ended up filing a bug report, which is what I should have done originally.

ITunes won't let me edit stop time on a particular song, will let me edit stop time on other songs

Recently I was given a bunch of digital music on hard drive. One of the songs on the hard drive has a time of around 8 minutes and a file size of around 11 mb. The song plays perfectly fine if I preview it off of the hard drive. When the song is imported into iTunes the time drops to 8 seconds but the file remains the same size as before. I've tried to edit the stop time of the song to reflect what it should be but will not apply the changes that I've made. I've been able to edit the stop/start times of other songs from the same import. Any ideas as to how to deal with this?

I didn't have precisely this issue, but one similar. What fixed it (and I don't know why I tried it) was to have iTunes convert the song (from m4a to mp3 in my case), and iTunes corrected the time.
Good luck

How to stop execution in while loop without stopping execution of other loops in the same vi

HI
I am quite a novice in Labview.
I have a problem in my project. I used a while loop inside my vi to build an array of ten values along with other loops. Then I used a stop button to stop manually the while loop. But it seems like the loop doesn't stop in the middle of the array building and so other loops in the vi doesn't work until the while loop finishes building the array and as soon as while loop execution is over, the complete vi stops. But all that I wanted was to build the array using the shift register along with the control to stop building array anytime. And not to stop execution of other structures when the while loop finishes.
Can anyone help me?
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Modified ur Vi to work with single button.
But the subtract case is not in any loop.
So, once both the loops stop, the subtract case will execute only once. Depending on state of subtaract boolean at that time, corresponding case will be executed and the Vi will stop.
so think of a logic where u can put this also in a new loop.
Or you can also incorporate it in one of the two loops and pass the other loop's data to it.
Let us know how you will proceed in this regard
I am posting your VI as well a VI with my modifications VI in Labview 7.0 so that Thomas can give his suggestions too
Plus, always keep a time delay in your while loops.
Oh sorry, the "arrayinouttestnewfinal.vi" is the modified vi
Regards
Dev

All that does is delete the iCloud account on your phone, nothing more.

How do I find and clear all ticked Stop Times in music tracks?

I have lots of music tracks which have the Stop Time ticked under the Options tab in Get Info. I don't know why they are ticked as I didn't do it, but now I want to clear them all as it causes tunes to stop abruptly in playback. I've looked for a script that would do this, but no luck. If there's no available script, perhaps if I could at least find all of the songs with Stop Time ticked, that would be a start. Does anyone either know of a way to clear all ticked Stop Times, or at least create a playlist of all songs with Stop Time ticked? If anyone knows why Stop Time gets ticked for some songs and not others, that would also be useful information. Thanks in advance.

barney97,
Maybe this script in can be of help:
tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then
set sel to selection
repeat with this_track in selection
try
set finish of this_track to 1000
end try
end repeat
display dialog "Done!" buttons {"Thanks"} default button 1 giving up after 5
end if
end tell
Replace the "1000" with the number of seconds of your longest track, compile and run the script. The script tries to set the Stop Time to 1000 seconds. If your tracks are shorter in duration, the Stop times just will be cleared.
Run Script Editor (in ./Applications/Applescript) and copy the script (grey block above) to it.
Click the 'Compile' button and save it as a script in ./Library/iTunes/Scripts.
It will then appear in the Script menu in iTunes.
Next, select all tracks in your Music Library (Command-A) and run the script.
It's not a very elegant solution, but it works.
If anyone knows why Stop Time gets ticked for some songs and not others, that would also be useful information.
I can't tell you that. I've never experienced a phenomenon like that.
Maybe some iTunes related Widget or iTunes supporting application is responsible for that.
Hope this helps.

Track start & stop times

Hi
New to this forum, so be gentle. I have edited stop and start times of varous tracks via the get info > options menu. Is there any way of getting itunes to show the edited track times without burning to cd and re-importing? appologies is this has already been covered

yes you can, although the technique amounts to creating a completely new second song file containing just the music between the start and the stop times you set. see the following user tip:

Hidden track at negative time before first track on CD

... any help as to how I can import this bugger into itunes? It doesn't show up on any track list, and will only play (on a CD player) if you 'rewind' to -2:49 before start of first track.
Thanks much for any tips or insight.

I'm using iTunes 7.0.2 on a 2x2.7GHz PowerMac (10.4.8). I have not seen this problem.
I see a somewhat different problem: if I set Stop Time in the Get Info panel for a specific song in a playlist, the song stops as expected, and others play for their "natural" length. However, if I burn the playlist, the Stop Time does not seem to be honored on the CD (verified on both the PowerMac and a CoreDuo 2.16 GHz MacBook Pro). Other tracks are unaffected.
Any thoughts on this one?

Bug when i open a new track it is picking up other tracks

when I open a new audio track (input on Instrument 1 for electric guitar), when i go to record I hear other tracks...like a shaker, etc. Also, Even though I have tracks that have only a bar or two region showing I am hearing them as if they are on loop the entire song.

Sorry...first time posting.
I am using a MacBook Air OSX 18.8.4, 2 GHz Intel Core i7.
I am running Logic Pro 9.1.8.
My interface is a Duet 2.
I have been having several strange things lately while recording that have never happened in the 6 months I have been using Logic.
One of the main recurring issues is this. I may have a song with 15 tracks. I will SOLO a track but, instead of hearing only that track I will hear a couple of other random tracks as well.
Concurrently, I will have tracks that have obviously viable audio regions in them (you can look at the waveforms), but when you solo there will be no audio or you will hear another track.
Today the issue I posted about was this. After transferring all the audio tracks from a former project to a newly opened project due to the issues above, I added a new instrurment track. As soon as I hit RECORD to play, I hear what sounds like a midi-triggered, ghosted audio as if it were from my drum track. I can hear the guitar I am playing but the other sound is there as well. It is not only audible during recording but during playback also.
I hope it is user error as you suggest, but it is strange this has all started happening (for the first time) in the last couple of days.
Thanks for any help.

Write-back dimensions and how do they affect other users of the cube?

If write-back is enabled on a cell or dimension and a value is changed, will it affect other users of that data as well?
When the cube is rebuilt will those new values/updates be overwritten?

Hi Shifrbit,
Writeback is implemented as ROLAP partition. Analysis Services creates a table in relational database where it stores writeback data. User do not need to worry about the mechanism Analysis Server is using to store writeback data. You can re-process your
cube without concern of loosing data. Writeback will not disappear after process the cube. For the detail information about it, please refer to the link below to see
Affect of Cube Changes section.

Time Machine won't mount the disc on my Time Capsule

So here's the deal, I've got a Time Capsule which is connected to my Macbook, But everytime I try to back it up, it won't mount the disc. I've tried restarting it (but not resetting). It's not completely dead; it does deliver Internet (quite well actually, as my house router has crapped out twice and my Time Capsule is still pumping out Internet). Any help/advice?

Welcome to the discussions!
Try the following steps to see if that will get things going.
Open System Preferences and open Sharing. Make sure that your computer name appears correctly.
Open AirPort Utility and click on Manual Setup. Click the Time Capsule tab below the icons. Make sure that your Time Capsule name appears correctly.
Also while in AirPort Utility, click the Disks icon, then click the File Sharing tab just below. Make sure there is a check mark next to "Enable File Sharing"
Click in an open area of your desktop to show the Finder menus at the top of the screen. Click on Finder and then click on Preferences and then the General tab. Under the heading of "show these items on the desktop", make sure there is a check mark next to "Connected Servers"
Power down the Time Capsule and wait a few moments, then power it back up.
Now click System Preferences and Time Machine. Choose Change Disk and click your Time Capsule to highlight it and then click Use For Backups.
If this is your first backup, the process will go much faster and reliably if you attach an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the Time Capsule to your computer. Subsequent backups can be wireless since they will be much smaller.

I have a clock VI that I attached to several other VIs to keep track of running times but for some reason the clock stops at 24 minutes. Why?

I got this VI form a member of the forum. He used it for the same reason so I figured that it worked. I can't seem to fine the reason that it stops at 24 minutes. Could it been something on my computer stopping it. But I have run this VI on several PCs and got the same results.

CLOCK.vi ‏40 KB

I am not sure what the VI is supposed to be doing. It seems like it will keep track of time it takes to execute x (=3600xNumeric+1) numbers of iterations. How long it takes depends on the system. If the VI runs slower on a particular system, it will take longer to execute the same number of loop iterations than on another station. For example, on my machine it took 6 min to execute the VI with Numeric=1. Another factor is the wait time set in the loop to =100. I don't see anywhere this taken into the consideration.
I am sending you another VI that counts the time from the start of execution until the Stop button is pressed. Of course, you can replace the Stop button with a condition that suites your needs.
Hope this helps.

Itunes freezes on Win7 when i go to edit/preferences. i have changed nothing, started 2 days ago. Does not affect other users with the same apple ID. After it freezes i close it via task manager

i'm supposed to type in here??
I have a computer with itunes on it. Worked fine until i tried to switch users and have the music shared, that feature used to work great. Doesn't share, although sharing is turned on, and works well except if you wanna change preferences it freezes. Upon closing there are up to 7 distinct hangtime codes. Apple doesnt recognize these codes - and have not replied to other questions concerning similar problems. Any help or ideas would be welcome. Removing my library or preferences did nothing, so I am reinstalling all this crap. Please help! I just want to be able to see my preferences.

You are not addressing Apple here.

I want to download Firefox, but NOT have it as default browser, and not affect other users on the computer - is this possible?

I want to install Firefox, and be able to use it on demand, whilst retaining Internet Explorer as default browser. Will I be able to use either browser as and when I wish?
Thanks, and sorry for being stupid!

Hi Tony,
Thanks a lot - I thought that was the case, but needed to check!
Will McAfee security talk to Firefox ok? Site Advisor etc?

In iTunes, is there any way to play one song at at time and have the song stop at its end. I want to play guitar with a track and have that track stop playing rather than going to the next song.

I want to play a single song in iTunes on my ipad and have the track stop when the song finishes, rather than itunes playing the next track. I play guitar with the track and need iTunes to stop at the end of the song.
I have worked around this issue by creating a separate play list for each song, then inserting the song into the play list. I would like to find a more straight forward solution that would eliminate this extra step. On my PC, I use QuickTime to bring up an individual song and then can play one track at a time.
Thanks!

On the IPod if the shuffle icon is colored blue it is ON, if it is colored white it is OFF. This control is global, if it is ON any album or list will be shuffled.
