Music Start/Stop Times with iTunes Match causes iOS Music App to glitch

I set Start Time and Stop Time values for my music in iTunes to crop off non-music parts of tracks, but the Start/Stop Times cause the iOS Music app to glitch out when the track streams via iTunes Match. If a track has a Start Time set, the track will get stuck, and repeat the first fraction of a second of the track over and over, seemingly for the amount of the Start Time. And if the Stop Time is set, the NEXT track will glitch out. For example, if a track has a Start Time of 0:10, the track will glitch out for at least 10 seconds before the track actually starts playing. Sometimes the track never stops advances beyond 0:00.
I think the problem caused by the fact that iTunes Match is streaming the entire track so the Music app just freaks out for the duration of the Start/Stop Times.
Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a workaround?
For now, I've just been searching my 22,000 song library for tracks with Start/Stop Times and exporting new hard-cropped files, but this is tedious, takes up hard drive space, and degrades the audio with lossy-to-lossy double-compression.

I'm having the exact same problem and from my research I believe that the old process of being able to turn ITM off, sync your music to your iPad, and then turn ITM back on no longer work.  You are correct that going through this process wipes out your music.  It's only on IOS 6.0 on my Gen 3 ipad because on my gen 1 iPad, I can't upgrade to IOS 6.0 and the old process still works fine under IOS 5.0. 
In order to get around this I created a massive playlist (a superset of all my other playists) that I downloaded by using the download button in order to get local copies of my music on my ipad 3.0. 
It seems to be working for now but I can't force my ipad to keep all that music local anymore.  If I download other music or movies in the future (and become low on space) Apple makes the decision about what to remove from my local copy in order to fit the new content on the device.

  • Very slow music download with iTunes match on iOS devices

    For some time now I experience very slow performance downloading music with iTunes match on my iOS devices.
    Downloading music takes ages now. Not so long ago download music with iTunes match was as fast as buying music from the iTunes Store.
    I tried to restore my iPhone but nothing changed.
    The download itself is quite fast but after that the blue progress bar is full and the statut is "en cours" (french) something like busy/ongoing in english . The other tracks have a status wating;
    Any idea how to solve the issue?
    Thanks

    Same here. It seems to be better when the device has been set up from scratch. A delete and restore does not the trick. So I learned to live with it

  • HT4914 Can I stream with iTunes Match on iOS 7?

    I've seen a lot of places say yes. YouTube has videos of people talking about iTunes Match now streaming music way back on iOS 6. The iTunes Match website however says:
    Thanks for the help

    By streaming I mean like Spotify, I have a 16GB iPhone 5S and want to use iTunes Match to save me local storage space. I have a 6GB Data Plan so I think it should hold.

  • HOW DO I GET MUSIC ON MY IPHONE WITH ITUNES MATCH

    Is iTunes Match worth it?  I have MAJOR trouble downloading music to my phone when I want to listen to it....whether i'm in a WiFi environment or not.  The promises of the service seem like BS.  Like, right now, I'm in a WiFi area trying to download an album to my phone and there are just spinning circles showing zero progress.....and it's been like that for about 9 minutes.  I went into iTunes and tried to drag and drop songs/albums to my phone and I could not.  I'm really disappointed....and I told others to sign up for it before I actually used it because $25/yr seemed extremely reasonable for what the service promised.  I'm super disappointed.

  • Remove more then one song at a time with itunes match

    I have itunes match and use an ipad and iphone. If i want to remove a song from ither device I have to swype each song and hit delete and then it gives me the icon that the song is available to download from the cloud.
    How do I delete more then one song or all songs without doing it one at a time.

    In Windows, you can select multiple things by holding the Ctrl key and clicking . . . then clear them all at once. If they're all together, you can hold the shift key, click the first, then the last and the whole 'batch' will be selected and can be deleted.

  • Why can I only delete music from my phone (with itunes match) when "show all music" is selected

    This is pretty messed up... I can't delete any music from my phone unless I have the "show all music" command turned on.  This is the complete opposite from how it should be.  Please get it together, Apple!

    Thanks for your reply.  I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone.  I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

  • Fix for Music app crash with iTunes Match "on"

    Sometimes if you try to use iTunes match for the first time on 3G(or any other cellular connection) it crashes Music app permanently. It can occur if you try to run Music app on the go with bad 3G connectivity so some data is corrupted or configured incorrectly. I had this twice, but found this "easy" fix without a need of PC/Mac computer & iTunes.
    How to fix music app crash with itunes match "on".
    Step by step on the iPad:
    - delete all music on your device:
    Go to settings->usage->view list of all apps->swipe music icon ->choose delete
    - set itunes match off
    - run music app
    - give it a while till it shows "no music" info and only shop button. It needs to reload all settings and clear all data. Wait till no loading circle.
    - go to settings app again
    - music settings - itunes match on but "show all your music" off !
    -  open music app
    - wait till all your music lists covers download. It will take a while. Scroll down to load them all if you want. Wait till no loading circle.
    - go to settings app again
    - music settings - show all your music on
    - go to music app
    - wait till it download list of all your music
    Done
    Maybe you can fix this with lesser number of steps but this way I'm sure it works.

  • Can I set up a timer for iTunes Match?

    I use iTunes on a daily basis at my small graphic design business. I've loved having access to my large iTunes library both here and at home.
    Unfortunately, the internet connection I have at work is DSL and, as you can imagine, the upload speeds are horribly slow.
    While I love having iTunes Match. I get frustrated whenever the iTunes updates Match. This slows everything down to a crawl, including all of the other people sharing the wireless connection. This happens whenever I add a new mp3 to the library. Sometimes these mp3s are long mixes and take forever to upload. I probably do this on a daily basis.
    My question to you all is, is it possible to set up a timer with iTunes Match? In other words, could I program iTunes Match to update everything at night when I'm not using the computer and therefore not interfering with my internet connection during the day?
    I realize that most people reading this are not using an internet connection based in the late 90's, like we are. Believe me, I've looked into upgrading and it seems as if we're stuck with what we have for the foreseeable future.
    I wonder if anyone has ideas for a work-around to this issue? 
    Thanks much.

    You might want to look into using Automator to accomplish what you want to do. For example, create an Automator action/script to look in a certain folder at a certain and move the audio files to the "automatically add to iTunes" folder, then have it launch iTunes which would then kick off the iTunes Match process. You could have it do all this after everyone has left the office for the night.
    It might require some experimentation, though, to get it just right.

  • Separate Start/Stop times for a single song file

    I am trying to create some playlists for different moods e.g. calm, happy, upbeat etc.
    Now, my problem is this. I have some songs that have more than one mood within them, and I would like to set different start/stop times for the one song file.
    I would like to be able to set different start/stop times in each playlist and not affect the start/stop times for the file in the music library.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

    The only way to do this is to make a duplicate copy of the song for your playlist and adjust the times for the duplicate.

  • You can download individual tracks and delete music with itunes match on

    You can delete music with itunes match on:
    settings - general - use - music - all music
    in the right corner above you can click on edit and choose delete.
    You can also download individual tracks:
    click on the "cloud download" icon in an album. It displays the icons to start downloading. You can tap on stop of the songs you don't want to download and then those songs won't be downloaded.

    unfortunately the delete method deletes all the music you downloaded, not possible to delete individual tracks

  • Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) all of my music wiped off my phone.  Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G? Any ideas?

    Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5, 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) almost all of my music has vanished from my phone (weirdly some hasn't).
    Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G (all tracks greyed out), though my network settings etc are all set correctly.
    Lastly since upgrading to iOS 7.0.1 (and beyond) Genuis has become effectively useless: it continually asks me to connect to wi-fi, and if I do it creates playlists mostly composed of tracks by the same artists or those very obviously linked to them- previously it created brilliant, nuanced playlists.
    Are these things connected, and how do I fix them?

    I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
    The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
    The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
    Just about time to dump apple I think!

  • I updated my iphone 4 with iO6.1.  I now no longer have any of my music available with iTunes match.  I've turned iTunes match on and off on my phone and on and off on my computer. I am not restoring my phone to factory settings.

    I updated my iphone 4 with iO6.1.  I no longer have any music on my phone even with itunes match.  I've turned my phone off and on. I've turned my imac off and on. I've turned off imatch on my computer and turned it back on. I've turned imatch off on my phone and turned it back on.  I spent HOURS on this yesterday.  Coincidentally, two of my playlists were deleted from itunes.  So I spent  quite a bit of time recreating them only to find them missing again today. The ONLY way for me to get music on my phone is to click on the ...more tab and go to shared and pull music from my actual desktop.  Restoring my iphone is not an option.  I am completely frustrated so if anyone can help, that would be great

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • ITunes Match info says"With iTunes Match, you can download some or all of your music directly from iCloud on a total of up to 10 devices and computers." but when I try to add a computer it tells me i have reached my maximum of 5 computers.

    You have old computers authorized that you are no longer using more than likely.
    From http://www.apple.com/itunes/features/
    Authorize and Deauthorize
    Purchases you make from the iTunes Store can be played on up to five computers that you authorize using your iTunes Store account name and password. To authorize or deauthorize a single computer, choose Authorize This Computer or Deauthorize This Computer from the Store menu. If all five authorizations are being used, you can deauthorize all your computers at one time by choosing View My Account from the Store menu and selecting Deauthorize All.
    You can then restart the authorization process with each current device.
