Music stopping and starting, huge gaps between songs

I listen to music via Match daily.  Beginning last month I've been experiencing music stopping and starting, big gaps between tracks, and clunky behavior in general.  It's comes and goes but over the last week it's been terrible.  Is anyone experiencing this?  I have tried re-initializing match on my iPhone but it doesn't seem to work.

Go to Edit > Preferences > Playback. Turn off crossfading if enabled...
iTunes will attempt to play tracks that were recorded gaplessly without adding an artifical gap, it won't attempt to remove the gaps between tracks that were there in the original recording, unless you've enabled crossfade. You can't make it add gaps to what should be gapless transitons on the album. If you really need this you could make a playlist and include blank mp3s as a separator.

  • Music stops and starts

    I have restarted Apple TV, disconnected my WiFi and re-started, restarted the Mac as well; nothing seems to fix the issue of when music is streaming to the Apple TV, it routinely pauses, starts and stops, or doesn't advance to the next song. Not sure what to do next?

    thanks. Can't really do the ehternet idea as the Apple TV is a room away.
    Something to consider if ethernet cabling is not practical is mains powerline adapters that basically use your power sockets as ethernet sockets, sending the signal across the mains circuits.
    I've used these for a few years with AppleTVs and other internet enabled devices/computers.
    I use Devolo:

  • Why is my music stopping and starting, or siri popping up while in the car

    I play my music out of the headphone jack to the car stereo, and when charging it will randomly start and stop the music if in music app, or otherwise activate siri.
    I have had this problem on and off, through all 3 of my iphone 5 that I have had. This is really distracting while driving to constantly hit play, or dismiss siri. It doesn't seem to do it when not charging, I have had multiple lightning cables, Multiple car chargers, and multiple vehicles, multiple iPhones, to try to figure out why,
    Please tell me something else to get it working, as I drive all day and use gps all the time so I can't escape charging it.

  • When im listening to music and doing other things with iPad at the same time, the music stops and starts at random?

    Can't understand why my music cuts in and out?

    Have you tried restarting the iPad?  (Not just sleep, but hold the power button down until you get the slide to power off.)

  • Burned DVD issues in DVD player not reading or music issues stop and start

    I'm a PC converted to a MAC (less than a month) and love it so far. I have been able to create and burn a DVD. The problem I'm having is one DVD player will not read the DVD (Hitachi). The other DVD player will play it, but the music stops and starts when it transitions (twirl) to another picture (Panasonic DVD/VHS combo). I'm using a DVD R Memorex. Neither one of the player are new. Would love to use this to make the Grandparent's a DVD of the grandchildren from birth to present as Christmas present. What do I need to use or do to be able to watch on any DVD player as well as the computers?

    Hi me01
    Welcome to apple discussions. Try using 99 photos / less to avoid issues with audio fades / drops. Also do a search for Memorex on this forum and you'll see it's not the first choice of dvd's for most users. Instead try Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden and burn at 4x from a disc image for best results. Wish you luck and feel free to post back with results or any further questions.

  • Music skips and stops and starts

    Hello, we have just got a nano to replace a 3rd gen iPod.
    I have around 50 gigs of music on a lacie USB drive, and the music plays flawlessly from here in iTunes.
    However once imported into the nano, there is distortion, jumps and clicks in the music and sometimes the song will just stop and start from the beginning.
    Any ideas?

    Gary,
    You chould check out this thread we have going.

  • Some songs starts on my iPod, then stop and start from the begining and play all the way through

    Hey,
    While listening to songs on my iPod Classic 120gb, some songs will start to play, after 2-3 seconds, stop and start again from the beginning and play through the entire song no problems. On iTunes the songs still plays fine no stopping or starting. All songs are random artists and songs.
    Help! its really frustrating!

    Hey andy8299,
    Do you have any other music software (i.e Limewire) installed? If so perhaps these files are not compatible.
    See this for compatible song formats:

  • When I open firefox, there is a HUGE gap between the tabs and the menu - it's taking up room on my screen.

    I wish I could add a picture. But the menu bar
    is here (for example)
    the back buttons (which don't work) are here
    and the tabs
    are
    way
    down here
    There is a HUGE gap between them and it's taking up real estate on my screen! How do I fix this.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
    See:

  • Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while  playing music in iTunes.  It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

    Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes.  It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
    it started skipping again. 

    Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your  phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!

  • Songs stop and start intermittently

    Every now and then my new 60gb iPod plays songs but they stop and start. The stop time is only a second or so and it plays from where it last stopped - the tracks aren't skipping and no play time is lost on the display. It only seems to happen when the iPod is first switched on or if I stop it to select a new artist/genre/album etc.
    Anyone experienced this before?
    It's a worry because my 3g has never been anything other than perfect!

    I suggest for you to add all the songs to your iTunes library. Once everything is in place, sync it to your iPod. You may also try wireless syncing as well.

  • Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.

    Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.  A Genius suggested something went wrong during the transfer from my MBP to my iPod, but I tried resyncing it, and it seems to happen haphazardly.  Even if a podcast plays oddly one time, it might play perfect the next - so it can't have been the sync that went bad. 

    - First try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next restore from backup
    - The restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • My audio stops outputting after a few songs in a playlist - itunes says its still playing, stopping and starting track recommences audio output.  Mac book Pro Lion 16gb ram

    My audio stops outputting after a few songs in a playlist - itunes says its still playing, stopping and starting track recommences audio output.  Mac book Pro Lion 16gb ram.  Can be any song, any time, same song will play if I select it again.  Bit of a bummer itunes is the main thing I use (macbook pro jukebox).

    Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
    Best of luck

  • I am having trouble burning a gapless album that is a mixed compilation. I have selected part of compilation album on the options tab and I did select gap between songs as zero. When I play the cd, it is sticking between songs? Please help!

    Thanks Chris but according to Pioneer, is was possible with the itunes in 2010.
    It wasn't. (at least as far as setting Part of Gapless album goes. See next para.)
    They claim that itunes will work if you select gapless album, part of a compilation
    Selecting Gapless album does not make it gapless. (which is likely that now this option is removed - to not confuse people)
    The ONLY thing that option did was tell iTunes to NOT crossfade consecutive songs from same gapless album IF you had crossfade enabled.
    -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1797
    Setting the gap to 0 is what made it "seem" gapless.
    Perhaps it is not working as it used to.
    Try a slower burn speed.
    and used itunes to convert them to mp3
    Dont know why they suggest this.
    Simply use the WAV file. Then there will be no loss (as there is when converted to MP3).
