My music files move location when I play a song?

Currently all my music files are in F:\iTunes\iTunes Music\Music
Everytime I listen to a song on my PC the file moves to F:\iTunes\iTunes Music starting a new folder for the albumn and artist there?
Only the songs I play move location?
I think this has onlt been since the last iTunes update?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

I downloaded some music from iTunes and when I played the songs the screen went black and had fireworks, but this has disappeared. How do I get it back?

How do I get my music when played to revert to black screen with fireworks?

Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

Lately, when I play a song from a newly imported cd, itunes moves the song to another location. The song is still in the main list but it is no longer with the rest of the album. Any ideas?

Hi, llmrfan.
I have experienced this as well. Usually it is something simple in the metadata that iTunes recognizes as different. Try selecting all the songs at once in that album and get info on multiple tracks. At that point you can mark them as part of a compilation. The article below walks you through this process.
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

Easier way to rename music files and locate them with iTunes? Help, please!

A while back, I used a 3rd party software (Yamipod) to move all my music off of my video ipod to a new computer. Yamipod converted all of my music file names to read "album name - artist - song name", instead of how iTunes imports music "01 song name". Yamipod also created a sub-folder "1" for each album the artist has in my iTunes music folder.
For example, when in my iTunes music folder, if I click on Justin Timberlake, it will show the two albums I have "FutureSex" and "Justified". If I click on "Justified" it shows a folder "1" which I have to click on to get to the song which is then named "Justified - Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body" instead of "06 Rock Your Body"
When in my iTunes folder, a lot of my music cannot be found (even though it is not technically lost), so I manually have to click through all my iTunes music folders to "re-attach" the file so iTunes can then play the music.
Here's what I am looking for:
1. I want to rename all of my music files back to iTunes format of "track # song name" (i.e. 06 Rock Your Body) without manually retyping every song title.
2. An easier way for iTunes to "find" all of my music instead of me manually pointing to each and every file. I have all the music, I just have to manually show iTunes where each of the 1600+ songs is located, which is a long and tedious process that I do not have the time or patience for.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to manage this without going bonkers.
Thank you!!

Well, the one problem you have is that for the "Move" function, the source file input should be wired to the output of the "Build Path" function, not to the duplicate path out of the "List" function. Also, you need to pass the error cluster around with a shift register. Otherwise you will not catch an error that may have occurred during one of the file rename operations.

Some AAC files are truncated when iTunes plays them

When I had iTunes 6, I went through and converted all my MP3's to AAC using the Advanced > Convert Selection to AAC option. When I upgraded to iTunes 7, it stopped handling some AAC files correctly. When they play, they get almost to the end, then abruptly stop and the next song plays. Quicktime handles these files perfectly, and plays them through the end.
A. Why is this happening? (Are they encoded badly? I feel like this can't be the case, since I've only used iTunes to encode my files, and Quicktime handles them fine)
B. How can I fix it?

Actually, no I don't have crossfade playback on. The files cut out anywhere from 5 - 60 seconds before the file is supposed to finish, it really has nothing to do with crossfade...

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

When i play a song from my itunes library, there is a short "buzzing" sound about every 20-30 seconds. I had the problem before and thought it was fixed after verifying that itunes was my default player. Any ideas to fix the problem now??

When I play a song from the cloud on my iPad, is the song actually saved to the device or is it streaming it from the cloud? If saved, how do I clear the songs to not exceed the storage on my iPad since the iTunes library is way bigger?

When I play a song from the cloud in iTunes Match on my iPad, iis the track actually downloaded to the iPad, or is it streaming? If downloading, wouldn't the tracks eventually exceed my storage capacity on the iPad since my iTunes library is way bigger? Do i need to delets songs off the iPad eventually?

It is downloaded, and yes it takes up space and can eventually fill up your iPad. It's supposed to delete older tracks as the music app plays new ones and space gets low, but other apps won't delete songs and free up the space. So if you were going to say use the camera app and it was full of music you would have to delete songs manually.

HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?
i'm just wondering:
a) why it does this
and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song

ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song... i cant see the the volume display to adjust it eiether. Everyting shows up in the menus just not on the now playing screen.... any suggestions?

Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Music spot being saved when I stop a song

When I play a song and I switch to a different song, the old songs spot is saved and when I go back and play the old song it begins from where I left off. Its really annoying....

Go into Get Info for the song>>Options tab. There is a remember playback position checkbox.
This option is also available when you do a multiple track Get Info.
Select Desired tracks, right click then Get Info.
