Only about 1/3 of the songs on MP3 CD play in my car ....

Hey, so I made an MP3 CD using itunes, got 119 songs on there. Earlier today I discovered while driving that about 1/3 of the way through the songs the CD started over, as in that is all it recognized as being on the CD for whatever reason. The songs are grouped by Artist and they play using folders, it got up to "F" (Foo Fighters) or folder 31, which is about 40 songs or so. I honestly have no idea what is going on. I have the CD in my drive right now and it is showing all 119 songs are burned on there and they all play fine on my PC. So is this something to do with my car or what? It is pretty weird to only have 1/3 of the songs playable for no apparent reason.
Anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks!

Apple does not support transferring files from the device to the computer if they are third party. It is great that you were able to transfer the ones you did. There is a way to do it but it sounds like you already did it because if not half of them would not come over. The files can probably not be found because they are third party and the files are not compatible with the transfer process.

HT1725 I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song. I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the 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.

no, i had to leave so i logged out and when i opened itunes on my mac and went into the downloads tab it only had one paused download listed. i resumed the download for the one movie listed and the other one never showed up. its been about two weeks since i initially bought the two movies so i figured something was wrong.

TS1424 On my last download, it downloaded the song but when I play it back it only plays a portion of the song

On my last download i-tunes downloades all of the songs yet when I play them back only a portion of the song plays? how do I get the whole songs?

i also can't re-download it again because it won't let me.
Did you delete the song from your library prior to attempting the redownload?

Only about 2/3 of the column show. Also, paragraphs on sidebars, such as the Youtube subtitle sentences are cut so after the first line I only see the top of the second line.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies 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 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.

TS3297 I bought an album, two of the twelve songs play about half the way through, then stop, and then the next song in line starts playing. How do I get the songs downloaded so they play to the end?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.

The old "part of the song can't be played" message

Okay... so I bought an MBP for recording on Pro Tools and Garage Band.
There are two unusual trends/problems that have occured since my purchase on Garage Band that I'm hoping someone can explain and maybe help me out with.
First off, when I first start playing a song in GarageBand, I ALWAYS get the "part of the song can't be played because you too many tracks... etc." message. For some reason, I have to do a couple of minor tasks in GarageBand, then just start my song, hit okay on that message prompt, start again, about 5 times, then I usually don't see it for awhile.
Why does this happen? Is there anything that I can do to help this (besides the Optimizing Performance steps because I read and have done all of those.
Second, I just finished a song, and it had a ton of tracks (probably about 20), and so I locked them all up, and tried to listen to my song... it will not play back. That stinkin' message just keeps coming up. I have iStat Pro on my Dashboard... I hit play on my song, and then go to my iStat and monitor my CPU and RAM, all is good... but the song won't play. I have something like 1.9 GB of RAM left and my CPU is only at 40% or so... but within 20 seconds the song will not play and I get that message.
Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong? Is there another part of my computer that is being used to the max that the song cannot be played back?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I didn't find too much for today, but there are new deals all the time. In descending size and price order:

320GB for $110

200GB $50 (after rebate)

I've purchased things from Zipzoomfly and circuit city (and have not had a bad experience with their rebates), but have never purchased from egoodz.
For a case, my favorite is this Macally PHR-100AF FireWire External Enclosure for $37. I've built 3 drives with this one and would definitely buy another if I needed a case.
So with that 200GB drive and this case you could do it for around $90
If you want me to see if there are any deals on preassembled drives I can take a look around

I have no idea how to fix this and can't find mention of anyone else having a similar problem.
Any suggestions?

Click on a station and drag to the left. The playlists sidebar will open up. Drop on the playlist you want to add to.

Reset the PRAM
Reinstall the operating system from the dvd (you will not loose your data)

When I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song

when I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song. The song shows when I open the music app, but the bar does not move and there is no sound. Even if I hit pause then play nothing happens. If I go back to the playlists and select another playlist or song then music plays.

After doing and changing EVERYTHING on that page, I ended up re-installing Quicktime by itself and finally that solved the problem. Thank you for the advice page though, it had a lot of good information on it that related to my problem.
