Pause at 13 seconds into each song

For every single song that I play, the playback stutters at exactly 0:13 seconds into the songs. Normal playback resumes by 0:15 or 0:16. It does this with every single song.
It started a while ago (several i-tunes updates ago). I'm fairly certain it was fine back through all the 4.x versions. Somewhere in the 5.x it started.
I'm currently running 6.0.1
Anyone recognize this 13 second stutter symptom??

Yes, other people have experienced this too. It's your antivirus program.
Are you running NOD32 by any chance? As I recall that was one of the problem ones.

  • I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and won't play

    I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and wont play the rest of the song.

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
    Here's the link for the safeboot

  • Bug? 11 sec into each song the playback briefly stops - Please help

    Hi all,
    I have the most annyoing problem. Approx. 11 seconds into each song the playback stops and pauses for about two seconds, then the playback continues like normal until 11 seconds into the next song.
    I am using windows xp, I have itunes 6.0 and have tried uninstalling itunes, restarting and reinstalling, but to no avail.
    Any help, tips, comments would be really appreciated. I really like itunes, well apart from this annyoing bug.

    Hi hi,
    Thanks for the link above
    I have followed all the instructions, but am not getting any results.
    What I have done:
    1) Changed the QuickTime Sound Out Setting.
    2) Reinstalled itunes.
    3) Updated DirectX.
    4) Checked if my sound carddrivers were updated, they were.
    5) Tried shutting of all hardware acceleration (DirectX).
    6) Disable the Sound Enhancer feature in iTunes.
    7) I do not have the application 'Total Recorder'.
    My songs still stop after 11 seconds, albeit now instead of a total 2 second silence there is about 3-4 seconds skipping.
    If anyone out there has suggestions or comments they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thx for taking the time to read this

  • CPU 100% 20 seconds into every song

    It may or may not be iTunes's fault, but I'm just making sure if anyone else is having similar problems.
    About 20 seconds into every song, CPU usage skyrockets to 100%, and all I can do is wait until the CPU usage drops back down a few seconds later. Then the song continues just fine until 20 seconds into the next song.
    I'm using iTunes 5 on Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 2, (256 MB RAM), and I have SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio (which I believe is onboard sound for my Intel Desktop Board D845PESV.)
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem. I've isolated it in a number of ways trying to resolve it.
    It always happens 13 seconds into playing a track. This applies whether it plays from the beginning, 1 min into the track or if I make is jump to different places. Each time, once it has played 13 seconds (ie first 13 secs or if I jump to 1 min immediately it will be at 1:13 or if I play 6 secs then jump to 1:30 it will happen at 1:37). The CPU spikes to 100%, pausing everything and leaving a 3 or 4 sec silence.
    This happens regardless of track length. So a 1 hour dj set will have the CPU spike at 13 secs and then be fine for the next hour.
    It seems to me to be related to some sort of buffering or something similar in Itunes. I have worked out that once it has caused the CPU spike I can restart the same track and it will play through without a hiccup. If I play the next track and then come back to the first track, though, it will glitch at 13 secs again. I can also make it glitch on a replay of the first track without playing any others by changing the tracks that are to come after it in the playlist. This seems to suggest it is related to buffering the coming track(s).
    I can make the silent gaps go away by reducing the size of my music library considerably. It is over 45 gig now. If I reduce it to below 20 gig the CPU spiking occurs but not at 100% and so not causing the silences. The problems is still there, though, and itunes has played my 40 gig library fine for months without any such problems.
    Recent changes have included a few software installs. I have removed those that I could (eg Nero) but I do still have one photo editing programme that I need for a current job. I had removed quicktime from my startup but seeing a suggestion that this caused such a problem I have put it back. This has not fixed the problem for me.
    I have also bought a shuffle and would have probably run the software related to that. If you had a problem when you added a mini perhaps it's due to some sort of error arising from the software coming with new ipods when used with existing itunes installations? Just a guess.
    I'm running Itunes 4.7.1.30
    If anyone can help with this I would be most grateful as it is making Itunes unusable on my computer. I'm going to have to go back to playing cds!!!

  • When i turn shuffle on, my song will switch about 20-30 seconds into the song unless i hold it still...why and how do i fix it ?

    Whenever I have my shuffle on and I place my ipod on my waist, arm, backpack or whatever it may be, the song will change about 20-30 seconds into the song. It does this each and every song UNLESS I hold it in my hand practically still when I'm moving. I can't figure out why it does it or how to fix it but it's incredibly annoying. Also, it will repeat the same songs over and over without actually shuffling through my whole playlist, PLEASE HELP !

    Ensure that "shake to shuffle" is turned off. Go to Settings > Music and the first option will say "shake to shuffle". If it is on the song will change everytime the iPod detects any movement.

  • When playing songs on my ipod the tracks begin 21 seconds into the song

    Something weird is going on with my 3rd gen iPod Touch (32gb). When I play music, very often I run into a problem where all or most of the tracks in an album will begin playing 21 seconds into a song. For instance, I might select the first track in an album and it begins playing at 0:21. I can jump back to the beginning of the track and it plays normally, but then when the song ends it begins playing the next track at 0:21. This will continue for most of the tracks in a given album (but sometimes not all). I can always skip back to the beginning of the track, but each time an affected track is played it begins at 0:21.
    I have reset my iPod to factory settings and then restored to a back up. I'm currently using iOS version 4.1 and I'm unfortunately unable to update any further. (Further iOS updates require updating iTunes, and I am unable to update past iTunes 9.2.1 because I'm still running OS 10.4.11.)

    Additional info: It's not always 21 seconds, but the time remains consistent within an album. 75% of the tracks on The Lonely Island - Incredibad begin at 0:21. Half of the tracks on David Bowie - Scary Monsters begin at 3:16. The last two tracks on Ziggy Stardust begin at 2:24. Etc, etc.

  • Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song.  Help.

    I just loaded up my Itunes software, and tried importing some of my CDs into my Itunes library. But it only transfers a few seconds of each song before moving on to the next one.
    Does anyone know how to correct this? I've reinstalled the software once already, but nothing changed.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem on 1 PC but it imports OK on Itunes installed on my laptop.

  • While running how do I get my podcast to play one song and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?

    I recently started running and downloaded the Couch to 5K webcasts, while running how do I get my podcast to play one song in it's entirety and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?  I beleive it's the motion of the running that is causing it, is there a setting I need to change?

    Hello nowrunning,
    Is the "Shake to Shuffle" option turned on in your iPod's settings?  To check, head to Settings -> Music -> Shake to Shuffle and make sure it is set to Off.

    Hi Cmathews,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You might want to check out Knowledge Base Document #93453 which covers Can't Import or Play Music from CD in iTunes for Windows.
    Since this is the iPod Nano Forum, and you are having problems with iTunes; I bet the iTunes for Windows Forum will help more. You can search for previous posts as well as post there with questions about iTunes for Windows.

  • TS1424 I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

    I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

    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.
