Playback levels significantly different with different songs.

I have put different songs from i-tunes, and from cd's onto my iPod. When I play the i-Pod through a stereo system, some songs are considerably louder than others. How do I get the songs to all play at the same volume level without me constantly having to alter the volume?

Several different reasons for this:
1. Were the songs imported in .mp3 format, .WAV, or .AIF (CD quality)? Different types of import result in a different sound quality. If they are a mix of formats you can select all the songs in your itunes library, right click (or Ctrl click if you're using a mac) and select "convert to .mp3".
2. Sound Check isn't on - you can find that under the ipod's Settings menu - turn it on. This is supposed to normalize the playback so that all songs are at the same levels but it doesn't always work. You can use mp3 doctor (http://www.mp3doctor.com/normalize.htm) and it helps.

  • I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Anyone have a solution?

    I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Some songs won't play at all even though they do appear in the itunes store. The artwork almost always shows u blank until you turn it to landscape then it will appear. Anyone know what's going on?

    I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
    However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****...

  • I am getting a message with some songs in my itunes library that has a different user id and says my computer is not authorized to play this song. ***?

    Since transferring my iTunes library to a new computer, my library is just a mess.  There are lots of songs that are duplicated 2, 3 and 4 times although all but one of the songs will get a message saying iTunes cannot find the file.  Now I am getting a messages with some songs that shows a different user id for iTunes and wants the password.  I have spent lots of $$$ and time trying to resolve these issues but really want to know what the heck is going on here?

    Maybe you purchased some of the other songs using a different itunes account.
    Could this be?

  • FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

    Please help ASAP.
    Specs: IOS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
    Editing with FCP 7
    When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
    The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
    How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
    This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
    Thanks,
    MV

    What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
    Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

    i just dowloaded an il divo album.  when it was placed on my ipod classic it came in as 8 different songs; not listed as 1 album with 8 songs.  this has happened before with other purchases.  Why?  How can I insure an entire album is saved as an entire album and not individual songs. And now how can I move individual songs to the album they belong in?

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

  • Used ipod as a drive to copy songs into new itunes on new computer. Some songs do play in entirety, las minute cuts off with nothing plyaing, or it suddenly starts playing a different song. "TIme" shown is correct in the file.

    Used ipod as a drive to copy songs into new itunes on new computer. Some songs do play in entirety, last 30 seconds to minute cuts off with nothing plyaing, or it suddenly starts playing a different song. "TIme" shown is correct in the file. Any way to fix this?

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • I have 2 computers with different songs under 1 iTunes account...

    I have 2 computers authorized under 1 itunes account with different songs on both computers.  I want to use the itunes match... My question is... Can i continue to upload songs not purchased through itunes for "itunes match" to sync to Icloud?  Can i do this more than once?

    Connect the iPod to the computer she syncs her iPod with.  Then restore the iPod via iTunes.  If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    For how to restore.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software

  • TS1424 HI.  I recently downloaded music to my devices, and there are 5 different songs that all downloaded as the same song.  How can I resolve this issue?

    I recently attempted to download 5 different songs to my iPhone, but all 5 downloaded as the same song.  The correct titles show up, but when I play the songs they are all the same.  How can I resolve this?

    Hello there, jmcough.
    I understand you are having issues with playback of purchased music. If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, it might be best to delete the song(s) from your device, then re-download from your purchase history.
    To delete a song the following Knowledge Base article offers how to delete from your iOS device:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    Music
    Open the section below for the device you are using.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    Afterwards, re-download the purchases from your purchase history:

  • The music on my iPhone is WRONG, plays a different song when I click another one.

    I recently plugged in my iPhone 4S to sync music with my relatively new Macbook Air. I had a song that someone had sent to me (a mix, not from iTunes) that I wanted to add to my phone. When I (safely) unconnected my phone and checked it, I found that a playlist (with only 2 songs) I had created earlier had disappeared. I then checked another playlist (3 songs),the one that had my new song in it, and when I clicked play, it played the 2 songs from the playlist that had disappeared. Now, ALL my music is mixed up. It seems like music is one song behind the cover art but even when I click on the same song three times, it plays three different songs, none of which are the one I clicked. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I tried to resync it by taking all the music off my iPhone and then readding it but the same problem occurs. I even tried adding all my music manually and nothing changes. The music on my iTunes on my Macbook is fine. All my updates are done on both devices. PLEASE HELP!! Will be going in to the apple store this weekend if I can't fix it.
    ALSO, if a song plays to the end, it stops, even though it isn't on repeat and there are songs after it. It just gets to the end and freezes and I have to manually click the arrow to go to the next song.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (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 at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Multiple copies of music on iPad, and some songs play as a different song

    Hi,
    I've been having this weird problem that I have been looking into for many times and never have found a straight answer. 
    I've been finding that I have multiple copies of the same song on my Music (built-in) app on the iPad 2.  I don't know why it's been doing this.  Yesterday, I finally got a chance to restore my iPad 2.  After the restore, the same problem consisted.  Not only has that been happening, but I also have been having another weird problem with the music app too.  I have a song that I want to play , but it ends up playing a different song.   For example,  choose the song "we are the champions" or some song, and then it plays a different song like "We will rock you" or some other song. (it's not these songs, I don't have them in my library.  They are just examples) but it keeps the name.  So when the iPad "says" it's playing "we are the champions" it is actually playing "we will rock you" or any other song.
    Sorry if I haven't made this clear enough.  I tried the best I could.  I have never had this problem until I updated to iOS 5.  I am currently running iOS 5.0.1
    Is there any way I can fix this problem I have been having?  I already tried the restore.  I don't know what else to do.

    I'm not sure about the playing a different song when you choose a nother, but I Just figured out the multiple copies issue.I had been having the same problem and realize that some of the songs in that album were marked as "part of a compilation." SO i went to each individual song in that album and unchecked the box (when you go to th e"get info" screen) Hope that helps.

  • Different zoom levels for different clips in the same project?

    Hi
    I am making a movie with videos from two different cameras. As a result some of the clips are cut down in size to a small portion of the screen. This can be solved if it is possible to use different zoom levels for different clips in the same project. I have not been able to do this. Is it possible?
    kind regards
    Soren

    You can scale the small clips up to the same size of the larger one... but you will get a quality loss.
    Using Motion or Scale to Frame Size commands
    Better to scale the large ones down to a Sequence that matches the smaller clip dimensions.

    I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync.  The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song.  I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit. 

    When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
    After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
    PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
    Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

  • When importing a CD, the CD Lookup Results dialogue box came up and I choose the wrong CD title.  Now iTunes is importing a different song list than the one on my CD.  How can I retrieve the CD Lookup Results to choose the correct title?

    When importing a CD, the "CD Lookup Results" dialogue box came up and I choose the wrong CD title.  Now iTunes is wanting to import a different song list than the one on my CD.  I've shut down my computer and opened iTunes from the hard drive Program Files and tried to import the CD again with the same problem.  How can I retrieve the "CD Looup Results" diaglogue box to choose the correct CD title to fit the song list on my original CD?

    You might also be able to do it without importing the songs again I think. Just highlight the tracks, right click them and choose "Get Track Names". This feature only works on CDs that were imported via iTunes.
