Playing music on itunes 6.0.1 many songs have a long Skip in them... makes

When I play songs on my computer in itunes many songs have a long skip about 1/3 of the way into the songs. Sometimes the skip is just that, a little skip, but sometimes it seems to replay a tiny section of the song over and over very fast, like a reverb, and get louder as it does so. Kind of ruins the moment and the song. Thanks for any help or anyone else have the same problem ???

iTunes has corrupted your song files- you should open one or two and you'll see gaps have been added, some segments are recreated between gaps, etc. They're an absolute mess! Can't wait for someone to explain that.

  • I downloaded the new version of iTunes and now over 100 songs have an exclamation mark beside them and won't play. The message says: "The song ... could not be used because the original file could not be found." How do I get these songs back?

    Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

  • Win XP Blue Screen of Death while playing music in iTunes

    For the past two weeks I have been trying to fix a problem with my computer, that crashes everytime i play music in itunes.
    The music stops playing, or gets hung up on one note for several minutes, my screen freezes, and then I get a blue screen with error message 0x0000007A.
    I have already done checks of the hard drive and RAM and according to the computer's diagnostics there is nothing wrong with the hardware.
    I tried re-installing itunes but this does not help.
    Any ideas?

    im just gonna keep all sound disabled at first.  then if there are no errors, ill enabled onboard, still if none, ill put audigy in a different PCI Slot and update drivers.  come to think of it I dont think its drivers were the most recent ones...
    by the way, I have a question about my motherboard.  In another forum on this site I told about my problems with it (rather, my stupidity).  At first I put the backplate on the motherboard with no insulating thing on it (had ripped it all off lol) so I had powered on the comp many many times shorting out the circuits surrounding the cpu socket.  When we took it off, we pryed it off (was very hard because it was sticking), being careful not to scratch any circuits.  My question is, is it possible that damaged the motherboard, and is causing my problems with the blue screen?  It seems to me that if Ive made it this far (played games on the comp at full load and what not) then the motherboard must be fine.  But I could be wrong..?

  • When playing music in itunes, music stops when screen shuts down

    I am using Windows Vista, when the screen shuts down for power saving. The song playing will continue, but the next one will not begin. This is when I am just playing music through itunes on computer. Can anyone help?
    Many thanks

    Hello TheDonsCheek,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the audio when nothing is playing in iTunes on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

  • Can't play music in itunes library

    When I try to play music from itunes I get an error that says: The song 'X' could not be used because the original file could not be found. When given the option, I can look up the song and open the file. Why isn't itunes opening it automatically?

    Hi,
    I just updated to version 7, and many of the songs I downloaded previously now have an exclamation point next to the checkbox. What does this mean? When I click on one of the songs to play it, it states the song cannot be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it? When I type in the name of the song, I don't get anything. Can you please help?

  • How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folder within the artist folder.

    How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folders within the artist folder and itunes moves the track/s whenever i try and load selected music to my ipod/iphone. I've tried to find some sort of preference to prevent this, but no joy? What am I missing?

    Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

  • My mac book pro has no sound when i try to play music in iTunes

    When I try to play music in iTunes, either from my library or the iTunes store there is no sound. Anywhere else the sound is fine. This just happens in tunes. Any suggestions?

    Thank you so much - that was the problem. We just got apple TV and that was device selected. Once I changed the selection to the macbook, problem solved.
    I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my plea for help.

  • When i try to play music on itunes it says the original file cant be found. I have music on exyernal dive and it is working . How can i correct this

    See if you have most of the songs with 'Exclamation' symbol precede the name under your music library.
    If so, double click a song with ! mark on side, you will be given an option to locate the file where the song is held. Select "locate" and direct it to your External Drive folder / file where the song is and open it.
    iTunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library.  OK that as this will fix all automatically instead of doing them one by one.

  • Iphoto '11 slideshow does not play music from iTunes

    I cannot get iPhoto Slideshow to play music from iTunes.  I read one suggestion to go to iTunes > File > Library > Organize Library > and select REORGANIZE library.  When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE. 
    Any suggestions on what I can do?

    When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE.
    Then your iTunes library is already organized according to the latest format. See this document on the organisation of the iTunes Library :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3847
    Sometimes the database files inside your iTunes Library can get corrupted.
    Try to rebuild the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" as described  here: 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25468
    I'm not sure if "Consolidate" can help in this situation - it will move all songs into your iTunes Library, so that they can be easier found, but not recreate the datbase files.

  • 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!

  • Trying to have a break between each song while playing music in iTunes

    Hi there
    When Playing music in iTunes the songs run without any break - that is something like 5 seconds before the current song playing is supposed to finish, the next one already starts to play. I hope to have a break between the songs - only when the current song reaches an end, the next one begins. Is there a way to do that? I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you
    Zak

    I have the same problem. I have the crossfade set to four seconds and have made sure that the "part of a gapless album" is not checked. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks.
