Playing songs after end of previous song when waiting some minutes

When I played a song and don't play straight away another song within a minute or 2, the player ópens at thebeginning of the next song I have selected, but don't start playing. It looks like that it is froozen. I have to close Itunes and start-up again to solve the problem. If I select songs direct after the previous song has ended, then there is no problem. Does anyone know a solution to this problem??
Many thanks for your assistance

Have you tried letting it sit for a while and see if it finally starts the next song after a LONNNGGGGG delay?
I recall someone else having a problem like this some time ago and the issue was anti-virus software. Apparently it was monitoring the iTunes folder. When the song ended, iTunes increments the play count one and updates the date and time of the last play. Well when it would go to update the database file in the iTunes folder the anti-virus software would kick in and slow the process down from being almost instant to taking a couple minutes. After a couple minute delay the next song would start.
So the solution ended being to tell the anti-virus software to EXCLUDE the iTunes folder from monitoring.

    You might be able to achieve what you want by using Party Shuffle. Set the source for Party Shuffle to be the playlist you want to listen to or add the tracks you want to listen to by control clicking on them and selecting Add to Party Shuffle. Once everything is in Party Shuffle, you can rearrange them to your satisfaction. As the songs are played, they'll roll off the queue. You can quit iTunes and even when you restart, all your songs will be there, in the order you want, waiting for you to hit play.

  • Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

    Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
    Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

    Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod?  If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

  • Ipod mini stops playing songs when it hasnt been updated

    after a little while off the charger my ipod mini will not play my purchased songs. is there something wrong with it? do i need to get it fixed?

    hey yea my ipod mini does the same thing i dont kno
    what to do either!
    Did you see my post?
    Also, try these...
    Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
    If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
    If they still won't work...
    Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
    Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
    Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
    Play the song in that username to authorize it.
    Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
    Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

  • How can play songs when I keep getting asked to authorize a computer which is already authroised?

    I am using iTunes on my PC and it is an authorized computer, as is my husbands iPhone.
    lately, I have been purchasing songs but some of them (not all) are prompting me to authorized my computer to play.  I put my password in etc and it says my computer is already authorized but it still wont let me play.
    The songs seem to download perfectly on my husbands iPhone.
    Subsequently, I have paid for songs I cannot listen to!
    I have downloaded the updated software for itunes but that does not seem to have made any difference.
    Any advice and help appreciated.
    Thanks

    lately, I have been purchasing songs but some of them (not all) are prompting me to authorized my computer to play.
    That suggests the tracks are damaged.
    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.

  • Computer ia already authorized, cant play song when downloaded the album

    Purchased an album, cant play a song from it because my computer or ipod is not authourized,even though the comp is authourized.

    I have the same issue...  My ITunes is telling me that I used a different username (e-mail) to download this music, when I've only had one Apple ID my entire time using ITunes.
    Also, when I log in with my existing current ID (that I purchased the song with), it tells me that this computer is already authorized, but doesn't let me play it!

  • How can I stop iPad from starting the music app after ending a phone call when using Bluetooth headphones?

    music app automatically starts after using Bluetooth headphones during a phone call

    If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck.  The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it. 
    iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.

  • Apple selling DRM audio songs when purchasing some albums

    Hi...I am at a loss as to why this is happening too. I have raised the case with iTunes support as I have only noticed it over the last few days. (I am running iTunes 11 and iOS 6.02 on my iPhones/iPads.
    I have tested it on different Apple ID'S. Any album that I buy from the iTunes store that has some tracks listed as album only do play in iTunes. However those particular tracks that were shown as "album only" and can only be purchased when you buy the whole album which I did and these particular ones are MP4 OR MPEG protected.
    Here are the 3 albums I tested -
    Rod Stewart Merry Xmas Baby (Delux)
    Track that is album only and DRM is Have yourself a very merry Christmas.
    The very best of Neil Diamond - several tracks including I am I said which is DRM
    A Symphony of British Music (Olympic Ceremony)
    Track - The Spice Girls Wannabe and several others too that show as album only are also DRM.
    Not sure if many other people are having this issue but wish it would get sorted as while it doesn't affect playing them in iTunes it does affect my Sonos system as you can't listen to DRM tracks on Sonos.
    Anyone else having these problems are have an answer?
    If you google this there are other people experiencing this problem when purchasing albums that have tracks listed as album only in it.
    Many Thanks Rob
    Here is a screenshot of one album only tracks from the Rod Stewart Album...

  • Why do none of the play, pause, menu, end action etc. work when I try to preview?

    First time using adobe encore CS5 and cannot get the preview screen to do anything.

    OK, I can see more now - thank you.
    In your words, describe your Project, and how you wish for navigation to proceed.
    Looks like you have one Timeline (Airline Leather), and one Menu with only the one Button to link to that Timeline. Is that correct?
    I have to admit that CS5 has changed a bit of the display in Flowchart from my version, so I might be a bit confused. Still, if you outline the Project and your Assets, plus what you would like to have happen, we can step you though getting that, and getting your Project burned.
    One rec. that I'd like to make, as it will help you so very much - much more than Adobe Help will be able to: Jeff Bellune has written a book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. Though for an older version of Encore, everything in his book still applies, as it is all about the DVD-specs., and how Encore interfaces with those. That has not changed version to version. Some things HAVE been added, but the Help files cover those aspects. There is not better book on working in Encore.
    Also, that "drawing" that you mention is the use of the Pickwhip - the little spiral icon, and it still works, just as with older versions of Encore. One can also do the linking via the Properties Panels, and the drop-downs for many links. Even more, one can also choose Specify Link to get even more precise choices, like linking to a specific Menu with a specific Button selected.
    Good luck, and let us know more about that Project, the Assets and what you want to be able to do.

  • How can play Itune song when authoriaztion does not work?

  • Ipod does not recognize songs when unplugged from computer

    My iPod shows all of my library songs when it is connected to the computer, and I am certain the files are physically on the iPod, because it can play songs when connected to iTunes that have been deleted from my hard drive (and I can see the actual files in the hidden iPod control folder), but when I unplug the iPod, i have no songs. I tried to reformat, but when the ipod formats, it never finishes, it just says 'waiting for iPod'. Using Windows XP, SP2.

    I just fixed a similar problem with my iPod.
    I didn't have any problems with my restore but I still couldn't see any songs on my iPod. ( Yes, I'm updated to the current firmware and 4.9 iTunes. )
    The solution for me was to assign a letter drive to the iPod file system when it mounted ( i.e. not to let Windows pick one randomly ). If you have mapped network drives, you should consider doing likewise.
    Check this out for more details:
    Strange iPod behaviour when Windows confuses iPod with network drive
    This article was suggested by James Bond 007 in a post entitled "Ipod v 2.3 vs. 2.2 problem with Updater 2005 -06-26".
    You can tell it's got the letter drives confused because it creates an iPod_Control under one of your network drives and starts filling it up instead of your actual iPod ( hence no music when you disconnect ).

  • Play option after change position of cursor

    I would like to ask for something. This function is VERY IMPORTANT to me.
    When we push "PLAY" and then we click to another section of our clip, a clip is stop playing immediately.
    I don't want this. I want when I click "PLAY" button and then I start to click to forward/backward section of my clip, clip is still playing.
    Can we change it? It is VERY IMPORTANT. Because it makes my work very slow....
    This behaviour is in EVERY menu, every windows, every workflow in Premiere Pro.

    OK, let's try this again. Please follow these steps and tell me if the space bar works for you.
    1. Set in and out points on a 30 minute clip in the Source monitor, about a minute apart.
    2. Press the "Play In to Out" button.
    3. After seeing that your in point is where you want it you skip the CTI over to something close to the end point with a mouse click. After all, you don't need to see the whole thing. The video stops playing so you hit the space bar.
    Wait a minute. It keeps going past the out point! What the HE double hockey sticks is THAT all about?
    Oh, wait, if you had a modifier for your mouse click it would obey the original in-to-out command, wouldn't it?
    Ah! All I have to do is press Ctrl-Space. But that means I have to click on the timeline, then hit Ctrl-Space. It would be a heck of a lot easier to hit Ctrl-Click now wouldn't it?
    Does that help explain it? All I want to do is to Ctrl-Click the CTI over to where I want it to start again and have it play. I don't consider that unreasonable. Why should I have to click, then hit a keyboard combination when a modifier for the click would be faster?
