Problem Playing music in iTunes

Hi. I play music directly from iTunes on my computer quite a bit. Recently I've noticed that the last 5-10 seconds of a song are cut off as iTunes skips to the next song on the playlist. It's become a big annoyance. Has anyone heard of this before/knows how to fix it. Or, is it just one of those quirks that Apple will never get around to fixing?
Thanks.

Downloaded/purchased music usually delivers as DRMed files: afaik the only solution is to burn those tracks from MusicMatch to an AudioCD + re-import the resulting CD into iTunes.

  • REALLY HAVING PROBLEMS PLAYING MUSIC FROM ITUNES

    Trying to play music from my laptop via itunes i can click on the track put it just says the song "******" could not be used because the original file can ot be found would you like to locate it"
    What do i do what has caused this and why does it keep happening ?

    Sounds to me like iTunes lost track of your music. You should probably search your computer for the files, and then add them back to your library (oh, and when you do that, you should delete the old library entry, unless you like duplicates.)

  • Problems playing music in iTunes with Front Row

    Hey Everyone,
    For some reason when I try and use itunes in front row I either get a message saying "iTunes is not responding" or "this music is not authorized to play on this machine" all the music on my mac IS authorized to me...I dont know why its doing this. Somebody please help me.
    BTW I do have the latest version of itunes....
    Thanks

    Elsewhere in this forum I've read that if your music is on an external drive you need to first EJECT the drive from the finder then, using disk utility, MOUNT the drive. This worked for me one time. Then I deleted my iApps preference and my frontrow pref and this trick hasn't worked.

  • Problems playing music in itunes

    I recently installed Itunes on my laptop as I had sold my PC with it on. I don't know if I managed to successfully create an export library, but when I tried to import it, it didn't work. I managed to download my music again through 'purchased' however, the music does not appear in my music list only in the 'purchased' section in the itunes store. Does anyone know how I can get the music into the correct library so that I can synch my iphone and get the music on there?
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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..?

  • Bleeping/Glitches when playing music in iTunes

    Hi,
    Just the last couple of days i have noticed when i am playing music from iTunes on my 15" Mid 2010 Macbook Pro, I am getting intermittent digital noises like bleeping and weird audio glitches.
    It is almost like an 8 bit type song which are so popular these days!
    Now i know its not the encoding of the music as its happening on all different tracks when listening on random. It is also happening when i listen on headphones, through speakers connected through jack or through the built in speakers.
    At present it is intermittent and will get progresively worse during a song and then I could skip and it will stop again.
    I have never ex[erience anything like this before with an apple product. At present i am not seeing any visual glicthes when watching video and the laptop does not appear to be acting up in any other way, which hopefully means its not a logic board issue.
    Anybody ever heard of or experienced this before? Can anybody help out?
    The laptop is obviously not under warranty anymore otherwise i would just take it in, but at present i'm hoping i can diagnose and sort the problem with the aid of the the internet!
    Any help/suggestions much appreciated!
    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:

  • Music speeds up when playing music in itunes!

    hi everyone,
    i recently bought a creative xmod and when i play music through itunes now the music speeds up to an insane speed, does anyone know how to fix this? i couldn't find any help on the creative tech support but i sae that others had this problem.thanks.

    First thing is try playing back one of your music files with, say, Quicktime (just browse to the file in Finder, right-click or ctrl-click and choose "open with Quicktime").
    If the music plays back normally then your issue is with iTunes and is not hardware related.
    See if [this link|http://lfnet.net/blog/?page_id=21] helps you out.

  • Music Stutter when playing music in itunes

    My music stutters when I scroll or do something in another application when I am playing music in itunes at the same time. They have updated itunes since it started but it didn't fix the problem, in fact I think they made it worse.

    Sandy,
    Go to this post and 'View All':
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68ba4951
    Read through the process I went through to find and correct my playback hang (actually it was a system-wide periodic freeze). Don't bother with the related links yet (or b's threadjacks for my attention). Just use it to spark some thoughts and to develop a mind-set that may lead you to your issue.
    In the end, I feel I got lucky, rather than good, in finding my problem. Even though I made some quick assumptions, I was always ready to test and discard them just as quickly.
    If you have really gone through everything on these Discussions, you are left with self-diagnosis of your system, or a step-wise reinstall, testing iTunes out along every step of the way (ouch).

  • Trouble playing music through iTunes

    A problem has recently occurred with regards to playing music through iTunes. Whenever a song reaches around the half-way mark, it suddenly starts slowing down and becomes riddled with crackles. This only started last night, and is the first time I've ever had this problem. Does anyone know what the problem, and how to rectify it?

    Does this happen in other programs? Have you tried updating your soundcard drivers?

  • Problems Playing Music Files...

    When I try to play music in iTunes, the progress diamond moves, but there is not sounds. Videos work properly, and the music files play in other applications (WMP, Real, and Quicktime). I have read the help articles in the Apple Support section and a few similar posts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

    Thanks so MUCH for writing AGAIN. Obviously, you're not understanding my problem.
    Please check this thread: http://forums.creative.com/creativel...id=24057#M5295?for your personal research purposes. It's pretty frustrating when someone who has never experienced the same computer problem as you tells you it'scan/cannot be experiencing. I bought an X-FI Xtreme Audio last night, just to compare...put it in, and voila...mono files correctly upmixed with CMSS-3D.
    ?...anyways, enough is enough. But PLEASE don't be so PRESUMPTUOUS next time. Michael
