Problems listening .mp3 songs with Itunes

When I download a.mp3 song, for example from bandcamp, Itunes open but the song does not appear so it does not play, why ??????????????????????

Chad,
Glad to hear that Steve's script was helpful.
As to the bug, I don't know. The problem you report is not common. Usually when iTunes displays artist-title in the Name field, it is either an untagged MP3 or a WAV file, but in those cases it does not correct itself when you give it a kick. Between that and the non-refresh problem you report, I think there is something else going on besides a tagging issue. At your convenience, you may want to reinstall the newest iTunes, and see if it helps.
Anyway, enjoy the music!

Mp3 songs ***** with ipod 4th

How many of you having a problem playing mp3 songs with iPod.
First time when put mp3 songs in iPod was not able to play them at all. IPod Touch would skip, glitch and garble, making electronic glitches and annoying noises. I had to restore iPod! After that was able to play at list but not well anyway. I converted to ACC 128kbps still the same.
I have 3 Zunes not of them have any problem with playing song.
I set support call after that I will see. It may go back to store.
Thanks

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours.

Problems playing mp3s after installing iTunes 7.1

I installed iTunes 7.1 today. After that, I have problems playing mp3 songs on my iPod (80 GB). The AAC-files play well. The mp3 songs can also be played on iPod via iTunes when its connected to my computer, but when I disconnect from the computer, the mp3 songs starts, and play for about 2 second, and then jumps to the end of the song and stop.
Very thankful for any help.

that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
the following document may be of some assistance:

RAZR V3i is very slow when syncing songs with iTunes

My V3i use to sync songs with iTunes pretty fast, but after updating iTunes it syncs very slow, and half the time just hangs.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any tips?
Thanks!

iTunes stalls loading a mp3 on my phone when that mp3 is currently being played.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

Click on the chevron > to the left of the iPod icon in the Source list. This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view with the information at the bottom.

Edit (modify or change) MP3 tag with iTunes

Hi All!
Someone knows how can i change, modify or edit the mp3 tag with iTunes 6? Is it possible?
If it isn't possible, do you know some plug-in for iTunes (or external program) that allow me to change mp3 tag of a file(s)?
tnx a lot

right-click on the entry in iTunes and select "Get Info". The "Summary" tab tells you a little about the file, while the other tabs (Info, Options, etc.) let you edit ID3 tags supported and used by iTunes.

HT1420 I bought song with itunes card. The song won't play on my computer or devices. The messages says I need to authorize my computer to play the song. However, when I "authorize" my computer I get message that this computer is already authorized.

and, what is even more strange...
I actually bought 2 Billy Joel songs NY State of Mind from Essential Billly Joel and Italian Restaurant from Greatist Hits vol 1. Neither song would play.
I went back the Apple store and tried to re-download NYSOM. It let me do it for free. Before I checked I tried to re-dowload IR but inadvertantly selected same song but from The Stranger. I had to pay for this one. The re-downloaded NYSOM still didn't work but IR I bought from Stranger worked. So, I bought NYSOM from Greatest Hits vol 1. Didn't work!!! Tried again and bought from another album, Turnstiles, and that one worked. So, I bought 5 songs, only 2 of which will work.
So, now I ask - is there any way to get my money back?

Problem playing some mp3 songs in itunes

It says that iTunes/ipod supports the mp3 format. But some of my songs will only play halfway through then itunes skips to the next song. Those songs affected plays just fine in Windows Media Player or MediaMonkey but not in iTunes. I did some googling on this and it seems that iTunes has problems with ID tags on some songs. I downloaded a tool that should fix the problem, and after using it the songs played in iTunes but some of the information about the songs were lost ( for instance part of album name). I want the information about the songs in my library to be complete so I reentered the missing information, and then the problem was back again. ITunes only played part of the song before skipping to the next.
So long a other players can play the mp3 files I consider this as a BUG in the iTunes code, and expect Apple to fix it.

Hello-
Question: are you streaming audio via Apple TV or AirTunes? If so disable that configuration and set audio to COMPUTER (lower-right part of the iTunes window). Video and Airport Express do not get along with each other.

Problem downloading songs with itunes +?

I have purchased 2 songs with new itunes + but they won't download. Anyone else have this problem? And what can I do?
Toshiba Windows XP

I started converting the "old" versions at 8pm CDT last night and was not finished at 12. I had about 275 songs to do. All loaded but 61 Grand Funk songs. Someone tell me that Grand Funk is that popular? Many dashed out to a fast load, only to stop halfway through. I agree that Apple has a problem, and it probably is a large load on their servers--but Grand Funk does not load? Does not make sense unless that funk just rocks the servers too much. Someone fix the problem, as I have about 600 songs to go. Oh, I restated the download so many times and turned off firewalls --and suspended the anti-virus protection, etc, etc, etc.

Distortion/stutter between songs with itunes 7.0.1.8

Everything was fine with itunes 6.x; then I upgraded to 7. Now when I play itunes on the sony computer, for 10 to 15 seconds between songs the music is distorted or stutters. Also itunes freezes for this time period. I have noticed the following: CPU usage shoots up from 6% to 70%. If I am using any other application (ie. program, email, etc.) it freezes for these few seconds. I have to stop playing/close itunes to do anything else on the computer. I have tried all the suggestions Apple has listed, Q time settings, updating the sound card driver, etc. to no avail!
The only solution I have found was to convert my itunes library to MP3, and created a play list in Windows Media Player. Every thing is fine, the music plays great. itunes at one time was state of the art, now just junk!
Any help would be most appreciate!
SONY VAIO Windows XP

Actually I have the same problem. It's really funny how if I go back to iTunes 6.x I don't have any problems at all, but as soon as 7.01 is installed it does this stuff.
I have Crossfader turned off, Safemode on, lowered the sample rate in Quicktime. I have the newest drivers for my Soundcard, and for Direct X
This is a REAL problem, I use iTunes to listen to the TONS of music that I purchased on the iTunes Music Store while I play World of Warcraft. This stinking total machine freeze totally hoses my game play.
I wish that Apple would look into WHY suddenly it takes a huge amount of System resources to change to another song in this version, when in the previous unbuggy version it took little to no system resources for iTunes to change to another song (and this was with Crossfader and sound Enchancer ON)
Perhaps the new Gapless Playback feature is causing the problem. I would turn it off, but I don't see the control to do so.
It would be nice to see an Apple Rep actually acknowledge a problem with the Windows version of iTunes, and give us a timeframe for when it will be fixed.

Distortion/stutter/computer freezes between songs with itunes 7.0.2.16

Everything was fine with itunes 6.x; then I upgraded to 7.0.2.16. Now when I play itunes on the Sony computer, for 10 to 15 seconds between songs the music is distorted or stutters when the crossfader is on. When the crossfader is OFF, then the distortion is gone, but the computer still freezes. Also itunes freezes for this time period. I have noticed the following: CPU usage shoots up from 6% to 70%. If I am using any other application (ie. program, email, etc.) it freezes for these few seconds. I have to stop playing/close itunes to do anything else on the computer.

SONY VAIO Windows XP iPod Shuffle; itunes 7.0.2.16, SoundMax Digital Audio

I am having the same exact problem. My computer freezes for 3-5 seconds when the song has about 5 seconds left. I think it may have to do with the new "gapless" playback. This is garbage, I can't even use iTunes anymore. Have you been able to find any answers. If not, I just want to downgrade, but I don't know if that is possible.
I tried to install an older version but iTunes said that I have an newer version of iTunes on the computer, which is true, but the new version, 7.0.2.16, is not working. I hope someone finds something back from Apple because I don't want to reorganize all my music due to their bug.

Brought a song with iTunes plus.. but no device understands it?

Hi all,
Ive brought a song from iTunes with the hope of putting it on my Motorola phone.
However when I copy it accross it says it doesnt understand the file format. It used to work, so i'm not sure why it doesnt now?
Ive dug out my old creative MP3 Player and ive put the song on but it doesnt show up in the players list so I cant play it on the Creative either?
What can I do to get this working?
Thanks!!

Hi Dean Parker,
Ok, so you bought an iTunes Plus song from the iTunes Store? This means it's not encrypted, therefore you can use it in a healthy way, by converting it and so on!
Also, that song is in .aac audio format, which I'm sure it' not compatible with your Motorola phone! That's the reason of your problem... So, you'll need to convert it to .mp3 file, using the converting program in the market!
Hope this helps!
