Problems transfering music library from RealPlayer to IPOD

Just bought the 80 gb IPOD. When I transerred my music library, which is very large and (unfortunately) on RealPlayer, many of the songs are cut off when I play them on the IPOD. They still work fine in RealPlayer on my computor. But the IPOD cuts out (and goes on to the next song) when there is approximately 15% of the song left to play. Very strange.
More key facts: 1. library is about 68GB. 2. All of the library was originally saved using the RealPlayer software. 80% of the library is in the RealAudio format (.ra extension); the balance is with the MP3 format. The songs that cut out on the IPOD are all ones that were saved with the RealAudio format. The ones with the MP3 format work fine on the IPOD. So, 80% of my songs on the IPOD end early 3. Most of the songs were saved on the then-current RealPlayer version during 2004 or 2005. So it was not ancient technology. All was saved at 192kb/s whether it was in MP3 or RealAudio format. Any help would be very much appreciated.

"The songs that cut out on the IPOD are all ones that were saved with the RealAudio format. "
That is the problem. That format is not compatible with the iPod.
You need to convert them to a format that is.

  • Anyone having problems loading music purchased from amazon onto ipods?

    Anyone having problems lately uploading music purchased from amazon onto your ipods?  this is a recent experience for me.  I had been able to do it until a few weeks ago.

    There have been a handful of report over the last couple of weeks for other users who have starting getting error messages when trying to sync their Amazon purchases to their iPod from iTunes.
    Most of them are getting a -50 error.  If that is the case for you, see this older thread for a couple of solutions that worked for some other users.

  • I downloaded the new itunes and updated my ipod 3, anyone else having problems getting music library to sinc to ipod?

    I am having trouble sincing my music library to my ipod touch 3g after the update, is anyone else having this problem?

    Read this Apple Support Article on handling error 69  it may be a bad corrupted file.
    Or worst case the iPod Hardisk need to be check, as you are saying that it is taking longer than usual.
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • Transfering music library from Iphone to new pc

    How can I transfer all of my music from my iphone to my new pc. I have only found out how to transfer the music purchased in the itunes store.

    Itunes purchased music is all you can transfer. The iphone is NOT a back up device.
    The music sync is one way -computer to iphone.
    You should move the music from your old computer to the new one, then sync.
    You can use your back up copy of your music to do this.

  • Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

    I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?        

    Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
    That "itunes file from the old PC"?  Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
    All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
    That's on the iPod, correct?  Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC?  Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
    This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers.  See the section called External drive.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
    There are many steps, but this is a summary.  (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder.  (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive.  (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive).  When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
    If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.

  • Transfering itunes library from old computer to new using ipod

    I'm transfering my library from an old computer to a new one using my 5th gen ipod. but when everything is transfered onto the ipod the storage space only shows "other" space is used, no music or video space. And after its transfered to the new computer, nothing shows in Itunes but i can see some file info if i go into the itunes file in "my computer".

    Hi mbw34,
    Are using disk mode? Probably yes.
    Well, do this:
    First disable disk use, unchecking the box "Enable Disk Use". The sync all your library using the "normal" mode.
    Connect the iPod to the new computer and message will appear, informing that the iPod is synced with a different computer.
    To continue, please read this article on my website.
    Hope this helps!

    How do I transfer my whole music library from my ipod to my brand new macbook pro?

    You should be able to transfer iTunes purchases as described on the page that you posted from i.e. File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g CDs) then if you don't have them on a backup that you can copy them from, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page that might be able to copy them from the iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
