Problems with songs skipping in ITunes Library

I recently transferred my Itunes from an old PC based computer to a new PC based laptop (GateWay M Series - Windows Vista). After that I upgraded to Itunes 8.1. I am now experiencing the problem with songs in my Library skipping after about 5 seconds into the song. I have my library sorted alphabetically, sometimes after the 5 seconds it skips down 10-15 songs before it lands on one that it plays all the way through. In one instance it played all the way through on 3 songs from the same album - only to start skipping after 5 seconds into the 4th song. It doesn't happen on every song. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to the types of songs this happens with - some of them were purchased songs, some were from CDs. I tried uninstalling the Library and then reinstalling - figuring that my library was corrupted. But - it is still doing it - only now it is doing it on different songs than before. Again no rhyme or reason. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what I can do to fix this!! My husband and son were able to transfer their libraries from the old PC to their new PC laptops and they haven't had this problem with their libraries!

Having a problem with eBooks in my iTunes library.

As the title says, I'm having some problems with the iTunes library not reflecting what's actually on the disk.
I add the ebook and it seems to add ok. The file gets consolidated into /mymusic/books under the author correctly, but the book is missing from the library. The book is in ePub format, and seems to have the right file extension and shows up as a file of "ePub" type in windows explorer.
Any ideas? Is there a way to re-build the library or a portion of it?

Problems with Song Info in iTunes

I have a lot of music in my iTunes library that I've collected from friends or imported from old CD's. There are multiple instances in my library where iTunes treats songs from the same album as being from two different (but identical albums). In other words, I'll have an entire single album's worth of songs in the library, but iTunes will list the artist as having two albums in the library rather than one, and this will be reflected in cover flow, showing the same cover art twice in a row.
All the song info matches up...how can I fix this?

Check a few things:
Make sure the SORT ALBUM is the same for all copies, also make sure that all tracks of the album have the same disc numbering. So if one set is "Disc 1 of 1" make sure the others say the same thing.
Those are the most likely culprits, but go and compare the "two albums" side by side. Select Get Info, and go back and forth making sure all of the album info and album sort info is exactly the same. That's most likely your problem.

Sound problems with songs bought of itunes.

i just updated to 9.0.1 and 10.5.8 and now all my 256 kbit m4a files bought of itunes sound very strange, somehow muffled or phasey.
i can tell it pretty well as i'm comparing different formats of my own song.
1. my original master .wav file : sounds normal
2. a 320 kbit mp3 bought of beatport (DJ download shop) : sounds normal
3. a 256 kbit .m4a bought in the itunes store : sounds muffled and phasey now.
if i drag the same file to the desktop and listen to it with quick look it sounds normal again , so it's definitely an issue with itunes.
i don't have any options activated in the settings which could affect the sound and i'm listening in a professional studio environment.
i found another topic regarding this problem but it's in the itunes for windows section.
i wonder why there aren't any other people complaining about it cause it really easy to notice.
nobody else seeing this on a mac ?
----

sorry for the triple post, but earlier that day i had a strange error message, numbered -1. I looked for info on it but i could find none. Whenever i tried to start iTunes this error would occur. I eventually solved it, but could that affect the songs I bought earlier? This was the first time I had trouble syncing songs to my iPod.

How do you move songs from the 'iTunes library to 'Jenni's iPod Selection'?

I have 2 folders with songs in them: iTunes Library and Jenni's iPod Selection. Whenever I download music, they are automatically saved in the 'iTunes Library' folder. But when I hook up my iPod to download them into the iPod, the songs are downloaded from the 'Jenni's iPod Selection' folder. Most of the songs are in the iTunes Library folder... Can someone help me?

Song that are imported from CD or downloaded into iTunes are always going to be in iTunes music folder. Can't change this.
Any reason you don't want this and you have music stored in "Jenni's iPod Selection"?
Why not add it all to the iTunes music folder and create a playlist called "Jenni's iPod Selection".

When i play a song from my itunes library, there is a short "buzzing" sound about every 20-30 seconds. I had the problem before and thought it was fixed after verifying that itunes was my default player. Any ideas to fix the problem now??

Ios 7 synced songs from my itunes library that I didnt want on my phone and I don't know how to delete them. On my phone, next to each of those songs, theres a cloud with an arrow going through it. How do I delete those songs?

ios 7 synced songs from my itunes library that I didnt want on my phone and I don't know how to delete them. On my phone, next to each of those songs, theres a cloud with an arrow going through it. How do I delete those songs? I can't delete the songs from my computer because they aren't in a specific playlist, they just got randomly added to my songs on my phone.

I just found out that I am having the same problem!! It is driving me nuts. Now I know why I am running out of space on my iPhone. It's ghosting the others songs, until you see them when you go to sync. Hopefully, someone has an answer. I have gone through every HELP subject and discussion board I could find on the situation.

HT1349 some songs on msome songs on my itunes library were bought with an old email address. I hy itunes library were bought with an old email address. I have since cancelled said email address. I would like to know how to listen to these songs again. Tha

Hello. Certain songs in my itunes library were purchased a few years ago with a now discontinued email address. I am not able to listen to them any longer because I have update my itunes library, and purchased songs from itunes with my current email address. Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you.

I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone?

How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone? Like music from my library I want to use invGarageBand to record over.

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1.

TS1424 I have 2 artists - beyonce and celine dion - songs in my itunes library on my computer but when I try and download to my mp3 player it says I do not have media rights. Only these 4 songs have that problem.

I have 2 artists - Beyonce and Celine Dion - their purchased songs in my ITunes library cannot be imported to my MP3 player. My other 200 songs have no problems. Get a message that there are no "Media Rights". I have no idea how to solve.

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

Problems with song's names in iTunes Store

So, I have a problem with song's names in iTunes Store on my iPhone 6+ 128. with 8.2
You can see it on attached screens.
I tried to change the font size and erase the phone and then install it again by default. The problem manifests itself on 6+ and didn't on my iPad with the same program version.

That's really curious. Sorry I don't have anything else by way of potential solutions to offer, but it may be worth contacting Apple about this one.

All songs in my iTunes library are listed twice. I have two copies of my library in two different locations. How do I make iTunes work with one copy of my library?

That is the way the iphone works.
You need to copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
