Rating a song causes it to sound better

Has anyone else noticed that rating some non-rated songs can cause the sound to change, for the better? Just play a non-rated song, then rate it and listen carefully as the sound quality improves while the song is playing.
This bug exists in the new 7.0.1 version too.

I noticed this after updating to 7.0.1.
It sounds like the volume drops after the first few seconds of a song, and will go back up a second or so after rating or re-rating it. It's really annoying.
I thought it was something to do with sound enhancer, but it happens whether or not that's on.

  • Song on youtube sounds better than the on bought on iTunes

    Hi,
    Having just migrated to iTM, I was having a listen to some songs when I noticed one song - Gigi's 'Bale Washintu' - sounded distorted on the chorus (around 3:45).
    To doublecheck it wasn't my speakers or soundcard I played the youtube version and it sounded better than the one on my iTM.
    To doublecheck doublecheck I bought the original song again from iTunes and STILL the youtube version sounded less distorted.
    Can the Youtube version be better sounding then a 256kbps itunes download??

    Keep in mind, if you bought this from Apple or an Apple Store, you only have 14 days from initial purchase to return it for a full refund (in the USA at least).
    If it is past that 14 day window, you will have to sell it privately and then buy a different machine.
    If you bought from an Apple authorized reseller, then be sure to check what their return period and polciy is.

  • Which would sound better????

    I was going to transfer my PCI Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live 5.1 card to my new PC which will be running on a MSI K4M4-V mboard.
    Should I transfer the card or will the onboard sound off the mboard, ie VIA1617A Codec 5.1 Channel AC'97 software audio, sound better???
    Thanks
    Richard

    I agree with osnavi. I had a sound blaster audigy in my computer when I first built it. Thought everything sounded great. Then I had some hardware conflicts and the sound card was to blame, so I removed it for troubleshooting purposes and forgot to put it back in. I started playing one of my games and I was astonished... The onboard was actually able to produce lower bass and in general sounded clearer.
    As you have a different board than I do try both. Get a song that has extremes in both high and low sound and see which you like better. One thing as both ironcatt and kafkacell mentioned is in using the onboard sound, the CPU is used more, but with a seperate sound card some pressure is taken off of the CPU because the card is able to handle it. Performance in games is where you will notice most of the difference. But I have never even thought about going back to that card (although I am eyeing the new X-Fi cards).
    Good Luck

  • How can i stop iTunes from Auto rating my songs??

    How can i stop iTunes from auto rating my songs in my library?? I have my library very organized and 90% of the time when i listen to music i play "My Top Rated" Playlist on shuffle. The only time i give stars ratings to my songs is for my favourite songs which i give 5 star and every other song is just left with no stars. For some reason iTunes is giving songs i have never played or i dont like 5 Stars and rewining my playlists. I have tried erasing all the stars from my entire library and since doing this a week ago, again (for the 4th time in a year) having a library with not 1 song with any star ratings, all of a sudden i now have 329 random songs with 5 stars again??????
    This is really getting to me as i love my music and love iTunes and everything apple but seriously there has to be away to stop this so i can have my old playlists back!
    Thanks hope some one can help

    One reason itunes will start "at regular intervals" will be if you have an iphone that has sync via wifi enabled. I had the problem following an upgrade to iOS 5.

    Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

    Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

    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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.      

  • With Soundtrack Pro how, please, can I audio from a phone call sound better?

    How can I make audio recorded over a telephone sound better... removed hum and clips but it still sounds, well awful. Is there anyway to make it sound, you know, better?

    I definitely do not have an unsubscribe button - I've repeatedly tried different variations of Delete, Shift-Delete, Option-Delete, Control-Delete and Command-Delete, have also tried highlighting the individual podcasts and the "parent" podcast.
    I must be doing something wrong, but for the life of me I can't see what. It should be a simple procedure.

  • TS1362 I downloaded two cd's last night and I am un able to play some songs cause it tells me I am this computer is unauthorized to play some songs,I did what it said about going to store to get authorized and still will not work,not happy at all!

    I downloaded two cd's last night and I am un able to play some songs cause it tells me I am this computer is unauthorized to play some songs,I did what it said about going to store to get authorized and still will not work,not happy at all!  I NEED HELP OR MY MONEY BACK NOW!

    There seems to be an occasional issue with downloads from the store. They prompt for authorization when they are in fact corrupt/incomplete in some fashion. Try deleting the problem tracks (do not hide from iTunes in the cloud), close iTunes and reopen, go to iTunes Store > Qucklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer. Select a few tracks to download then click the icon that appears at the top-right of the iTunes window.. Untick the box that reads Allow simultaneous downloads. Proceed with the rest of your eligible purchases.
    If you still have a problem use the Report a problem links in your account history to contact the iTunes Store support team.

  • List of apps causing disappearing text sounds?

    I have read that some apps are whats causing text alert sounds to disappear, as these programs somehow get info thru text messages and they therefore disable sounds.
    So far what i have gathered is
    Weatherbug
    AIM
    Loopt
    i have none of these installed on my phone but the text sounds are still disappearing, i just deleted MLB at bat and ill keep deleting apps until the sounds stay. Im assuming its only programs that update info everytime you log in such as news and weather programs etc. Anyone have anything else to add to the list?

    Hi guys.
    I haven't installed Os x 7.8 yet as i came accross this list today and it really made my eyes pop at the number of apps having issues with ML. That being said, I read a heap of people ******** about their apps not working and i sort of got ****** 'cause it took me 2 minutes to find this list, cost me nothing and I'm not angry at anyone except those who click before thinking and ripping up apples rep with disinformation or simply commenting before even taking a look at the tech specs for installing a new OS on their machines.
    You two obviously don't fall into that category by looking at your conversation here!
    Here's the link i found to a current known Incompatible apps list:
    http://roaringapps.com/search:incompatible
    I don't know how, but if this was at the top of the subject page of discussions regarding problems with ML apps not working, alot of time would be saved by none of us having to textually babysit over-enthusiastic braindead consumers who love to develop a bad opinion after the fact of making an uninformed upgrade decision.
    typical pop consumer daily online routine .......

    Sorry bout the rant, i guess those comments really got to me,
    or was it blind stupidity for me to continue reading them??

  • The volume on the new iPad sounds better

    Did apple improved the speaker, I seemed to have missed that in the keynote if they did. But I noticed that the new iPad seems to have better beat, louder than the iPad2, did anyone else notice this?

    The sound was tweaked in the iOS5.1 software update to sound better on all iPads.

  • If I do a normal library and playlist backup, will that also backup song rating and song played count?

    Hi everyone, just wondering if when I do the routine backup straight from the iTunes menu and I've exported my playlist and library.xml file. I've also backed up the entire /Program Files/iTunes folder. Will they also backup my 'Song Rating' and 'Song Played Count' for my playlist? Thanks.

    Backup from iTunes has gone. The .xml file isn't enough to rebuild the library completely. The .itl file is the crucial one, though you need all the media too.

  • Re-arranging spaced-out songs causes iTunes to lock up.

    This is not so much a "problem," but just a sort of circumstance with the drag-and-drop method of iTunes playlists that I stumbled onto. I'll step you through what I did, but first, the issue:
    On regular playlists, dragging and dropping multiple separated songs causes iTunes to freeze up, forcing a CtrlAltDel closure of the program.
    Here's what I mean:
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/MICHAE2414/playlist.jpg
    As soon as I let go of the mouse under those exact circumstances as seen in the picture -- a regular playlist with spaced-out songs selected for re-arrangement under the numbered column -- iTunes locks up on me.
    Now, I realize that this is simply a user error since tracks shouldn't be dragged if selected like that, but it's unfortunate that the interface allows this and causes the application to crash without response.
    This bug has been reproducible for me across any playlist, so long as the first ("1,2,3,etc") column is chosen and tracks are dragged about in the above fashion.
    Can anyone reproduce this error? If so, then it's definitely a software issue. I'm currently using iTunes 6.0.3.5, but I'm assuming this has been present in many past versions as well -- possibly across the Mac platform also.
    Windows XP AMD 2800+ 1.60GHz, 256MB RAM, 40GB HD

    I found some other people having the same problem and I think I figured it out:
    Go to "Start" in Windows (I am assuming you are running Windows) and hit "Run..."
    Type in "cmd" to get you into DOS command mode and then when the DOS command prompt window comes up type "NETSH WINSOCK RESET" and hit your "Enter" button.  Then reboot.  My phone just got done syncing and backing up and everything is back to normal.
    Apparently there was a recent Windows update that caused issues with iTunes and Winsock and they won't play nice together until you do this.
    I found this information in the forums and there were a couple of other things people suggested like clearing your sync history and backups in Preferences, but, some of the later posts said that it was the Winsock thing that did the trick.  Worked for me.  If it doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll try to find the full procedure and send it to you.

  • Smart Playlists - limiting by My Rating of songs

    OK - this is probably a really simple question but it's really frustrating me.
    I'm trying to create a smart playlist by limiting songs that have a certain rating. Sounds simple enough.
    However, in the options box when you select My Rating as the criteria, I can't type anything in the box next to it to say what rating you want to limit it by - if you see what I mean. Any suggestions.

    You don't type in the box; you click in the box to enable how many stars you want. Give that a try and see if that works for you.

  • "My Rating" in iTunes causes crash

    Before you all say I need to go to the iTunes area, I've been there. Most of the discussions are how to get and move songs from one computer to another, etc..
    I believe this is a system problem, not iTunes.
    Here goes:
    I don't use the "My Rating" feature, but sometimes when I go to the get info menu, I will accidentally pass over the Rating with my pointer. This causes an instant crash of iTunes.
    The crash log indicates it could be a font problem.
    I use a font management tool(Linotype)because of a large amount of fonts.
    The fonts I have opened in the system are as follows:
    .Keyboard
    Courier
    Geneva
    Helvetica
    LastResort
    LucidaGrande
    Monaco
    Symbol
    Times
    Zapf Dingbats
    This condition has existed for several updates, so I'm not blaming it on that.
    I have no other problems.
    Someone have an idea of what font I could be missing?
    Here's a piece of the log:
