Script to play 15-30 seconds of each song

I have the pearlyrics widget and would like to play the first 15-30 seconds of each song in order to get the lyrics. I know that I have seen a script to do this, but I can't find it anymore. Thanks in advance.

This one?

  • Playing first 5 seconds of each song in my library

    Is there a way to do this? I know some players allow this feature. Thanks.

    it seems like it is more difficult than it should be. going song by song would be tedious, and when you select multiple songs, itunes doesn't allow you to change the stop and start time the way you can if you only select one song. i thought the option would be available using the automater, but i ran into the same problem. there has to be a way to do it though, if i find it i'll let you know

  • I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and won't play

    I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and wont play the rest of the song.

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
    Here's the link for the safeboot

    Hi Cmathews,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You might want to check out Knowledge Base Document #93453 which covers Can't Import or Play Music from CD in iTunes for Windows.
    Since this is the iPod Nano Forum, and you are having problems with iTunes; I bet the iTunes for Windows Forum will help more. You can search for previous posts as well as post there with questions about iTunes for Windows.

  • Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song

    Hi ... i'm really struggling with this problem!
    whenever i import a song from a CD, itunes only imports a few seconds of each song and moves onto the next .. so on & so forth. It only take a few second to completely import the entire CD.
    However the 'imported' songs don't play ... itunes just whizzes thru all the songs in 2 sec. the time duration for each song is '789:57:13'.
    this has occurred a few times in the past but seems to be fixed by a restarting my mac or reloading itunes from the .dmg file. which can be very annoying to say the least!
    I need a more long term solution! any assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Cheers

    I'm importing from 'factory' CDs .... i've deleted Itunes and reloaded it again and it seems to be ok, but from experience its not gonna last ...... the last time i had to shut down and restart 4 times to get it to work!
    Frustrating ....... not to say the least!
    Help!

  • HT1725 I downloaded a full cd album from iTunes it said it had been downloaded but when I listened to them it only played a small part of each song then it stopped. What do i do? I don't want to have to download them again. Thanks

    I downloaded a full cd album from iTunes it said it had been downloaded but when I listened to them it only played a small part of each song then it stopped. What do i do? I don't want to have to download them again. Thanks

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Only a few seconds of each song gets imported from cd.

    only a few seconds of each song gets impoted, when im importing from a cd. why? how can i fix? it has bin doing that since i got itunes5. someone please help!

    hi y'all!
    it's worth checking through the usual suspects first. (the upgrade may have "outstripped" your current hardware/OS/driver setup.) Start with:

  • ITune jumps to the song being played at the start of each song - make it st

    When I'm listening and working iTunes in another section of iTunes, the display jumps to the song being played at the start of each song. I then have to find where I was working at. How do I make it stop jumping to the song being played?

    Thank you but it did not work. I changed it to selected item but I still bounce back to the song being played at the beginning of each song. I find this very annoying! Thanks but it did not work.. I did not mention but I'm using iTunes 7.

  • Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song.  Help.

    I just loaded up my Itunes software, and tried importing some of my CDs into my Itunes library. But it only transfers a few seconds of each song before moving on to the next one.
    Does anyone know how to correct this? I've reinstalled the software once already, but nothing changed.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem on 1 PC but it imports OK on Itunes installed on my laptop.

  • ITunes is only playing the first few seconds of each song

    Hi,
    I've searched high and low and cannot seem to find a resolution to my problem. When I'm listening to many of the songs in my library, iTunes will just stop playing and move to the next song after about 10-15 seconds. If I slide the progress bar at the top, the song plays from that point on for a few more seconds and skips. It seems that many people have had this trouble throughout the last few years, but in each of the instances where I've found someone talking about it, there is never a solution. The discussion just goes cold. I've tried checking the start/stop boxes for an affected song, but they won't stay checked. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Yes this seems to have cropped up a few times recently without a definite solution.
    Assuming that the files play Ok in another player and you have checked that the start stop boxes look OK in get Info, here a couple of things you could try.
    Rebuild your library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    I would modify the method as follows, drag iTunes Library.itl to the desktop as well as iTunes Library.xml. Then you can put it back if this doesn't work.
    Then try deleting your preference files, this causes iTunes to create new ones with default values so any custom preferences are lost.
    First make hidden files visible in Folder Options>>View
    Delete iTunesPrefs.xml in:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    And
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes

  • Plays only 4 seconds of each video!? :/ (Vision

    Hey, guys..
    this problem appeared a few days ago. Each time I try to upload a video to my Vision:M it says that it is 4 seconds long and Zen plays only 4 seconds of this video.. even though it weights over 80MB and when I choose 'Properties' on Media File Manager it says Duration:'0:03:40' for the first time, but after few tries it changes to 0:00:04 :/ I haven't had this problem before.. now I can't upload any video.
    Could you please help me solve it's!
    Thanks in advance..

    Im having a similar problem, all my songs are skipping after 30/40 sec of play, any solution?
    Thanks,

  • HT1386 Approximately 15 songs and one iBook I recently purchased did not sync properly, I tried doing it three times, only 20 seconds of each song would play, and the book is blank! Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    Approximately 15 songs and one book I recently  purchased did not sync properly. Once I hooked
    It up to my iTunes, they will only play 10 seconds from her song, and the book is blank. Any suggestions?

    OK. I managed to fix this. That's what I did:
    1. In Finder, make copy the audio files that won't synchronize.
    2. Rename the files e.g. appending a "2" at the end of the name.
    3. Import the files in iTunes (drag and drop from Finder into iTunes' Library)
    4. Rename the album in iTunes (e.g. also append a "2" at the end of the album's name)
    5. Put the new files in a Playlist and synchronize
    After that I removed the original files and changed the names back so that the copy is like the original was before.
    I suppose the important thing is to make iTunes "think" that those are new files. Note that I did remove the files from iTunes and add them back without renaming or copying and it did not work. I supposse that the copying and/or renaming is important.
    Hope this helps.

    Will

  • I downloaded an album and the first few songs only play to 15 seconds of the song then the skip to the next one. I cant listen to them past those few seconds. What do I do to listen to the whole song?

    So I downloaded the Ellie Goulding album and the first few songs only play up to 15 seconds of the song and then skip to the next one. It wont let me drag the scroller to a further point in the song because when I do it doesnt play and goes to the next one. But it isn't on the other songs. just the first 3 or 4. what do I do?I could rebuu the songs that would be a waste. I have a PC so i am having a hard time calling for support because I dont know the serial number.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • 5th gen iPod will only play 1st few seconds of certain songs

    Have a 5th gen ipod, 30gb, with about 21gb on it. Its only recently starting to play the 1st 10-15 seconds of certain songs and then it'll skip to the next. It's happening to purchased songs as well as cd imports. Seems to be getting worse, anyone experienced anything similar??

    I guess there is not a solution.
