Selecting  only a part of a song

I have a recording, on CD, of a vocal recital in which 2 of my kids participated. Unfortunately, it was recorded as one long track instead of individual songs. Is there a way to extract just the parts that I would like to have in my iTunes library? Or maybe this is a Garage Band question.

If you click Get Info on your track you can go to Options and choose when the track should start and stop playing (ie. the part with your children singing). You can then choose Advanced from the iTunes menu and convert your selection to mp3/AAC. By doing this you will create another track with just the part you want to hear. You can repeat the process if there are other songs you want, you just need to know the start and end times in your original, hour-long track. Hope this helps in some way.

  • Any idea why itunes is only downloading part of each song I purchase?

    Any idea why itunes is only downloading part of each song I purchase?

    Not really, a bug I suspect...
    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Selecting the middle part of a song to add to my movie.

    I expect that this question has been asked before but my quick search has not found answers.
    When I want to add music to the movie and I select a track from my audio link the whole tune is imported, which is OK if I want a the entire tune. I know that I can clip and discard the later part of the tune to suit the length required but how do I chop off some of the beginning if I want to have only a part of the song somewher in the middle of the recording?

    You'd have to do it prior to bringing the song file into your Project.  You could use Quick Time Pro, Garageband or the free open souce, Audacity.
    But by the time you pre-edit your song, you might as well have just done it in iMovie.
    If you find yourself using the same bits and pieces of songs in many projects it might be worth the time making the cut-down versions.
    Or, if you want to invest the money, Final Cut Pro X allows you to import audio files as events so that you just selcet what you want to add to a project.

  • How come itunes only downloaded part of a song?

    I bought a a couple of albums off of itunes and on one song (that i know of) on each album only plays part of the song. For example: if you have a 3:45 song it will only play 2:35 of the song and then it cuts off and moves onto the next song on the album. Can anybody help with this problem. I want my moneys worth. Thanks.

    Delete the tracks from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the tracks again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • TS1424 itunes only downloaded part of a song I purchased. How do I correct that?

    itunes only downloaded part of a song I purchased. How do I fix it or get a refund?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs for a few 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 it from your iTunes library and redownload it 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 it re-downloads 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

    Now it's Wednesday (2 days since I originally posted) & my iPhone appears to have finally restored all my apps, but it still says it's restoring from iCloud backup.  If all my apps are restored, what else could it be restoring?  IS it actually restoring anything at this point, or is it still in 'glitch' mode???  I've tried turning it off & back on & it continues to say that it's restoring.

  • TS1424 I only got part of a song, how do I get the whole song?

    I bought a song and only got part of it, how do I get the entire song?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • How do you use only a part of a song from itunes and add it to a movie project?

    After I've added video clips and photoes to a movie project, I can't figure out how to use only clips from itunes songs to play in specific parts of movie project...any ideas?

    The settings you use to play in iTunes do not get retained in other apps. What you can do is open Garage Band, drag the song from iTunes into a GB track, then edit the song as you like. You can even adjust the fade in/out exactly to the length and duration you want. When the song is trimmed, Share to iTunes, where it will become a separate song. Select that for your slideshow, or place it in an iTunes playlist and use the playlist for your slideshow.
    Regards.

  • HT1725 Only plays part of a song

    I purchased a song, and it says that the entire song is downloaded, but it only plays about 30 seconds before going to the next song.  This happens in both iTunes and on my iPod.  Any suggestions?

You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.

  • IPhone only pays part of a song then goes to another one

    I purchased an MP3 album on Amazon and it downloaded directly to my iTunes (I didn't even know that was possible!) Anyway, there are 8 songs on it an I really like one in particular. I've been listening to it alot over the past couple weeks and today when I clicked on it, it started in the middle of the song, played one or 2 verses then went to the next song on the list.
    I tried again and it did it again. While it's playing, if you click the back button, it will start over, but it still goes to the same place and stops.
    Obviously, when I get home from work, I'm going to try to re-download it to my iPhone. Does anyone know why it would do this? It only does it to this one song only.

    In case anyone was wondering, I found out what my problem was....sooo stupid...I had made the song in question a ringtone and when I synced the playlist, I put the ringtone version in it instead of the whole song. So when I played that song, it only played the 30 seconds I had edited out of it. Duh.

  • IPod Classic only syncs part of my songs, then grinds to a halt slowly

    Hi all,
    My iPod Classic (80 GB, almost 3 years old) and I are having beef. Every time I connect it to iTunes it starts syncing just fine, but then after X amount of songs it all of a sudden 'hangs' for a while and then pretends to continue at the gruelingly slow pace of about 1 song per 10 minutes. Eventually it stops all together and gives me the following error messages (excuse any bad translations, it's from Dutch):
    * "Copying to the iPod failed. Disk can't be read from or written."
    * "iTunes can't copy song X to the iPod because the file can't be read or written."
    It's a different song every time. After that iTunes completely freezes, the cursor beachballs to infinity and beyond and I have no choice but to just brutally disconnect the iPod. If I'm lucky there's some music on there, but not always. I now only sybc 1 measly playlist so he can manage it... Oh and the covers & songs are a mismatch (can be amusing when Stephen Fry's face shows up next to a QOTSA song).
    Also I've noticed that at the point of no return when the syncing slows, I hear some clicking and revving inside the iPod.. Tell me doctor, is the end nigh? But he's hardly three years old and my most beloved possession!
    Tried so far:
    * reverting to older iTunes
    * updating software
    * complete reset of the iPod

    I have a theory that it's tied to Snow Leapord and/or iTunes, probably something Apple did to disable Palm Pre phones from being able to sync with iTunes. I've never seen that confirmed though, so it might nto be. All I know is I've been having this problem for a long time. I just tried iTunes 9.2.1 on my Mac hoping Apple had finally fixed it, but alas they didn't.
    The solution I found? Get a PC and find an old version of iTunes. You give up some of the newer so-called features, and you've got to deal with a Windows box for your library, but at least the iPod will sync.
