Separate Start/Stop times for a single song file

I am trying to create some playlists for different moods e.g. calm, happy, upbeat etc.
Now, my problem is this. I have some songs that have more than one mood within them, and I would like to set different start/stop times for the one song file.
I would like to be able to set different start/stop times in each playlist and not affect the start/stop times for the file in the music library.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

The only way to do this is to make a duplicate copy of the song for your playlist and adjust the times for the duplicate.

  • How do I change the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

    How do I chnage the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

    I don't think you can in iTunes.
    Multiple editing in Get Info does not offer an option to change start/stop times.

  • Manually specifying start/stop times for video

    When we insert a video into a Keynote presentation, we can adjust the start/stop times of the video (inspector -> Quicktime icon). The problem here is that it's very difficult to accurately adjust the sliders due to the small slider. Is there a way to extend the slider so that it's longer, or simply a way to manually specify the start/stop times?

    Unfortunately, there is not. Your best bet it to use Quicktime or iMovie to trim the movie down to just what you want to show and then you don't have to worry about setting it in Keynote. This will also save some file size as you don't have the video that you don't want to show taking up space in the Keynote file.

  • How to Get Duration, Start/Stop Time of Each Instance (Run)

    Can someone tell me how to get the Duration, as well as Execution Start/Stop times for a given run (Instance) of a Report, stored in History?
    For example, on the BO Server in InfoView, I can browse the History of each report, and for each run, I can click the details and view the Duration and Start/Stop times for that run. How do I get that information in Java via the SDK?
    Neither IProcessInfo nor ISchedulingInfo seems to have this information.
    For example, ISchedulingInfo's Start/Stop Times are for general scheduling (when the report will stop being scheduled). That is not what I want.
    I need specific data for a given completed Run, namely its duration and time endpoints. Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    fetch the instance of the run like this
    IInfoObjects list = infoStore.query(
    "select SI_STARTTIME , SI_ENDTIME From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where SI_ID=<instanceIDtoMeasure>"
    IInfoObject element = list.get(0);
    Date startTime = element.properties().getDate("SI_STARTTIME");
    System.out.println("Beginn "+ startTime);
    Date endTime = element.properties().getDate("SI_ENDTIME" );
    System.out.println("End " + endTime);
    long time = ((endTime.getTime() - startTime.getTime()) / 1000);
    System.out..println("Runtime " + time + " sec");
    You can get the nstanceIDtoMeasure form your Report with getInstances
    Enjoy

  • Single song file size limit?

    What is the size limit, if any, for a single song file?
    Thanks!

    No Jim, you can't do it that way. Only when you import from CD's the files will be imported according to the setting in iTunes preferences. If you import a file from you computerdisk it will (try to) import your AIFF-file as is. You can convert files within iTunes, but that file has to be a part of the iTunes-library already. In your case it isn't.
    So you need to convert it outside iTunes and then import the ALAC-file to into iTunes. You said you made this file in Logic Pro. I guess Logic pro can do this for you. You load the file in Logic Pro and export it as ALAC file again. Then you import that new file in iTunes and I bet you're in business.
    Good Luck.

  • If I have manually set "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for songs, and my hard drive is backed up in Time Machine, when files/songs are transferred on new hard drive, will my "Start Time" "Stop Time" options be there?

    My Macbook Pro will be going in for reimaging and my hard drive will be wiped, I want to know if all my iTunes preferences will be copied if I have backed them up on Time Machine. Specifically, if I have set certain "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for my songs, and I copy my iTunes library, will these "Start Time" and "Stop Time" options remain or will I have to manually set them one by one once again? I need a reply ASAP! Thanks so much!

    As far as I'm aware the start & stop times are stored in the library database, not the media files. If you backup/restore/transfer the whole library then the settings are included. If you create a complete copy of your iTunes folder on another drive you can connect to that copy by holding down option/alt as you start iTunes so you can check that everything is working properly before you send the Macbook away.

  • How do I tell what songs have altered Start/Stop times (Under "Get Info-Options") without opening every single song.

    Sometimes, for whatever reason, I'll change the Start/Stop times of my songs, and I'll forget which ones I've done this to. For me, this can be a hassle, due to the number of songs I have, and the actual amount I listen to my iPod. I'll admit that it's my fault, that when I'm making a ringtone or simply shortening a song temporarily, I'll almost definitely forget to change that shortened time back after I'm done. But that moment when you're listening to a song and it abruptly ends, especially in a place I don't have access to iTunes (and in that situation I usually forget before I get home, exacerbating the problem even further), it can be the most annoying thing ever for me. I don't want to deal with it any longer, though, so here's my question:
    How can I view which songs have altered Start/Stop times, without needing to view the Info for each individual song? I can't select all songs and then select "Get Info", because if I do that it won't even show the Option. The only reason I'm here is because I tried to figure it out myself, for weeks on end, and have returned no valid options for solution. So can someone please help me?

    Customize the Finder window toolbar, adding the Path icon to it. Select an item and click on the Path icon or, as you already know, add path to the window. There's also copypath.app available via the App Store.

  • Why can't I set a stop time for a song in itunes?

    I would like to shorten a song that I purchased on itunes.  When I set the stop time in options it continues to play to the end of the song and will not accept the shortened time I have set.  Why can I not shorten the stop time on a song?

    I had a similar problem, with strange times appearing in the stop time field after I entered it.
    I eventually realised that the song must not be playing, or even selected for playing, when you attempt the stop time edit. This is counter-intuitive; both of us wanted to edit the stop time for a song we were playing.
    What worked for me was to first select another song and start it playing. Then select the song whose stop time you want to edit, and make the edit.
    I hope that solves your problem.
    However, a warning: Start and stop times do not seem to propagate to the home shared library, e.g., accessed by an iPad, or Apple TV; they only work when playing music directly from iTunes.

  • In Month View, showing start and stop times for appointments

    Hi, I want to show both the start and stop times for all appointments in my iCal Month view and have not been able to figure out how to do that. Any suggestions? - Dave

    I would also like to know how to do this if possible. I want to print month-view schedules with start and end times for events. Thought I'd bump this up to see if anyone has any ideas.

  • Way to Erase All Start/Stop Time Data?

    I used a DJ plugin called BPMer to load the BPMs into all my MP3s. It had an option "Optimize Start and Stop Times." This helps the program skip ambient intros of songs in order to beatmatch, mix and crossfade more efficiently. The only problem is that the information is retained under Get Info:Options:Start/Stop Times even if the plugin is turned off. It is stored in the ID3 info. I am wondering how to universally delete this information or reset it to default because I do not feel like going to every song individually to reset it (I'd have to do it about 6000 times). I tried selecting multiple songs, but the Start/Stop does not show up under Options when multiple tracks are selected.
    Also don't suggest to re-run the BPMer program with the box unchecked for optimize start/stop times. I tried it. I figured out how to make BPMer not edit the times in the future, but it won't erase or overwrite the old start/stop info on tracks I already used it on.
    Sort of a weird problem, but any ideas to save me from the nightmare of doing this individually 6000 times are greatly appreciated.

    Doug Adams has a script over at his great site that should help with what you're trying to do.

  • Mutlitple start/stop times

    I'm trying to create several playlists that contain the same songs. I would like to specify different start and stop times in the get info/options tab for each of the songs in each playlist. Does anyone know if this is possible? From what I can see, once a start/stop time is specified, it applies to all instances of the song across playlists.
    Thanks.

    Start/Stop time is tagged to the actual song file, not the play list. Sorry, but this can't be done.

  • Specific Start/End Times for Playlist Music?

    I'm someone that dabbles in music production and i like to work with samples. I know that in iTunes you can set the Start Times and End Times of songs so that you may skip a rediculously long intro or just euthanize a song whose ending drags on for minutes at a time. (I'm looking at you, The Mars Volta.)
    Anyway, when it comes to producing samples, sometimes when i listen to music i'll hear this one five-second piece that would make a great loop, and i write down the song name and the exact location of that interval. In iTunes, I attempted to create a "Samples" playlist with these songs in it, along with their Stop/Start Times sliced down exactly to that one sample. it's a great way to keep a log of what i plan to use in the future and keep good song ideas. Unfortunately, the Start/Stop Times set in iTunes are global, and affect the song no matter what Playlist is it on. Is this avoidable, or am i stuck? (Apple, please add this in your next iTunes release)
    -Dave

    Dave,
    You're stuck.
    Unless you want to duplicate the song and then make your adjustments.
    If it were me, I'd put the track I'm interested into GarageBand and cutting it down to just the bit I want and the send that version back to iTunes.

  • Music Start/Stop Times with iTunes Match causes iOS Music App to glitch

    I set Start Time and Stop Time values for my music in iTunes to crop off non-music parts of tracks, but the Start/Stop Times cause the iOS Music app to glitch out when the track streams via iTunes Match. If a track has a Start Time set, the track will get stuck, and repeat the first fraction of a second of the track over and over, seemingly for the amount of the Start Time. And if the Stop Time is set, the NEXT track will glitch out. For example, if a track has a Start Time of 0:10, the track will glitch out for at least 10 seconds before the track actually starts playing. Sometimes the track never stops advances beyond 0:00.
    I think the problem caused by the fact that iTunes Match is streaming the entire track so the Music app just freaks out for the duration of the Start/Stop Times.
    Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a workaround?
    For now, I've just been searching my 22,000 song library for tracks with Start/Stop Times and exporting new hard-cropped files, but this is tedious, takes up hard drive space, and degrades the audio with lossy-to-lossy double-compression.

    I'm having the exact same problem and from my research I believe that the old process of being able to turn ITM off, sync your music to your iPad, and then turn ITM back on no longer work.  You are correct that going through this process wipes out your music.  It's only on IOS 6.0 on my Gen 3 ipad because on my gen 1 iPad, I can't upgrade to IOS 6.0 and the old process still works fine under IOS 5.0. 
    In order to get around this I created a massive playlist (a superset of all my other playists) that I downloaded by using the download button in order to get local copies of my music on my ipad 3.0. 
    It seems to be working for now but I can't force my ipad to keep all that music local anymore.  If I download other music or movies in the future (and become low on space) Apple makes the decision about what to remove from my local copy in order to fit the new content on the device. 

  • Reduce/Eliminate the start up time for a batch job

    I'm looking for ideas on how I might be able to modify either my jobs, workflow or data flow in an effort to reduce the "start up" time that I'm encountering.
    Currently I have a batch job we execute several hundred times a day. One of the parameters we pass to this job is a file path. The data flow reads a flat text file in this file path, processes the data through several transforms, and writes a flat text file back into the file path.
    The actual processing time varies with the number of records being processed -- as one would expect.
    However, even for the smallest - single record - input file the job takes between 40 and 50 seconds to complete. If I watch the trace file during this time it appears that 95% of this time is spent getting ready to run the job. The actual processing is almost instantaneous.
    Is there anything that I can look at changing in order to improve the overall performance of these jobs?
    I should mention that I am aware of setting up real time jobs, and how they would not require this "start up" time for each job submitted. However this jobs we process could between 1 to 1,000,000 records. Passing that many records in a single web service call does not seem reasonable. I would deal with issue on the submission side and then the potential timeout issue when waiting on the response -- which could also be quite large.

    Thanks Michael --
    I must admit I'm a bit lost when it comes to the issue of codepages.
    Is there any documentation you could refer me to with regard to setting the correct codepage for the data sources and targets?
    Also, from the trace log I see the following statement:
    Changed engine runtime locale <eng_us.cp1252> to <Unicode (UTF-16)> because data flow <DF_Suppression> contains a transform that requires processing with the Unicode (UTF-16) code page.
    Other than the data source and data targets I do not see any option to set, or change, the codepage within any of transforms that I am using. (URAC, Name Cleanse, Query, Case, Match transforms are used)
    Right now my source and targets are set to "default", which would seem to need to be changed. Where is the "default" set?
    Sorry for so many questions about this.

  • Start/stop time

    I downloaded an app a while ago to automatically retrieve song lyrics from the internet, but that one didn't work. But it randomly added start/stop times to hundreds, if not thousands of my songs, and whenever I have my iPod on shuffle, sometimes I don't get to hear the whole song. I could go through every song in iTunes and fix it manually, but that would take days. Is there a way to get rid of this all at once, or does it have to be done individually?
    Thanks

    Sorry...I was looking at the volume adjustment. Don't know what I was thinking.
