Some songs I downloaded didn't download fully, and when I play them they cut out halfway through.

I downloaded a couple of albums, where most of the songs don't last as long as the time listed, and they sound like they cut out halfway through. For example, a track that itunes says is 7 minutes actually only lasts for about 3. Dragging the songs into song editing software reveals the songs really are shorter then they should be, my ipod isn't just skipping ahead.
How do I go about getting the songs in full / restoring them?

That is usually the result of a downloading problem.  You can download fresh copies (at no charge) by following this guide:  iTunes 10 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
In the unlikely event that the new copy has the same problem, it could be a defect in the store master file.  If that happens, you cannot correct it yourself, so report it to iTunes Customer Service.

  • Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them

    Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
    the songs are in the library

    I had the same problem when only about 5% of my 11,000 song collection on my Ipad would play after downloading OS 7.0.  I re synced my Ipad with ITunes on my MacBook selecting no music and all of the music was erased from the Ipad.  I then re-synched it selecting all music, all songs re-loaded, and all songs play just fine.

  • I have downloaded songs and when I play them they stop playing. I have to hit the sleep/wake button for the ipod to come on and hit play, then the song will continue playing where it left off

    Why are songs cutting out in the middle and my ipod shutting down?I have to hit the sleep/wake button to turn it back on and hit play again. Then, the songs will play from where it left off.

    I downloaded the flo rider song I cry and when it plays no sound comes out however other songs I ve purchase do play please help

    Will the media file play with Quicktime Player? If it will then it's an iTunes issue. If it won't then you need to delete the file and download it a second time.

  • HT1725 song cut out halfway through

    i recently purchase a song using itunes it shows it downloaded all the way but it cuts out halfway thorugh the song.
    anyone know how to make it download the entire song?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • HT1725 song cuts out halfway through

    I bought the smash complete season 2 soundtrack today, and one of the songs on it (the song i was actually wanting) cuts out after 1min 49secs.
    I use winamp to play my music, but also it cuts out at the same spot when using other music players?
    Is there any way i can re-download this song to get it complete? When i try though itunes it says its already on my computer.
    Cheers

  • TS3297 Songs cut out halfway through, help please.

    After purchasing Clutch's album 'Blast Tyrant' I noticed that half of the songs cut out mid-song. It is obvious that they are not meant to cut out where they are as I've heard most of them before. Anyone know how to resolve this?
    I also had the same problem with another album I had purchased and downloaded on the same day.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those 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.

    "...just converting that highly-compressed Audio to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit is the next best course."
    Bill...I'm having the same problem in CS4 with MP3's some of the time, not always.  Very annoying.  Sometimes it's on a different Audio track in the timeline and when I move it to another "sometimes" it works OK but mostly it doesn't.  It's about half way through.  As mentioned above, closing the project and reopening it seems to correct it, but it is a very annoying bug in the program.  Never once had it in CS2 (didn't have CS3).  This happens on all my areas on the workspace....timeline, source panel, etc.  Audio mixer shows it drops to 0 at the same point.  Yet when I play the audio clip in any other program it works just fine.
    Could you explain how you would convert MP3 audio to PCM/WAV...step by step please.  Thanks very much.
    Brian

  • Some songs can not find orgional file location and will not play, how to find orgional location?

      I can not play some of my albums that I have imported to itunes. The original file can not be found and I am asked to find its location? How do I find the location of these albums having already imported them?
    thanks Rob

  • Why do some songs re-download from iCloud in 256 Variable?

    Some songs will download from iCloud in 256-bit, others in 256 Variable. Why that? All were uploaded/matched from Apple Lossless (ALAC).

    I don't know this for sure, since I have not seen this behavior, but this is my speculation.
    Songs that are matched will download from the iTunes Store in straight 256 Kbps, since that is how they are encoded. The VBR downloads are probably coming from tracks that are uploaded, and this is how you've got your import settings set up. Any ALAC files that are not matched will have a copy made of them and that will be uploaded so I'm guessing that whatever your import settings are is how the files will be encoded.
