Some songs wont play

I just got a new 3rd generation ipod shuffle but when i load songs some wont play. on very short play list only one of the songs will play. all of my songs are m4a format and have a bit rate of 76kbps i have tried the 5 Rs and it did not help what do i do.

The shuffle obviously does not like those two files. What format are they? What software were the ripped/encoded with?

Some Songs wont Play over Air port

Having just downloaded some music I find that "this music only" will not stream to my remote speakers but other music works fine why is this?

Are the songs skipping/not playing at all on the iPod? Are all of these songs purchased?

SONG WONT PLAY ON ITUNES

on march 24th i believe or recently i purchased the new KIP MOORE CD. and it is amazing. and been listening to it non stop ever since. well just last night when i was listening to the cd on my ipod i realized the first song kept getting skipped. so when i got home i got on itunes and clicked it. the pop up came up saying you are not authorized to play this song. so i signed in. and it tells me that i my computer is already autherized. and skips to the next song. so i was reading and i read to deauthorized everything i did that. and still same thing. so what do i need to do now. is there some way to fix this. ... now i did download it last night to my laptop. and it plays but on my iPod and main computer the song wont play at all. wont even burn to a cd to listening to it.. please help me. i wouldnt mind if it was a song that sucked but it is an amazing song. thanks.

ap, have you moved the song files on your computer that have the exclamation point next to them? Try playing them in iTunes and see if a window doesn't come up asking you to locate the file. Also, there might be something wrong with the song file that is keeping iTunes from syncing it to your iPod. Do all these songs have something in common that you might recognize?

9 songs wont play

Hi... just bought the album "Capture/Release" by The Rakes.
And for some reason I can't play 9 songs: 22 Grand Job, Open Book, The Guilt, Binary Love, We Are All Animals, Violent, Terror!, Work Work Work (Pub Club Sleep), All Too Human.
These songs are on my iPod but when I press play nothing happens. While the 3 remaining songs (Strasbourg, Retreat, T Bone) everything is normal.
I emailed support... and no offense to them but they gave me a crappy service. Maybe they think everybody has an iPod Shuffle, by just giving me the iPod Reset Utility for that model.
So I tried to reset my iPod through iTunes and didn't work.
Then I used another iPod... and songs wont play.
I emailed support again and apparently they are just going to ignore me.
So can you help me?!
Sorry if I sound rude BTW.

Hi-
This probably doesn't help, per say, but it'll enlighten you.
I got an iTunes gift card for xmas for $25 this past season. I used it, tried to download my movies, nothing happened. When I went back to look, my account claimed I DID download them. Being that you can't download more than once, I obviously couldn't try again. So $25 went to Apple and I didn't get a single leased tune, TV show, or movie from them. I saw leased because it's not truly ownership, they have too many limitations that real ownership doesn't contain.
So long story short, I contacted Apple a few times and they've ignored me as well. I even told them I've spoken to my attorney and promised suit for not just this incident, but incidences that have cost me thousands of dollars in the past. Would you believe they still haven't replied? Let's hope they have a good excuse in court.
Feel free to email me directly with questions:

Ipod songs wont play

I have had my 80gb Ipod for about 6 months now and have had no problems with it untill now. i have not dropped it or damaged it in anyway. i recently got a new hard plastic case for it and it and now the songs wont play. at first 1 song would play then after it was done it would skip to a random song in that album and not play, then it would play some songs and not others. i have not DL any new programs, music, games or anything on it for weeks. i have like 10,000 songs on it and it has taken me a long time to do so, so i dont wanna reset it, is there any other way to fix this?

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit>Preferences>iPod>Music tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

HT1296 I recently purchased songs from my iphone. All good... But I then went to put them on my ipod touch. They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour.

I recently purchased songs from my iphone. All good... But I then went to put them on my ipod touch. They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour and there is a downlaod symbol in front of the song title. what do i do next?? They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

Song wont play even after purchase.

song wont play after purchase from itunes nor the album cover picture wont show need help!!

You might have a bad download. Contact the iTunes Store support and see if you can download the song again.

TS1702 song wont play

Hi, I downloaded a song on via my iphone 4S. When I synched it up to my macbook, the song wont play on either my macbook or iphone. The message states 'you must authorise song on this device'. I then type in my password and it states '5 out of 5 devices authorised'. This is obviously wrong because I only have it on two devices and second of all, why is this such a massive pile of ****? I pay £1800 for a mac book, £700 for a top of the range iphone 4S and then pay 99p for a song and cant play it on any device. If I had bought the CD, I could have put it on as many devices as I like and given it to as many people as I like. Can somone please tell me how I can either get my money back for the song or get it to play? Also, several music videos I have downloaded, stop after the first 30 seconds and wont play. Any help would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the track 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 track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.

Downloaded an album and half of the songs wont play.

I downloaded The Fault in Our Stars album and most of the songs wont play, it just skips to a song that actually works.

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 entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

In random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

in random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

I've heard this excuse before, that what we think is random really isn't, but when certain trends occur enough times, its pretty clear that there is some kind of algorithm or something in the coding that affects the shuffle.
I know random means random, but there are too many "random" coincidences and apparent patterns that occur to raise doubt that it truly is as random as Apple claims.
One such example, is that when using the Shuffle Songs feature (that shuffles all tracks on the iPod) I had 2-3 tracks from the same album (an album I had never even listened to yet) showing up within the first 40 tracks five times in a row. Numerous other songs showed up in at least 3 of the 5 "trials." Out of 8,000 songs.
On a playlist (of 300 or less songs is all I have tried), if you have multiple songs off the same album, you are far more likely to hear at least one other song off a given album within about 10 songs then you are to not hear a song off the same album. A specific example of this is on a playlist of 105 songs I have, there are 3 songs off one album, however nearly every time 2 of the songs will play within a 10 track range, and nearly as often all 3 songs will play within the same 20 track range.
I know random isn't perfectly spaced songs, but when certain things happen often enough, the odds of it become so low that even the "true random" explanation doesn't cover it.

Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
Thank you.

This has started to happen to me too.
