Song imported won't play on itunes

Hello,
I recently imported some songs I bought off Google Play into iTunes. I then synced both of my iPods and then realized something peculiar:
My iPod Touch 4G 32GB can play this one song
My iPod Nano  4G 16GB can not play the same song
iTunes on my Windows 7 64 Bit laptop can not play this same song
Windows Media Player on the same laptop can play this same song
Keep in mind, all four sources are ultimately using the same file, so it's not corrupt. Does anyone have any clue on how to fix this issue? Although it works on my primary MP3 Player, I'd like it to work on all my devices. Any help would be appriciated!
If for some reason it is important, the song is "Live at Sundance" by The Civil Wars.
Thanks!
-Peter Miller

Specifically what happens when I try to play it is that iTunes skips it and goes to the next song and my iPod Nano just gets stuck on pause until you go to a different song. (Skip, reverse, manually select another song, etc.)

  • Imported songs but won't  play on Itunes

    Hi all. I recently bought a new Ipod and imported songs from it to my Itunes. As soon as I had imported them there is an exclamation mark next to each song. When I try to play it Itunes says that the song cannot be found. Anyone know why?
    There on my Ipod and working but none work when imported.
    If it makes a difference I imported by adding folder to library.
    Thanks.

    Are you saying you have music on an external drive and it won't play if the drive is not plugged in?
    You are not very clear with your question, but I wonder if you tried to add them to your library on your internal drive. If so take a look at:
    Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General
    Is "Copy files to Itunes Music folder when adding to library" checked? If not the songs would be left on the external drive.
    If this is the case, you could plug in your external drive and then consolidate your library. This will copy ALL files not in your iTunes Music folder into the iTunes Music folder.
    If you intentionally keep some of your music outside the iTunes Music folder you may want to think about the implications before using Consolidate.

  • How do I delete unauthorized songs that won't play in iTunes?

    I recently just downloaded all of my purchases I've made from my iphone, onto my itunes on my macbook.
    I've also noticed there are songs that are in dull grey writing (not the solid black) so when I click on them nothing happens, I can't delete or play them at all. So I clicked "get info" and under summary it says it's not available.
    It lists the song name, and album, and size, and whatnot.
    Except I can't do anything with it. I have duplicates of the song too, one which works (solid black, clickable, etc) and then one that doesn't do anything (grey font, can't click, can't play, can't delete, etc)
    How do I get rid of the songs/information that aren't working???

    Hi Allan ..
    From your iTunes library, right or control click the song then click Delete.

  • Song won't play on itunes but plays on quicktime

    I just downloaded an entire album (not off itunes). However when i click on the song in finder, iTunes opens up but doesn't even display my song. Nothing happens. Not only does it not play, there is not evidence I even clicked on the song.
    However when I open it on Quicktime is plays just fine.
    I made an email account containing one of the songs that won't play. If someone can maybe dissect why the song won't play in iTunes I'd greatly appreciate it.
    <Edited by Host>
    I've attached the song to the first email sent to myself. Maybe if you could look at how it's encoded or something to help figure this out.
    Thanks in advance!

    MP3 files have structures which can vary according to the dialect of mp3 used. Some applications will only look at a file if it is perfect. Some are willing to try pretty much anything. (Like reading a post on Apple Discussion. If somebody omits grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure I might not even try reading it, but some are willing to try and can make sense of it in the end.) There's something not quite right with the file (um, if this is of dubious origins it might not be surprising). iTunes won't look at it, but Quicktime is willing to have a go and can make enough sense of it to play it.
    I opened the file with MP3Trimmer (well worth the minimal shareware fee IMHO, and has a pretty liberal trial version). Normally it would open a file like that in a few seconds. It took it about a minute of scanning before it did. I then saved the file in mp3Trimmer (it doesn't recode it so there's no additional quality loss) and it fixed whatever it didn't like and I could add it to iTunes.

  • Why won't this song play even after I authorized the computer? It says that I need to authorize the computer, then I enter my username and password and it says the computer is already authorized. But then the song still won't play. What do I do?

    Use the Apple ID support -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ - click through the contact information and select the iTunes, etc., hot button. You can have Apple call you or email them.

  • I purchased a film but it won't play because iTunes says I need to authorize the computer, but when I do that it says the computer is already authorized. Huh - some system. Any ideas?

  • Videos won't play in iTunes

    TV, Video Podcast, Movies - none of them play in iTunes 10.5.3.  A windows pops up, you have the PAUSE button showing as if it's playing but nothing is happening, just a still shot of the video.  They play fine in quicktime.
    I re-installed iTunes, no luck.

    My friend sent me a music video, but it won't play in
    iTunes. It is formatted so that it should play, but
    all I see is white, green, and orange bars! The file
    plays in QuickTime now that I changed my setting to
    "Safe Mode" and also plays on my iPod, but what do I
    do for it to work in iTunes!? Thank you in advance
    for the help!

  • When I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song

    when I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song.  The song shows when I open the music app, but the bar does not move and there is no sound.  Even if I hit pause then play nothing happens.  If I go back to the playlists and select another playlist or song then music plays.

    After doing and changing EVERYTHING on that page, I ended up re-installing Quicktime by itself and finally that solved the problem. Thank you for the advice page though, it had a lot of good information on it that related to my problem.

  • Sometimes when I try to choose a song, it won't play, but goes to the "music" icon, and it wiggles.

    It sounds like you might actually have 4G iPod Touch or 6G Nano as the 4G Nano does not have icons.  Use this article to help you verify what model iPod you own.

  • I rec'd a CD with audio files. The suffix is .v09, and they won't play on iTunes. Any idea what I should do?

    I rec'd a CD with audio files. The suffix is .v09, and they won't play on iTunes. Any idea what I should do?
    I have a MacBook, OS X.

    No helpful information seems to be available about this, except that on Windows .v09 indicates an unknown extension - in other words they could be anything. What do you get if you highlight the file and hit command-i - does the info pane give you any file type?
    The best thing would be to ask the person who sent you the CD what they are; if you can't do this you can only try opening it in various programs. Audacity is a free audio editor which can open a number of formats. You could try dragging it to a browser icon in case it's Flash, or try the Windows Media Player. However there's a good chance that it's one of the obscure audio formats, in which case you very likely won't be able to play it.

  • Imported Songs Won't Play in iTunes, but will on iPod

    I recently imported many songs from a hard drive into my iTunes library. I then updated my iPod with these additions. The songs play on my iPod but will not play in iTunes, or allow me to create a playlist containing these songs. I get a message saying that "the song _______ could not be used because the original file could not be found."
    When I reconnect the hard drive, the songs play, but when it is disconnected, they won't. I tried to "authorize computer", but that didn't do anything.
    Any suggestions for how to fix this issue?
    Thanks.
