Songs cut

I am using the Creative Media Source version 3.30.36. I have built a nice library and use it quite often. Recently it has started cutting off ALL songs at about 3/4 of the way thru the song. It goes on to the next one, but continues to do the same thing. Any idea why? Any ideas on a fix? I have done all the updates since the problem started, but it did not seem to change anything.

Make sure that you have not enabled the feature of crossfading in MediaSource.

Songs cutting off

A month ago I bought an album, a few of the songs on said album cut off towards the end( last 10 seconds or so, no big deal just annoying). Today I bought an album and same issue is happening only some songs cut off about 10 seconds in. I've tried playing the songs in another media player but the same thing happens. These two albums are the only things I've purchased at the itunes store in the past 2 months. The rest of my library is unaffected. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how I can fix it?

Something similar happens to me, too, except the song will cut off and the screen reverts back to the default home screen. Like you, these are the same songs that play in my iPod without any issues. The same thing happens with the web browser - it will just drop off and revert to the home screen.
I'm wondering if we might have a couple of defective phones. I just got my phone yesterday..

Songs Cutting Off at different intervals.

Only had the Ipod for about 10 months but has been going on since we bought it. Songs keep cutting off. Some at the end, some at the begining, and some in the middle and always the same songs which were all purchased and in some cases repurchased from Itunes. They play fine on the computer and on CDs burned from Itunes. Contacted Apple and we paid for shiping from and to Apple. When the box arrived the paper work said that the battery would not hold a charge. That wasn't what we told them, so I wrote on the return paperwork that Songs cut off. They sent it back saying they could not recreate the problem. No prior contact to ask us to help them or what songs were having problems. So we paid 31.00 for the fun of it. Any one have any Ideas. I have reauthorized and even moved songs to the Ipod with a different computer nothing has changed. HELP PLEASE!!!!! Wifes Christmas present not a present and is sending her on a rampage.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL HELP YOU...
BUT YOU CAN TRY TO TURN OFF SHUFFLE MODE, IF YOU HAVE IT ON.
I JUST BOUGHT MY 80GB CLASSIC AND IT WAS CUTTING OFF RANDOM SONGS IN ALL DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE SONG, SOME IN THE BEGINNING, SOME AT THE END AND SOME IN THE MIDDLE. ALL KIND OF RANDOM ???
IN OTHER WORDS IT WOULD CUT OUT OF THE CURRENT SONG AND SWITCH TO THE NEXT SONG... FOR NO REASON... IN SHUFFLE MODE ONLY.
I TURNED OFF SHUFFLE AND SO FAR SO GOOD, SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED IT.
I HOPE THAT WILL HELP...

My songs cut off before they end on my iphone.

Same problem. I have submitted feedback. It appears that a significant number of people are experiencing the same problem and have been for months - yet, no official response of correction from Apple. This problem is also affecting the 'Match' product they're trying to sell. I would recommend waiting until this problem is fixed before signing up for Match.

Songs Cut Off Before Finished

Can anyone tell me why on my Mini songs occasionally stop abruptly before they finish and the next song begins?
The latest song to do this, which came off my CD, plays to completion on iTunes.
Thanks.

Hi all, I think I've figured out one solution to this problem. I have a 3rd Gen iPod and was having songs cut off. Random songs at random points near the end of the song. I've read a post here about deleting the artwork from the songs on the iPod, and it worked! Long story short: Use this script from www.dougscripts.com "removeallipodartwork" to delete all artwork from the iPod, not iTunes. iTunes is fine, only the iPod is having trouble with the little bits of artwork information. If you have any doubts, manually delete artwork from just a couple of songs, update your iPod and listen for the cut off (you can fast forward to near the end of the song). Believe me, I've tried everything else for the past 18 months or so. MP3, AAC, different quality, different iTunes versions, different iPod OS, restoring the iPod, I could go on. Hope this helps.

HT1420 I purchased and downloaded and album of ten songs. most of the songs cut out after several seconds. How can I get them again without having to re-purchase???

Delete the problem song(s) from library including file(s). Then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Select Music tab to re-download again for free.

Hey so my song cuts off after 40 seconds and goes to the next song in my playlist how do i fix this?

I had downloaded the new Mac Miller CD after it popped up that I had the option to download it when I opened up Itunes because I had pre-ordered it now some of the songs cut after 40seconds. Any help is appreciated.

From your description you are looking at the song from iTunes as it exists on your iDevice. The functionality you are referring to applies when selecting the song in your library, in which case you get the full menu of options like this:
Depending on other settings, you may be able to add the song to a playlist on your device from those listed at the top of the submenu when you select Add to Playlist. The Show in Playlist option that you refer to doesn't modify anything - it just lists and allows you to select any other playlists that contain the same song.
Likewise, the options available for creating new playlists from the "mini menu" at the top left of the screen apply only if you have your library selected, not your device. In the latter case you will see this:
The same operation when your library is selected shows the full range of available options:
I find the most effective approach to be to create and modify playlists within iTunes - as part of the library - and then sync to iDevices, rather than trying to modify any device content directly.

A downloaded song cuts off at the end - how can i get the full song

I recently downloaded a new song, but the song cuts off at the end. How can I get the full song?

Try update your iTunes to the latest 10.6.3 version and see if it rectifies the issue.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my matchbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!

I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my Macbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, 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.
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.

When i set iphoto to 'fit slideshow to music' the song cuts off before the end and starts again. Anyone know why?

I have tried changing the seconds each slide displays for and fiting the slides to the music and no matter what I do the song cuts off 30-40 seconds before it actually ends and starts again. I haven't had this problem before.

Hi kjackson73,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the same songs seem to cut out on multiple devices, first try re-importing or converting them using iTunes. You can also download iTunes Store purchases again. See these articles for more information:
iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
If the original CD is available, remove the affected content from the iPhone or iPod touch and then import it again from the CD using iTunes.
If the original CD is not available, convert the content to AAC using iTunes.
Download past purchases

Best,

I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Songs cutting out in itunes and ipod

I just switched to a new computer with Vista and a quad core processor (not sure if that has any impact), and iTunes cuts off songs randomly as well as on my iPod. It doesn't matter if I ripped them from a CD or purchased via itunes. I've tried converting to ACC, but itunes will not let me.
Any help would be appreiated.

I am having this same problem. I recently converted my iTunes library to a new Windows Vista PC. Song cuts out on iPod but not on iTunes. Apple store gave me a replacement unit fo the 30GB 5th generation and it still happens on the new unit. Also happens on my iPod Nano (new model).
Every post I see relating to thsi problem is "unanswered".

HT203433 Songs cut off in middle downloaded latest American idol ablum

Just purchased American idol latest ablum and the songs cut off in middle

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.

Songs cut off during play

I have 2nd gen iPod touch. When I play it through a USB cord it cuts some of my purchased songs short. My husband has 3rd gen and he has no trouble when he plugs his in with the same cord into the same device. The songs I have trouble with play fine. What could be the problem? I'm using both iPods in Microsoft Sync in my Ford

Apparently this problem hasn't been fixed in 8.2 (so I won't be upgrading). I'm very familiar with this problem, even though my iPod Classic is only four months old. I've finally gotten all of my songs to work (it took two months to cycle through my entire collection to determine which ones were broken).
This post contains the solution for songs cutting off on the iPod: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9333313#9333313. Also read [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9477739#9477739]. Now, if the songs are ending early in iTunes playing from your hard drive, then the original file got corrupted by iTunes and the only fix is to re-import or use a backup copy.
At this point, I don't want iTunes to touch my music files for a large transfer. I keep my music on an external drive; if I were to have to move them from that drive to another drive for some reason, I'd rather bite the bullet of losing my date-added data and use the Finder to move the files and then re-import my Library file than follow the iTunes instructions.
