Songs ending in the middle of play?

I completed an album and all four of the songs will stop at around 1 min and skip to the next song or stay silent for another 2 and a half mins. Anyone else have this problem? Can songs be re-downloaded? Thanks!:)

*Skipping songs*
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
Some users have suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information is often a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I've have found files for which this solution doesn't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original file back onto the iPod.

  • Songs stop in the middle of play and go on to next song in itunes

    I have recently noticed several songs in my itunes that will start playing normally and then at a certain point in the song it will end and go on to the next song. However, if I scroll the play bar past the point where the song stops, it will finish playing the song just fine. Is there a setting to change, or did my songs just mysteriously become corrupted?? If anyone knows anything please help me. Thanks

    Ok, let's start here.
    iTunes for Windows: Songs and other audio don't sound right
    Particularly the part about updating your audio drivers.
    If that doesn't work, I need to know what audio hardware you have (manufacturer / model) and what kind of computer you have (manufacturer / model). I also need to know if the Quicktime Player that comes with iTunes has the same problem when playing back audio files.

  • TS1362 some songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song.

    Songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song. Can I fix this or recover the full song?

    I just found out how to solve the problem today
    Go to the original location of the song. Meaning, if the song file is on the desktop then go there and individually click the songs and they'll play on Itunes perfectly fine
    I'm not sure why this happened but I hope that works for you!

  • Why does my cursor not automatically select the entire word when I try to select text by starting/ending in the middle of a word?

    In any other browser I've used (or word processor, for that matter) when I select text using my mouse cursor, if I start and/or end in the middle of a word, it automatically selects the whole word when I'm selecting more than one word. But for some reason this is not happening in Firefox. If I try to select say 3 words, and I start in the middle of the first word and end in the middle of the last word, it will only select those parts, not all 3 words entirely.

    Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

  • My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable fix

    My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable to figure out why. It did not used to do this. I can't figure out any pattern to the songs it does it on versus that it doesn't do it on. Some of the songs are purchased, some are imported, etc. We are running Windows 7.

  • I have an apple earpods and I use them for my ipad but when I want to skip a song by tapping the middle button twice it doesn't skip the music so what to do?

    I have an apple earpods and I use them for my ipad but when I want to skip a song by tapping the middle button twice it doesn't skip the music so what to do?

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

  • IMac shuts down in the middle of playing WoW

    I'm not sure why but my iMac suddenly turns itself off in the middle of playing WoW. It doesn't happen immediately, but after playing it for a few hours.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I take it into the Apple store?
    Thanks!

    A freezing issue is not really the same as shutting down, in my opinion, but the link is appreciated nonetheless.
    I'm glad I saw this thread; I'm having the same problem. Presently, I'm running a "test" by leaving my computer on for ~48 hours straight without loading WoW. I'll see if it's still on in a couple hours when I return from work.
    First, I will remove and reinsert the RAM. That's easy enough to do, and Apple gives instructions on how to do that.
    My hunch is that something related to the video card / logic card might be heating up only when I use something that exercises the video card more than simple, standard applications. I don't feel anything getting hot, though (on the outside of the computer), but it's worth looking into. Perhaps I can manually change the fan speed for the CPU; maybe this thread would be helpful for you, also:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1516765
    Or this article:
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/10/16/modify-adjust-and-control-fan-speed-and -temperature-of-apple-macbook-macbook-pro-and-mac-mini/
    If none of this works, I'm betting on a logic card issue, which would be bad news. But there still might be hope; it could be that some components are loose and need to be re-seated. Since I'm out of warranty, I won't have much of an issue opening up the iMac and looking for them myself, but be careful if you are within warranty, still. You may simply want to bring your computer in and ask for things to be replaced for free instead.

  • Memory error in the middle of play

    Hi, I have iTunes 10.5.0.142 on Windows 7 Home Premium sp1.  In the middle of playing music, "...memory error...not enough memory" appears.  I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, cleared cache also.  PC has plenty of memory and hdd space.  Any thoughts?

    Either get an OLDER version of the binutils package and forceably install it via the "rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps" command (using the version shipped with RedHat 7.0 will work (2.10.0.18-1, I believe).
    -- OR --
    When the error pops up, go edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and find the line like:
    LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"
    Comment this line and add the line:
    LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""
    Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the appropriate place and run "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh". It will take a couple minutes or so to run. Then go back to the installer and hit Retry.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Try to play next song or the song ends and the music stops. Whats wrong with it?

    Every time I hit "next" to play the next song, the current song playing will stop and wont play the next song. This also happens when the songs ends. When the song ends it won't start the next song. How do I fix this?
    Also the shuffle won't shuffle any one my songs.
    HELP!!!!!!

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPod?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPod shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
    If these don't work try removing all music via iTunes and reinstall all the music from your iTunes library.

  • ITunes stopped working while in the middle of playing a song

    Have patience with me, I'm new here. :o) I will try to do my best to explain the problem.
    I was listening to a playlist on my computer when it stopped playing in the middle of a song. Now I can't play any music in iTunes. I wasn't using the computer for anything at the time, except to listen to music. I wasn't even sitting at the computer at the time, but the internet was on.
    I thought maybe the speakers came unplugged or something but that is not the case. The plug is still plugged in and I can still hear sounds and music in my games.
    I shut down iTunes and reopened it, but this didn't help. I shut down the computer and rebooted it, but this didn't help either. I have the latest version of iTunes, and I've never had a problem before.
    Can somebody please help me fix this, or maybe throw some ideas at me about what could be causing this?
    Thank for your time,
    Jennifer

    if you shake your ipod and it goes to a new song you are using the shake to shuffle mode, i would turn it off if it is giving you problems. you go to settings, play back, and click on shake so it says off. hope this helps.

  • Skips to the next song while in the middle of a track (in Shuffle mode)

    On some tracks, my iPod suddenly skips to the next track when it is in shuffle songs mode. This seems to happen randomly in the middle (or close to the beginning...e.g. 30 seconds in) of tracks, and I can't figure out why it isn't playing the whole track. Suggestions?

    I imagine sbonewicz looked at a couple of the More Like This threads listed in the panel on the right and found a solution there, such as this one...
    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, 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.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
    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.

  • Song begins in the middle-

    One of my songs, or my mom’s which is an entirely different problem, starts to play in the middle (specifically at the time 1:06 for the song “World is Mine” (feat. Hatsune Miku)) and I have found some reasons to why this is happening: the song was not purchased with my Apple ID, I created a ringtone at this exact time using non Apple approved methods, and I just recently received a new MacBook Air. After looking through Apple Support Communitie’s forums, I found one could delete the song and download it once again but, since I did not originally purchase “World is Mine” I cannot do so. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.     

    Purchase the song under your own Apple ID.
