Songs keep skipping to next song

I have a iPod nano 8gb. Why is it when i am listening to a song it jumps to the next song for three or more songs. What options do i have enable or disable.

I, too, am having this problem as of two updates ago. It' been like this for about two weeks now. Music stops, songs skip like I'm using an old CD player and went over a bump - just abruptly stopping/changing to the next song. I've also noticed VERY clear and sudden changes in song quality while streaming, it's a bit jarring.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area, and I'm using T-Mobile.
I have tried the following:
Restart phone 
Clear data
Uninstall and reinstall
Lower streaming quality
I've noticed this seems to only happen on streamed songs.. downloaded ones are OK. Everything was fine until the update that changed the 'Your Music' section :(
Edit: Wifi works fine.. It seems to either be a) streaming over T-Mobile or b) how Spotify handles streaming/slow connections/whatever has changed in a recent update. Can past and future repliers include their mobile carrier to see if there's a trend?

  • My 6th generation keeps skipping to next song

    My ipod, 1 day old, keeps skipping to the next song before the song is over, is there any way I can fix that? I noticed it is also doing it in iTunes.

    Longshot here, but I had the same thing happen to me, and it turned out to be the way I was using my Nano. I clipped it to my shirt collar with the display inward to my chest, and the contact with my skin was triggering the touch display. Maybe not what's happening to you, but my solution was to put the display to sleep (one button push) while in use.
    The fact that it's doing it in iTunes leads me to believe this isn't your problem, but it's what I got.

  • How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes?  The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

    It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
    If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
    Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

  • Ipod mini won't plays songs, keeps skipping

    I've had my ipod mini for the last year but 4 to 5 months ago it stopped working and I'm just now finding the time to deal with this. My ipod is a mess and I'm not sure if it can even be fixed without some technician messing around with it but any help would be GREATLY appreciated. This is a long one...
    The problem was:
    When I selected a song from a playlist (or any category) to play it, the song information would pop up on the screen and it would play the first milisecond of the song and then the next song on the list would pop up and the ipod would do the same thing. It would do this over and over for every song on the playlist until it reached the end of the list. It did this for every category. I restarted it and NOTHING worked. But at least it turned on then. Now it doesn't.
    The problem now:
    I reset my ipod and took all of the songs off of iTunes, just in case. When I tried to turn the ipod back on, the folder with the exclamation point alert popped up and now the ipod won't turn on at all.
    I put songs back into iTunes and tried to update my ipod and iTunes said that it was importing the songs but the ipod still won't turn on. I reset it once again just in case and I didn't put any more songs in it because that just seems to make it worse. So now the ipod has no songs in it and it still won't turn on.
    It keeps giving me the same alert after a few minutes of the apple symbol and I've plugged it into my computer and it says that it's charging but it will do nothing else but charge.

    step 1: try to restore it. this will remove everything on the ipod. then it will make sure it is current and nothing will be left on the ipod. then, just reload your music

  • Feature request : Crossfade when skipping to next song ...

    Hello,
    Is there any feature request area for iTunes ? I really love the program and think it is great. I would like to request implementation of crossfading between songs when hitting the next song button. This is the only reason I still have to use my winamp from time to time. Almost every other player has this feature or a plugin that has.
    It is really anoying when we have some friends over or a party at home and you want to skip to the next song. The cold transition really cools down everyone ...
    Hoping this will be implemented !
    Greetings

  • When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
    My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
    You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
    Hope this helps.

  • Recently, after cancelling the tick of a song, which is the next song after the one I am listening, in the song list, the canceled song will still run for the next song. I remember that it used not to happen like this. How can I solve this problem?

    This looks like a change of behaviour in iTunes 12. Once songs are queued up to the Up Next list then they play whether ticked or not. If you want to skip certain songs already queued click the Up Next tool, then click the small X to the left of the song that appears when you hover over it.

  • Bought album and it downloaded in iTunes but it only plays partial of first song and then skips to next song in album, help?

    Well I bought the Bring Me The Horizon album There Is A **** Believe Me I've Seen It, There Is A Heaven Let's Keep It A Secret on my iPhone and it synced to iTunes on my laptop. The entire album was downloading however when the first song was starting download it displayed an error message and I quickly pressed okay and disregarded it. The rest of the album resumed download and completed. I then went up to the download button next to the search input in the upper right hand corner and finished download for the rest of the song. When I went to listen to the album I was in a minute into the first song, "Crucify Me," and it skipped to the second song in the album, "It Never Ends." I tried playing it over and opening and re-opening iTunes but it still persists to skip the first song a minute in... so it appears to be a partial download. I mean, I have the album downloaded on my iPhone (this was the original site of purchase and download) but currently I am not in a state to do anything with that because my USB cable broke so my phone's been dead for the past few days and I'm waiting until tomorrow to get one with my father, I'm just a 14 year old girl afterall. I need a quick fix for this error and soon, preferably one without needing my iPhone because I want to listen to this album tonight and make sure it's all in order (and so I know what to do for future reference in case this happens again.) Please let me know your suggestions on resolving this issue. - Taylor
    P.S. I've inserted a picture of what my iTunes looks like just in case it might help, which I doubt, but it might. Also please don't judge the Blood On The Dance Floor albums... I went through a phase that involved **** music.

  • Audio playback randomly freezes on iPod, skips to next song in iTunes.

    When I'm listening to music on my iPod, at a random point in certain songs the audio will suddenly cut out, the play progress bar and time keeper will freeze, and yet the icon indicates that the song is still playing. When listening to those songs through iTunes, at the same points rather than freezing up, it will simply skip to the next song, similar to what it would do if I had edited the options to make the song end sooner than it normally would. I have gone through these songs and checked that option under the "get info" menu and the song end time has not been altered. What has happened to my music, and is there any way to fix it short of whiping out half my library and starting from scratch?

    I’ve read reports from many other iTunes users who are having the same issue I am.  Please read on...
    When listening to songs that I purchased from iTunes (as opposed to those I imported from CD), several, but not all, of them stop playing prematurely several seconds (or even minutes) before the end of the tune.  Playback jumps immediately to the beginning of the next tune. 
    I noticed this, I believe, shortly after moving my iTunes library to a new iMac (3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB memory) running iTunes 10.5.3 (3) on Mac OS 10.7.3.  Everything was fine before the move.
    Of the 283 purchased songs in my iTunes library, about 100 of them exhibit this behavior.  The song playback times at which this happens range from 2:14 to 5:19.
    What is interesting, is that tunes from the same album all end at the same playback time!  For example, I purchased the whole album “River - The Joni Letters” (Herbie Hancock’s album covering a number of Joni Mitchell tunes).  Every song from that album now stops playing at 3:39.  The same happens with other tunes that happen to be from the same album, too.  I have no idea why this would be the case, but it certainly seems significant.
    Another interesting finding, is that if I copy one of tunes exhibiting this issue to the desktop and play it from there, the song plays all the way through to the end without a problem.  This would, I think, rule out a corrupt file and tend to point to iTunes itself as the source of the problem.
    The problem certainly is annoying, and it would be great if we could find some resolution and get back to enjoying our music without the mind-jarring bump that too often now happens without warning.
    Sincerely,
    Michael Loomis

  • Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

    Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

    Try this Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Test the sound again.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

    If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
    Good Luck!

  • Songs skips to next song before completing.

    I have tried the 5 R's and deleting the songs that skip and reloading them to the IPOD Nano. Some songs play for a few seconds then skip to the next song. Other play about half way through. The songs play fine on the computer. Any suggestions?

    iPod skipping songs?
    For those of you who get zero playtime from songs (i.e. it doesn't even start the song before starting the next one) try this:
    Resetting the iPod
    and if that does not work, this:
    Restoring the iPod
    For those of you whose songs are skipping after getting partway through the song, two questions.
    Did you rip these songs from CD's you own? If so, try reripping the affected songs.
    Are the songs that are skipping iTMS store files? If so, we'd like to know the following, because there may be a problem with the song file:
    1.) Song Name, Album, and Artist
    2.) iPod Model (iPod mini [4 gig or 6 gig], iPod Nano [2 gig or 4 gig], iPod [size and generation])
    3.) iPod firmware (this can be found under Extras>About>Version)
    Thanks,

  • Skip-to-next-song button balky

    I've noticed on my iphone that, on occasion while playing a song on the ipod, it sometimes takes repeated touches of the advance button to skip to the next song in the shuffle. This doesn't always happen, however. I also have noticed this with the other iphones I have owned along the way -- an intermittent problem, which sometimes I can cure by skipping backward and then forward. Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks in advance.

    This happens to me constantly on my iphone 3g. I can't go for a drive without having ipod crash on pressing the skip button. The skip button remains lit up and it doesn't do anything, and I have to force quit ipod. This is the biggest problem with my iphone because I bought it to function as an ipod too! I thought it might be the smart playlists I have set up but it crashes on general shuffle too.

  • My song keeps playing the next one after a minute or so?

    So I was playing a bought song (can't remember to forget you " by Shakira and Rihanna. After a minute or so, it skipped to the next song. I thought it was just a mistake at first but then I kept trying to play it after a minute and it would just go to the next song but still have the title for "can't remember to forget you". I tried deleting the song from my iPhone and synced my iPhone 5 but nothing changed. The weirdest part it that it normally plays on my laptop. Help please. And yes I have the latest update 7.1.0

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.
