Songs only play for 30-50 sec.

i just got my new nano(2nd) and when i try to play a song on it it will play but only for a few sec and it beeps right before it stops playing that song and goes to the next song which may or may not play for the full legth. i had the other nano so itunes had songs on it before i got this nano. it will play the old songs ok (from what i have been able to tell) but not the songs that i just added to my computer a few days ago. the new and old songs play fine on the computer.
and i have tried the 5 R's at least twice.
i just also updated my itunes to the latest version is that maybe the problem?
  Windows XP  

i had the same problem but after using the itunes to download the music i had no problems. if you no longer have the cd and can burn a cd you can burn a cd of the songs and then either move the songs onto a flash drive and/or delete them. then reinsert the cd into the computer and download them through itunes.

  • TS3297 Purchased album of Casting Crowns but some songs only play for 30-40 seconds. Where are my songs?

    I'm new to purchasing and downloading music. What I did was use a gift card to purchase an album but most of the songs only play for 30-40 seconds.  A couple play for their full time.  What went wrong?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • My songs only play for 6 seconds

    My imported music is only playing for six seconds then going to the next track. All of my purchased music works fine though.  The imported files also play in their entirety on Windows Media Player so I know it's not the files' fault. Any suggestions?

    Sure your gone for the day, but no luck. Still get 15 sec and then on to the next song.

  • Some songs only play for a few seconds.

    I am having trouble with some mp3 songs that I have imported to my iTunes library. The songs play fine with other media players, but on iTunes a few songs only play the first few seconds. It only happens with a few songs. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    See the start time and end time for the song. It is in "get info"->options
    In other words check the properties of the songs to see if it is set to play only for a certain duration. When it plays you can always slide the scrub pad to play the other non-playing sections (section outside of the play-duration set int he options).

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks 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 you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    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.

    Hey rjfdlf,
    That definitely sounds frustrating. If the songs are not playing fully, they may need to be redownloaded. To redownload them, you'll want to delete them from your library. See the following article:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
    Thanks,

  • Song only plays for 5 Seconds

    Downloaded a song from album but only plays 5 seconds of song, How do i fix this

    I have had this problem for quite awhile.  Sometimes the preview plays all the way through, or not.  I had it in the previous version and now the new version.  There is no help from Apple/iTunes.  It seems odd that WE must continue to try and find the solution to THEIR errors without any comments or help from Apple. 

  • Songs only play for 10 seconds. What do I do?

    I bought some music on my phone. I hooked my phone to my computer and the new songs started downloading into my library on my computer. A message popped up saying there was a problem downloading some of the songs. There was an exclamation point inside a circle next to those songs. At the time there was a cloud with a down arrow next to those songs so I clicked them to re-download the songs. They finished downloading and I synced my phone to my computer. I tried to play those songs, and they play for about 10 seconds or less and then stop. There aren't any cloud symbols next to the songs on my computer or my phone even though I have it checked to show purchases in the cloud. What do I do to fix my songs? They were playing fine before I downloaded them onto my computer. I'm running iTunes 11.1.4.
