Songs wont play fully

few of my songs on ipod wont play fully they play for few seconds and then next song is selected to play. why is that?

Hi J.E.L.,
No one knows for sure what causes this but there are some workarounds...Try #3 first as it is the easiest.
#1 Delete those songs from itunes and re-rip them from the CD into itunes and sync your ipod.
#2 Convert those songs into another format. Adjust your settings however you wish in Itunes > Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing. Choose whatever format and settings you like then, Right-Click on the song(s) and "Convert Selection To XXX", where XXX is the format you've selected. Sync and try it.
NOTE: Doing this method degrades the sound quality of the file(s) as you're essentially making a copy of a copy. Whether it is acceptable to your ears or not is up to them.
#3 This workaround has helped some. If they're unprotected MP3 files then, using itunes, strip them of their ID3 Tags. Right Click on the song(s), click "Convert ID3 Tags", click "None". Then, do it all over again only this time, choose a version, usually v2.3. Sync and try it.
NOTE: Stripping them of their ID3 Tags will delete the artwork and lyrics of the associated songs, but they are easily replaceable.

  • Iphone ringtones, original songs wont play fully

    Hi,
    I have several of my songs in Itunes as ringtones, which I managed to do by downloading an ap to convert them. They work great as ringtones but problem is the original songs in Itunes wont play fully, they start wherever you have the ringtone starting on the track and end when the ringtone does, therefore never fully playing a track.
    Any suggestions how I can keep my ringtones but also still get the songs to play fully when I listen to my ipod on the Iphone.
    The Ap I used is just called "Ringtones" but is blue with a yellow star.
    Many thanks

    I recently purchased songs from my iphone.  All good...  But I then went to put them on my ipod touch.  They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour and there is a downlaod symbol in front of the song title.  what do i do next??  They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

  • SONG WONT PLAY ON ITUNES

    on march 24th i believe or recently i purchased the new KIP MOORE CD. and it is amazing. and been listening to it non stop ever since. well just last night when i was listening to the cd on my ipod i realized the first song kept getting skipped. so when i got home i got on itunes and clicked it. the pop up came up saying you are not authorized to play this song. so i signed in. and it tells me that i my computer is already autherized. and skips to the next song. so i was reading and i read to deauthorized everything i did that. and still same thing. so what do i need to do now. is there some way to fix this. ... now i did download it last night to my laptop. and it plays but on my iPod and main computer the song wont play at all. wont even burn to a cd to listening to it.. please help me. i wouldnt mind if it was a song that sucked but it is an amazing song. thanks.

    ap, have you moved the song files on your computer that have the exclamation point next to them? Try playing them in iTunes and see if a window doesn't come up asking you to locate the file. Also, there might be something wrong with the song file that is keeping iTunes from syncing it to your iPod. Do all these songs have something in common that you might recognize?

  • 9 songs wont play

    Hi... just bought the album "Capture/Release" by The Rakes.
    And for some reason I can't play 9 songs: 22 Grand Job, Open Book, The Guilt, Binary Love, We Are All Animals, Violent, Terror!, Work Work Work (Pub Club Sleep), All Too Human.
    These songs are on my iPod but when I press play nothing happens. While the 3 remaining songs (Strasbourg, Retreat, T Bone) everything is normal.
    I emailed support... and no offense to them but they gave me a crappy service. Maybe they think everybody has an iPod Shuffle, by just giving me the iPod Reset Utility for that model.
    So I tried to reset my iPod through iTunes and didn't work.
    Then I used another iPod... and songs wont play.
    I emailed support again and apparently they are just going to ignore me.
    So can you help me?!
    Sorry if I sound rude BTW.

    Hi-
    This probably doesn't help, per say, but it'll enlighten you.
    I got an iTunes gift card for xmas for $25 this past season. I used it, tried to download my movies, nothing happened. When I went back to look, my account claimed I DID download them. Being that you can't download more than once, I obviously couldn't try again. So $25 went to Apple and I didn't get a single leased tune, TV show, or movie from them. I saw leased because it's not truly ownership, they have too many limitations that real ownership doesn't contain.
    So long story short, I contacted Apple a few times and they've ignored me as well. I even told them I've spoken to my attorney and promised suit for not just this incident, but incidences that have cost me thousands of dollars in the past. Would you believe they still haven't replied? Let's hope they have a good excuse in court.
    Feel free to email me directly with questions:

  • TS1702 song wont play

    Hi, I downloaded a song on via my iphone 4S. When I synched it up to my macbook, the song wont play on either my macbook or iphone. The message states 'you must authorise song on this device'. I then type in my password and it states '5 out of 5 devices authorised'. This is obviously wrong because I only have it on two devices and second of all, why is this such a massive pile of ****? I pay £1800 for a mac book, £700 for a top of the range iphone 4S and then pay 99p for a song and cant play it on any device. If I had bought the CD, I could have put it on as many devices as I like and given it to as many people as I like. Can somone please tell me how I can either get my money back for the song or get it to play? Also, several music videos I have downloaded, stop after the first 30 seconds and wont play. Any help would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

    Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Downloaded an album and half of the songs wont play.

    I downloaded The Fault in Our Stars album and most of the songs wont play, it just skips to a song that actually works.

    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 entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • My recently purchased songs wont play, popup says unable to locate

    my recently purchased songs wont play in itunes, album grafics keep disappearing, pop up says original file could not be found. Also my ipod freezes up when I try to play these songs on it.

    Hello musiccc
    That means that iTunes cannot find the file to play. The article below will assist with finding the files on your computer. If they are not on your computer, then delete them in iTunes so you can download those purchases again.

  • My Most recently purchased songs wont play

    So after updating my phone to iOS 6.1, my 3 newest songs wont play. These songs were purchased from iTines so it shouldnt be a licensing or format issue. The song shows up on my phone, but when i press it to play it, it skips to the next song. When i connect my phone to my computer and look under songs on iphone, its not there, but it is in the library. Because its not listed on my phone, i cant delete it to re-download it. Also, look at the attached picture, youll notice the song becuse its grey and has a ring next to it. What does it mean and how can i fix it.

    i bought an album and two songs wont play right. how can i fix this

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
