TS1362 A few of my songs only play halfway through then skip to the next. Is it the download?

How do I fix this?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the 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.

If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...

Why do some of the songs only play half way, then skip to the next song?

I just got the ipod shuffle and am enjoying it very much, except that a few songs won't play all the way through. I tried them on my computer and they WILL play there, BUT I notice they have a kind of crackle, like the download got interupted. Is that making them "Skip" like a scratched record? And what do I do about it?
thanks,
pauline

If those are purchased tracks (from ITS) then this is an old problem, and a continuing one.
The two most common fixes are either to work through ITS Support and get different copies of those tracks (they will never work correctly on the Shuffle as they are, and might actually get worse with time), or go through a process of burning those tracks off to a CD and then reimporting them back into iTunes.
Both of these have been discussed at length in these and other forums. Search for those threads and see what you want to try.

HT1725 My purchases are only playing halfway through the song then they jump to the next song even though the download has been completed "successfully". Does this mean an incomplete download? How do I rectify this? Please help

HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

i'm just wondering:
a) why it does this
and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

Old itunes songs only playing halfway on new computer

I used to own a 2006 macbook and now have a new windows HP laptop. When I tried to transer my itunes library to the new windows computer, all of the songs DID transfer over to the new computer from the mac, however, the songs that were purchased in 2006 under a previously used itunes account (no longer being used because of unused email address, etc. etc.) will only play halfway thorough. So I will be listening to my music and then at around, say, the 2 minute mark there is silence.....the song freezes and itunes just sits there. It wont move to the next song...it just does nothing. It's like I paused the song, but it is still technically playing. It does this on my computer as well as when I play the songs on my iphone. Does anyone have any idea about this? All of the songs that this happens to are "protected AAC audio files." No clue what that means, no clue why this is happening. Im not too computer savy (and the new itunes version isnt helping either) so I am lost on this one...and mad because I paid for these songs but now I can't listen to them!

You're supposed to transfer them from the old computer to the new one instead of redownloading them from the iTunes Store. Except for applications, Apple pays a royalty for each download and therefore usually doesn't allow free redownloads.

I bought an album off of iTunes and all the songs only play halfway, what should I do?

What should I do? Because I payed good money for it and now all the songs on the album only play halfway. And when I try to drag the little dot to a specific part of the song it immediately changes.

This happened to me last week- my solution- I went back to the store and 'repurchased' the songs- iTunes alerted me that I had already purchased the songs and asked if I wanted to redownload the song at no charge. I said yes and once the new download was complete- I deleted the songs that only played halfway so I wouldn't have a duplicate that didn't work.

When I try to partition my drive, it only gets halfway through then freezes. Why?

I am on an imac late 2009. When I try to partition my harddrive with bootcamp assistant to 80 gigs, it takes hours to get halfway, but then freezes. This is after fixing the "files cannot be moved" problem by reparing my harddrive with the osx installation disc.

Song only plays halfway and stops

I have one particular song on my ipod touch that will only play less than halfway and then it will keep stopping in the same place and going to the next song. I know the whole song is on the ipod and if I fast forward through that part of the song, I can listen to the rest. This song works just fine on my itunes. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried resetting it. Thanks!

Whell, it seems there is an error in your song that makes your iPod think the song is over. I`ve had such problems, and the only way to solve this is by downloading the song again, or re-record it. I do this with the KMPlayer, which is a free software, you just have to click capture, and audio.

Some songs only playing halfway

Some songs which I recorded from cds and downloaded at 256 from iTunes Match are not playing all the way through.
I've tried deleting and redowning but the problem is still the same.
I have checked the Get Info / Options - stop times and they are Ok.
In most cases I still have the original CDs but I'd like to know if there is a cure or whether I have done something wrong.

Does the song play in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

I downloaded an album and some songs only play half way then the next song starts. Any thoughts? Thanks

I downloaded an Album from Itunes Store onto a Windows PC. Some of the songs play fine while others play about half the song and then skip to the next song. But, when I play the same songs from iCloud on my iPhone 4s, they play the whole song. So, why can't itunes play the song in full?

This happened to me. What you need to do is move the song and any backups to the recycle bin. Then go to Itunes store and click 'Purchased' under Quick Links. Go to the song you want and there will be a cloud next to it. Click it and it will redownload. It should download the full song this time.
This happened to me yesterday when I bought a Volbeat album and again today when my brother bought a Rise Against album. I hope Apple fixes this. I just read about a question like this from back in 2007, so it's been going on for a while.

HT1725 Paused a download then resumed and now song stops playing halfway through

Purchased songs only playing half way through

I purchased 2 albums today and a few songs on each only play half through then skip to the next. I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.

I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.
Try deleting and redownloading just the problematic tracks (rather than the entire album(s)). Any better luck with that?

TS1362 my purchased songs are playing half way before skipping to the next track. I can't redownload them. What should I do?

My songs only play half-way then they skip to another song. I don't know how to fix it and don't know how to re-download the songs.

TS1424 song cuts off halfway through?

I downloaded the album "Homes" from Jon & Roy and two songs show the time length of the song, but stop playing halfway through and skip right away to the next song. Is anyone else having this problem with this album, or another album and know where to go for help? Thanks!

Hello stephen9478
All you would need to do is delete the song from your iTunes library and then go to the iTunes Store and look in the Purchased section to download any previous purchased content. Check out the article below for more information about any previous purchases.
