TS1362 Song I purchased won't play all the way through, but skips to next song

I purchased a song that is 5:48 but it will only play 1:28 of it. It then just skips to the next song. If i move the toggle to say the 3:00 mark, it automatically skips to the next song.
Help!
btw...all other songs purchased at the time are playing just fine and have also synced with my device just fine. it seems there is something wrong with just this one.

Solved (copy and pasted from my post) For others having this problem, delete the songs you have just purchased from itunes. Then, go to the store and in quick links click on "Purchased". Then find on the top right "Songs not on this computer" (or something similar) and you will find them for download. It's best to download them one at a time and wait for one to complete before moving on to the next one.

Quicktime Player should already be installed on the Mac. If you transferred Quicktime from a VAIO it will not run on a Mac -- no PC software will without using a special interface.
Right click or control+click on one of the files, then > Open with Quicktime Player.
I already suspect that since these files will not play completely on any of your devices that you have an incomplete download.

I downloaded an album on my iTunes on my Mac but some of the songs won't play all the way through. It is almost as if it didn't download the entire songs. How can I fix this?

I downloaded the Mumfor & Sons album in my iTunes store. All the songs are there but in a handful of the songs, they cut off at the end of them. It is almost as if the last 30 seconds or so were never downloaded. I tried to check for things that were not downloaded yet and it says that everything is downloaded. I have no idea howt o get the rest of the songs to play.

If just some of the tracks on the album are doing that, that suggests those tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy 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.

Random songs won't play all the way through -- what's going on?

A really annoying problem has developed with my iTunes. Recently, and with increasing frequency, it seems, random song files will, when added to my library, quit before the end. iTunes behaves as if the end of the song is reached and goes on to the next tune. This usually happens in the first 20 seconds or so, though there have been cases where it happens later (and maybe more where it would have happened if I had happened to listen further) as well as instances where only a fraction of a second of the song will play.
These files will play perfectly well in the Finder or in a browser. It appears that something happens to them when they are added to the library. I have had some success with simply using xattr to edit the metadata (what is edited doesn't seem to matter -- I was just trying lots of things) before copying to the iTunes library, but that doesn't always work. Sometimes, deleting the song from iTunes and re-adding it will eventually work (after around seven or eight tries, when it does -- super annoying!) Doing things to the original file (i.e., before it is "added") can seem to affect this behavior, though in unpredictable ways; but once it is added, there doesn't appear to be anything you can do.
So, my speculation is that something happens to the files when they are copied. If the file has been copied and is in the iTunes library, "create AAC/mp3 version" from the Advanced menu fails and displays error # -50. I can't find a definition for that error, but maybe someone knows? (Speaking of which, why IS it so difficult to find out what the error codes refer to? Is there a list somewhere? Because that would be pretty useful.)
(Also, btw, I have looked around for other solutions to this problem, and though I haven't found an answer, there have been others who have asked the question. The first answer usually given in these situations is to make sure the start/stop time boxes in the options aren't checked. Well, they aren't.)
Has anyone else experienced this, or know what's going on? TIA.

Are those songs variable bit rate?
It kinda sounds like you might need the VBR fix, although why they worked OK on your old PC. I'm not sure.

Songs not playing all the way through.

When playing songs in iTunes, whether bought in iTunes or not, sometimes the song stops playing with 30 seconds left and goes to the next song. Why is this happening and how do i fix it?

SOLVED.
For a purchased song from iTunes that wont play all the way through, I did this:
Deleted the file from iTunes, including iCloud (if you have it)
Went back to trash and removed it to the desktop and re-added it back into iTunes.
File that did play only 1:23 of 3:00 mins now plays all the way through without skipping ahead/cutting off the rest of the song.
Synced re-imported song back to iPod and it plays perfectly. Can't believe this hasnt been figured out yet! Or even Apple support suggesting this.
The hard part is figuring out which songs do this as I only discovered the tracks by random shuffle and thought wth? Why wont it finish playing? Good luck guys. Hope this helps.
Did you notice if the problem was with imported tracks or purchased only tracks? It seems all mine were purchased tracks from the iTunes store with the extension .m4p

Songs on my iTouch are not playing all the way through

Hello,
I have an iTouch 5th generation. The songs on it are not playing all the way through or simply do not play for the entire duration of song. The songs that do not play all the way through leaves the rest of the song being 'played' with no sound. Another problem is that the current song will stop playing in the beginning, middle, or the end and another song starts. The next song will begin play while the current song continues to play, but with the current song having an absence of sound. It's kind of hard to describe. All of this started to happen after my iTouch crashed and I had to restore it. There is also another thing that factors into this problem. Most of the songs that are not working are the ones that I have bought from iTunes. I have also discovered that there are some other songs that I have downloaded from CDs that are not working, as well. The songs that I have bought from iTunes and have downloaded from CDs work properly on my other iPod and on my computer. So, I am thinking that the problem lies with the iTouch, itself.
Some of the things that I have tried are taking all of the music off of my itouch and then reloading it again on it. That did not work. Then I figured that I would load a single playlist with a problematic album. This did not work. I then tried taking that playlist off and then reloaded all of my library onto my iTouch. That didn't work either. Another issue is that I don't know if I can redownload the music that I bought off of iTunes to correct the problem. Another issue that goes along with this is that I had bought all of my music on another computer. I don't know if that makes a difference, but, again, I really don't think it is the songs that are the problem.
I have also made sure that my computer doesn't go to sleep when I load my music onto my iTouch and that my external (which stores my entire music library) does not go to sleep.
All of my apps work and everything else seems fine.
I really cannot figure out this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

4 albums purchased from iTunes yesterday have songs not playing all the way through. They play for a period of time and skip to the next song. Everytime they are played. Can anyone help?

Some songs I purchased last night are not playing all the way through. Several songs from the 4 albums I purchased play for a period of time then just skip to the next song. The songs that do this, do it everytime they are played at the exact same spot. The songs that are affected skip to the next on iTunes on my PC which is updated to the most current iTunes and my 160gb iPod classic. Everytime they are played at the exact same spot. However on my other device, iPhone 4s all songs play just fine. I have almost 7,000 songs on my iPod and this has never happened before and I have played it awhile since downloading those albums yesterday. This is only happening with the albums purchased yesterday. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?

I'm having the same issue with a few songs I just downloaded. It skips randomly in the middle of the song.

I purchased a song a few days ago and downloaded the whole song and the song will not play all the way through it only plays 23 seconds. How do I fix this problem?

Thanks for this post. It corrected my similar issue. Note that you need to exit from/re-enter iTunes after deleting the song from your Purchased list.

Why wont my songs play all the way through

Hi,
I bought the Fall Out Boy PaxAm Days album a few months ago and it the songs wouldn't play on the computer I purchased them on. So today I tried a different computer and they all downloaded but half of the songs will not play all the way through. I'm perturbed that I can't play them or get my 5 dollars back.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello GHarchack,
It sounds like you made a purchase from the iTunes Store and downloaded the songs but they will not all play the entire way through. It sounds like the files in question may not have downloaded completely. Try deleting the affected songs from your computer:

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
Then you can redownload them from your purchased history usign the following article:

Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).

You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album.
