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

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).

I have a few songs that after purchasing on i-tunes, they play for a few seconds and that's it. How do I fix this? Do I have to delete them from my i-tunes folder and then go to songs purchased and download them again?

Yes, assuming you are in a region where you are permitted to redownload your music purchases delete the copies of the corrupt 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 the problem persists contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

TS1424 I downloaded the Bowie album "Tonight". One song, God Only Knows, appears to have downloaded the full length, but it will only play for a few seconds. Ideas?

How does one recapture a song that didn't really download, but which the APple Store thinks has been purchased already?

I just downladed an album from itunes, but three of the songs only play 16 to 20 seconds and then go to the next song.

Why when you purchase and album from itunes do some songs only play for 20 seconds?

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.

I bought an album on iTunes and 3 of the songs only play for 30 seconds. I have tried re-downloading the album 3 times and the problem has not been fixed. I would like some help please and thank you.
