TS3297 Purchased album & some songs only play 30 secs

I purchased an album and ceratin songs only plays 15-30 seconds through before the track skips onto the next one (even though the song is over 2 minutes long).  I've checked the songs "info" and made sure that the stop and start time was not selected, which they are not.  Has anyone else had this issue? 
This is the first time I have encountered this issue, but it definately got me reconsidering purchasing music from iTunes again if this issue can't be resolved.

Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Downloaded an album, some songs only play partially

    Just downloaded an album, one of the songs only plays partially and skips to the next one.  First time I've had this problem - any solutions out there?  Thanks for taking the time.

    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 am sorry to hear. Yes it's very disappointing and the fact that you can't at least re-download your purchase makes it that much more irritating haha well thank you and good luck!

  • 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?

  • 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).

  • HT203167 Some songs only play a few seconds

    Just downloaded new John Mayer, Born and Raised, album and there are about 6 songs that will start playing but only play a few seconds of the song and the skip to the next track.  Can't find any answers in iTunes support.  Any suggestions????

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies 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, or that facility is not available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • 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.

  • Purchased and downloaded songs only playing short snippets

    I recently purchased an iMac. I have gone through iTunes and authorized the iMac on my iTunes and I have successfully downloaded purchased songs. But, the songs will only play in short 1 minute snippets. How do I fix this?

    Delete the tracks from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the tracks 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 tracks persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Purchased albums, some songs did not download, although i was billed for them.

    I recently purchased 2 albums on iTunes, although I was billed for them, 3 songs did not download, they are not in the 'to be downloaded' screen either.  At first they did show up in my Purchase file, however, there was a large black dot by them and they were grayed out.  Is there anyway to restore them or do I have to call support? I tried reporting it, but it wouldn't do anything.

    Hi MMRV,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can redownload previous purchases by following this article:

  • Ipod Nano 3rd Gen: some songs only play in iTunes, and not on the iPod, help?

    I have a couple of songs on my ipod which will not play on the ipod: when I click them, it skips and plays the next song. They play perfectly fine on my ipod touch and itunes though.
    Any solutions?

    Sounds like the problem I have with my nano 3g. Mine happens with Podcasts. One plays audio, but not video, the rest don't play, skips through all the audio podcasts. I'll watch your post, I did the 5Rs.

  • TS1362 On one purchased album some songs stop half way through.

    Are these files corrupted? If so can I re-download working files?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again using the Purchased link in the right-hand column of the iTunes Store home page.

  • 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.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks only 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 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.
