TS4357 HELP! Some songs stop...????

Recently, I downloaded the Fantasia 2000 album (which my kids love), but some of the songs stop after just a few seconds. For some reason, the album did not also download to the cloud (like other purchases), so I have no idea how to try and re-download. Or is there some other issue. This is the first time I've had this happen. Any and all suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

In random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

in random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

I've heard this excuse before, that what we think is random really isn't, but when certain trends occur enough times, its pretty clear that there is some kind of algorithm or something in the coding that affects the shuffle.
I know random means random, but there are too many "random" coincidences and apparent patterns that occur to raise doubt that it truly is as random as Apple claims.
One such example, is that when using the Shuffle Songs feature (that shuffles all tracks on the iPod) I had 2-3 tracks from the same album (an album I had never even listened to yet) showing up within the first 40 tracks five times in a row. Numerous other songs showed up in at least 3 of the 5 "trials." Out of 8,000 songs.
On a playlist (of 300 or less songs is all I have tried), if you have multiple songs off the same album, you are far more likely to hear at least one other song off a given album within about 10 songs then you are to not hear a song off the same album. A specific example of this is on a playlist of 105 songs I have, there are 3 songs off one album, however nearly every time 2 of the songs will play within a 10 track range, and nearly as often all 3 songs will play within the same 20 track range.
I know random isn't perfectly spaced songs, but when certain things happen often enough, the odds of it become so low that even the "true random" explanation doesn't cover it.

Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
Thank you.

This has started to happen to me too.

Some songs stop playing after minute 1

I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

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 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.
BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.

Help, Some songs just wont play from mediasource off of

Most of my music plays when i plug in my zen touch too my comp, but their are some songs media source wont play. just random songs just wont work. i check to see if they are different from the ones that do work and they are the same file and stuff. If anyone could help id really appreciate it.

How about transferring the "problematic" tracks from your MP3 player to PC and then use MediaSource to play the tracks from the PC?

For certain songs on my iPhone 4s with iOS7 some songs stop playing audio but continue playing the song almost as if it were muted. Where can I fix this? Say "Stronger" by Kanye West stops playing sound after 2:25 but it is 5 minutes long.

Basically it is just like it says. Certain songs stop playing sound after a certain point in the song but the song continues playing and ticking down like it normally would. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi I found the answer from another post. So far everything is working find. I been trying to fix this since march,

Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

My iPhone 4s music library is glitchy... skipping some songs, stops playing others... ideas?

Since upgrading to an iPhone 4s, I have noticed some strange behavior from my music player. Nearly every time I play music for more than 20-30 minutes, something will happen and a song will suddenly skip or just stop playing altogther. It is extremely weird. It will physically not allow me to back up to the song that skipped, or start it over.
This is not a permissions issue, everything is fine on that end. It is almost always when shuffling my music, although tonight when I noticed it happen to a particular song, I tried to play it buy selecting the exact song (and then album) and it would still not play. Tried it on my iTunes library on my MBP immediately after and it played just fine.
I have seen very old discussions about AAC format. Nearly 100% of my music is AAC (the particular song tonight is even one purchased from iTunes), and my library has never had any issues like this before, including my old iPhone 4 or any of the numerous iPods, iPads and computers that I've run.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
Suggestions?

Ok, I have been here and found an answer....
Assuming you are steaming using Bluetooth and the problem only started after updating to IOS6.... ?
I stream to a good hifi system so my answer is only related if you are steaming to a Bluetooth adapter or a
Bluetooth enabled system
And also...
If you are using Bluetooth & ios6....+ here is an answer I got ...
Many producers of Bluetooth adapters etc.... Use bt2.1 and state compatible with bt4.
Trouble is, bt4 wasn't around at the time so they assumed compatibility.
Now.... From IOS6.... Apple upgraded to bt4, gives better Bluetooth connectivity so they are delivering added benefit.
A lot of older bt adapters have firmware bugs with bt4.
I contacted my supplier who wouldn't agree but threatened legal action if I was to publish...
Can't of ford the fight so... Sold my bt receiver on eBay and bought an apple airport express.
Problem solved and also, i got a better quality of music.
Remember you do need wifi to use the airport express but who hasn't got that these days ?
One last point...
if you are streaming to a decent hifi system and choose to do go down the airport express route
The mini adapter.... Headphone out socket on the airport express is also a mini toslink socket...
So, if you want to get the best from your music (limited by iTunes of course) you can use the toslink optical digital output .
Then you get into Dacs etc and start spending more n more...
Hope this helps

HT204406 When downloading albums some songs stop with error messages..

Hi, I was trying to download Armin van Buuren "A State of Trance 2011". The individual songs downloaded fine but both continuous dj mixes failed to download, they get right to the end and then stop with error messages. This is the 2nd Armin van Buuren album this has happened to! Please help!
Dave.

The 2nd mix still won't play, it just skips to the next track on the album. In my purchases it says it's downloaded, it just won't seem to play.
It sounds damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you get another -50 on the redownload, perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Need help- some songs will import as tracks some wont

Im doing a cut and splice project for a dance program for a friend. almost completed, ive imported all her songs and have cut the proper portions of the songs she wants and heave re exported to itunes. Perfect. But there are three tracks i that wont convert in garage band. i dont see anything different about their format. just mp3 files, Im not doing anything different from the other tracks.

If they are not songs purchased for the iTunes music store (which as Scott said, are copy protexted), then use the Never-Fail™ method to convert them:

IPod Nano (2nd generation) stops playing some songs after 30-60 seconds

I purchased a 2nd generation 2 GB iPod Nano last week (03/13/07) and experienced problem with some songs stopping after 30-60 seconds and then skipping to the next song.
The songs in question were downloaded in Mp3 format from a CD and they play fine and in their entirity from the iTunes library.
I tried the 5Rs but with no success. Thinking the iPod Nano was defective, I exchanged it today (03/16/07) however, the same problem persists and with the same songs.
I tried compressing the songs but that made matters worse, i.e., the play duration shortened and/or the songs didn't play at all.
Is this an iPod Nano issue or a problem with certain songs? Given that the identical problem exists with two brand new units, I suspect the latter but I don't know what to do.
The songs are not "read only" or "origin-protected".
Appreciate any assist.
Thanks.

I've experienced the same problem with some songs that will start playing for few seconds but then skip to the next song. This is with songs I've ripped from CDs and transferred from an old computer. I've tried the 5 R's, repeatedly. It does not help. Is there anyway to fix this other than deleting the songs from my computer and re-downloading from CD's? I've got over 1,800 songs on my iPod and really don't want to go through each one to figure out which I need to reload.

Some songs dont work after a few weeks

I use listentoyoutube.com to dwnload my songs. a few weeks after i dwnload them, some songs stop working. i select the song on my ipod and it plays the next song that works. wen i redwnload the songs, it works fine. my sister's shuffle works fine, my other sister's nano has the same problem too, but different songs don't work on hers. i have tried restoring and resetting my ipod but it hasnt worked.

iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide will tell you which type of audio files will play correctly on the iPod Nano 5th Gen with Video.

Some songs truncate

I just got a new computer and finally got my music moved. Now, some songs stop before finishing--that is, the sound stops but it keeps playing (of course I can't hear it). Went to the Apple store. A genius told me to unsync my music by unchecking the big check under "music" (clearing my iPod) and then to recheck. I did but the same test song is still truncating at about the same place.
What's going on?

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

One song stops after a few seconds on a new ipod touch, need some help

So I just got a 16gb iPod Touch as a gift and it works fine, all my songs play fine except for one of my songs that stops after like 7 seconds of playing. If I have it on repeat it will keep doing the same thing but if I forward the song a bit it will play fine till the end. Now this song plays fine on my PC, and it has played fine on my previous iPod video. Any one have any idea on why this is happening? It's kinda scaring me since I don't have the receipt for this iPod Touch and thats one of my favorite songs.

I had the same problem with one particular track I downloaded off Limewire earlier today and I've downloaded lotsa stuff on there over the years. I guess I'm fortunate compared to some of you with like 10 songs affected.
Anyways a little troubleshooting helps here. First off, it shouldn't be happening with any track downloaded off iTunes. Those are clean as a whistle in my experiences although iPod touch had some bug issues with songs stopping few seconds into them when they first came out last year. That problem appears to have been rectified unless you guys haven't done an update lately on your units.
So if you're downloading off Limewire or some other peer-to-peer service, you're probably getting a corrupted file that is causing this problem. I tried a couple different file downloads of the same song from different users and parameters until I found one that finally worked. It is true that a corrupted file will play on the older iPods because in my case it did on my 80GB and on my computer. It's only iPod touch that appears finicky about what it wants to play.
This is most likely therefore not a bug specific issue with Apple that you can rely on fix. You guys are probably gonna have to find new source files for your affected songs until you get one that works. Pain in the arse no doubt but the only real solution.
Cheers!
