What happened? Songs converted to other. . .

I have a 60gb video ipod, software version 1.1, running itunes 7 on windows XP. Never really had anyproblems. Have not installed new software or itunes to keep it that way. Bought a few songs on itunes last nightight and plugged in my ipod to download them. In the itunes status box it said something about analyzing songs for gap playback. . . it took some time. Then I went to play my ipod today and all my songs (1477) were gone. It shows my storage is approx 6 gb in other, nothing under audio or video. Can someone please tell me what happened? I am sure it said update complete and I did not unplug too early. ???

ipodwrk,
In most cases it will be a one time thing for the whole library, as songs are added they will be checked for gapless playback going forward.
If you turn off crossfade in the iTunes playback preferences, iTunes will try to play the songs gaplessly. This means iTunes will use the information from the analyzing gapless playback step to try and skip silence at the beginning and end of song files. Crossfade tries to overlap them some, similiar to how a radio station or live DJ might.
Some iPod models also support gapless playback as well.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • What happens when I delete other versions of Photoshop?

    What should I do before house cleaning?

    You might keep CC as a backup plan to CC 2014. Some extensions and plugins have not yet been updated.

  • What happened to linking to other slide decks in Keynote 6.0

    It appears that another bit of simple technology was removed from Keynote 6.0 - linking to other slide decks! This is a key advantage that PowerPoint has had. I really was hoping the same functionality would have been incorportated into the new Keynote. Now it appears one can only create links to other slides within the deck, a website, or email. Definitiely some key customization functionality has been removed. Not good.

    Lots of other features gone:

  • What happened to the "Create New Mp3 Version" option in iTunes 11.2.2?

    I tried going into the file encoder in Edit>Preferences>General>Import Options because there is usually an option that I can set it to that will allow me to make an mp3 copy of any song (purchased or copied off of a CD), but I see now that it does not work any more and I'm completely clueless as to why. I've been searching the threads but they have been no help. I've looked at the outdated support page, which says to do exactly the thing that no longer works for me. Can anyone help me? I'm using Win8 and would prefer not to use any converters outside of iTunes. Thank you!

    Okay, for some reason, I tried this yesterday at least six times and it did not even change the settings. Today, I went into the Import Settings and changed it to mp3 encoder, hit 'OK', then hit 'OK' in the preference menu (same thing I did yesterday) and it suddenly decided to show up. That was weird... Sorry, but thanks for writing anyway. I don't know what happened...

  • Closing One iTunes Account to Use Another, What Happens Next?

    Hey,
    I recently setup a .Mac Account for my iWeb, and now want to use the same username for my iTunes, instead of a hotmail.com Apple ID (aID).
    I contacted Apple and they said that I can't merge the two accounts.
    In my Hotmail aID Account I still have come credit on the count, $24.00 approx.
    Now here's a solution I thought.
    If I GIFT a television show to myself at my new .Mac aID - it will use the credit in my account...
    Now I have a couple of questions:
    1) Who's account name will appear on the gifted television show? My new or old ID?
    2) What happens to all the other content that I have purchased with my old account? Will I still be able to play these?
    Can anyone see any problems in this solution.... its the only way I can think of getting around the merge... I want to stop my Hotmail aID and use my new .Mac aID.
    THANKS for any advice and help.

    I have a similar issue. I would like to change an existing Apple ID to a MobileMe address. However, since an Apple ID is automatically created when you sign up for MobileMe, I was not allowed to change my existing Apple ID to the new MobileMe e-mail address. It does not make since that this is not possible, especially since both are Apple products and MobileMe is a paid service. This is a hassle when making iTunes purchases as I will have to maintain login info and authorizations for both my old Apple ID and the new MobileMe created Apple ID. Is it possible to close an Apple ID account. If so, I could close the MobileMe created Apple ID and then change the e-mail address on the old Apple ID to the new MobileMe address. Sounds kinda confusing. If this is possible, how do you do it? Thanks in advance.

  • What happened with Still Image ratios?

    Just 2 months ago I exported still images from my HDV 1080/24p time line (1440X1080), as Jpegs and they automatically saved as 1920x1080 stills files (I assume to preserve aspect ration). Now when I do that I can only get 1440X1080, 4:3 ratio stills.
    What happened? Any fix other than Photoshop?

    Restore your library from an up to date backup.
    If you don't have a backup (which you really should), see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for steps necessary to restore your library within iTunes - this assumes that your media is all present on your computer, as it always should be.
    Otherwise, see tt2's notes on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

  • What happened to The Daily Show and Colbert Report in iTunes Store?

    I was looking on iTunes today and couldn't find ANY recent episodes of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart available for download and couldn't purchase the 04/07/09 episode or another earlier episode I put on my "wish list". The same thing seems to be happening with The Colbert Report. Was there an announcement by iTunes that the shows are no longer going to be available or are they in the middle of updating their content? Why aren't older episodes available for download?
    Who do you contact about the iTunes store/content?

    Okay, for some reason, I tried this yesterday at least six times and it did not even change the settings. Today, I went into the Import Settings and changed it to mp3 encoder, hit 'OK', then hit 'OK' in the preference menu (same thing I did yesterday) and it suddenly decided to show up. That was weird...

  • TS2972 I just updated all of our computers to itunes 11 and now when we try to use our home sharing, we can't import songs.  What happened to the easily located "import song" feature?  I wish now that I wouldn't have updated to the new itunes 11.

    I recently updated all of the computers in the house to itunes 11.  Now when we try to import songs from homesharing, we are unable to.  What happened to the conveniently located "import song" button on the old version of itunes.  Please help an old mother out please!

    diesel vdub, i use 11.1.1
    solved the issue today. first sync with itunes, so all the stiff you bought on the mobile will be backuped.
    1. uncheck sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be erased from mobile device
    2. check music player on the mobile device. just the unwanted songs will still be there
    3. go on the iphone to settings, general, usage, music player. there is just a few mb from the remaining unwanted songs. swipeleft and erase the content. switch iphone off and on again
    4. repeat step 2. there will be no data. otherwise repeat step 3
    5. check sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be back again but not the unwanted songs.

  • I have lost most of my i tunes library.  Many of the lost songs are are my ipod.  What happens if I load plug my ipod into the computer?  Will I erase whats on the ipod because there'll be no match found on my itunes library.  Or..will I be allowed to mov

    I have lost my i tunes library.  Many of my lost songs are on my two nano i pods.
    Since I have lost my i tunes library I have re-installed most songs.  However I have a large number of songs on my i pods which I would like to retrieve.  If I try to load my i pods to my computer will I lose the songs which I could not get re-installed to my library but are on the i pods.  Since I lost my library I have not re-introduced my i pods for updating since they too will likely have to be re-installed.  Will I lose the songs already in the i pods if have to re-introduce them to my computer.  A solution to this problem would be for me to transfer my lost library songs from the i pod to my library.  Can this be done?
    1)  Is it possible to retrieve songs from a lost i tunes library?  Withoutout re-loading the entire library (since I have done this manually).
    2)  What happens if I re-introduce my i pods to the computer?  Will this cause me to lose the present i pod installed music?
    3)  Can I transfer my lost songs and albums from my i pods to the i tunes library?

    As you will have discovered, the music sync is only one way, from iTunes to the iPod, minus iTunes purchases.  On top of that, an iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.

  • ITunes no longer loads "checked" songs onto my iPhone 5.  It seem to be all or nothing or choose from the 4 categories.  What happened to "sync only checked songs?"

    In the case you aren't trolling, here's some alternative mapping services.
    Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.

  • I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. What happened?

    I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. The only sharing options I have are for Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes, and as Ringtone. What happened? I'm using the Garageband App 1.4(180.6) This happened once before, and by the time I'd gotten done submitting my question, the problem was fixed.

    I powered my iPad off, and started it back up. Works fine now. huh.

  • When my iPod syncs, over 100 songs no longer download.  What happened?  They used to download but now they don't.

    When my iPod syncs, over 100 songs (much of the library, actually) no longer download.  What happened?  This used to work just fine.

    This just happened to me this morning. When I left work on Friday, everything was working in iTunes. And now this morning, I open up iTunes and nothing plays. I did all the troubleshooting from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 and nothing helped. Anyone have any ideas???
