Where's the music?

I just got the iPod Classic 80GB for Christmas... it was great for the first week or so. As i started to add more music, I noticed that some songs did not get put onto my iPod; this kept happening more and more. I then realized that when my iPod was connected to my MacBook is showed that I had all the songs I was suppose to have... yet the majority of my music is not actually able to be played on my iPod. It is just skipped over or only plays the first couple of seconds. I have asked around, searched for answers without success.
Does anyone else have this problem?? Does anyone have a solution?? This is a brand new gift... and I would hate to have to tell my mom that she has to send it back to be replaced.

If the music is on the iPod but skips when you play it then you are probably looking at a bug that's been discussed elsewhere. The iPod seems to have a problem playing certain tracks. It appears to be related to minor inconsistencies in the way the files have been encoded and often shows up between 5 & 10 seconds into the song. The same tracks will play in iTunes and on other devices. The workaround seems to be to get iTunes to rencode the file, either in another codec (convert mp3 > aac or vice-versa) or at a different bit-rate. Keep your original files in case they fix it as any conversion will result in a small loss of quality.

  • Where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

    I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this issue or not: Does anyone else feel like, after searching for specific songs, there's just little to nothing in the database? I feel like most of my searches are pointless because iTunes has either no data of my requested search and/or only has bits and pieces of it.
    Another question I have: After having a slightly successful search, why am I left with low quality tunes? I mean, you can hear the compression... badly. (I know it's not my speakers)
    Last question: If I'm paying for the song, shouldn't I be allowed to download a universal file? iTunes uses a unique format that no other application uses. In other words, more money has to be spend for m4a to mp3 converters (unless you're a cracker [not a racial comment]).
    To me, I value iTunes and its team, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand there are contracts involved with the artists and it's hard to please ALL of the subscribers. But seriously, where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

    Today I thought of finally putting lyrics on my songs. So I've been quite some time busy doing that, then I tried it on my iPad (2) and I can't find them. Just as the people above say. Then I went to search where I can find them and I found this page. I'm really dissapointed and I don't understand how something like this could happen. So I hope Apple will fix this soon.

  • HT4527 Where are the music I transferred with the Migration Assistant?

    I used the Migration Assistant to move my music library on iTunes to a new one, and both my new Macbook and old computer said the music transfer worked. However, I can´t seem to find the music files on my Mac that I wanted to transfer. Where are they, and how can I move them into iTunes?

    Log out, log in to the migrated account, locate the music, drag it to the /Users/Shared/ folder, and from there to the first account's home folder.

  • Where'd The Music Store CD Info go?

    I have been loading CD's into iTunes for over a week now. For much of that time, I have been seeing info in the Music store which tied into whatever CD I was importing. For instance, if I was loading in a Pink Floyd CD, I would see info in the Music Store section about it and also info about Syd Barret, or other songs that were related as well as listener reviews etc.
    But in the last few days, I see nothing but the words Music Store. No info. What did I do? Where did the info go?

    Do you mean the little Music store at the bottom of iTunes that shows when you have something selected?

  • Where is the MUSIC ONLY playlist???????????

    I'm posting this again because I feel there is no other way to get the opinion heard. If you agree with this post, please respond with your thoughts.
    I wake up in the morning and I just want to hit the shuffle button and play music while I get ready for work. But wait... I can't do this!!!!!!!!! My "Library" is now full of audio podcasts and video podcasts, TV episodes and Music videos.. oh yeah.. and Music.
    Hmm this seems odd. I've got a Podcast library.. where in I can listen to only podcasts.... I've got a Video library where in I can view only video content. I've even got a radio library. And, of course, the LIBRARY which holds everything. However, there seems to be one library curiously missing from this MUSIC player... hmm what is it..... MY GOD! it's a MUSIC LIBRARY! The iTunes Music player is missing a MUSIC library!!!??? What the...... ! With all the excitement about Podcasts and Broadband video content.. The music is starting to take a back seat.. While I love all this new content, sometimes I just want to hear my good old music.
    Don't tell me I've got to make some kind of gigantic playlist of all my music and update it whenever I add a new song? That would be a work around. Apple is known for being intuitive and easy to use... remember... "I'm a Mac"... "and I'm a PC".
    So my point to Apple is, take this oversight and fix it. Please add a Music ONLY library to your iTunes Music player. Or some other feature that automatically lets the music be separated from all the other itunes content.
    If you agree, please respond. Lets see if we can change the most popular music player in the world.
    Rock on!

    In addition to the Search Bar, I also make sure the "Skip when shuffling" option is checked for each and every podcast and video in my library. This way, even if I forget to select the Music tab in the Search Bar, I'm still guaranteed to never hear a podcst when I'm playing on shuffle.

  • Where is the music coming from? It's not affiliated w/ any of my open web pages. Make it stop!

    This only happens in MFF (I have 3.6). When the browser opens and the tabs begin loading, this horrible music starts playing. None of the sites I have in the tabs play music. All of my plug-ins seem to be Microsoft related. I have XP and my AV is Kaspersky and I run MFF in safe mode. Where is this music coming from and how can I get it to stop? Please help. Thank you in advance!

    A week after my first call to AppleCare, I called again for help. This time the Tech was very helpful and she did not ask for additional $$.
    My computer does not have an Airport card in it. To get my new Extreme-n to recognize my Express so that I can send iTunes wirelessly to my stereo, we spent an hour on the phone working through a manual setup. It included an initial hard-wired Ethernet connection to both Airports. It included manually copying the AirportID number from one device to the other, and then the reverse. It also took three different “hard-resets” of my Express. My “simple” Extreme-n to Express wireless connection is now working properly.
    Kudos to my Tech; she was very knowledgeable and very patient.
    Boos to Apple Extreme-n team for releasing a product without a comprehensive setup utility. This should have been a simple ten-minute set-up procedure, just like it was for my old Airport Extreme base station.
    Bottom line: Keep calling AppleCare until you get a good Tech to help.

  • Where has the music store gone?

    Hi there,
    I have just moved to South Africa with a new Touch so I've been a bit preoccupied recently. I have now realised that iTunes opens in the Apps Store and I can't find my way to the music store
    Where has it gone and is there a way I can change it back to opening there again?
    Many thanks,
    Russell

    Sigh.... This has been asked and answered here dozens of times. Music, movie and video content in the iTunes Store will come to other countries if and when Apple can work out all the multitude of licensing, copyright and royalty issues with all the various entities that hold the distribution rights in your country, along with any legal and infrastructure issues that might arise.

  • Where are the Music Files for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2?

    I wanted to get the soundtrack from the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 files using WinRar, and when I went into my Local Disk (c, and pressed program files. Then went to the folder entitled UbiSoft I pressed the GRAW2 folder. I then pressed the data folder, and there are three folders in there movies, settings, and sound. I pressed the sound folder thinking the music would be in there, but it was empty and so is the settings folder. So where did they store the music files for the game?

    Its probably compressed into one big file and decompressed on the fly.

  • Where are the music?

    Just a quick question here. If I'm listening to music in iTunes, where are all the music stored, as in which directory. TIA!

    Where the files are that you are playing in iTunes will depend on how you have iTunes configured. If in iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>General you have the boxes "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked then the file iTunes uses this file structure to organise things:
    User/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Artist/Album/File name
    There are also folders for compilations, podcasts, TV shows, movies, games, and unknown.
    If you aren't letting iTunes do the organising then files you add to the library will be in the folders you originally stored them in. To tell where a file in the library is located, right click on it (hold down Control and click when using a one button mouse or pad) and choose "Show in Finder", this will take you directly to where the file is kept.

  • Where did the music go? iTMS Gifting Question

    I have a song/video that I got off the iTMS that many friends have said they would love to have. I would love to gift/share this with them, but when I went to do this the song/video can't be found anywhere.
    My Question: Is there a way to find music you know you got off the iTMS in order to Gift it?
    I know for sure I got it off the iTMS and I would love to purchase 30 copies to send to family and friends. Here is the song/video in case anyone can find it or would like to point me to where I can get it:
    'Someday' by Flipsyde (3:27)
    This is the song/video made for the Winter Olympics not the band's normal rendition. I personally don't care for the unedited version and really think that the video imagery adds to the music. I got the song/video on Feb 7th, 2006, but I can't find it anymore. I will gladly Gift a copy to anyone who can show me where it is and how I can Gift it to my friends.
    Thank you in advance.
    wms out.

    Is there a way to definitively tell whether or not something is available
    Other than just searching for it as many ways as you can think of, no. Usually making your searches less specific works best, though it will pull up more than you want.
    or a mechanism to request that a song/video be put back into circulation?
    You can submit suggestions for the iTunes Music Store through the feedback page. But if a track once carried by the iTMS is no longer there (as opposed to being listed but coming up with an "unavailable" error), it's probably because the record company cancelled the licensing, in which case there's probably little or nothing Apple can do.

  • HT4587 Where is the Music Tab in AirPort Utility? I am using 2TB Time Capsule

    I can't fond the Music Tab as specified in this article - "Ensure that "Enable AirPlay/AirTunes" is checked in the AirPort Utility Music tab."

    Neither the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme Base Station support music streaming. As such, if you access either with the AirPort Utility, the Music tab would be missing by design.

  • Where is the music i have bought in Itunes store?

    Hi,
    having a lot of trouble after installing itunes 9, i had to delete everything.
    How do i find the music i have already bought ?
    Please help

    No, they don't store your personal purchases on a server so you can download then again and again. They pay royalties to the artists for every download.
    If you have them on an ipod, you can get them off of that. Authorize your PC first. Then when you hook up your pod, be SURE to choose *TRANSFER PURCHASES*. Anything else will erase your ipod.
    Forum regular Zevoneer has really good posts about this, that explain in more detail, if you want to do a search. It gets asked daily.

  • PE13 where is the music panel

    I cannot find the music panel in PE13 64 bit. That term is specifically used in the manual. I have an Audio dialog box, but no Music Panel. I wanted to try SmartSounds, but I can't get at them because I can't find the Music Panel. The manual tells me that I can open the Music Panel from the action bar, but there is no Music Panel option in the action bar  drop-down.

    There is no SmartSounds in Premiere Elements 12 or 13. There is Music Score which is like SmartSound in concept, but is not SmartSound.
    In Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace, look under the Audio Tab.
    What you see above is a screenshot of Premiere Elements 13.1 which shows 3 choices instead of 2 under Audio Tab.
    The new choice is Frequently Used.
