Why are the songs in iTunes randomly stoping and starting?

Is it due to the processing power of my laptop? Because it has only been happening the past day or so and coincidently enough, my laptop has been getting slower and taking a longer time to load things than usual.
Now just as I'm writing this, iTunes seems to be trying to prove me wrong and is not stopping and starting songs randomly, but just for future referenc,e anyone know what the cause of the problem is?
Cheers.

What are your hardware specs?
OS, version of iTunes, etc....
Is this on a computer or iOS device?
iPods can change the playback speeds, but in iTunes on desktop/laptop, it could be caused by other programs.

Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) may not appear, or may appear grayed out in iCloud. This can occur if your computer is not authorized for playback of that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match.
To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for, locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
Choose File > Get Info.
In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column and write it down.
Click OK.

Type in the account name from the Summary field and its password. Click Authorize.

Why are the songs in my iphone playlists grey and I can't move them.

Why are the songs in my iPhone playlists grayed out. I am unable to move and organize them. I just downloaded some audio books from Audible and I cannot moved them to a playlist on my iPhone either. What step am I missing?

So, if I haven't made any albums, I can't move pictures in the main window of the Organizer?
Yes, you can't. The default order in the main window is based on date, ascending or descending when you are in the standard 'thumbnail view'. If you are in 'folder' view, with your folders shown in the left panel, you are shown the pictures in alphabetical order of the file names.
I haven't created albums yet.
I have so many pictures. I wanted to put all the pictures for each album next to each other so I can find them easily.
It's not difficult to create albums and 'drag' pictures in it. When an album is selected, you can move your pictures around in any order in the main window panel.
Albums are one way of grouping and ordering pictures. You should try to use keywords to organize and retrieve your pictures.

I bought an album and almost all the songs stop at random points and change to another song on devices and on my computer.

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.

Why are the songs I've deleted off my Ipod grayed out?

I've deleted the songs manually off my ipod, as there is an option to do so. However, when I click into my songs on the Ipod, there are the songs that I had already deleted and are grayed out. They won't play-because I've deleted them. I've gone as far as deleting them off my Itunes and computer all together. The grayed out songs are still there and will not go away! Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?

Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

Try this:

Why are my song ratings getting randomized with each sync instead of saving the correct ones from the device I latest changed on to the other (PC iPod)

Simple thing. Would be very useful to use.
I listen to any songs, mark their ratings with what I think.
Then the moment I sync my iPod to iTunes (windows 7) All the ratings are getting just randomized. Most of them gets deleted, others get changed to ones I surely didn't touch.
No matter wich device I set them on.
I tried to do on iPod then sync to PC -> gone random
I tried to rate in iTunes then sync to iPod -> gone again.
I did separately the same ratings on my iPod and iTunes, then synced -> RATINGS GONE!
Fix this issue please. It has absolutely no use at the moment.
Cheers.

Your Comcast accounts are POP (unless you enrolled in the Comcat Beta test of Imap) so they won't sync at all. Either enroll in the Beta test or don't use Comcast.
Your iCloud account is Imap and should sync just fine, unless you have set it up incorrectly.

Why are the songs i bought on itunes play the whole song?

I just bought 2 music albums and some of the songs downloaded are not playing all the way to the end. What do I do to fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (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.

HT1347 When I Convert my MP3 to iTunes Library, Import why are the song title, artwork, artist name are gone?

thank You Steven G.

I don't understand what you are actually doing. You can import an MP3 file into your iTunes Library without conversion.
Either drag the MP3 into iTunes from it's location on your computer or use Add File To Library. Either way, the file should then list in your library, complete with the tag information.

Why did the songs disappear iTunes?

ok, iTunes only allows 5 devices to be authorized per account. Recently I purchased and iPad and now between me and my wife we have 6 devices (2 pcs, 2 iPhones and 2 iPads). Most of our music is DRM free, i.e. we imported it from CDs or bought it off Amazon or some other site and imported it to iTunes. Some of the mp3s were bought from iTunes and in order to play the ones that are DRM protected (about 30 tracks) the device needs to be "authorized" through the iTunes store. Since we have six devices I decided to just let my wife take ownership of the old account and I would create a new account for myself and repurchase the 30 tracks that require "authorization" through the Apple store under my new Apple ID. Yesterday I went through and made a note ( "NOAUTH") in the Comment field of each of the songs that wouldn't play so I could purchase the songs. Today I went to make a list of the songs so I could start the purchase process and all the songs that I had marked as "NOAUTH" are gone!! Did iTunes delete them?

Nobody likes replying to posts like this - if you've searched all your hard drives and the music files are gone, then they're gone.
I assume you looked in the Recycle Bin and did a Win Explorer search instead of just looking in the known folders?
Who knows why this happened! Disasters like this usually convince folks to make regular backups.

Why are the songs that I uploaded to the iCloud always graying out?

I've uploaded 14,000 songs to the Cloud. Now most are grayed out. Sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't. This happens on my MacBook as well as my iPhone 6. I'm signed in so that isn't the issue.
Also, why did the iCloud delete a whole bunch of my uploads? These were CDs like Tool and a few collector's songs that aren't in general release?

How did you do this?

Why are the songs in my albums no longer numerical?

Can some one please help me figure out how all of my songs in albums went from being display numerically to being all mixed up? I don't have the shuffle option turned on so I'm not sure how they are being shuffled. I have rebooted my device and its still the same issue. If I plug ipad into my laptop and do a sync, the songs go back to their proper order for awhile, but then they are back to being shuffled. Grrr. Any suggestions?

Why are the songs in the 69 cent list not 69 cents? Most are at their normal price right now?!

I tried to purchase some $0.69 songs, and when I went to buy them, a message appears that says the price is now $1.29. Why does the discounted price show when it is being billed at the original price?

Wow May 23rd huh? I just posted the same question and it's July. I feel I may have been getting jipped for quite some time here. I guess that's what I get for not paying attention.

HT5085 why are the songs I've bought on my iphone not accessible anymore?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the songs in the iTunes Store, you can simply transfer them from the iPhone. To do it, plug the iPhone to the PC and open iTunes. Then, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases.
If you don't see the menu bar, hold the Alt key
