Why do some songs skip on my iPod?

I have only noticed that one CD of music is doing this. There are about ten songs on this CD, which is loaded into my iTunes, then on to my iPod Classic (160GB). All songs play fine on my computer thruogh iTunes. However, only two of the ten play on my iPod, the rest are skipped over when played in sequence or shuffled. I have completely wipped it off the iPod and computer, loaded other songs, then reloaded this CD's music. The same thing happens, with the same songs. I have checked the menu under "Get Info" and "Options", which is "skip on shuffle". It is not checked. This is crazy, Help me please!

Troubleshooting songs that skip
Try:
- 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.
If necessary
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Last few seconds of some songs skipping

Under the new iTunes I am hearing the last few seconds of some songs skip or cut off abruptly when playing an album. If I go back to the songs and drag the slider near the end of the song they play fine. I reinstalled Itunes over top of itself but no joy. Has anyone else had this problem?. Thanks for any answers in advance. Allso I am running OSX Mavericks.

nope, not the cross fader. most songs play 100% fine, but i've noticed quite a few which just abruptly end around 30seconds before there supposed to. I origional thought it was a transfer error since I do have USB 1.1, but since the songs play fine off the ipod when using itunes, it can't be

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Where exactly are you looking and what do they look like, there are several iCloud icons used in iTunes.
Maybe a screenshot.

HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI. I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud. I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown.
I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

Just transfer them from iTunes.
If they are not in iTunes. connect the iPod, then File > Devices > Transfer purchases.
Then connect the iPhone and sync these songs.

Why are some songs in a "protected MPEG-4 audio" format

Why are some songs I've purchased in a "protected MPEG-4 audio" format?

iTunes store used to sell its music that way several years ago, but then removed DRM protection as a standard format I think 2 years ago. How long ago did you make the purchase? I don't think they still use it on any audio now, but it is definitely used on video.

Hey why does some songs seem to be louder then others?

Hey why does some songs seem to be louder then others? This is mostly noticeable between downloaded vs Imported cds.. Or is it my imagination?

It isn't your imagination, you'll find that older recordings have lower gain and will sound softer. You can use sound check to somewhat balance this out if you want.

Why do my songs skip to the next song mid way through the song?

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 some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them

Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
the songs are in the library

I had the same problem when only about 5% of my 11,000 song collection on my Ipad would play after downloading OS 7.0. I re synced my Ipad with ITunes on my MacBook selecting no music and all of the music was erased from the Ipad. I then re-synched it selecting all music, all songs re-loaded, and all songs play just fine.

Why do some songs in my library now only play for a few seconds and then skip onto another song?

Some songs that previously played without issue now just play for the first 10 seconds or so and then skip onto the next song

I wish I could provide you an answer, but I am experiencing the same issue myself. It's somehow iTunes related from what I have been able to figure out.
Here are a couple of clues I've picked up so far:
Somewhere between 20-30% of the songs in my library are affected.
I have only seen AAC encoded songs exhibit the problem (iTunes purchased, not imported).
I haven't seen the issue with any songs I bought after Jan 20, 2009.
Playing the same song file in quicktime doesn't reproduce the issue.
Affected songs skip on both iTunes and the iPod app of my iPhone 4 alike.
Forcing the song to stop at the end through the song options doesn't resolve the problem.
Songs skip (end) at random times from song to song, but repeatedly for each song at the same location.
The biggest clue that I've found is that when I find an affected file, almost all songs I purchased on that date exhibit the same problem. (I have only found a few examples when it does not affect every song on the same purchase date group.)
Some details about my setup:
Windows 7 Professional
iTunes version 10.6.3.25
iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2 issues: Some songs skip won't play 2nd issue: itouch will not open itunes

1. Some songs that played well when they were initially added to my ipod itouch, suddenly stopped playing and are skipping to the following songs. How can I fix this?
2. My ipod touch (which is the 1st generation) after updating it to version 3.1.3 will not sync with my itunes. This was after a 2 month struggle to open my itunes (which refused to open at all until I disabled the bonjour serice) now I got the itunes back, I cannot sync it with my itouch because I disabled the bonjour service, if I enable it, my itunes would not open! Any advice.
Oh 1 more issue, does the updated itouch 1st gen support apps with microphone required apps! I bought a couple of apps that required an enabled mic headset to be plugged in, in order to work, I tried many headsets with mics all different brands with no luck. Will it ever work or should I quit trying?

Can anyone explain why when some songs are showing in my playlists, I am unable to play them

I am finding I am unable to play some songs I have downloaded onto my I tunes, although they are showing they are just skipped over whenever I try to play them, can anyone help?

Some songs starts on my iPod, then stop and start from the begining and play all the way through

Hey,
While listening to songs on my iPod Classic 120gb, some songs will start to play, after 2-3 seconds, stop and start again from the beginning and play through the entire song no problems. On iTunes the songs still plays fine no stopping or starting. All songs are random artists and songs.
Help! its really frustrating!

Hey andy8299,
Do you have any other music software (i.e Limewire) installed? If so perhaps these files are not compatible.
See this for compatible song formats:

Can't load some songs from iTunes to iPod

A few of my songs on iTunes can't be dragged onto my iPod Shuffle. What am I doing wrong?

Are you using a 1st or second generation shuffle and what format are the songs that won't move? Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supported on the 2nd generation shuffle:
