Why do Songs cut off while playing on ipod??

My songs que cut off the last 20-15 seconds while playing on my ipod touch 4gen
Not all of them. Just a few.

I am having the same issue on my iPod Touch. I restored it (for other reasons), after having had to replace the HD in my desktop (which became a different computer). Bottom line, what used to work now doesn't. One of the things I found is that, if I redownload a tune that is cutting off from iTunes and delete the old one, the new one is OK (or, was the case in this particiular experiment). This is by no means efficient, however I think I can make it work.
The question is, is there a tool available that would allow me to scan the library on my iPod and flag the tunes that are cutting off? Note, my main iTunes library on my desktop is fine.

Ipod cuts off while playing

Suddenly, my ipod within my iPhone cuts off while playing in the shuffle mode. Most times this occurs while I have it in my pocket and am moving, but I have no idea whether this matters or not. It will either cut off completely or skip to the next song after cutting off in the middle of the previous song. Is there something that I can do to fix this?

I have the same issue. The phone works fine if I am sitting around, no problems listening to hours of music. I ride my bike and have the phone in my jersey pocket and after about 15-30min it starts going into an auto pause mode to the point I can no longer listen. This is very annoying and I think it must have something to do with the motion sensing causing the pauses.

Songs cut off during play

I have 2nd gen iPod touch. When I play it through a USB cord it cuts some of my purchased songs short. My husband has 3rd gen and he has no trouble when he plugs his in with the same cord into the same device. The songs I have trouble with play fine. What could be the problem? I'm using both iPods in Microsoft Sync in my Ford

Apparently this problem hasn't been fixed in 8.2 (so I won't be upgrading). I'm very familiar with this problem, even though my iPod Classic is only four months old. I've finally gotten all of my songs to work (it took two months to cycle through my entire collection to determine which ones were broken).
This post contains the solution for songs cutting off on the iPod: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9333313#9333313. Also read [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9477739#9477739]. Now, if the songs are ending early in iTunes playing from your hard drive, then the original file got corrupted by iTunes and the only fix is to re-import or use a backup copy.
At this point, I don't want iTunes to touch my music files for a large transfer. I keep my music on an external drive; if I were to have to move them from that drive to another drive for some reason, I'd rather bite the bullet of losing my date-added data and use the Finder to move the files and then re-import my Library file than follow the iTunes instructions.

My song cuts off, it played before, how do I get the full song again?

I purchased the song & its worked forever, suddenly it cuts off after 2 seconds, around the time I upgraded from 4 to 5. How can I get the full song back? The song doesn't allow me to re-download it.

All American Rejects "Gives you ****" haven't found this problem with any other purchased song.

Songs cut off then play next song

When I play a series of songs they play about 90% of a song and then start to play the next song.

I am having the same problem. This may be the same problem identified in an earlier posting by "The Dark Man" (posted 12/30/05,7:53 am); and perhaps also in "Chad Koenig" (last posted 12/30/05, 11:41 AM). On mine, it is a matter of the iPod displaying an incorrect song length.
Like "The Dark Man," I would also like to find solution.

TS1424 Songs cut off during play

I purchased an album today 7/31 and after downloading attempted to listen to it, but 3-4 of the 19 tracks stop playing about a minute or so into the song and it moves to the next track. Never had this issue before

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt. If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773
If you cannot download a second time, contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store
Incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here. I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.

Is your iTunes up to date?

https://discussions.apple.com/message/17661693 - issue resolved by re-downloading files or rebuilding library file [note, although the poster says this restored all, my understanding is the .xml file does not retain all the details of the original library file].

Someone please help! song cuts off

I bought a cd from ITunes store, downloaded it, synced it to my nano & 1 of the songs cuts off half way thru, the next song starts (while still under the previous title) plays all the way thru then starts again under its own title.

I recommend to convert all your Music with iTunes itself. A lot of people had the problem (see earlier threads), that songs cut off during playback on iPod, even if they do play in iTunes.
The Reason is, that iPod nano has problems to read the MP3 Encoding of some converting programs. So just convert all of your songs (which wont play correctly) with iTunes itself. So go into your library, highlight these songs, right-click, choose "convert to AAC" (this is standard. You can set MP3 in the preferences in iTunes also...I've done so....thats better for other players then iPod )
After the new converting, you can delete the older (double) songs. Than just sync iPod again and you're done.

I have a library of nearly 2000 songs and all of which were purchased/downloaded in their entirety. It seems that after one of the iTunes updates… many (not all, but plenty) of those songs were “cut off” after playing about 2/3 through them… I haven’t gone through the entire library to see which are complete and which were cut off, but hoped this is “known problem” and hopefully with a known “fix”… Make sense?
Please advise…

Why does my itunes downloaded song cut off half way through the song

I downloaded a Jorney song "Seperate Ways" only to find out that the song cuts off half way through. What should i do?

I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

When i set iphoto to 'fit slideshow to music' the song cuts off before the end and starts again. Anyone know why?

I have tried changing the seconds each slide displays for and fiting the slides to the music and no matter what I do the song cuts off 30-40 seconds before it actually ends and starts again. I haven't had this problem before.

Hi kjackson73,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the same songs seem to cut out on multiple devices, first try re-importing or converting them using iTunes. You can also download iTunes Store purchases again. See these articles for more information:
iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
If the original CD is available, remove the affected content from the iPhone or iPod touch and then import it again from the CD using iTunes.
If the original CD is not available, convert the content to AAC using iTunes.
Download past purchases

Why are some songs cut off early?

I just transferred my iTunes library from my old macbook (where it was working fine) to my new macbook pro. I notice many songs cut off before finishing, usually all the songs from a same album. I downloaded my past purchases from icloud and still happens. My ipod, which I now synced with my new macbook is (obviously) doing the same. Anyone have any bright ideas to resolve this? I guess Apple is too busy counting all the money from us suckers who have bought their hardware and/or paid for music downloads from iTunes to take care of this.

I am having the same problem. I moved my files from an old Windows XP machine to a new Windows 7 machine. I put them in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder thinking they would all be added to my library and work just fine. Now I noticed that all songs for the same Artist get cut off at the same point in time. For one artist, it was 2:25. Any song shorter than that worked fine. Any song longer got cut off. For another artist, it was 2:17. It seems to be more with songs I downloaded from iTunes. Songs that came from CDs that I own and imported seem to be fine but I haven't checked every song. Any help Apple?

Songs Cut Off Before Finished

Can anyone tell me why on my Mini songs occasionally stop abruptly before they finish and the next song begins?
The latest song to do this, which came off my CD, plays to completion on iTunes.
Thanks.

Hi all, I think I've figured out one solution to this problem. I have a 3rd Gen iPod and was having songs cut off. Random songs at random points near the end of the song. I've read a post here about deleting the artwork from the songs on the iPod, and it worked! Long story short: Use this script from www.dougscripts.com "removeallipodartwork" to delete all artwork from the iPod, not iTunes. iTunes is fine, only the iPod is having trouble with the little bits of artwork information. If you have any doubts, manually delete artwork from just a couple of songs, update your iPod and listen for the cut off (you can fast forward to near the end of the song). Believe me, I've tried everything else for the past 18 months or so. MP3, AAC, different quality, different iTunes versions, different iPod OS, restoring the iPod, I could go on. Hope this helps.

Songs cutting off

A month ago I bought an album, a few of the songs on said album cut off towards the end( last 10 seconds or so, no big deal just annoying). Today I bought an album and same issue is happening only some songs cut off about 10 seconds in. I've tried playing the songs in another media player but the same thing happens. These two albums are the only things I've purchased at the itunes store in the past 2 months. The rest of my library is unaffected. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how I can fix it?

Something similar happens to me, too, except the song will cut off and the screen reverts back to the default home screen. Like you, these are the same songs that play in my iPod without any issues. The same thing happens with the web browser - it will just drop off and revert to the home screen.
I'm wondering if we might have a couple of defective phones. I just got my phone yesterday..
