Why is itunes adding extra parts to my music

When I download a song another part is added from somewhere else. I know it´s itunes and not the file because when I play it on another music playing program it plays without that part.

ITunes added extra time to a track

iTunes added extra time to a track after transferring the song from my computer. What do I do to to transfer the song correctly and remove the extra (several minutes) of dead air that iTunes added to the end of the track?

Well....
First of all, let me confirm exactly what you are doing.
I notice you say iTunes is not recognising the change. So when you play the song in iTunes, it does not stop at the new time you've entered, is this correct? Or
is it playing okay in iTunes, but not on your iPod? If this is what's happening, you have Synced your iPod after the change, haven't you? (Any changes you make in iTunes while the iPod is connected to iTunes will almost certainly not be activated on the iPod until you do another Sync.)
(If you manually manage the music on your iPod, you will need to remove the track from the iPod and then put it back on again. Putting it back on should cause the newly revised stop time to be on your iPod.)
So if your stop time is shown (in iTunes) as 2:52, but the track is not stopping at that time - in iTunes - then I suggest you do a repair of iTunes. To repair iTunes, download iTunes and go through the instal procedure. (Do not delete or remove the existing iTunes.) Once the instal procedure sees the existing iTunes, you should see an option to either repair or start new, choose the repair option.
I've had to use the repair iTunes option myself, a few weeks ago, and it fixed the issue I was having. Can't remember what the issue was though!
Finally, if the track plays okay in iTunes but not on the iPod after a new Sync, the only thing I can suggest is a Restore of your iPod. This will remove everything from the iPod and the next Sync put back what it finds in your library. If you manually manage, you will need to put everything back on yourself.

How can I give iTunes-added mp3's in my music ("unknown album") a background?

Coming from an iPod Touch 4th Gen to a 5th gen, there was really only one thing that I didn't like, and that was how my music (I add it from mp3 files using iTunes) has no background.
Sure, the 4th gen on iOS 6.1.6 only had a music icon as the background, but this lack of any type of background that I see when playing a song on iOS 8 really is kinda distracting.
Is there anyway for me to give the Music app (system app) a makeover so it has some kind of background when I'm playing music?
iPod Touch 5th Generation, 16gb, iOS 8.1

Hey Subscriber0101, What happens if you go into your iTunes library and right click the music in question to bring up the pop up menu, then go to "Get Info" click "Edit Items". Then plug in the Artist names, Album name, etc. and add the Album artwork. When your done, save and close the Get Info, then sync your iPod with your iTunes library. Good luck. Cheers.

Why did iTunes delete some of my older music? Please, please, please help!

After my old PC crashed, I transferred everything over to my new computer. All my old files were saved in a separate sub-folder. Some of the music was ripped from CDs, some purchased from iTunes. When I connected my iPod nano (4th gen) to merely back up, iTunes instead deleted random albums and music from, not only my iPod, but my music library as well. Some of the deleted music was purchased (& still available) thru iTunes. Other deleted music was from ripped CDs, some of it available on iTunes, some on older CDs that aren't currently available. It felt like someone coming into my home & tossing out possessions at random - I'm irritated and confused. I have an external HD with all the music supposedly on it (my son made the copy), but how do I get all this music back into my iTunes library? I know, I can connect the HD to my computer & copy all my old music files back to the desktop, but iTunes will not "find" them. I found if I merely copy a file rather than move it, iTunes asks for the original source of the file, whether it's a cd, thumb-drive, or external drive. And, if it deleted them once, I'm sure it'll do it again. I don't wish to lose the only remaining copies of these music files. Any advice would be welcome!

Thanks! I'll give this a try tomorrow...I had thought of creating a new folder on my desktop & copying all the music into that, then open iTunes & copy from the new desktop folder. I also have an old Creative zen player, which has most of my classical music on it; they have free downloadable software that's supposed to work with win 7, but iTunes converted it to the Apple format, so I'm afraid to hook that up. Also I have a Phillips MP3 player with music that's no longer on any of my storage devices, I don't know if they've even upgraded their software to work with win 7 or Apple format. Both of these devices are about 10 yrs old, but work like new. But, they haven't been synced in at least 6 years.

Any idea why "download itunes" and other parts of the site are down?

I finally found another bit of the site that allowed one download option, the windows 32-option. Of course I need the 64. I just had to reformat my PC, and I want to get going on this. The site has been down long enough that I've reloaded everything else, including my music. The whole problem was that my USBs weren't recognized for, oh about 4 months, so I have tons of stuff to add to the pod.
Oh, here is there error:
The webpage athttps://swdlp.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/SoftwareDownloadApp.woa/wa/getProduct Data?localang=en_us&grp_code=itunes&returnURL=http://www.apple.com/itunes/downlo ad&isMiniiFrameReq=N might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Recently both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

Why does iTunes transfer my entire library of music every time I transfer one album or song to my iPhone?

I've lately been having this issue with my iPhone. When I go to transfer a newly purchased album or song from my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro to my iPhone 5 my ENTIRE LIBRARY is transferred to my iPhone. I have it checked so I can manually manage my music and videos in the settings in iTunes when I plug in my iPhone but it still transfers everything. It's really frustrating and I would like for it to not do that. My iPhone doesn't have enough memory to save all 3,000 songs on my phone unless if I had no apps or texts or emails or anything. Is there anyway to get this to stop happening? I've read that if you uncheck all the songs you don't want it won't transfer them but is that the only solution? Its really frustrating having to redelete all the music I don't want off my phone every time it does this.

Go to the music tab, select sync music, select the music to sync and sync.
Have a look at the manual:

Why would iTunes (10.6.3) change my music files?

This isn't the first time I've had this problem. I have 79,042 songs in iTunes library. Every once in a while, I play a track that I've played many times before, only to discover that the music coming from the file is not longer what it was supposed to be. For example, I have a George Harrison album taken from a CD. I listen to it regularly. Minutes ago, I played some of the tracks and found MOST of them had become YES tracks, which are also on my external hard drive (where I keep all of my iTunes). In fact, each time this has occured, the file changes to a YES track ??? When I locate the original George Harrison file on the drive, it still has the title from the George Harrison album, but a quick check shows that the music coming from the file is no longer George, even though the track length is the same, etc. Even the album art is the same.
iMac 10.7.4
iTunes 10.6.3
Could it be related to the external drive?

Limnos, thanks for the reply.
These are movies I've ripped from my DVDs and imported into iTunes to be able to watch them on my TV via AirPlay. They are not purchases from Apple. Since Mountain Lion is supposed to allow using AirPlay from other Apps, I may have to use another App to manage and play movies after the OS upgrade.
On the other hand, if I could get credit for owned DVDs with the iTunes store, without having to rip them myself, AND not have to keep every one of them stored locally, it would be very nice.

Why is iTunes is duplicating files in the "Music" folder on Windows Vista?

I've always kept my music in mp3 format in my Windows Vista "Music" folder. When I drag a particular album to itunes, it imports it and I'm able to add to my iphone. It appears itunes is making a second 'itunes copy' of the album in the itunes- music folder. Is there any way around this? Having 2 versions of all my music is killing my hard drive space.

Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and turn off "Copy files..."

Why does Itunes keep losing the location of music files?

Itunes will lose the location of the music files. they clearly listed under the right album and proper order but when you select a song a exclamation mark shows up and a window pops up asking me where it can be located. I don't know, Itunes lost it, I haven't done any maintenance work to the hard drive that I know of other than clean the registry on my firefox search engine.

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
i may be able to give some more focused advice once there is a clearer picture of where things are.

Why do I have extra songs in my iPhone playlist that are not on my iTunes library?

After doing the iOS7 update (and iOS7.0.2) I decided to add my music to my phone (I never had music on it before).
I discovered that there were 20 very random and obscure broadway songs that were on my iPhone in addition to the 60 songs I just synced. They had the iCloud icon by them, unlike the songs I had just added.
After doing research I found that the broadway songs were technically "purchased" on iTunes although they are not songs I would have ever purchased- in fact I have never once purchased anything on iTunes. This isn't my worry though, I am assuming it must have been some random free download I did at some point?
I went to settings > music > and turned show all music off. This did NOT work for all of them and only solved the problem 80%. There are still 4 of the random song on my iPhone. They DO NOT show up in my iTunes library on my computer and don't even exist on my computer.
With the other songs I can left swip and delete but these 4 songs won't! Why won't these four songs left swipe?
I am going crazy and have tried restarting my phone, restarting iTunes, re-syncing, turning off the iCloud. NOTHING WORKS.
Please help. I am a normally a very smart and tech-savvy person and I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I don't want to wipe everything- which as a solution is a pretty weak solution.
Why won't certain songs left swipe to delete off my phone when I am in the music app?
Why do I have extra songs on my phone that don't appear on iTunes on my computer?
Where did these songs come from and how do I get rid of them?
Much thanks!

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

Why is The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file locked?

After my walk this morning I tried to connect up to iTunes to chargemy ipod and update my tunes and got an error message:
"The iTunes Library.itdb file is locked, on a locked disc, or you do not have write permission for this file."
WHY WHY WHY ???

I had the same problem after a "force quit".
1. Quit iTunes
2. Locate your iTunes folder in finder and open it
3. Locate the "iTunes Library Extras.itdb" file, right click it and select Copy "iTunes Library Extras.itdb"
5. Rename your original "iTunes Library Extras.itdb" to "iTunes Library ExtrasOld".itdb
6. Move the your copied "iTunes Library Extras.itdb file back into the same folder as i came from
Repeate 3>6 for the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file
Re-open iTunes, the error messages should now be gone.
This worked for me, anyway
