Why won't my songs play on itunes?

I have windows xp and recenlty I had all my items removed, my hard drive wiped, and then all my items were re-added to my laptop. My volume works just fine with everything except iTunes....when I hit play on a song, the song cues up, but it doesn't play, and the little curser that moves as the song progesses just sits there at the 0:00 mark. Do I need to update a driver? Thanks so much!!!

Hello,
I have the latest Itunes and a IPOD CLASSIC updated.
Some songs i can play in itunes (MP3 CDRip 320 KBS) won't play in the ipod.
I don't know how to fix this problem.
I restored the ipod from the itunes and sync again, but the problem persist.
The sogs are Skipped when i try to play.
I find a fix for this problem: sync the music with mediamonkey.
ALL songs can be played in the ipod after sync with mediamonkey.
Is very strange this problem, maybe itunes generate this problem, because after aync with itunes many songs are skiped and won't play, but with mediamonkey sync the problem is solved.

Why won't this song play even after I authorized the computer? It says that I need to authorize the computer, then I enter my username and password and it says the computer is already authorized. But then the song still won't play. What do I do?

What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

Why won't my songs play on my iTunes on my new mac?

I bought a new mac book today and authorized my iTunes account but songs still won't play. What do I need to do to fix this?

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 or delete the problem music and resync (if they play OK in iTunes on your computer) or redownload
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- 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 still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why won't some songs in the iTunes store play a preview?

Some songs or albums will not allow one to hover over the track number to get the play icon. The new Dave Mathews Band album, and the new The xx album won't show the preview play button, for example. What gives?

Hello dazw724,

Why won't some songs play on 1st generation iPod Touch after paying to update to software version 3.1.3 (7E18)?

This weekend I purchased the software update for the 1st generation touch from iTunes to update it to version 3.1.3. Prior to the update, the iPod was still 100% working. The only reason I paid for the upgrade was so I could get the App Store. Since upgrading, approximately 50% of my songs won't play. When the problem occurs, the album art will show up on the screen, but after a few seconds of silence, the "play" button pops up indicating that the song paused or stopped. If I push play again, it looks like it will play for a second or two, but then it does the same thing. Then if I skip to the next song, and its a song the iPod likes, I can hit play and that song will play without a problem. All the songs on my iPod have been downloaded from iTunes or ripped from CD's I purchased, so it's not like I have a bunch of shady, corrupt music files. I'm just frustrated because Apple wants to charge me for support since this is an older product. However, the product was working fine until the other day when I PAID for their software update. If anyone went through a similar issue and has info it would be much appreciated.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Why won't my videos play in iTunes when I already downloaded them?

I downloaded an episode to watch along with a few songs....they downloaded on my iPad and now they are showing up in my purchased but its only playing 30 seconds of the episode and the songs won't play at all. Can anyone help?

iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store. Videos and tv shows that you've synced and/or downloaded to the iPad go into the Videos app :
Songs that you've synced or downloaded go into the iPod or Music app (depending on which version of iOS you have) :

Why won't old CDs play in iTunes 11.4?

Some of my cds from the late 90s/early 2000s won't play properly in my iMac with iTunes (11.4). My iMac is about 4 years old. This just started happening recently when I upgraded to OS Mavericks. The cds will play fine then either halfway through or near the end, it will stop, start up again, then the cd starts spinning as if it's reading the cd, then it becomes a bit difficult to eject the cd. My cds are excellent, no scratches at all. They perfect in my Xbox360 and PS3.
Does anyone know why this is, & how to fix the issue? Am I just better off getting an external hard drive?

Another help source (if you haven't already done so). Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type cd.
Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.
You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up. At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle. This will bring up the Help Menu.

HT1349 why won't my songs play

I recently download an album and s few singles and they only play for a few seconds. I have over 350 songs from itunes and they all play. The music downloads fine and goes into my library, but still only plays a few seconds of each song. I began having this problem about a week ago

You will need to make sure that all the other relevant fields are completed and that those fields are accurate.
total number of tracks on the album (as well as the track number):
Artist name and album title are exactly the same - i.e. no extra spaces at the end of the name.
If it is a Various Artists album, make sure that Part of a compilation is ticked and that the Album Artist has Various Artists in it, (See the above example).
If none of the above sorts out the issue, check the Sorting tab and make sure the fields are correct.

Shuffle is off, now the play in order backwards...so track 10 plays, then track 9 then track 8?

Why won't my songs play in numerical tracks order?

I have an album with about 30 songs on it, and some of those songs came from different sources. I changed all of the items on "Get Info" so that they would match, (album title, artist, album artist, composer, track number, disc number, compilation, etc) and although all of the information is correct, some of the songs are out of order. The album starts out with Track 1, but then it skips to Track 3. The rest of the album proceeds in numerical order for the most part, but Track 2, 15, 16, and 20 are all listed at the end of the album. If everything in Info checks out, why are some of the songs out of order?

Why won't my podcasts play in iTunes?

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/den-andre-podcasten/id670277522?mt=2
I got this submitted some days ago. It runs through feedburner from soundcloud and blogger. The RSS-feed seems to work fine in other software. And I am able to download it perfectly from the feed directly from feedburner. But in iTunes it seems like only a very very short fragment of a second is played, and then stops.
Anyone?

The URL given for your latest episode's media file is
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DenAndrePodcasten/~5/5_9tdy3rWI8/download.mp3
However this redirects to
https://soundcloud.com/detandreteatret/den-andre-podcasten-ep-2/download.mp3
First off, you can't use https in iTunes. But in any case, this URL doesn't, as it should do, play an MP3 file - instead it downloads a WAV file called DAT_podcast102.wav
iTunes cannot play WAV files so your file, though it gets downloaded when subcribing, is then not playable and disappears from the library.
Soundcloud isn't a good place to store your media files, but if you must use it you need to use http not https, and you must provide a link directly to an MP3 file. The test is that if you enter the URL in Safari's address bar the file plays in Safari, not downloads. You should also check your podcast by subscribing manually in iTunes and making sure each episode's file both downloads and plays.
Your feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/denandrepodcasten - originally it was made in Blogger. It contains no 'itunes.duration' tags containing the duration of the episode - this can cause problems playing episodes in the Store even if the file is the correct type. You will need to check in Blogger where you can enter this data.

Why won't my songs play on Ipod but will on Computer?

My songs on my computer are playing perfectly fine. I download all the songs to my 4th generation Ipod touch, and they are on the ipod but whenever I select them they do not play, the songs just skip over most of them and then play the songs that will play. My sister has a older verison of an Ipod touch and hers will play the songs. On the computer under my ipod's playlists the songs pop up with the "i" bubble. What can i do to fix this?! I've tried re downloading the songs muiltiple times. It doesn't seem to work.

i got the same problem, happened with "Now its on" and currently with "My Wife, My *****, My Girl", both by Tech N9NE. i ended up just getting now its on from limewire. i think the song for download might be faulty becuase i even deleted the song from my computer and bought it again, but to no avail. as well, i took the song off my ipod and put it on again, which also didn't work. I suggest just finding it on the internet in some other way

If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?

Are any fo the unsyning songs DRM protected?
What is the detail format of the non-syncing songs?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?

HT203164 Why won't the song titles transfer with the music when I burn to disc and play on another device?

Why won't the song titles transfer with the music whaen I burn to disc and play or copy to another program?

Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!
