[Xtra with PSF fw] Incomplete song l

A coupple of minutes ago I've accidentally dropped my Xtra (it was turned off). It felt on on the floor from about meter. Luckily player seems to work fine, I've ran DiskCleanup and no errors were detected but now after connecting it to PC and trying to view list of songs form explorer (or Zen Xtra Media Explorer - I have PSF firmware) not everything is being showed. And now I don't know what to do because I can view all my music library in the player (and play them), but most of them do not show in explorer in my PC...
Everything worked fine before I dropped the player

Me again. I'm at home now, and I'm having the exact same problem with WMP and MediaSource that I was having at work. 3GB left but only 2242 songs on the player. Do I need to reinstall these programs? What's happening here? Should I email Creative? Thanks.

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.

Incomplete song play: Do replacement iPods do better?

I've had my iPod for less than two months. From the beginning I've had the problem of some songs not playing completely. If a particular song ends early, it will always end at the same point. For some songs they play for a few seconds or several seconds and then the iPod begins to play the next track in the list. For other songs they will play until near the end before jumping to the next track. Others terminate somewhere in the middle of what should play.
When songs "skip," if I go back to the song and scrub a significant amount past the point where it abruptly ends, the remainder of the song will play, indicating that most of, if not all of, the song file is present on the drive. For example, one song that abruptly ended yesterday lasts 5:16, but after 1:25 the iPod ends the song and plays the next track. I scrubbed to 1:30, and the iPod began playing the next track. But after I went back and scrubbed further, to 2:00, the remainder of the song played -- all of the way to 5:16.
I thought the problem was related to disk fragmentation, but no one seems to acknowledge that possibility. Optimizing my music storage drive and restoring the iPod seems to help most of the songs that once skipped, but then I continue to encounter additional "incomplete" songs as I listen to more of my collection. Having the backlight always on makes no difference. Having Genius on or off makes no difference. I even tried converting my ID3 tags and restoring, but I'm still encountering songs which don't play completely, and it's maddening and frustrating. When I perform a restore, most of the songs that failed prior to the restore will play normally, but it's very inconvenient to go through the process -- especially when it won't work completely.
I've gone through the 5Rs and I've restored the iPod several times.
So my question is this: For those who've experienced this problem and received replacements from Apple, have you finally gotten a unit which did not have this issue? (I know that in some older posts, users have complained that they've gotten a replacement unit -- or sometimes more than one -- that still had the same problem.)
Even though my collection is relatively small (only 14 gb, 3300 songs), it's time-consuming to listen to the entire collection to try to identify songs to re-encode from the CD, and I don't want to waste any more time, in case I have to send in several units for replacement while my warranty is still good. Besides, there doesn't seem to be any guarantee that songs that once played fine won't eventually start skipping. Today I even had a song purchased from the iTunes Music Store end halfway through the song -- how do I replace that?
Apple used to make the premier portable digital music jukebox device. What happened?

Here are my thoughts...
*Skipping songs*
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
Some users have suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information is often a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I've have found files for which this solution doesn't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original file back onto the iPod.
<hr>
With this in mind I think it's a firmware issue rather than somthing affecting your particular iPod alone. Therefore a replacement is most likely to have exactly the same issue with the same tracks. One thing you could try is to collect a couple of tracks that you know fail and ask a friend with an iPod to put them on theirs to see if the fault is consistent.
Whan I come across any problem tracks or spot an issue like missing artwork I use the select button on the iPod to go to the rating screen and give the track a rating of one. I then have a smart playlist in my iTunes that shows tracks with a rating of one so that I'm reminded of which tracks I need to fix.

TS2830 New PC windows 7. itunes with library of 246 songs. New computer recognises ipod, iphone and ipad but there is an error allowing me to get the music library from the PC itunes to any of the apple devices. Have tried de-selecting and re-selecting th

All apple devices are recognised by the PC in itunes but cannot get the music to load onto any of the devices from my itunes library. there is an error message with 100+ errors as songs are not found. I have tried alll sorts of things but at a loss for how to get music onto my devices. I want to buy some more songs but reluctant to because not sure if I can listen to them on my devices! The PC is too difficult to listen to songs on (for obvious reasons).
Please help.

Thanks for trying, no it did not help. The article describes getting song from apple devices to PC, not the other way around. I will try ringing tech support tomorrow.
Thanks anyway.

Is anyone else having issues with "skipping" while the songs are playing?! It is very aggravating to us... and we've had it going on for several months now. Any ideas at all how to fix it?

I have Itunes on my PC with close to 1000 songs. The songs were also on my Ipod. I tried to sync with my Ipad 2 and blew the music away on my Itunes. Can it be retrieved?

Sure it can, transfer the songs from your backup that you maintained on an external drive,DVDs,cloud storage solution.
You didn't have a backup?
If you purchased them from iTunes, plug in your iPod-once it mounts in iTunes right click on the iPod icon and select transfer purchases.
If they were not purchased from iTunes-google is your friend.
PS.
If files are important to you-always have multiple copies on separate media.

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings, when i put it back on my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded back to the same computer

i have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings because my email was hacked, when i downloaded the music back to my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded . how can i download all my music back?
michel p.

I usually err on the sideof caution when someone says "downloaded" and take it to mean anything fro actually downloaded, to copies, to imported, to moved (frolder to folder), but even if they were "downloaded"... if the old email was hacked, and subseuqently closed out, that leaves the downloaded files "orphaned" if you will, belonging to the old ID. So, while they may be on the HD, they're inaccessible now.
One of the biggest reasons I NEVER keep anything in my library with DRM employed in it. I bought it. I own it. I'm not going to get locked out of it.

I bought a new laptop and can access my itunes library but when i try to add purchased playlist songs to my ipod message appears asking if I'm ok with erasing all other songs on the ipod. Help needed.

wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

I received an email with an embedded QuickTime song. It plays but I would like to save it to my device so I may bypass retrieving it via email. How do I do this?

I have an iPhone4. I thought it came with the QuickTime application but cannot find it currently installed in my phone. I received an email with an embedded QuickTime song how can I bypass the email and save the music to my device? There is no difficulty accessing or playing the music.

Thanks Michael, this truth gradually became clear to me as I experimented.
Here's my workaround: Label the audio track something other than music and it will sync. It this case I called it a podcast and I could transfer the audio.
I will be provideing feedback to Apple but I am sure it's something they must be working on.
At the moment the only way to send an audio track labeled MUSIC to your iCloud enabled iPhone is to drag it into iTunes, upload it to the cloud, put it in a playlist, sync the iPhone then go to that synced playlist and re-download the track. Cumbersome doesn't quite capture it. Facepalm gets closer.
Looking forward to seeing iCloud mature.

HT1212 im trying to reset my ipod with out deleting the songs

i want to reset my ipod and it is disabled with out deleting thee songs on there

You can't. If you could then the Disabled would be a poor security feature
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

I purchased songs via my ipod touch. when I sync'd my ipod touch with my computer, the songs I purchased disappeared into a black hole... how do I get them back without having to repurchase?

On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.

Albumart for albums with less than 5 songs?

So i REALLY would like to see the albumart on albums (for instance EP's, singles) with less than 5 songs. Is there any Terminal line to do this?

When iTunes does not pick up artwork or the wromg artwork I usually just google image the albume and copy artwork, 500 x 550 is perferred if you want to use jukebox or large image, don't bother with anything under 300 x 300 as it will be blury. Go back into iTunes highlite all the songs on the album, right click and paste into the album art square.
