iTunes only plays parts of some songs
Hello,
I have a macbook with iTunes 7. There are about 2000 songs in my library, probably 10% will only play the first 5 seconds of the song. Then iTunes goes to the next song on the playlist. The problem is repeatable, always the same songs.
I assumed the actual mp3 files were bad. So, I copied and replaced all the songs from my old computer to the new iTunes library using the finder. This was quite a project, but did not solve the problem.
So, now I have two problems.
I could rerip the music from my CDs, if I could come up with some efficient way to figure out which songs were bad. reripping all the songs is just too large of a project to contemplate.
or
Is there some rebuild or utility in iTunes that might fix this?
It also occurs with the songs when I play them on my ipod.
None of the problem songs are purchased from the iTunes store, so it is not some authorization issue.
