Newly imported AAC files created in Audacity are having their
time changed to 789:57:13. In addition, when I tried to play one of these songs
in ITunes for widows, it jumped done to past several other songs and changed
their time to 789:57:13.
The songs will not play on my iPhone with this time. They will
play correctly on a third party app. On my widows computer the correct time is
noted.
Can someone please help?
Windows, Windows 6
Hi. I am on Windows 7. However, I'd say no, don't use 12.4.3 as it may be too old. Use from first link:
Depending upon whether you are 32 or 64 bit - Follow steps to uninstall a program to remove the current iTunes. When completed, you can then re-install one of the above. From start menu, right click on Computer and view properties. You will see System type.
If not certain about these steps, you can use Google to find steps for uninstalling a program in Windows 10 and/or determining your system type. Uninstall a program in Windows 10 Determine system type Windows 10
Hope this helps. I've killed a lot of time today myself trying to untangle this unfortunate issue with iTunes and installing an older version will bring some relief but is not really a long term solution. Eventually we will need to update to a new version. Hoping that Apple addresses some of the previous requests from the group here and or subsequent versions of iTunes do not have this issue.

Indeed.

Problem fixed with 10.4.5 and iTunes 12.9.5.5
Yeah I don't have any updated versions yet either on either MacOS. But waiting to see when they arrive, and whether the issue is fixed.
Confirm it's fixed for me with Mojave 10.4.5 and iTunes 12.9.5.5
Files will still show 789:57:13 until you access them, but then reset to proper time & play ok
Hi MD, I'm not aware of any updated version yet. I still get prompted for 12.9.4 daily.
The older version 12.9.1.4 works fine.
I have a lot of affected files, created with FAAC 1.26.1 (Apr 8 2007) UNSTABLE.
Each time you convert files from one lossy format to another you lose some quality. This issue is resolved in iTunes 12.9.5.5 for Mac. Hopefully a new build for Windows will be out soon.

I had the same problem as well. I just deleted the newest version of iTunes and all associated programs (Bonjour, QuickTime, etc) and simply downloaded a previous version. Problem solved!
I have had exactly the same problem for the past several weeks!
You're welcome. 🙂

I installed Version 12.9.5 for Windows today. Seems to work ok.
I confirm Mr. Lonzo's finding. I installed 12.9.5 for Windows 10, and the damage is reversing itself as the .m4a files are played.
Time for imported AAC files is changing to 789:57:13
