iTunes won't let me crop a song's "Stop Time"

So I'm listening to an AC/DC live CD where each song is buffered by 30 seconds of cheering at the beginning of each song, and 45seconds of fluff, talking and cheering at the end of each song.

Under the "Get info" and "Options" tab, iTunes offers me the ability to crop the start and stop time of each song, but any 'stop time' I input does not get applied. iTunes does apply my 'start time' inputs though.

What's up?

Mac OS X (10.5.8)

That's why live albums are generally a waste of time and money.

Sounds like a bug. The operation of the Stop time field is exactly like the Start time field, so I assume you are correctly setting it and hitting OK. You can report the bug to iTunes here:

And try again with the next release.

I am having a similar issue, but only when trying to use a DJ app on my Touch (4th gen). Is any of that relevant to your issue?
