Songs not playing all the way through.

I find it very upsetting that when I can only listen to a sample, then buy the song, on playback, it is cut short at the end, or in one case (Vic Damone Live) "All I Need Is The Girl" is sliced in the middle! That was weird because he is singing a verse, then all of a sudden the song picks up as the final few bars are played!

Why doesn't iTunes have a complaint, issue resolution dept? I should get the song credited, or a chance to re-download I would think.

Anyone get a solution to this issue? It is only on about 4-6 songs, but aggravating.

Thanks

The issue appears to be with the library that iTunes uses and not the song itself. If you remove the song from iTunes (do not delete the file) and add it back into iTunes, it will play again.

I've looked at the library file but didn't see anything obviously wrong with the songs that were giving me an issue. Maybe I'll try again the next time I remember which songs lock up.

was having this problem with recently added music on iTunes 11 / Mac X ; solution was to import music via file > add to library (CMD+O), rather than drag and drop. likely different bugs but might be the solution for those searching right now~

Okay, here goes. Recently bought a Mac. Had been using Windows machines for years with no problems with iTunes. However, recently started experiencing the same problem when I synced my iPhone, IPad etc. to the iMac iTunes. So, after much experimenting I found, make sure the songs that are only play partially have been placed full on the iMac. Don't know why, but if I don't, the song still plays only partially when I delete it off the the device and reload it, unless it has been played fully on iMac iTunes first. Don't have a clue as to why. May be something happened during my import of files from Windows to the iMac and by playing the song through on the iMac repairs it? Who knows, but this works for me. Yes, it is a pain to have to write down the problem tunes as I come across them and sit back down and do my schtick.

Same problem. I've tried deleting and re-installing the song multiple times, but it only plays 18 seconds before skipping to the next song. (Oddly enough, only on a music playing device. Once I deleted/re-installed it on my computer it played fine on iTunes on my computer. But it's a part of my work-out playlist, so that's not very helpful.)

I have the same problem! I've used iTunes for years and this is the FIRST time it's happened. Nothing has changed about the computer or anything. I don't know what to do . It's frustrating. HELP!

ive noticed this too!!! seems like the files are corrupted but ive never had an issue with any other iTunes release or whatever.

mine is with both purchased and imported songs. Always stops 30 sec to 1 min to end of song

Wait... what, exactly, did you "delete and re install?"

If you're that unhappy, there are certainly alternatives. But wanting people to burn down a factory just because you're having a little trouble with music-playing software seems a bit extreme.

This has been going on for years. Apparently can't or won't fix it (too low on their priority list?).

I have never bought any music from iTunes, so that isn't the key for me.

Awesome! this site just gave me a iTunes Card Code and it was legit! If you need a code check out http://freeitunesforever.com

The problem in this case seems to be in the iTunes Library file, but you CAN re-download most purchases.
