error in 2 songs purchased on iTunes

I purchased John Tavener: Etermity's Sunrise, Acadamy of Ancient Music & Paul Goodwin today. Using iTunes to listening to track 5/5, Funeral Canticle, the track plays untiil 3:29 and then immediately skips to the next song.


Same with track 1/5 Eternity's Sunrise at 2:59.


The other three songs on the album are OK.


I tried using mplayer to play 5/5:

Needed to re-download entire album because both 1 and 5 are album only. 1/5 Eternity's Sunrise downloaded clean. 5/5 Funeral Canticle errors at 3:10 so I will try again.

Well as noted it should not have happened. 😕


Just to clarify - you purchased from the iTunes Store.


You were logged into your iTunes account when you downloaded form the cloud for the second time.


Select the files one by one from the the iTunes library window - Get Info - for each file - in the summary tab you will see the account name that purchased that file. If it is your account - go to this page and explain to the iTunes Customer Support the problem - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

Dear Fred,


Greetings from iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Santhosh.


I understand that the song "Funeral Canticle" didn't meet your expectation and would like to re-download the song and also you have been billed twice for the purchase of the album "John Tavener: Eternity's Sunrise". I know you are eager to get the issue resolved. I am happy to help you.


Fred, I have re-posted a fresh copy of the song "Funeral Canticle" back to your account. I recommend you to download it on a computer.


After reviewing the circumstances of your case, we determined that issuing you a refund for your duplicate purchase is an appropriate exception to the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions, which state that all sales are final.


In five to seven business days, a credit of 10.76 USD should be posted to the credit card that appears on your receipt for that purchase.


If your duplicate purchase was the result of receiving an error when downloading the first purchase, please note that it is best not to repurchase the item since it is probably still awaiting download in your account. To learn more about how to resume a download that has been interrupted, follow the steps in this article:


How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads

If you discover that iTunes is no longer showing a warning message for buying an item you already bought, you will want to reset your warnings, as described in this article:


Resetting iTunes Store warnings

Fred, I hope this resolves the issue and I would like to know if the resolution provided could resolve your issue. Your satisfaction is my priority and I will be obliged to help you further


Thank you for choosing the iTunes Store as your source of entertainment. We truly appreciate your interest in the iTunes Store. Have a good day.


Sincerely,


Santhosh
