iTunes stops playing some songs exactly at 3:40

I've been having this issue since the past version and I currently have the latest one 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit).


When I import songs (mp3 and aac), some of them not all, stop playing when they get to the minute 3:40, It's weird because you can see how the timeline skips from that minute to end of the song.


For example, if I play a song of 5 minutes and 30 seconds, when it reaches 3:40 it suddenly goes to the end of the song. Another thing is that if I try to convert the same song with the issue to another format, the song gets chopped to 3:40.


It also happens if I import songs from a CD, for example, if the CD has 12 songs, maybe 3 or 4 will be chopped to exactly 3:40, no matter what format I try to import them.


I've already tried to play the songs with the problem with other media players and I don't have any issues with them, they play correctly, I also tried unistalling and re-installing iTunes completly and I still have the same problem.


Any suggestions on how to solve this?


Thanks in advance.

Okay, I found the solution to my problem, It turns out it was related to the Gapless Playback Information bug, so I searched and found the solution to that problem that also fixed mine.
