Sounds cuts out at end of song, but song keeps playing

I have a 5th generation Touch. When playing some songs, the sound stops near the end of the track - anywhere between 45 and 60 seconds before the end of the song. The track continues to play until the end, and the sounds works again when a new track starts.

I've seen mention of what sounds like the same issue other places in the discussion forums, but so far I have seen any solutions.

I've tried restoring and reloading the iPod, and reloading some of the affected songs, but nothing has solved the problem. Both the iPod and iTunes are up to date (as of March 8th) on software.

Has anyone found any solutions?

iPod touch, iOS 7.0.6

Have you tried deleting the songs from iTunes and then reimporting them or redownloading them from iTunes and then resyncing?

Do the affected songs play correctly in your iTunes Library?

Yes, they play fine in iTunes and on my old iPod. That's why I haven't tried deleting the songs from iTunes and reimporting them.

Then try re-syncing them from your iTunes Library to the iPod.

First, remove the affected songs from your iPod;

if you use Sync to manage your iPod (together with Sync only ticked songs and videos) then simply untick the songs in your library and Sync. Once they have been removed (I would eject the iPod from iTunes and check on the iPod), turn the tick back on and Sync again.
if you use Manually Manage, use iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, make sure they really are deleted, and then put them back on again.

Any luck?

It did work for the two songs that I can remember wouldn't play to the end of the track. Thanks!

Now I just have to remember to keep track of all the songs that do this so I can resync them. 😟

Thanks for the suggestion though - it's not ideal, but it's better than no solution at all!
