I uploaded about 25 GB of correctly formatted mp3s to my iPod touch 4th gen. There are a bunch of songs that show up but won't play - even some whole albums.
HEres the weird part. If I use the Amazon app on the iPod everything plays perfectly OK. Also, I added the same library to an older iPod classic and that works fine. Any ideas??
iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.4
Do the non-playing one look different on the iPod like gray or have an icon by them?
Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Every thing looks like it's there - like I said, everything will play in the Amazon app just not the native music app. I'm in the process of doing reset but it's bloody silly that I have to go to all this trouble because Apple's software is rubbish, or so it seems.
