My daughter's PC crashed and I had to rebuild it, but I was able to get her music off of the drive before I rebuilt.
An odd thing is happening now. She has several songs that she purchased from the iTunes store that will play a few seconds, then skip to the next song. They do it on her PC and mine (where I copied the music before I rebuilt her PC). Both are Windows XP Pro.
The files appear to be full size. I have burned them to a CD through iTunes, but they do the same thing on a CD player. If I open them in QuickTime, they play all the way through, but have periodic "skips" in the song, the first occurring where it completely stops in iTunes. They also only play a few seconds on the iPod before skipping to the next song.
It isn't all of her music and it's not all of her purchased music. It is just selected songs.
I found a thread on another message board somewhere of someone with the same problem, but as is usually the case, there was not resolution given.
Does anyone have any ideas what caused it and how we can correct the problem?

Is this happening with all purchased music, or just a few songs, and other purchased music plays OK? Does it happen with any other music (ripped from CDs or acquired from other sources)?
Check the original files on the hard drive and make sure they're still named with the extension .m4p. If not, try to rename then and see if they work then.
Also try to locate all the iTunes pref files, move them to a new location, then relaunch and let the app rebuild them. |

| Also, make sure the computer is still "authorized" to play purchased music. After the rebuild, the authorization may have been lost. |

I also may have an answer due to my disappearing music problems.
First, I have found from downloading from Limewire a separate folder that holds songs. However, I can not drag and drop from that file. So I had to "consolidate music into the library" in the iTunes drop down menu in order to drag and drop.
I also found music on my hard drive searching for '.mp3' and '.mp4' music file extensions.
Lastly, I found more music under my Documents and Settings file with a subfolder called 'Shared'.
May help, may not help.
Just a thought.
