Why is it that some of the songs I've uploaded into iTunes have "drop-outs" or gaps in the music when played back? Is it a setting that needs to be changed, is it to do with the bit rate ?? It doesn't happen on every song just some of them...
Got a tip for us?

did these songs in particular come from a sractched disc? that could cause the error, if so try re-importing using the digital correction under prefs>importing
thats the only reason i can see for a song to cut out like that, if the cd is really scratched the skips and everything can be and will be imported

i dont think that drop outs on some songs are the result of the crossfade feature, this would apply to all the songs in iTunes...
i had this happen once when i was trying to rip my CDs on an old PC. i figured i would eat up the processor on the PC and not bother my PB while i was using it. welll, after ripping a couple of CDs then transfering it to my PB i got a few blips and pauses in the middle of songs. i think the computer was just so overloaded (yes it was an OLD PC!) that it messed up ripping the CDs. i had to rip everything on my PB to get the songs to sound properly. so, as far as i know this is a problem with ripping the tracks. if you are overloading your computer while trying to rip the tracks then this is probably the issue. when i ended up ripping all of my CDs (more than 50) i would do it when i wasnt using my computer (like put in CD, click import then go eat dinner) it took me a few weeks to get them all that way, but it worked.
