Since about mid-september, I've noticed that one of the songs I've recorded suddenly sortened in length and no matter what I do lengthening, etc I do to is, will not go beyond that.

Now I notice that one of my store-purchased songs is clipped too.

Anyone else notice this, and anyone know what I can do about it?

Pat,

I'm guessing that you're aware of the "start time" "end time" information embedded into each song/track, right? If not, select the affected song within iTunes, ctrl-i (get info), click on the "options" tab and unselect the start/stop time buttons.

If this isn't the problem, then I don't know what the problem is. Maybe you could delete the iTunes plist file or repair permissions.

When you buy songs from ITMS, always convert them to audio by burning a CD. Then rip the CD to iTunes for non-DRM mp3's or AAC. I do not trust DRM.
c_n,

What does this have to do with Pat's problem?

Or burn your audio cds as an Iso image then use Demoon Tools to mount the image. Rip in to Intunes and save your Cds. :)
