Itunes is the most annoying thing on earth

SLLAB02 · 09-25-2006, 08:28 AM

Itunes has been doing this ridiculously annoying thing lately where, when I import a CD, the tracks are slightly overlapped wrong. IE The actual song ends 4 or so seconds before the end of the track. So when I play a random song in the middle of the disc the music starts playing a few seconds later than it should have. This annoys the crap outta me.

Please help me. I'm ready to throw my computer out of the window.

Personally I like that feature, but you CAN turn it off.

No no no...the CD tracks are physically ripped wrong. I mean when I start a song, the music starts playing as though I had skipped behind 5 seconds on the CD. There was a malfunction during the import.

I know what crossfade is, and this ain't it.

That seriously hasn't happened to anybody else?

I had something similar but reverse happen to me. When using Nero to burn songs on a cd, they were all shifted a few seconds. So, if for example you chose to play the third song, then at "0:00" for that song, you would actually have the end of the second song playing for about 5 seconds. I never figured out what the problem was and it wasn't consistent. It was very annoying!

Anyway it sounds like you have that same type of problem but when ripping instead of burning, right? Have you tried ripping with another player to see if it really is iTunes?
