HELP!! Downloading CDs into iTunes

katiekins (Competent) posted this on Monday, 15th November 2004, 22:50

Help guys! Not sure if this is the right forum, but I`m sure you`ll correct me if it isn`t. Here goes....
My husband has just got the iPod 4th Gen 40GB (and I`m dead jealous with gadget-envy!). We`ve started loading our CDs onto the computer and downloading them to the iPod, but we have just spotted that on every CD, the first track delays when it starts playing, so it starts part way through the song. >:( This only seems to affect the first song on every CD, every other one is fine. What has gone wrong, or what have we done wrong? Are we going to have to re-load all the first tracks? (Thankfully (!?!) we`ve only loaded a small part of our CD collection, a mere 143 albums. :/ ) AARGH!!
Really hoping somebody can help.........

The only thing I can think of is the `play songs while importing` feature is on. Try toggling it off to see if it makes a difference.

Go to Edit/Preferences and the Importing Tab. Uncheck the `Play songs while importing` check box and see if that helps.

Fingers crossed! :-)

Thanks Anil, have tried but that doesn`t make a difference. Darn it! I`m guessing the problem is with iTunes as when I play a CD using Windows Media Player or RealOne Player it is fine, just playing/down-loading with iTunes it `delays`.
Anybody else got any bright ideas? Please?

It`s a new one on me...

Make sure you`re using the latest version of iTunes (4.7)
Also, if you have more then one CD\DVD drive then try the other one

Do the tracks play OK, once they`re on the iPod?
