iTunes, WTF?

[Gareth]

I've just bought two new music CDs, gone to put them into iTunes so I can put them on my iPhone, it starts to import the first track then just zips through the whole CD (i.e not importing them correctly) and says its done. I thought it might be the CD itself (some copy protection) so I removed one of the albums I already have in iTunes and tried to re-import it, it does exactly the same thing??

The only thing I can think is that iTunes has been updated to a newer version since I last imported a CD, have they changed something??

 

[Gareth]

anyone?

 

[pr0fez]

Have you changed the import method? Like the encode section in preferences?

Any error messages?!

 

[Gareth]

no, no error messages, just tried the same CDs on the PC downstairs and it works fine. I've re-installed iTunes on this PC and it still does it.

 

[pr0fez]

I remember fixing this for one person recently and it was because they were ignoring the update message?!

Other than that not sure bud? Hope someone else can help...

its is the import setting on manual or auto?

7.6.2 has recently hit - until I upgraded it stopped mine from burning CDs in a similar fashion.

 

[Gareth]

I'll try a fresh download and see, cheers guys

 

[Gareth]

i'm running the latest version v7.6.2 and still no joy, f**king me off big time.

Does the cd drive read ok other than iTunes?

itunes is a really good program on mac... on pc its just an arse...

 

[MaLicE]

oh try ripping it with winblows media player then import it in to itunes...

 

[Gareth]

I've just tried playing the CDs in Windows Media Player actually and it won't read all the tracks, says there are errors, I can't believe the drive is faulty though, it has been working fine up until now. Its installed correctly and running the latest firmware though.

 

[Gareth]

i re-installed the operating system (Vista 64) and its working fine again now, god I hate PCs.

 

[Gareth]

I've just discovered the cause of the problem, Vista SP1!?

Yeh apparently there are problems with iTunes and 64bit OS. I've got XP Pro x64 and every time I start up it says: "If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes".

No, there's problems with iTunes on XP x64/Windows Server 2003 x64. Vista x64 is a supported operating system.

re-installing iTunes, using the latest version of iTunes, makes no difference.
