iTunes’ Start and Stop Times

August 5th, 2008

A reader recently wrote in with a problem he was having with a rebuilt iTunes library. The gist is that although all the music played, several of the songs ended before they were supposed to and then the next tune in the playlist began playing immediately afterwards.

I suggested that he select one of these tunes, press Command-I to bring up the Info window, click the Options tab, and make sure that the Stop Time option was unchecked. Sure enough, it was checked for each of the songs he'd had difficulties with. Unchecking the option did the trick.

In his reply he wrote "Never knew what that was. I turned it off, and problem solved." This leads me to believe that those people who take advantage of the Start and Stop time options are few and far between. And why not? What possible good could these settings do?

Well....
