When using iTunes for AAC conversion, sometime only a part of the song is converted (also, when playing the song, iTunes does not plays it entirely and skip to the next one before the end).
But when I use another app (like MediaHuman Audio Converter for conversion or IINA for playing), the song is converted/played entirely.
The issue clearly comes from iTunes but I cannot find it. I looked up into the information of the songs having the issue in iTunes but the pre-ended box is not checked.
So far I tried to :
consolidate my library (from Apple support)
rebuild a new Library with the .xml file (following that procedure)
reboot into safe mode
but the problem still remains.
It appear that when testing with a new user account (with same file), iTunes manage to do it...
I never signed into my Apple ID, and my library is stored on my boot volume (~40,000 songs 200 Go).
Anyone with a similar issue and/or knows how to solves it?
UPDATE :
It looks like the issue only occur when opening a full album into iTunes, and that the duration of each song will be equal to the shortest one (for example : if the shortest song is 2:36, every other will skip at 2:36). Sometimes it goes well for the first song of the album (even if it´s not the shortest one) but after playing a shorter one, the skip loop begin...
By adding the song of the album one by one into iTunes, everything works fine...
I just updated to macOS Big Sur (11.6.1) and Music 1.1.6.37 have the same issue.
