sorry if this has been discussed before - i don't always have success finding the right words on a search . . . my problem is that the "time remaining" that shows in iTunes runs out on a song before it's over, and the display shows the next song ahead of time. i'm fairly certain this started happening after i changed the "stop time" on a song (file>get info>options) in which the artist thought it would be clever (not!) to finish the 40 seconds or so in complete silence.
it's particularly disconcerting when i have the visualizer turned on, and the data for the upcoming song appears and disappears before the song even starts.
has anyone else encountered this? more important, does anyone have a solution for righting the time code (or whatever you'd call it)? btw, this happened before iTunes 5, probably around 4.7.
thanks in advance for your help.

Are you listening through speakers using Airtunes?
If so, this isn't a bug, exactly - it's a function of the slight delay caused by encoding, transmitting, and decoding the music. But it shouldn't be more than a few seconds, either.

bravo, ronaldinho!
i do have airport express and seemed to always notice it when i had my stereo fired up and the visualizer running. i just tested it, playing itunes locally, and the time indicator was true.
i understand it now, but it's still disconcerting to see the info pop up on the visualizer at the wrong time. (good case to give it a time delay.)
obrigada.
