Just to be clear, he ripped a CD using iTunes. The album plays fine in iTunes. When syncing, *SOME* of the tunes from the album get copied to the iPad, others do not. Wouldn't ALL the tunes on that CD be in the same file format when iTunes ripped it? If so, why would SOME tunes from that very CD (album) get sync'd and others not? > > If this is the issue, there is a trick that will save you rending, if you use > iTunes Match. > > 1) make sure that your encoding is set to AAC-96K or higher, but less than > AAC-256. > 2) Select the tracks <96K > 3) from the Advanced Menu select "Make AAC version" > 4) When that is done, you will have brand new AAC-128 or so files and the > will be > matched up with iTunes Match.
