Troubleshooting · 45-second preview

Why does a track stop after 45 seconds in TuneTrace?

Check the free listening allowance and other reasons playback stops.

Quick answer

The first 30 saved songs can be played in full for free, permanently. Additional songs have a 45-second preview in the free version. Check the app’s one-time unlock option if you need more.

Step by step

3 steps
  1. Check for a preview label

    Play the track and look for “45-Second Preview”. Also check the displayed total duration.

  2. Check full-playback access

    Open the app’s unlock screen to review current access and one-time purchase options. If already unlocked, check your purchase status and account, then use feedback in Settings if needed.

  3. Check other causes

    Without a preview label, check the sleep timer and whether the file or source was only 45 seconds long. Unlocking does not make a short recording complete.

Common questions

Can I save more than 30 songs?

Yes. Saving tracks and playing them in full are different. Additional saved tracks have the preview limit while using the free version.

Will unlocking add the unrecorded part of a song?

No. It changes playback access and cannot create audio missing from the recording.
