How Do I Shuffle A Playlist

I have a few playlists on my iPod nano, and one of them is Christmas songs. I want to shuffle only the Christmas song playlist, but every year I can't remember how to do that. It seems that when I select shuffle, and go into that playlist and start playing a song, it shuffles...but it shuffles between all the songs in all my playlists. Do I have to do something different to make it shuffle only the songs in one playlist, and not play any songs from the other playlists?

Deggie, My son has an iphone and he created playlists on it. The first song in the playlist was the shuffle feature. If you selected this it would shuffle that playlist. Is this available for the ipod classic? It was a pretty cool feature.

  • How do I shuffle a playlist during a workout on an ipod nano 7th generation?

    How do I shuffle a playlist during a workout on an ipod nano 7th generation?  The only shuffle option I see is for all songs, not a specific playlist.  I know that I can begin a workout using the now playing option.  This will allow me to shuffle a playlist in the begining of my workout, but if I want to change music I cannot get back into shuffle mode unless I select the shuffle all songs option. 

    This is from the Nike support page:

    Shuffle Songs: Plays songs shuffled randomly from your music library. To shuffle a playlist rather than your entire music library, start the playlist in shuffle mode before setting up your Nike+ workout. Then, when setting up your workout preferences, select "now playing" in the Music menu.

  • How can I shuffle a playlist in itunes 11

    Hey,
    how can I shuffle a playlist in itunes 11 (really shuffle the songs in order to burn them on a cd - not to listen to them through the player).
    Thanks!

    So far I have not found a way to shuffle pre-burn either...only to play.
    It is another one of those lovely user-friendly features that doesn't seem to exist in iTunes 11...which seems to have been an update which was a step back for many loyal iTunes users.  I sure wish I can use the previous, more intelligently designed version.

  • How can I shuffle a playlist in iTunes for an iPod so my stereo play a large playlist in a seemingly random order

    I have an iPod classic that I plug into my car stereo.  My car stereo can play playlists, or if just plug it in, it will play every song in alphabetical order.  Once plugged in, I cannot use the iPod to "shuffle".  I require a pre-shuffled playlist.  I have done this before in iTunes 11 will special instructions, but I've since misplaced those instructions.  I know how to build a large playlist of all of my songs.  Now, how do I shuffle that list of, say, 20,000 songs, and save to a new shuffled playlist?  Don't say it can't be done, because I've done it.  I know Apple removed the ability to do this quickly and easily, because obviously Apple doesn't really take their customers wants and needs into account.  Otherwise, they would see the thousands of complaints after they removed that feature.
    So, is there anyone here that can help me?   I don't really need to hear that it's not supported or that it used to work.  If you know how to shuffle a playlist and save it in that shuffled state, please post the steps for doing this in Windows iTunes 11.
    Thank you in advance,
    Bluemookie

    Just go to Settings, Shuffle, then turn it to Songs. The songs will stay in the same order in the playlist, but they'll switch it up.

  • How do you "shuffle" selected playlists or artists only on iPod touch

    Can anyone help. How can I shuffle play only certain playlists or artists; at the moment I get everything from my library including Xmas songs!

    Hi there.
    Start your playlist playing first, then click on the shuffle icon (two intertwined arrows on the right under the scrub bar) to turn shuffle play on. It will then shuffle just within the current playlist.
    For artists, choose your artist from the Artists tab in your itunes app, choose All Songs then start one of the songs playing. Now if you turn shuffle on, it will shuffle songs only for that particular artist.

  • How do I shuffle a playlist in iPod 5th gen?

    I set Shuffle to Songs and go into a playlist, but I see no option for Shuffle All. I have to choose a song, then it shuffles the next one. I don't want to have to select a song to start a shuffled playlist, I want to shuffle it to start. How do I do this?

    So the answer is I can't. What's wrong with having to do it myself? It's another step that takes several seconds that I don't have to do on other Apple devices. I thought Apple was about making the most easy-to-use mp3 players on the planet. So why does Apple not want it that easy on this device? So I buy the newer device? All they want is my money? They should add this to their older devices. They have in the past on their 5th gen nano, so they should do it on this device too.

  • How can I shuffle individual playlists?

    Can I set my iPod Classic (newest 160 GB model) to shuffle songs within an individual playlist? The "Shuffle Songs" setting only shuffles EVERYTHING!

    Try this.  Start playing a song in the playlist. T hen click the Center button 3 times.  This should activate the Shuffle feature as well, but it should only shuffle songs within that playlist.

  • How do you shuffle a playlist?

    I know this is probably a really simple question, but I'm new to the iPod as of yesterday afternoon. I found "shuffle" in the menus, but that shuffles everything in the iPod. I want to shuffle the contents of a playlist. Can anyone help?

  • How do I shuffle my playlists

    Just upgraded my software for my Iphone 3GS and the shuffle button doesn't work. What can i do I tried uploading software again.

    Hey ShuldBZbut,
    You'll want to set the iPod to also shuffle the songs. I found the following info about doing so:

  • How do I randomize a playlist order in iTunes 11.0.1.12?

    I recently updated my computer software (iTunes included, obviously) and have come to realize that this new version does not give me the abilities that the previous versions have.  I wiped my iPod clean to start from scratch, as it was full and I was hoping to put newer material on it, and when I went to load a playlist and shuffle it for playback order, I realized that the shuffle button, which is what I used before, is no longer available.  How do I shuffle a playlist order or track order or whatever, within a playlist, so I could copy it to the play order and sync it to my iPod?

    I'm still not sure what this option (to shuffle a Playlist and then Sync that to the iPod) was or where it was in iTunes 10. This is despite your question having been raised by other people.
    Surely, since you can shuffle a Playlist on an iPod, it's not necessary to shuffle it before Syncing, is it?

  • Can I shuffle two playlists at the same time?

    How can I shuffle two playlists at the same time?  Thank you.

    You can only connect to one site at a time.  And you need to edit files locally, save & then upload to the remote server.   AFAIK, no single FTP app is capable of connecting to more than one server at a time.  You might be able to do what you want with DW open and an additional 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla, each connecting to different servers.

  • HT1386 How do I designate a playlist for my Ipod shuffle to sync to? I have edited the playlist that was set for autofill (several versions of Itunes ago) and now it no longer changes the songs regardless of the changes made to the playlist.

    My IPod Shuffle plays the same songs regardless of how I have edited my playlist.

  • How can I shuffle the order of songs in a playlist in iTunes 11?

    How can I shuffle the order of songs in a playlist in iTunes 11?

    Never mind, finally figured it out. All the advice says to click on the left-most column, but it's actually the second column from the left (the first one, in mky version of iTunes, is the album list.)

  • HT1399 how do I shuffle the order of my playlists that I want to burn to cd?

    I'm trying to shuffle my playlist order prior to burning to a cd. The only options I seem to have are to order the songs by date, genre, artist, length, name, title, etc.....nothing to shuffle. I am burning over 300 songs and to sort in a random manner one by one is ridiculous. Also, how can you quickly delete duplicates in a play list or your library? Itunes flags them all, but that means I need to go deselecting every other line, again, a ridiculous amount of work.
    thanks, 

    By the way...why is my user name ApplesRotten???? wth?

  • How can you shuffle songs in a playlist in itunes 11?

    You used to be able to create a playlist, shuffle it, then synch it to your ipod.  This was done easily with a shuffle button in the library.  In 11 that button is no longer there.  How can you do this now?

    Your question is clear, but you then go on to say something completely different. I've answered your question "how can (you) shuffle songs in a Playlist in iTunes 11".
    In Playlists, click on the "start playing in shuffle mode" icon (that I've ringed). And...
    In this next shot (the space you need to watch), you can see the Shuffle icon (ringed in larey lime) is blue, so it's "on", and I've also clicked on the "show me what's coming up next" icon (ringed in red).  Study the list of upcoming songs. It's the Playlist we're in, but shuffled:
    Hey presto!
    Now - if you actually mean something else, such as: "create the Playlist, adjust the order of the songs and then Sync it to the iPod"; then as before, you can drag songs within a Playlist to whatever order you want and Sync the Playlist - as before. I've no idea what the "button" you refer to, looked like. Can you explain?
