How to shuffle on albums and not the individual tracks on albums

This is breaking my head.
I have ripped my CD's in iTunes and now i have a large number of songs.
I have a playlist that is uploaded to my iPod Shuffle.
But my Q is:
How can i shuffle on my iPod shuffle between albums instead of the individual songs.
I have seen the playback options in the advanced section saying shoffle by Album. But that options does not appear to have any effect on the shuffling on my iPod.
Any ideas
Thanks

If you want to shuffle a single album go to Settings
-> Shuffle and set to Songs.
The go to Music -> Albums (or Music -> Artists->
Albums), select an album then press Play.
If you want to play albums at random, Settings ->
Shuffle - Album.
When you play anything, it will play a song at
randiom, then play in order the songs on that album
(if it start at song #3, it will play #3 thru end)
then go to another random song in the selection and
play the remainder of that album.
All well and good... B U T the OP (and this thread) was talking about doing it on a Shuffle:
"...I have a playlist that is uploaded to my iPod Shuffle.
But my Q is:

Get it?

  • How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

    File -> Export to a folder and copy it over.
    That will give you a folder with the images. There is no way to move an album outside of iPhoto. You would need to have a library containing it.

  • Since I upgraded to IOS7 when I synch my photos on my iphone and ipad they all come across in one album and not the separate albums I have them in on my laptop. Has this happened to anybody else??

  • I have pictures on my phone that I can not delete.  There is no trashcan.  These pictures are in albums and not the camera roll itself.  How can I delete them?

    My wife and I decided that we needed separate accounts for our two 4s phones.  To do this, the data from her phone needed to be transferred out, then transferred back in under the different account.  The pictures were transferred back in using Itunes.  These appear as separate albums in the "photos" app.  I would like to delete some (or all) the pictures in these extra albums, but there is no trashcan to put them in.  I can only delete pictures in the "camera roll" itself.  These pictures are taking up valuable memory and I would like to free up some space.  How can I delete them?

    You're welcome. 
    As it relates to pictures, iTunes will only do two things: it will transfer photos from your computer to your device (if you select to Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings); and it will include the camera roll photos on your device in your device backup (if you back up to your computer rather than to iCloud).  It does not transfer photos from your phone, only to your phone.  (Transferring photo from your phone to your computer is done by importing them as expained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.)
    The only area where you might lose pictures by syncing would be if you synced your phone while selecting Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and the photos you had previously synced to your phone from your computer were no longer on your computer.  iTunes is syncing photos one-way; ensuring that the photos transferred from your computer match the photos still on your computer.  If you delete the photos from your computer, then sync, the deleted photos are then removed from your phone.
    This does not effect photos in the camera roll or in your photo stream, it only effects photos in the Photo Library album and albums containing photos in the Photo Library album.
    The deleted photos would have been placed in the recycle bin when you originally deleted them from the computer.  Nothing is put in the recycle bin when syncing with iTunes.

  • Deleting photos from last imported also deletes from all imported and videos..how do I keep one of the albums and not the other?

    I downloaded photos from digital camera and created imported photos and videos(want to keep this one) and last imported and all imported "albums".  Too much space.  As I deleted the all imported group the same pictures deleted from last imported and the import and video groups.  How do I keep on one of the albums an my iPad so I have easy access to them?

    That is how the Photos app works, when you 'copy' a photo into an album that you've created in the app then you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo, you're not creating a separate copy of the photo - so if you delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to the photo, and it will therefore be removed from any albums that you've 'copied' it into.

  • When syncing Ipod to itunes some of the albums pull music from other albums and place the songs in an album that doesn't relate or of the same artist. I have reloaded the ipod twice with the same affect. Any ideas??

    I appreciate any help on this..very frustrating listening to Led Zep album and another groups song is listed in the album. If I look at the album in itunes all albums look perfectly correct.

    I feel your pain!  I have the same exact problem.  Have you gotten a solution yet?

  • HT5731 i downloaded a clean version of and album and not the explicted version

    Contact iTunes Customer Service, and request an exchange.  Nobody wants the Clean versions, and everybody knows it.  The Clean versions are only in the Store to give parents of young kids a warm fuzzy feeling. 
    The stats may show that some people buy the Clean versions, but in fact 99% of those cases are people who got it by mistake, just like yourself.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

    Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
    Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following:  Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
    Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
    Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
    Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date.  This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.

    The same way you put them on the phone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, click on the name of the iPhone, then the Photo tab. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone and click Sync.

    If you are using an iOS device then no, I don't think that you can gift a song, it will need to be the whole album. If you are using your computer's iTunes, and it's not an album-only track, then you should be able to gift individual songs via the downward pointing arrow next to the song's price.

  • HT1849 How do I transfer a single song that I purchased into my complete my album so I can have the complete album and not an incomplete album missing the single.

    How do I transfer a single that I bought previously before purchasing the complete my album so that I have the complete album and not missing the single?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Not sure what you mean by transfer. I suspect you are trying to get it listed in iTunes as part of the album, in which case you can change the details in 'Get Info'.

    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • I bought an album and not all the songs came up listed under the artist name.  They came up as separate songs and not as part of an album.  How do I fix this?

    Hello pjmelli921,
    You have to locate the album in itunes. Highlight each track, hold the ctrl button and left click each one.
    Do a right-click on the highlighted blue, select get info, say yes to editing multiple tracks.
    Hit the options tab, change "part of a compliation" to yes, select ok on the bottom right.
    Resync ipod. This should fix it on your ipod after the resync.
    Hope this helps.

  • In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photos in the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them to disk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doing wrong?

    When you sort the Album in iphoto are you sorting manually? Or by date of the photos?
    When you sort in the Finder how are are you sorting?
    Here's one way to do what you're trying to do:
    Create your Album and sort the pics as you want them. Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • HT2905 itunes has duplicated all my imported songs and not the albums so cannot use your solution

    Itunes has duplicated all the songs of my library; how can you get rid of duplicates the quickest way possible knowing that I can't use
    the suggestion to delete albums as they are the songs and not the albums which have been duplicated.

    The script still works as intended whether you can pre-filter for duplicates or not. As of right now there may be an issue with some of my scripts if the library is displaying available iCloud purchases. Untick Edit > Preferences > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases if the script bombs complaining of missing object properites.
