Album Shuffle does not play entire album

I imported my entire album collection in to iTunes. 99% ripped years ago as MP3 before iPods and iTune. The albums display correctly as one with one cover art. I use Album shuffle to listen to my collection. For several albums, iTunes plays one or several tracks and then moves on to another album. It will at a later time come back to the album and play other track or group or tracks like it thinks it is another album. I have checked the info for the album and everything looks good. No skips track set. They are also not compilation, tribute or greatest hits albums.
Any suggestions?

Album shuffle will go to a song and play the remainder of that album in order. When done, it will go to another song at random, and play the remainder of that album in order.
If it goes to the 4th song it plays from that point to the end so songs 1-3 won't get played unless it lands on one of those songs when changing albums.

    My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

    I FINALLY GOT IT! after months of relentless synching/autofilling problems on my 4th generation i figured out the solution.
    this is what i did: plugged in ipod on off mode~>manually deleting my ipod's songs~>restored factory settings~>unchecked automatic synch~>made a new playlist with exactly the songs & order i wanted for my ipod (just dragged old playlists into the new one)~>then autofilled that new playlist into my ipod. came out like a charm! (before u autofill UNCHECK random add songs)
    my ipod always ended up autofilling/synching my customized playlists wrong or it would automatically do my music library (and that was way unorganized), so this worked.

  • Shuffle does not play playlist in the order set in itunes, when play in order is selected

    My new shuffle does not play the songs on a playlist in the correct order (as they appear in itunes), my previous shuffle allowed me to see tha tracks and swith the order.
    Why won't this new shuffle play in the order I want (shuffle isn't selected)

    Thanks

  • When I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular album has multiple albums, it does not separate the albums but lines up all of the songs...such as all the 1's..then 2's and so on.  How do I fix that?s

    Should that read "when I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular artist has multiple albums," because if not, I don't understand?
    If I'm right about that, I'm still not really clear at all about what you're doing. Where are you importing these songs and albums from? Is it existing songs files and if so, what format are they in?

  • IPod Shuffle does not play podcasts in set order

    I see others have been having this trouble and have tried the recommendations but they are not working.
    I have tried to set the play order of podcasts and am only successful when I sort them by time. If I download a number of podcasts on the same day (someone said that they play by download date) I cannot set the play order. Someone said to drag the podcast to the desired order and that does not work with podcasts. It might with albums but not with podcasts.
    In addition, someone said to drag each podcast to the iPod in the order you want each one played. That does not work, either. Finally, if I do settle for the order displayed in the iPod play list and I haven't sorted by time, the Shuffle will not play them in the order played in iTunes.
    I have Shuffle set in iTunes to repeat all play; not shuffle. I don't use autofill. I'm sure I'm setting the button on the back of the Shuffle to play in order. Is there something I'm overlooking?
    I'm running the latest of both iTunes and iPod Shuffle on Windows XP Pro. I just re-loaded this software on a new computer and had the same problem with XP Pro on the old computer.
    Am I asking too much from iTunes? I don't use it for music. Do I actually need a more sophisticated program other then iTunes if I use Shuffle only for podcasts?

    That is in fact how podacsts work in the iTunes/iPod system. The only sorting is based on release date (time) which is set and sortable only in iTunes. You aren't missing anything,and nothing you do subsequently will affect that order; podcasts are and are treated differently.

  • Album artwork does not appear in album list or grid

    I added album artwork (did get info then copy and paste) and it shows up fine in cover flow but does not appear in album list or grid view.
    What am I doing wrong?  Artwork files were scanned from album covers that I have.

    Your album artwork cache may be corrupt. Provided most, if not all, of your artwork is embedded you can simply delete the Album Artwork folder that you will find inside your main iTunes folder and then scroll slowly through the library in Grid/Albums mode to rebuild it. Any images that were "downloaded" rather than embedded will need to be reacquired.
    Threre are separate folders for the downloaded and cached images, but I've always gone for a complete rebuild so I don't know it would work to delete just the cached folder.

  • Album Art Does Not Resize in Album Art Panel

    For some reason some of my album art does not fill up or resize when I resize the album art panel (the lower left hand side of itunes). This happens only with some, not all, of my art. Some additional background:
    - No problem with album art in cover flow or grid views
    - album art was embedded in file by another program (not itunes)
    - Occurs in itunes 7 and itunes 8
    - for the album art that is a problem, the art does not fill in the album art panel and therefore when i resize the panel, it just stays the same size.

    I still don't understand why it would scale in the other views (cover flow and list view)
    Who knows? The artwork preview panel pre-dates Cover Flow, so when Cover Flow was intoduced and made to scale art up as well as down, perhaps nobody considered revisiting the code for the artwork panel to make it work the same way. However, I find the existing behaviour quite handy for spotting when I have images that are too small, since these generally don't scale well. I have my artwork panel set to fit my minimum acceptable size of 200x200 pixels so if I ever notice a white border I know to try and find better quality art.

  • 2Gen iPod Shuffle Does Not Play .m4a Songs

    My 2Gen iPod Shuffle 1GB only plays songs that I purchased from iTunes (.m4p) and will not play any songs that I ripped to iTunes (.m4a). According to iTunes, I successfully transferred 80 songs on to my Shuffle. Under the Settings tab, it shows that all the songs are loaded and I have plenty of capacity available. Under the Content tab, all my songs are listed. I have the latest software version and have reset twice with no success. My iPod Classic plays the songs fine. I appreciate any help or suggestions.

    Ian - thanks for your input. My bit rate was well under the limit. This is what I've found out so far. The songs that my iPod Shuffle do not play are the (.wma) songs I converted to (.m4a) using EasyWMA. The converted songs work fine on my MacBook iTunes and iPod Classic, but not the iPod Shuffle. I contacted EasyWMA and it was suggested that I convert the selected songs to either (.mp3) or AIFF. As an experiment, I converted some (.wma) songs to AIFF using EasyWMA and had iTunes convert the AIFF files to (.m4a). Interestingly - it worked. I have no idea why the Shuffle did not recognize the EasyWMA (.m4a) direct converted songs (especially since the iPod Classic and iTunes had not problem playing them) - but apparently the iTunes conversion does something that the Shuffle software requires. Still a mystery, but at least I now have a much wider assortment of music on my Shuffle than I started out with.
    Thanks again - George

  • IPod shuffle does not play files 100 MB

    Could anyone help me out with the following issue please:
    After uploading a large mp3 file (>100MB) onto my iPod shuffle (2nd generation, 1GB) - uploading does not give any error messages - the song just does not play when I disconnect my iPod and hit the play button. It automatically continues to the next file in my playlist which is smaller than 100 MB. I reconnected the iPod to my computer and iTunes, and the file is still in the iPod playlist and can be played in iTunes without any problems.
    If I upload a file with a size just smaller than 100 MB (I tried 95 MB) I do not experience the problem mentioned above, it will just play the file normally.
    Is this a limitation of the iPod shuffle or is something wrong with my iPod shuffle?
    Thanks for your help!
    Erwin

    It's probably no consolation, but I routinely play audiobooks >100MB on my 2nd Gen shuffle.

  • CD/DVD drive does not play entire disk

    Greetings!
    I have an iMac (2009 acquired) 3.06GHZ - Mac OSX 10.6.8 - 4GB mem.
    I am experience CD/DVD drive problem with some CDs with photos: The drive starts accessing the disk
    but at some point (say, midway through a 300 pic cd) seems to stop recognizing the presence of photos on the disk.
    At that point, Preview cannot access such "unrecognized" photos and Icon vew does not show such "unrecognixed"
    photos. It is as if the drive is not able to explore the entire disk.
    Same seems to happen when I write to a blank DVD disk: some material ends up not being written to disk.
    Any help welcome!
    - Roger T.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Are you sure that the Files work with the Mac?
    Err... Typical example: CD recorded on a PC, with many .jpg files (photos) on board. Seems that there is no "File compatibilty" issue here. CD starts playing on the iMac, in Preview (Icon display mode). Soon, Icon display mode just stops. Seems that the drive is not able to "drill" into the material on the CD further than a certain ares. At this point, it is even difficult to eject the CD. iMac seems to lock up.
    I would put the Movies in a mp4 file and the pictures in a jpeg.
    No movies on the CD
    Why don't you use an external drive or Air drop to move files?
    Should not need an external dribe to just play a CD containing photos, provided by another party. Simple operation , no?

  • My 4th gen shuffle does not play more then one type of podcast It will only play this american life even if I have the moth on it.  It play what ever is first on the list

    My 4th gen shuffle only plays the first category of podcast and will not go to the next category, it will only repeat. Example:it will play all pod casts of this american life(first on the list) and not got to the moth (second category on the list).  It does not work like my old shuffle.

    if you make a playlist and load the podcasts in the order you want to listen to them, it will work.  In effect you are double syncing.  I had the same problem and got it to work

  • Shuffle does not play - is it toasted?

    I can use iTunes to load music and my computer shows that it is there, however when I disconnect from the computer it will not play... no lights nothing.
    The battery test works on the shuffle and displays a green led when pressed.
    I restored back to original state and also tried the latest update and it still does not work.
    I can always see shuffle from iTunes and load music. Diags in itunes says everything is ok.
    Is there anything else I can try? Or, is my shuffle toast.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    The slide switch sometimes gets crud in it... slide it up and down a number of times and then all the way down to shuffle position and watch the light on the front as you press PLAY... what happens?

  • "Shuffle" does not play all songs

    I have the original iphone that I have had very good luck with. Lately, I've noticed that when using the shuffle feature of the ipod, it only plays some of my songs - for instance, I have 344 songs, but only 316 are playing in shuffle mode. When I take it out of shuffle mode, the little number changes to the actual number of songs I have. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? The songs being left out are the songs most recently downloaded.

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 3GS, without any doubt the shuffle mode is not playing all songs. I have 600 songs, and I only use the shuffle mode. Of these 600 songs:
    - 50 have never been played in 6 months (play counter: 0)
    - 256 have been played less than 3 times
    - 129 have been played less than 7 times.
    - Remaining songs, except from the top 4, have been played from 8 to 79 times.
    The first four have been played respectively: 511, 319, 223, and 127 times. There obviously is a bias :\. I've mostly never heard more than half of my playlist (and again: I only use shuffle mode).
    If you find a solution, please let me know
