Album tracks playing in random order

I downloaded an album from iTunes today and when I went to play it, it's shuffling. I haven't asked it to. It's a Richard Hawley album. That guy doesn't even let you speak at his gigs. He'd go mental if he knew. I have checked on the "Get Info" tab, and each track is correctly listed in order. So why won't they play in order? Any ideas? Thanks

If the shuffle symbol is lit up blue then click again to turn it grey and turn off shuffle.
Otherwise what order are the tracks playing in? Is it consistent?

  • Music tracks playing in random order!

    I am seeing a problem whereby album and/or playlist tracks are being played in random order. The problem is affecting both my iPhone and ipod Nano and seemed to start fairly simultaneously onboth devices. This isn't like using Shuffle - after listening to 1 or 2 tracks in an album or playlist random tracks are being played from elsewhere in my music library. The problem doesn't occur when listening to albums or playlists on my Macbook. I'm running iTunes 8.0.2 on my Macbook.
    Appreciate any advice from anyone that may have seen a similar problem!

    Does sound like Shuffle to me. Even if you are not hitting the Shuffle (words at top of playlist), if you ever did, what that really did is just turn shuffle on.
    Go play any song. Then tap center screen on the album. Another set of controls appears near top. Repeat, Progress and Shuffle. Blue is on, white is off.

  • Audiobooks play in random order

    Hi,
    I am having an issue (it's quite common, according to Google), where audiobooks appear to play in random order om the iPhone, while playing fine in iTunes.
    I could not find any fix or workaround on the net, so I'm wondering if anybody here knows the answer. It appears to be some kind of bug in iTunes 9.x and iPhone 3.1, as the same audiobooks used to work fine before. And no, it's not just a question of turning shuffle off.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nike

    I've only just bought into the iPhone so I'm not sure how it handled audiobooks before but it's possible that changes in the treatment of Album Artist or the number of discs field may be causing your problems. Using iTunes 9.0.2 with my 3.1.2 iPhone I find it groups the chapters of a multi-track audiobook together and in the right order, although sadly the chapter titles have been replaced with Part X of Y.
    You might find some of the techniques I describe in Grouping Tracks Into Albums useful. A workaround would be to use playlists for your multi-track Audiobooks as described in Audiobooks on iPods, or just treat them as reqular albums.

  • My downloaded TV Shows are played in random order, how do i fix this?

    My downloaded TV Shows are played in random order, how do i fix this?
    Basically I have 10 complete seasons of Friends and I often watch it again and again but at the moment my itunes play my tv shows in random order!
    Please help!

    First, make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes on your computer. Update your Apple TV if you are using this as well.
    Second, if the updates don't resolve it, you'll need to use 'Get Info' on each TV episode. Make sure the media type is 'TV Show'. Then make sure that the epside number and season information is entered properly.
    That should fix your issue.

  • Tracks in album playing in random order

    When it goes onto the next track or I hit the forward button it seems to go to a random track. Not 1-2-3-4-5 etc as expected.

    Do you have shuffle on? With a track playing, tap the album art (in portrait orientation) to bring up the scrubber bar. At the right side of that is a shuffle icon (crossed arrows) - if it's blue, you've got the global shuffle on; tap it to turn it off (white).

  • One track played out of order

    I've noticed this problem since one of the last updates: I have my settings on shuffle by album and the albums normally play from 1 to the end. However, certain albums skip a track in the middle and play it last. ex. 1-4, 6-10, 5 (My Morning Jacket, Z) It doesn't do this with every album, but quite a few. I've messed with the settings and album info, but can't find anything that would explain why it does this. And it does it on both my mac and PC...
    I'd appreciate any suggestions!

    Alright- figured it out.  Each out of order track had an "album artist" filled in (a field under artist when you click "Get info) and the others just just had "artist" filled in.  By filling in an "album artist" on all the tracks in addition to the already filled in "artist" field, I got them to arrange themselves properly in the album order.  I assume blanking out the "album artist" field on the tracks that had it also might have worked.  I think the key is making sure all the meta-data is exactly the same.

  • IPhone Podcasts sorted correctly but playing in random order

    I have iTunes 9 and iPhone 3.1. I have read the discussion of people having trouble getting smart playlists of podcasts to sync in the same order as in iTunes. I am not having this problem. I have a smart playlist with podcasts in it and when I sync it with my iPhone and go to the playlist all the podcasts are appearing in the correct order. My problem is when I play them it plays them in a random order (as if shuffle is turned on). I can't see any option to turn shuffle off (if that is in fact what is causing this) or whether this is part of the same problem others are experiencing. I know in iPhone 3.0 when playing a podcast there was a little icon at the top near the 2x and repeat icon that enabled you to turn shuffle on and off but this doesn't appear for me anymore.

    Don't use search to display then play items. Just use it to find them.
    iTunes menu View -> Show column browser.
    Select an artist/Album and press Play.

  • Playlist shuffles and plays in random order

    My new iPhone 3Gs is driving me nuts when I'm trying to listen to a playlist I created and loaded on my computer. The iPhone plays all of the songs on my playlists in random order. I have the "shake to shuffle" mode off and "shuffle" is not on. I even check to see if the "shuffle" was on in iTunes and it is not. What is the deal? Anybody else having this problem?

    From the Now Playing screen, tap the album cover to see the additional song controls. Makee sure the shuffle symbol on the right side under the scrubber bar is selected to "white".

  • Zen V Plus plays in random order -- whether I like it or n

    Hi All,
    I searched and read the FAQ but couldn't get an answer that addresses this issue:
    I've put my music on my new Zen V Plus (which I absolutely _love_!) and organized the songs into playlists. When I select a playlist and start it at the first song, however, the order of the songs that follow from there are *completely* random. If I go back and start again, it randomizes the playlist in a different -- random -- order. I've looked through all of the menus and can't find a "random" or "shuffle" setting to turn off. Is this normal? Am I missing some trick?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Romerica --
    Thanks for your speedy reply! I looked on the Main Menu and there was no "Play Mode" listed. However, having but recently learned about the "Configure Menu" option (under System/Player Settings for those having this same issue), I went in and discovered that the "Play Mode" was un-checked. I checked it and went back the the Main and voila! "Play Mode" was now listed and I could set it back to Normal. Problem solved! Multo, multo grazie!
    Regards,
    Mark

  • Why is the track order of my album being played out of order?

    The track order of my album appears correct in iTunes and on my iPod Classic 160 but.......... it plays the tracks out of order. frustrating when listening to stand up comedies.... I checked the "info" of each album and the track listing/order is correct..... help?

    Have you checked your iPod's Settings to make sure the Shuffle setting is set to Off.

  • I can't get album tracks in the correct order

    Hello
    The tracks in my 'favourite worst nightmare' album by arctic monkeys are in the wrong order and i can't fix it. All my other albums are fine.
    The tracks are all in the correct order in windows explorer, but in itunes, they are listed 4,5,2,3,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1
    They are all by same artist, same year, same album, same genre.
    When i search for the album and get it on its own, i am able to put it in correct order, but as soon as i cancel the search and view the full library, the songs go back into this dodgy order.
    Any suggestions ?
    thanks

    I am having a similar problem with my Goo Goo Dolls album, Let Love In - I've had it for months and it has been fine but the other day it started to lose the correct order - it started with only one song but then it spread and it was so random I couldn't listen to the album (I am very particular about the order of albums) - Now it seems to only be the first song that is out of place, it is at the end BUT I have no control over changing the order anymore, something that has changed because I used to be able to do that - I haven't updated because of all the trouble everyone had with 7.2 so I have 7.1.1.5 - I HOPE that someone can help me here because I can't listen to that album anymore and I Love the Goo Goo Dolls...

  • Album tracks suddenly out of order

    For some reason a few of my albums are out of order-- not considerably out of order, but in one of them the 4th and 6th songs show up 1st and 2nd, and in another the 2nd song shows up 9th.
    BEFORE YOU ASK: No, shuffle is not on, and no, the track numbers in iTunes are not incorrect because I have triple-checked this (seems obvious) and the tracks on my nano USED to be in the right order, but now suddenly aren't (and only on these 2 albums, at least that I've noticed so far).
    I tried deleting the songs off my nano and recopying them from iTunes (where again, they show up in the right order) but the nano put them in the wrong order again.
    Simply resetting doesn't work.
    Can anyone give me any ideas how I might fix this? Searched everywhere to no avail, thanks in advance---

    As I said before, I tried deleting the songs off my nano and recopying them from iTunes (where again, they show up in the right order) but the nano put them in the wrong order again.
    I also tried changing the album number and recopying them, but the same tracks are still in the same wrong order.
    Any other advice?

  • Track play counts randomly resetting since iTunes 11 update.

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anybody knows if Apple are doing anything about this issue?  I've seen another post on the support community that has a work around, but to be honest, I have no interest in doing some complicated work around that ends up losing anything I've downloaded since the last iTunes Libary file backup (or whatever you have to do).  I'm still really struggling to get used to the new iTunes store and overall iTunes layout, however given more time I'm sure I will get used to it (although I'd still rather have the old version back).  This play count issue is a real pain though and it only effects tracks bought from the iTunes store.
    Anyway, I'll quit my pathetic moaning now in the hope that someone can offer some sort of light at the end of the tunnel.
    Cheers,
    Wiu

    I'm having the same issue. I have an iPod Classic 120gb with 2.0.1 and iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

  • Albums playing out of order?

    I'm using iTunes 12.1.2.27 on OS X 10.10.2.
    Something very funny is happening. In album view, whenever I double-click on an album, it will play the tracks in a random order. If I double-click directly on the first song in the album, it will play that, but the following tracks are in a random order.
    The only way I've found to play an album in the correct order is to either use the search and double-click on the album, or to click the play icon in album view.
    What's up with this behavior? Why do albums not *always* play in order? These albums are properly tagged, with each track having the right track number.

    Play a song.
    Tap the artwork (center of screen while playing)
    In menu that appears for Repeat, Progress, Shuffle, Genius....is shuffle on (blue means on, white is off).
