Automatically playing consecutive discs in an album?

I know this question has probably been asked before and I did search but I was unable to find an answer.
Say I have a 2 or more disc album (like Pink Floyd's "The Wall" which is 2 discs). Is there a way to have the iPod automatically play the next disc after it finishes playing the previous disc without having to create a playlist or re-tagging the tracks consecutively?
I noticed there are tags in iTunes for Disc # of #. I had tried adding the info for those tags but they don't seem to do anything.

I usually tag these as one disc because that's how they are meant to be played. You have to make sure the disc titles are the same and I renumber the tracks also.
The only other way would be to put them in a playlist.

  • I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order.

The "Apply Sort Field" and "Same album does not work, but ti is only these two RCA albums that do this. All other albums remain intact. Need help with this minor problem. Thanks.

    UPDATE: This behavior (to an extent) still happens when "Repeat Album" is off. Instead of an infinite loop, it goes through all the tracks on the album (unsuccessfully) and kicks me out to the Album overview screen. Going back to list of Albums and tapping the Album again brings up "No Content: You can download music from the iTunes Store" but that screen immediately kicks me back to list of Albums.
    So I am just even more confused now.

  • I just installed an update on my iPhone and since then the choice to repeat music, or not, has disappeared and it automatically plays songs and albums on a loop. Anyone know how to make it play an album or song just once?

    Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
    Have you tried each of these?

  • How do I play all tracks on an album sequentially on iPod nano 6th generation ?

    I have an ipod nano 6th generation. I want to play all tracks on an album sequentially (as if I was playing a CD) without having to select each one in turn. On my ipod nano it repeats the same song and wont move to the next one automatically. can anyone help ?

    The repeat setting can be found from the Nano's Now Playing screen.  While playing a track, swipe to the right to bring up additional controls including the scrubber bar, as well as the repeat and shuffle otpions. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.

  • ITunes 8 does not automatically advance to next track in album or playlist

    iTunes 8 was recently installed for me by the company on my company laptop. This was done automatically by LANDesk. (We call this being LANDesked. I was forced by LANDesk to reboot my computer twice yesterday, but I digress.)
    iTunes does not automatically advance to the next track in an album or playlist, either in list view or grid view.
    List View: I can play any song in an album by double-clicking it or by selecting the track and pressing the play button. When it gets to the end of that track, it does not automatically advance to playing the next track. Pressing Ctrl-Right stops the current track and does not play the next track. The Next button is active and it, too, stops the current track and does not play the next track.
    Grid View: Play Album button appears to be active but does nothing.
    Is there some setting I'm missing that was set to do this in iTunes 7 but not in 8?

    Thanks. That fixes the problem. I'm an idiot.
    I thought the check boxes were for selecting which tracks get synced to my iPod or iPhone. I must have unchecked them all (before the installation of iTunes 8) when I was trying to figure out how to sync a 2nd computer (this one) to my iPhone.
    I can't find anything in the iTunes help about this necessary fact for playing your albums and playlists. If you look on the Index tab of the help, neither check nor uncheck are found in the list. If you search for check, you eventually find, amongst all the pages, that you need to have tracks checked in order to burn them to a CD and to import them from a CD, but I find nothing about checking to play tracks. Also, the help is very confusing on the difference between selecting one or more songs and checking the check boxes of one or more song. These seem to be used interchangeably occasionally.

  • HT5295 How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    Hi there.
    I listened to podcast there were two things I found that helped me out. Both we're in the podcast app itself.
    Firstly change the default sorting order. When looking at the list off episodes a available on your ios device tap on the description part at the top, this will bring up the settings for that podcast (subscribe mark as played etc) scroll to the Bottom and select oldest first. This will mean that if you are listening to the latest download it will stop at the end as there will be no more to play.
    Secondly, and useful if listening to older podcasts in the list, you can use the timer to stop once the current episode has ended. To do this when you are in the podcast playback screen slide the "album artwork" up, revealing the playback options and nifty tape playing animation this is where you adjust playback speed and set a timer. The timer has a number of options to set playback to stop after set amount of time. However one of these options is to stop once the current episode you are listening to ends. This can also be current chapter if the podcast you are listening to supports chapters.
    Hope this helps, if not clear let me know

  • I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

    have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.
    How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

    Hi,
    Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
    If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

  • Is it possible to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

    There are some beautiful new changes to iTunes 11, but also some things I really like have been taken away. One of them is being able to see my playcouts as I browse. Not just in the playlist or songs list view.
    Does anyone know if there is any way to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

    typo... sorry
    I have 3 product codes that I want to report on - Mold, Repair, and Production.  For Mold and Repair, I want to print out only the top 1 job for each order.  For Production, I want to print all jobs.  I have GH1 to group by ProdCode.  GH2 groups by Orders.  Detail A section has a formula to suppress if ProdCode = Production.  Detail B suppresses if ProdCode is not Production.  I can get the suppresion to work but I don't know how to get the Top 1 to show when Detail A is shown.
    Obviously I'm new at Crystal Reports - about 3 weeks.

  • IPod touch 5th gen... play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order?

    Hi.
    On my old ipod classic I can play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order.  Is there a way to do this on the ipod touch 5th gen?  I can see how to play all songs by an artist but only in alphabetical order, not one album after another...
    Thanks,
    J.

    You can't please everyone ... some people want to be able to find a particular song by an artist and can't remember the name of the album from which it comes. By sorting all songs by an artist alphabetically you can go right to it. But I agree with you, I'd much prefer album order. Submit your feedback via the link provided, and yes the workaround is to create an On The Go playlist, or create one in iTunes.

  • My CD/DVD drive automatically ejects every disc I put in.

    Hi!
    I have an Mac Book 15" - Late 2011 / OX 10.9.2  8 Gig RAM AND 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor.My CD/DVD drive automatically ejects every disc I put in immediately. I can't figure out why it's doing this as till December 2013 it was doing fine? I had to reinstall OX and Maverics as my Laptop was lost and recovered and I had actioned erase all data.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    If you suspect it could be the latter, you may just have to replace the optical drive, or add an external one that supports Mac OS X utility booting, and not use possible rootkit CDs again.

    Ted,
    As you have observed, burn speed CAN have an impact on playability of the resultant BD, or DVD-Video. Probably a greater factor is the brand of blank media used, but burn speed is often a factor too.
    Unfortunately, PrE goes with the fastest combo, based on the speed of the media, and on the speed of the burner, and chooses the fastest possible. I find that a short-coming, and use other burning utilities, so that I can adjust the burn speed down a bit. Within parameters, slower is better. I nearly always go with ~ 4x for BD and DVD-5's, and ~ 2.4x for DVD-9's. To date, I have never had one returned disc, and all test fine on about six different players here, plus two multi-drives on the workstation w/ DVD/BD software players. The difference in time to do a burn at 8x, or above, is more than offset vs say a 4x burn, if I have to do just one more burn. I also only use premium blank media, as saving a few ¢'s is false economy, if I get returns for playability issues.
    Unfortunately, no BD, or DVD player is certified to play ANY burned disc - only commercially replicated discs, so one is never 100% certain that a client, or family member might not have a player that plays NO burned disc. Testing can verify that a wide range of players WILL play the disc, but there could well be some players out there, that just refuse to do so, or do so properly.
    From reading of playability issues, it also seems that some of the higher-end players are more finicky regarding burned discs too, and that is one reason that I test on several, from a US$ 49 "bargain basement" older unit, up to an esoteric Marantz - though that obviously does not cover EVERY player - just a broad range of players.
    As all multi-drives ARE certified to play a broad range of discs, including burned discs, so long as the viewer has adequate DVD/BD software players available, the discs should play on a computer.
    I support your workflow completely, and have filed feature requests for PrE to allow for burn speed adjustment.
    Thanks for the comment,
    Hunt

  • Why does iTunes play consecutive songs by the same artist so often?

    Is there a way to stop or greatly reduce the issue in iTunes of playing consecutive songs by the same artist when playing in "shuffle" mode?  There was a slide tool in preferences that allowed you to set that to "less likely" or "more likely" but that appears to be gone from iTunes now, or at least I can't find it.  Not that it matters much, the problem was WORSE when they added that "tool" anyway.  It was less likely before they added whatever that algorithm was.  Now this happens constantly that my iPod plays 2 or 3 consecutive songs by the same artist when I am playing it in shuffle mode.  I have over 3500 songs on my iPod but it will usually play only a small percentage of those before starting to repeat also.  It seems to "stick" in a small area of the alphabet when in shuffle mode.  Meaning, it will play artists whose names begin with say L through R and ONLY those artists, then repeat a bunch of them after playing only 20-30 songs.  Everything else seems to be working fine on my iPod but this.  I suspect it's the programming in iTunes but of course, I have no way to prove that and Apple being the quasi Communist gov't type that they are, I can get no answers from them on this or most questions I have.  Maybe somebody here has encountered one of these issues and can offer some resolution?

    I wish Apple would just remove the feature that supposedly addresses this issue.  It worked better when there was no setting for this.  I'm just tired of being pencil whipped by Big Brother.
