Can songs be made to play together in shuffle mode?

Some songs are intended to play together like "Golden Slumbers" and "Carry That Weight" or "Moving in Stereo" and "All Mixed Up" and it drives me bananas when you get the first but not the second!
Is there any way to make it so songs play back to back in shuffle like they do when you listen to the album in order?

    - Do you have shake to shuffle turned on: Settings>Music
    - Do you have Shuffle turned on? It is the crossed arrows on the right side of the Now Playing screen right below the scrubber bar. Tap it until it white.
    Next try;
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Keping multi-part songs together in Shuffle mode

    Songs consisting of more parts and therefore files are interrupted suddenly when you use the shuffle mode to play parts or all of your library/collection. Is there a way to solve this, e.g. in iTunes or bij melting the song parts together.
    Or is there another program with which you can do this?
    laptop   Windows XP  

    it's possible to do, but it involves reimporting those songs as a single track, using "advanced > join CD tracks".
    for the technique, and troubleshooting advice, see:

  • Can't get iPhone to stop playing albums in shuffle mode

    I open my albums on iPhone and start playing them but they are always in shuffle mode. The only option at the top is the shuffle mode. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thx

    While a song is playing, go to the Now Playing screen. Next, tap the album cover.  Now tap the criss cross arrows to enable or disable Shuffle. If the arrows are blue in color, Shuffle is enabled.  You can tap the arrows again to disable it.
    Another place for accessing the Shuffle option is at the top of any playlist.
    There's also  “Shake to Shuffle”. This setting will shuffle your music if you shake the device while a song is playing. You can access this setting by going to Settings > Music and changing Shake to Shuffle to On or Off.

  • Linking tracks so they play together in shuffle

    Is there a way to link tracks together, such as movements of a symphony or the medley on side two of Abbey Road, so that they play as one during shuffle mode on iTunes 11.1?

    Okay.. I just learned about "join tracks" but is there a way to join tracks if I don't have the original CD, such as from an iTunes download?

  • How to keep tracks together in shuffle mode?

    When playing in shuffle mode you can't hear tracks in line together while they should be, e.g. in conceptalbums.
    Is there a way to overcome this?
    (You can do it with complete albums when downloading in the Library, but what can you do when the tracks are already in the Library?)

    The second tab is calles 'Info' as well. Down under you have the possibilty to mark Part of a collection (Deel van verzameling). It should do the trick but it doesn't. I once tried, but I haven't found out what it does.
    In English, that is named as "Part of a compilation" and Google Translates that as "Deel van een compilatie". As far as iTunes is concerned, this means that the album has songs by different artists, albums such as the "Now X" series. It is how iTunes keeps a Various Artists album together.

    I want to shuffle works, not tracks..
    Ah! I see what you want now!
    Two possibilities that I can think of (number 2 is the better one):
    Create a Playlist for each "work", by simply adding all the songs from one work to one Playlist and all songs from the next work to another Playlist and so on. Then, if you want to play one complete work, followed by another complete work, you could simply create a further Playlist and add each "work Playlist" you want to this new Playlist. To make the works random, all you could do is choose for yourself as you are adding them. You would need to play this new Playlist in order, not shuffle.
    If you originally imported this music from a CD, you could import from the CD again. But this time, combine the tracks that make up one work, as one track. iTunes names this as "Join CD Tracks" (or CD-tracks samenvoegen in the Dutch iTunes).
    In the screenshot above, I have selected tracks one, two and three and then used the options menu to find Join CD Tracks. This third option will not be visible until you select two or more adjacent tracks, as shown above.
    In the screenshot below, I have joined tracks one, two and three as one "work". Then joined tracks four, five and six as a separate work. Finally, I've joined tracks seven through twelve as a third work.
    Notice in the screenshot that the Options menu says "Unjoin CD Tracks". That is because the highlighted ones (7-12) are currently joined.
    And here it is in Dutch:
    With this second method, a work (of several tracks) will always be played as one track (or song). You can then simply add all the individual works to one Playlist, and play the Playlist in Shuffle Songs mode. That way, each work would be played in full, followed, at random, by another work.)
    And if you really need to - import the CD this second time with a slightly different album name, so that you then have two copies. One, where each song (or track) is the individual song on the album and the second where each "song" is a work.
    Now, lets hope I can get my iTunes back into "English" English, as my Dutch is not too good, even though I'm just the other side of the North Sea from you!

  • Keeping certain tracks together in Shuffle mode

    I have some live music (would like to import it in AAF format) that is tracked but I want to keep certain tracks together as "one track" when in shuffle mode.  I don't mind if I need to make a new second track that is this one long connected track, but need an easy way to do it so that it sounds seamless.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know if this would be seamless enough for your needs, but try using Groups. You can assign tracks to a group be using the "Get Info" window (cmd+I) info tab to assign a grouping.
    To choose whether iTunes shuffles by songs, albums, or groupings, choose Controls > Shuffle > [Option].
    If you select “by Albums” or “by Groupings,” iTunes plays the songs in the order in which they appear on the album or in the grouping, and then chooses another album or grouping at random.

  • Spotify free not working at all on iphone (says I need premium to play radio or shuffle mode)

    I have spotify free on my computer (mac v. 10.9.5) and it is working normally. However, when I try to use spotify free on my iphone 5 (iOS 8.4), it says "premium only" even when I try to play songs in shuffle mode, or the radio, or playlists in shuffle mode. What's the point of downloading this app if it won't play anything at all on the free version? Please advise.

    Hey there! Have you tried reinstalling Spotify on your iPhone? On the home screen, tap and hold the Spotify icon until it shakes.Tap the X symbol on the icon.Restart your iPhone.Open the App Store then search for and install the Spotify app.After that, go ahead adn log in with your username (not your email address) and password; or through 'Log in with Facebook' if your account was created through Facebook. Let us know how it goes!

  • ITunes starts playing album in shuffle mode?

    I haven't used iTunes in awhile, mostly been listening to music on my iPod. When I pressed play, I started to realize that the opera I was listening to didn't make much sense, and looked up, and noticed that it had started in shuffle mode, does iTunes do this now? I have shuffle off, yet it started in shuffle anyway?

    Sorry, let me clarify. I'm not shuffling the songs on the iPod, which would be a random order every time. I've created a paylist within iTunes of about 30 CD's, in which I've shuffled those songs in iTunes. So that playlist is the same list of songs everytime, even though I've shuffled them. That list will stay the same until I reshuffle within iTunes.

  • Can Firefox be made to play Facebook voice messages?

    I have noticed that the some months old feature of Facebook, the voice messages, hasn't been updated into Firefox code so that Firefox can play the .mp4 voice messages that the mobile Facebook Messenger records. So now, a rival browser opens it, but Firefox doesn't and i am a die hard Firefox user, so i have to listen to voice messages through my mobile device, which is time-consuming. Would you consider a fix for it, or can you show me one, as a plugin or codec maybe?

    You could send a voice message through your mobile device using Facebook Messenger to one of your friends. Afterwards, you can try hearing it.
    All i get on my computer is a rolling sign of the voice message loading, but nothing after it. It is really annoying and i consider it really time consuming :( Thanks for the answer though!

  • Is it possible to join two songs so they always play together

    Windows laptop going to ipad and ipod

    As far as i know QuickTime can not support all kinds of AVI, and even it can join AVI files into one, the joined AVI files cannot be imported to iTunes, iPad, iPod, iPhone for playback.
    I know a step by step guide on how to merge video files on Mac or Windows
    This guide support join all kinds of video and audio formats like  MP4, AVI, MPEG, MPG, VOB, MOV, RM, RMVB, 3GP, ASF, WMV, WTV, DVR, DivX, Xvid, M4V, MKV, FLV, F4V, SWF, WebM, OGV, Apple ProRes, AVCHD, MTS, M2TS, M2T, MXF, MVI, DAT, MOD, TOD, MPV, OGM, MP3, WAV, WMA, M4A, FLAC, M4B, AAC, AC3, APE, AIFF, Apple Lossless ALAC, VOC, QCP, AMR, AWB, DTS, AU, RA, OGG  and etc
    And you can join video files as well convert video to other video or audio formats or keep the same video format as the original one.
    And you can also merger several video files even they are not in the same video format.
    Hope it helps more or less

  • Can't hear sound or play sound in Safe Mode?

    I'm having trouble with my G5 and can only log into it using "Safe Mode." Once I get on and try to use my iTunes, it does not music or show the speaker sounds. Speaker icon is now missing from top of the menu bar and it is turned ON. Under the sound section on the System Preferences is shows all the alert sounds "grayed-out" so I can not click or change any of the sound preferances. Is this becuse I am loged in under the Safe Mode? I had access to it before when I was able to log in with my user account. Now under Safe More I cannot hear and sound and all sound utilities are gone. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Exactly the case.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564

  • Keeping iTMS tracks together in shuffle mode

    OK... I know the workaround of keeping tracks together when importing a CD, but how do I do this with songs downloaded from iTMS?

  • Playing Videos Continuously--Shuffle Mode

    I bought about 40 videos thru iTunes over the past few months. I am trying to figure out how to play the videos one after another with out having to manually play the next video--similar to building a play list of music files and having songs play one after another. When I try to play videos in a play list using the shuffle feature, i get an error message that reads "apple tv cannot play the file selected." When I called apple support to figure out why this was happening they told me that apple tv cannot play videos in succession they way I want to. Is this true? Is there a way around this? It seems like a fairly simple feature to implement. Having to select the next video everytime is silly.

    Yes I'm afraid this is true
    Is there a way around this?
    Sorry, none whatsoever

    There are many that agree with you and have it at the top of their lists for feature requests, I'm not sure whether it's an oversight in the current version of tv software or whether it's built in protection against the possibility of having the tv play video 24/7.
