Can't play full albums in one genre with shuffle turned on

The problem: All of the albums in the Comedy genre will not play in full regardless of how I select them (artist, title, etc) when any mode of shuffle is turned on. I can select individual tracks and play them, but it will only play that one track (1 of 1) though there are more tracks on the album. If any other song was previously playing when I try to play one of these albums, I get the usual pause symbol first, but then pressing play again makes the pause symbol disappear and nothing plays. When I turn shuffle off, everything works fine, and I can even re-enable shuffle after I have started one of these albums and it still shuffles fine.
I restored software once and the problem went away, briefly, but has returned.

I encountered the same problem some time back...exactly like you. I had set certain Genres to skip when shuffling because I didn't want them to shuffle with the main library. I took skip off just about everything and now have a big master playlist that I shuffle instead of doing Shuffle Songs from the main menu.

  • How can I play all albums of a same genre in shuffle mode?

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOs 7, I can't play all my albums of a same genre in shuffle mode like I used to do with iOs 6.

    The Touch will only play Albums in the correct track order when you select an album, but then it will only play that one album.
    If you want to play multiple Albums in their correct track order, your options are to either:
    1- Make a playlist in iTunes that is sorted by Album (or Album by Artist), sync the playlist to the Touch, and play the playlist with Shuffle turned OFF, or
    2- Make an On The Go playlist on the Touch by adding one Album at a time and play it with Shuffle turned OFF, or
    3- Look for the free app called "Album Mixer" which gives you the "Album Shuffle" capability found on other iPods -- i.e. the playback is by Album in normal track order, then when the Album completes it will jump to track #1 of a randomly-selected Album and play that one in track order.

  • How can I play all songs from a genre  in the new iOS 7

    I used to select a genre in my music and played all songs randomly, now when I open a genre I can only play an album, not all the songs from a genre

    Actually, JinKL, doing a search from "Songs" is harder to do and does not give the exact same result. It's harder to do because I have to key an artist's name rather than pick one from a list. The results aren't the same for several reasons. If you key an artist name that matches a song, you get that song, too. OK, that doesn't happen THAT much, but it does happen. And if I key a partial name, say "Morrison" for "Van Morrison", I get all the songs on "Morrison Hotel" by the Doors.
    "All Songs" should be added to the iPad music player. While they're at it, they should add column titles and allow allow sorting on the column values.

    It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked.  This article explains:

    If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password.  This is an anti-theft measure.

  • How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?  I used to do it with iTunes/Advanced/Join Tracks, but iTunes 11 does not have an "Advanced" button.

    How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?

    Thanks for your reply, Jim.  I imported a CD that I had burned previously with the 2 tracks of sound effects that I had downloaded from the internet (MP3 files), but I did not see an option to join the tracks when I imported the CD.  In the upper right corner there were three buttons: Options, CD Info, and Import CD.  When I click on Options, the drop-down menu has two choices: "Get Track Names"  and "Submit CD Track Names".   I cannot find an option to Join Tracks.  Help!

  • How can I play songs from a specific genre in album order? (soundtracks) I just upgraded from and Ipod nano 5th generations and would like to be able to listen to my soundtracks without having to choose a different album all the time.

    Question says it all!

    You really can't. However, you can create a new playlist and add whole albums at a time to it and then when you play it back, be sure that the shuffle is not enabled and then you can hear whole albums from a certain genre in album order

  • Some albums won't play entire album--just one song at a time.

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes. Now, on some albums, I can only play one song at a time. Any idea why some albums play through without a problem and others don't?

    go to albums
    select all albums
    right click one (as this will be the same as right clicking all of them)
    go to the bottom of the pop up munu
    click "Check Selection"

  • How can I play an album in order on my iphone?  The shuffle is turned off both on the phone and when the phone is sync'd but it continues to shuffle.

    How can I play songs from an album in order on my iphone 4?  The shyuffle is turned off both on the phone and on the device when I sync the phone with my iMac but it continues to shuffle.  All the songs in the album have been checked in iTunes.

    Bill, you ignorant moron.  Turn off the ultra secret hidden shuffle diabolically placed behind the album cover.  Just tap the album cover to expose the sinister little shuffle icon on the right.  Is it blue?  Well, tap it until it is no longer blue! Also, make sure you are in your playlist and not the genius playlist. 
    Hope this helps!  Now, who's ready for ice cream?  Or do  you want to "shyuffle" some more, you weirdo?!?

  • Can't you have more than one Genre in a Smartlist?

    I wanted to create a Smartlist entitled "Club Mix", which would take all my Dance genre and Disco genre, along with a few random songs that were neither genre, so I put "club" in the comment section of those songs.
    My Smartlist was
    Genre IS Dance
    Genre IS Disco
    Comment CONTAINS club
    I get a message saying I have one or more "conflicts". Does that mean you can only use a category (i.e., genre) once in a Smartlist?

    It sounds like you've told the Smart Playlist to Match all of the following rules.
    Change it to Match any of the following rules.

  • Can you sort multiple albums into one single album....?

    So my situation is like this...
    I have multiple albums from one specific Band (in this case its music from Shin Megami Persona.) I have all 8 albums sorted separately in Itunes. When it is sync'd to my Iphone it will show all of them in order which is typical. What I am curious about is if I can put the Albums into one Album name and when I click it, it will then show the 8 albums. Basically, this is for the sake of not having a lengthy album list on the iphone.
    If my question/explanation was unclear, maybe this might help.
    My current Album list looks like this:
    Albums- P
    Paramore
    Persona Reincarnation
    Persona 3 OST
    Persona 4 OST
    Persona 3 FES OST
    Persona 3 Portable OST
    Persona Music Live 2008
    Persona Music Live 2009
    Persona Music Live Band
    Pink Floyd Greatest Hits
    ect... ect...
    What I would like is for it to be like this:
    Album-P
    Paramore
    Persona Sountracks <------ click on this
    Pinkfloyd Greatest Hits
    ect...ect...
    Clicking leads to below
    Persona Soundtracks:
    Persona Reincarnation
    Persona 3 OST
    Persona 4 OST
    Persona 3 FES OST
    Persona 3 Portable OST
    Persona Music Live 2008
    Persona Music Live 2009
    Persona Music Live Band
    I've been able group them all together by changing them all to the same album name but it just leads to a extremely lengthy list of songs. So if there is anyway to sort by the way I explained above, I am open for suggestions. Thanks!!!1!1!1!1

    Thanks. That was very easy and works perfectly. Do you know if I can get my 08 edited footage back into 06 for some additional editing without exporting as a Quicktime movie that I can't edit? I want to add audio tracks that I can edit in synch with my video footage like I can in 06. Thanks!

  • Can't purchase full album, can only get songs individually

    I am connected to iTunes via the wifi on my iPod touch, and when trying to purchase an album it won't let me buy the full album it only let's me buy each song individually. The $12.99 button does nothing when I hit it, but the $1.29 button for each song works. The album has 18 songs so is a waste of money to do each song individually. This happens with every album I try, not just the album that I specifically want. I know the problem can't be with payment because I have just over a $23 balance from gift cards I have redeemed. Also purchasing music through the wifi on my iPod touch is my only option as my desktop computer crashed so I have no other way to put new music on my iPod. Any ideas, comments, solutions????? Any responses are greatly appreciated.

    I can't purchase or even sign on to my account. I keep getting the "time out" error.
    I did get the following response iTunes:
    I understand your concern that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store.
    As a result of overwhelming demand this holiday season--demand that surpassed even Apple's expectations--the iTunes Store is currently experiencing response times that are slower than normal.
