Can 'track list' button show your playlist rather than album track list?

Hi all
My 3GS iPhone has my music on it in the form of whole albums which live in individual playlists on my Mac, but I also have playlist 'mixes' which I've created from various songs from multiple albums.
When selecting to play a 'mixed' playlist on my iPhone I tap on it, tap the first song to start the music playing, but then if I tap the top right 'track list' button, instead of showing all the tracks in my created playlist it just shows the entire album tracks from where this particular song has come from. Visually I prefer the 'track list' screen but it seems I can't use it if I'm playing a 'mixed' playlist. Is there any way around this?
Also, this is the same if I have a double CD album: once I hit the 'track list' button it shows just CD 1 (or 2 if I'm further down the play list of course), rather than all the tracks even though on they all live in one single playlist on my iTunes. I've even taken the starts of the track names off (some of them start with '1_01 Song Title' for example) when importing them into iTunes to see if that helps but it doesn't: the iPhone KNOWS how that track was originally supplied!
Any help or clarification on this would be very helpful!

sadly, that kind of customization is only easily doable on a computer. the iPhone and it's core apps can not be changed by users. you can request the feature be put in, but unless there are a LOT of requests, you shouldn't get your hopes up as there are a lot of these kinds of requests, and by implementing it, how many other users would be angry and demand it be changed back? http://www.apple.com/feedback/
if you are playing a song that you selected in a playlist, you should be able to hit the 'back' button in the top left to go back to the playlist and view your songs in the playlist.
in regards to the 'cd 1 of 2' thing, you will need to change your song info to get this to show in the format you want. to see the song info, select a song and go to 'file -> get info'. that will show you all of the ID3 tag information, which you can edit to do whatever you want.

  • Match is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. how can I fix this?

    I've set my iPhone to use iTunes Match, but it is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. And there isn't an oedering system on the iPhone, so I have to do it by hand. how can I fix this?

    Sad to see that people have been complaining about this since last year (although not many seem to care, which is odd). For classical music listeners it is a total slap in the face.

  • Can you set live bookmarks to show topic replies rather than new topics (or is that a setting of the site/forum)?

    I have live bookmarks for some forums, blogs, and news pages on my bookmarks toolbar and only one site shows topic replies rather than new topics in the dropdown bar. Can I configure the forum ones to show topic replies or is that a setting configured by the website itself?

    Nope. This is a common request, for some form of preview, typically as Outlook does it. Almost equally common are requests to have absolutely no preview whatsoever in case something nasty happens.

  • I want to customize my song list to show what playlist the song is in.  Is there a way to do this?

    I want to customize my song/music list to show the playlist I have it in.  Playlist is not one of the items you can add to customize the list.  Is there a way to do this?

    I am having the same problem after ugrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.4.
    I found on the net a guy who says to do the following "log in as root and trash the old user icon images file. Then copy the folder froma ML factory disk image and restart". I can't get back to the original post-- tried buy it no longer seems to be there.
    OK-- I don't understand how to do any of that.  I need to know: 1.  what is the name of the folder I am supposed to trash what is the path to get to it. 2. Where do I get the new folder to replace it with and where do I put it.  
    I would really appreciate help. Thank you.

  • In popup step how do I get the "text on the button" in the report rather than button index?

    The handle to the Step.Button1Label gets you the data, but there are several ways to get it into the actual report.
    The easiest is to use the reporttext.
    In a post expression, you can use something like
    Step.Result.ReportText = Evaluate("Step.Button" + Str(Step.Result.ButtonHit) +"Label")
    and then the default report generation will include it in the report. Otherwise, you need to get the text into the Resultlist by various means (check the user manual, or the TestStand II customisation course) and handle the report generation yourself inside of the appropriate sequence in the process model.

  • Can i manage ibook collections on itunes, rather than on the ipad

    can i manage ibook collections on itunes, rather than on the ipad.

    did you mean, iTunes Store and then Books?  thats the only thing i can find (following your notes above).
    what I am trying to do is add PDF documents to iBooks and organise them into collections. 
    however, i have found a work around:
    1. transfer the PDFs to the library (they go into Books automatically)
    2. highlight/select the PDFs that I want to group
    3. right click, get info, info tab
    4. create a Genre.
    doing this method creates categories.  not as good as collections, but this will do for now.
    if anyone can tell me how to create collections for iBooks (using iTunes - not iBooks on the iPad); please reply.
    thanks anyway.

  • Is it possible to use Aperture to make a new image from two existing ones--ie, in a new jpg? I essentially want to create a collage that I can then print as a single image, rather than in a book. Any advice will be most welcome!

    Is it possible to use Aperture to make a new jpg from two existing ones? I'd essentially like to create a photo collage (without using existing templates) that I can then print as a single image, rather than in a book. Any advice will be most welcome! Thanks.

    (Added)
    The main point is that Aperture is used to make digital negatives as good as they can be (for the uses you define), but it does not ADD date to your digital negatives, nor does it produce NEW combination files.  For those tasks you need a Graphics program.

  • I purchased an episode but it is only showing 30 seconds rather than the full 42 minutes. How do I get it to play the full episode as I can't seem to download it again?

    I downloaded a tv epsiode, but it doesn't show the entire 42 minutes. All I get is a clip of 30 seconds, rather than the entire 42 minute episode. I have tried to download the episode again, but it wont allow me to and I have also tried to download the series, but if I do that it wont deliver the epsiode that I already have suposedly downloaded. Anyone have any idea how to help?

  • Is there a way to have numbers in a row show below your slideshow rather than thumbnail images?

    I'd like to have just a row of numbers for the viewer to tick through, rather than thumbnail images, to save space around my slideshow...have checked the counter but that must not have been the thing

    Hello,
    Slideshow thubnails won't accept anything else apart from images. Slideshows only accept images. Use compositions if you wish to insert text etc.

  • My entire iTunes library has been duplicated.  How can I delete all duplicates at once rather than each one individually?

    My entire iTunes library has been duplicated.  Is there any command that will let me delete all duplicates at once, rather than each individual song?

    In particular:
    Once you have used the Show Exact Duplicates feature* you can set about deleting all but one copy of each duplicate file. If all the duplicates have recently been added into your library then you could sort the list on the date added column, select a range of tracks with SHIFT-click and delete all the recent entries.
    * On a Mac hold down Option, then click File > Show Exact Duplicates.

  • Can i create DB in shared mem, rather than backed by a file

    Hi
    I'm using db 4.2.6 version and trying to create a DB in shared mem rather than a file. How do I achieve that.
    While I look at documentation here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/programmer_reference/env_region.html
    ==========
    If the DB_SYSTEM_MEM flag is specified to DB->open(), shared regions are created in system memory rather than files. This is an alternative mechanism for sharing the Berkeley DB environment among multiple processes and multiple threads within processes.
    ===========
    But DB->open() rejects DB_SYSTEM_MEM flat out. db->open() doesn't even talk about flag:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/dbopen.html
    I could specify DB_SYSTEM_MEM for DBENV.
    Here is my code. Also DBENV->open() won't let me specify DB_PRIVATE.
    flags = DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_CREATE | DB_SYSTEM_MEM | DB_INIT_TXN | DB_RECOVER | DB_INIT_LOG |
                DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE;
    dbenv->open(dbenv, dbhome, flags, 0);
    flags = DB_CREATE | DB_EXCL| DB_AUTO_COMMIT;
    dbp->open(dbp, NULL, dbfile, NULL, DB_BTREE, flags, 0);If I create db as above, where is it getting created? I don't see it here:
    # ./bdbperf -t -i 10000 -k 32 -v 128;ls -la dbtest
    create log/transaction
    creating in system mem
    inserted 10000 records. errs 0
    logs removed
    inserting 10000 records took 0s.290ms (29 micros/op)
    done. 0s.290ms
    total 200
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Jul 17 03:04 .
    drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 1180 Jul 17 03:04 ..

    -rw-r----- 1 root root 190424 Jul 17 03:04 log.0000000011
    However, if I specify a filename arg in dbp->open(), I do see a file with that name in my env dir 'dbtest'. db_stat on such file seems to be good.
    # ./lt-db_stat -d dbfile -h dbtest

    When reading the documentation, I would indicate to read the documentation from the release package you downloaded. The online documentation is accurate for the latest BDB release.

    That's a documentation error, it should refer to the DB_ENV->open()method. Thanks for pointing it out! As you can see, the DB_SYSTEM_MEM is linked to the DB_ENV->open() method: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_SYSTEM_MEM

    user3143985 wrote:
    2. how do I get stats for such DB?If you want to allocate region memory from the heap instead of from memory backed by the filesystem or system shared memory, you'll have to specify DB_PRIVATE ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_PRIVATE ). DB_PRIVATE should not be specified if more than a single process is accessing the environment because it is likely to cause database corruption and unpredictable behavior. For example, if both a server application and Berkeley DB utilities (for example, db_archive, db_checkpoint or db_stat) are expected to access the environment, the DB_PRIVATE flag should not be specified.
