Change song to podcast?

I have three tracks which were downloaded from Guardian Unlimited (the ricky gervais/steve merchant podfather episodes) however they are just in my Music list.
Is there a way i can change them to Podcasts? I would like to do this ideally so that they don't show up in the "Music" folder on my Ipod classic, and i could have them with the other Ricky gervais podcasts IN the podcast section on my ipod.
thanks

See this -> Re-Add Selected Tracks as Podcast v1.1
"This script will re-add the files of the selected tracks to iTunes as if they were a Podcast subscription. The files will then appear in the Podcasts playlist and "behave" as though they are a group of Podcast episodes. Such a Podcast can be set to automatically be copied to iPod and appear in the Podcasts category."

  • Using other podcasts/Changing songs within a playlist

    Can anyone give me the 411 on how to change songs within a playlist once you have a workout going?

    hiya!
    hmmmmm.
    could you possibly send us a screenshot of the playlist as it shows up when you have it selected in your itunes sourcelist? (that might help with trying to work out what might be going on.) for instructions on screenshots, see:

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Since updating to ios 4.3.4 songs and podcasts have speeded up. Music goes faster, people talk faster in podcasts.

    In the podcast playing screen there is a box on the left just under the scrubber bar.  It has a 1/2X. 1X or 2X. Those are the playback speeds.  Tap on the box to cycle through and change the playback speed.

  • I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8  and am using itunes 10.4.

    I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8  and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

    After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

  • Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

  • Does the iPod nano keep changing songs if I keep it in my pocket?

    I'm not going to be running or gymming with the iPod nano in my pocket. It is mostly for home use. I just wanted to know that since there is no HOLD/LOCK button, it may keep changing songs if put in a tight pocket while walking or travelling. Is that the case?
    Also, should I buy it for home use? (With the occasional outdoor trip? Or do you think I just stick to my laptop)

    If you have Shake to Shuffle turned off and you push the sleep button it shouldn't change songs in your pocket. Mine doesn't.

  • I am no longer able to change songs using my headphones

    After updating to iOS 6.0 on my iphone 4S I am no longer able to change songs using the headphone controls and when i double click on the home button it no longer allows me to turn my music on and off without unlocking the screen and going into the music app on the phone.
    Any ideas why this is?  Is it a known bug?

    Start by opening Disk Utility, from Applications > Utilities, then select the internal storage MacIntosh HD, and then Repair Permissions.  You should see some printer libraries noted as having the wrong permissions, that may be part of the problem.
    Be sure you have the latest printer/scanner drivers installed by going to the Canon site and download the latest available.
    You can also try using the Mac OS X built-in scanning software by going to Applications > Image Capture and see if that handles the scanning for you - works great with my Epson scanner.

  • My Ipod Touch Was dropped and screen is broken. How can I get It Fixed? I cannot Unlock the Ipod Touch, all I can do is play Music and Change Songs.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

    You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or send it in to Apple. See:

  • Itunes resets dock and wallpaper everytime i change songs with keyboard

    hey everyone, im having a problem with this new update. ok itunes works fine and everything but when i change songs in the application, or on the keyboard, the dock and my desktop reloads. when i mean by reloading the dock disappears and raises up, my wallpaper does the same

    Silly question: WHY are you deleting music from the
    iTunes library? Can't you just let the library
    grow?
    Not silly at all. Over the years I have undertaken the gargantuan task of converting my entire CD collection to mp3. It's a huge collection and a massive set of mp3s. More than I care to keep on my PC hard drive. So, from time to time I move some from external hard disk storage onto my PC's hard drive. So, I don't really want the library to grow as much as I want it to be fluid. But I don't necessarily want to remove ALL the songs currently on my mp3 player when I add new ones. Other mp3 players I have owned were a little more flexible in this regard. Heck, even the $50 Disney mp3 player I just bought my 7 year old for Christmas is more flexible than the Shuffle.
    You should ONLY have to add the deleted songs back
    to the library AND Shuffle... I suggest you think
    about trading up to a Nano which functions more like
    you would like the Shuffle to do.
    Naah, too many mp3 thingies in the house now as it is. I'll just have to learn to adapt.

  • The progress indicator in version 11.0.1.2 does not appear when a song or podcast starts. It may or may not appear during play.

    The progress indicator in version 11.0.1.2 does not appear when a song or podcast starts. It may or may not appear during play. How do I make it appear so I can start a podcast in the middle of the program?

    No errors in error console. No effect using *. I tried using the dns name of my localhost both in the Firefox URL and in the javascript and I get exactly the same. I have spent a huge amount of time looking into this issue.
    One thing I noticed is that if I use the examples on the internet (http://arunranga.com/examples/access-control/preflightInvocation.html or http://saltybeagle.com/cors/) they work in the same browser. These examples however, are accessed through HTTP proxies.
    I am wondering if the issue has to do with using the same hostname just with different ports.

  • With headphones plugged in, ipod changes songs after 2-3 seconds

    ipod has been working fine until lately. when I plug the headphones in, it will change songs after about 2-3 seconds. Also, sometimes when you power down it will come back on all by itself. Any help would be great !!!!!!

    OK, so here is my problem.  I did originally download the Beta 10.10...  Apparently I kept on getting betas and was running 10.10.2 (which today is still in beta).
    I did downgrade to 10.10.1 (by clicking "Download" in the App Store).
    Right after the downgrade everything with syncing works perfectly.
    Cheers, hope this helps someone.

  • Editing a song or podcast?

    Is there a way to edit a song or podcast? If not, is there any software on the market that can do that? I have a few podcasts that are cool but a few songs have some heavy profanity that I want to delete but not get rid of the whole thing. There are also some songs in the Music Store that for some reason just has explicit versions....wish every artist made a Edited Clean version along with their Explicit versions!

    Editing the music and editing a podcast can be very different, depending upon copyright issues. I haven't tried to edit any songs from iTunes, but I believe you can edit a podcast, by taking it into GarageBand and cutting out what you like. I wanted a song out of a podcast, and the GB route wasn't working, not sure why- used Audio Hyjack Pro and that did the job.
