Control of music playback

I just a got an iPod Touch. Previously I used an iPod Classic (circa 2004). Touch is working great but I'm not thrilled with music playback. I want to be able to download my playlist then just hit play and shuffle by albums.
Am I missing something? I don't see many of the playback options I had on my former iPod.
Thanks.

Are you having trouble finding/starting your playlist? Once you start the Music application, you should see an icon for Playlists (and Artists, etc.)
When you open a Playlist, the first thing at the top is the Shuffle option, that will immediately begin play in Shuffle/Song mode. Unfortunately there is no Album Shuffle mode on the Touch -- you can only shuffle by song.
The other way to initiate shuffle play is while you're already playing something, tap the screen to bring up the "scrubber bar". To the right of the bar is the shuffle icon, touch it to turn shuffle ON (blue) or OFF (white). Again, there is no +Album Shuffle+ mode.

  • Can music playback be stopped/started from a second device?

    Is there an iphone app that would enable control of music playback on one iphone from another?
    Specifically, I work with students with Autism. We have incorporated audio tracks including verbal prompts and music that they like to assist them when working out at the gym. It would be wonderful if the instructor was able to pause and resume the audio tracks remotely when "real life" circumstances necessitate.
    (Another fantastic innovation would be the ability to patch in verbal prompts live as needed!)
    Can anyone recommend apps for this sort of scenario, or is it something for the future?
    Thanks for your time

    There is no app that can control another iPhone.
    It sounds like you would be better off having an app that streams music from one source (server). You could then control the audio at that source.

  • Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2

    I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
    I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
    Whats working:
    Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
    Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider.  Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
    Whats not working:
    Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
    Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
    Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
    Thanks

    Same problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
    I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
    HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its  own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
    HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
    HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
    What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
    I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
    How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ?

  • IPhone music playback breaks after making a call - Motorokr t505

    Hi,
    My Motorokr t505 works great with the iPhone for making calls and music playback.
    This all works well with voice control.
    Except, there's a bug in the iPhone.
    If I am playing music, then make a phone call by pressing the Motorokr phone button, after the call is complete, the music playback does not resume reliably.
    Sometimes, it seems to be going fast and playing fractions of a second of music. Other times, it just doesn't seem to be doing anything.
    The solution is to switch off the Motorokr and start playing music again.
    Note, that if I receive a call while playing music, the whole system works perfectly - the music resumes correctly after the call has finished.
    Any feedback? How do I tell Apple so they can work on this problem for the next firmware release.
    regards,
    RR

    Thats your best route.

  • IPhone 4S - after 6.1.1 update, cannot adjust ringer volume, and odd music playback behaviour

    This is a minor issue that'll probably end up in the hands of some apple tech, but I'm curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
    After updating my phone to 6.1.1, I noticed that occasionally I did not hear anything when playing music through earphones. An attmept to adjust the volume simply displayed the "ringer" icon and no volume meter. When I launch a new song from stopped (not paused), there was no sound or any ability to control it. I unplugged the earphones; the play icon remained, it normally disappears indicating a pause. Plugged back in and music started coming through.
    Text/Ring tones are still audible; good because I use it as an alarm clock. The phone is behaving as though it were "docked" though the music playback thing is just weird. I haven't tried playing music while it is actually docked yet.
    Will try a restore tonight after work.

    Ok, so I found this thread in another part of the forum and thought "hey maybe I should try that". I borrowed a can of compressed air from the IT guys and fired it into my phone's dock port. A few particles of who-knows-what came flying out. I've been testing it pretty thoroughly for the past hour, so far it seems to be back to normal. How a dirt particle can short the docking circuitry into thinking it's docked, I have no idea, I'm not an electronics expert...
    Anyone having the same issue, go grab a can of compressed air, blow it into your phones ports (both dock and headphone jack), or try the toothbrush thing in the above link. If you use a dock regularly, keep it clean!

  • Skipping/Stuttering on music playback

    Since upgrading to iTunes 6, music playback has become completely unusable -- everything I play stutters or skips repepepepeeatedly. I've set Quicktime to safe, checked my drivers, defragged by disk, all to no effect. I don't want to abandon iTunes for playback (not least because it will take hours to change all the .AAC files to .MP3, and I'll lose everything I've bought from the music store). How do I fix this -- failing all else, is it possible to go back to version 5, which worked fine?

    I've managed to solve this by winding down the
    "Sample Rate Conversion Quality" under "Advanced
    Audio Properties" (Control Panel | Sounds and Audio
    Device Settings | Volume | Advanced) to its lowest
    setting ("Good"!). I don't know what that actually
    does, but the audio quality still seems fine to me,
    and no stuttering.
    What that actually does is force KMixer to use linear interpolation in its resampling instead of high-end multipoint interpolation.
    If you don't get that, then what it does on most machines is to make the audio sound like total crap.
    Hey, if it works for you, then it works for you, but I would only consider this to be a last resort. The fact that this actually worked for you tends to indicate that you either have a crap soundcard, or that you have crap drivers for your crap soundcard. Updating your audio drivers might be beneficial, and replacing the soundcard with one that doesn't require KMixer to resample normal 44.1khz input would definitely be beneficial.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • How can I control the music that plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

    I don't want to make my parents listen to Breaking Benjamin music as they watch my photo slide shows on Apple TV. Need something more sedate. But if a B.B. song is in my iTunes music library, it is a candidate for random selection as background music for my slide shows. How do I control what music plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

    What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
    I have submitted feedback.

  • Front Row/music playback issue

    Hi all,
    I have a rather large music library in iTunes and I have my Mac Mini attached to my stereo and TV. I use Front Row for music playback. Recently, I have been having trouble as the music will "stall" randomly or "freeze" for a couple seconds, then resume playing. Very annoying.
    I've noticed that this problem does not seem to happen if I select the music from iTunes without Front Row running or if I use FR to select the music, then back out of FR with the little remote.
    Anyway, I prefer to keep FR running. I've seen LOTS of articles and posts regarding video freezing with FR, but not music. Anyone know what's wrong?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem on my macmini. :/
    And I too like to leave Front Row playing songs while I do other thing in my house.
    It hangs in almost every song now, it never did that before. I wonder if it's this iTunes update...
    Is there someone else with the same problem, or someone that could help us solve that?

  • CK-200 poor music playback quality

    Hi, I've just installed the car kit CK-200 (ISO cable version) into my car and I'm very disappointed by the music playback quality.
    I have Nokia C7 with the latest firmware (14.002) and I have also updated the car kit firmware into 3.0.
    There's no problem with the phone call quality - I would say it is comparable to the other car kits (for example to CK-7W I've had before), but if I want to use it for playing music, it still plays it in "phone call-like" quality. I have tried different players, but no success - still the same low quality.
    If I turn the FM transmitter on and tune up the car radio to the transmitters' frequency, I get much better quality then via this car kit (although sometimes it's noisy from other broadcasting radios).
    In the product description of this CK-200 they highlight very good sound quality thanks to some DSP technology - I hope there's more than this.
    Do you have any idea what might be the problem here?

    Hi
    The CK-200 is a mono output car kit that is only designed for calls, not music.
    If a handset is playing music via the mono Bluetooth channel, this is a fluke, and not part of the design of the handset.
    The CK-100, 300, 600 are all stereo car kits with music capability.
    The DSP settings on the CK-200 manage the voice vs background noise in the car so the driver can be heard more clearly by the other caller.

  • Keynote Sync problems with music Playback

    Dear Keynote Experts,
    after long trying I can´t fix this problem.
    I want to synchronize Pictures with 4s duration. This shall run in sync with a music playback which is 120 bpm. So it would be in Sync with the progression of the beats. At least the pictures don´t run smooth in my case during the presentation. I checkes the timing with a watch the and it seems as if the single pictures move in unequal durations. Weird?
    I tried an Update of Quicktime and tested the whole thing with a new Keynote document only programmed for this syncing purpose. No success...
    Maybe help lies in the intelligent animation tool or something like this which would help, otherwise it should be no great deal, to have the Pages properly changed each 4s.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    All the best
    Tim

    Hi Kelly,
    after a while...
    yeah I do it like this. I record the whole thing with screenflow, as Kenote does a good resolution full screen.
    I would like to export certain sections of my full grouped objects Image. I can refit it on a smaller paper size record this cutout full screen with Screenflow in high resolution, so far so good - but:
    The problem is, when I use smaller paper sizes, the whole Object gets automatically scaled and  the relations of the grouped Object are lost. Is ist possible to keep the absolute values  of the objects (1cm stays 1 cm) when I switch to different sizes of the paper.
    Thanks for your answer...
    Best wishes
    Merry Christmas

  • Does the Iphone 3G support music playback via a bluetooth headset?

    Hi All,
    Does the Iphine 3g support music playback via a bluetooth headset at all, I suspect not...

    It's been on many a user's requested feature list since the first iPhone, and people were disappointed when it didn't show up on the 3G. The adaptor he links to will get the job done.
    I have to admit I've demoed a couple of bluetooth stereo headsets, and the music sounded awful. Perhaps it's improved, but for this reason it's not a feature I've personally wished was included.
