From Shuffle to Playlist Order

If I am listening to my Shuffle in random/shuffle order and come to a song from an album I want to hear more of, can I switch it to Playlist order and hear the rest of the songs in order of the playlist?

I believe that's the way it's supposed to work... WHY not TRY it?

  • Copy songs from shuffle to playlist

    I want to take the songs off my shuffle and put them into a new playlist so I can reorder them--how do I do that?  Or, how can I simply change the order?  (I have the version where you can listen to songs in order or random)

    Two ways to duplicate the playlist from your shuffle.  First way, connect your shuffle to your computer, start iTunes. 
    1.  Select the playlist on your shuffle device by left-click
    2.  Select all songs on your playlist by left-click song 1, press shift key, left-click last song on list
    3.  With all songs now selected, left-click FILE > NEW PLAYLIST FROM SELECTION.  This should immediately make a "duplicate" playlist on your shuffle device which you can then name.
    Second way, again, connected to your computer, start iTunes. 
    1.  Select the playlist on your shuffle device by left-click
    2.  Immediately right-click the playlist to show menu and left-click EXPORT
    3.  Select a "Save In" location and name the new playlist file
    4.  Left-click FILE > LIBRARY > IMPORT PLAYLIST
    5.  Select "Look In" and find the new playlist file from step-3.  This should immediately add the new playlist to your iTunes PLAYLISTS.

  • How do I randomize a playlist order in iTunes 11.0.1.12?

    I recently updated my computer software (iTunes included, obviously) and have come to realize that this new version does not give me the abilities that the previous versions have.  I wiped my iPod clean to start from scratch, as it was full and I was hoping to put newer material on it, and when I went to load a playlist and shuffle it for playback order, I realized that the shuffle button, which is what I used before, is no longer available.  How do I shuffle a playlist order or track order or whatever, within a playlist, so I could copy it to the play order and sync it to my iPod?

    I'm still not sure what this option (to shuffle a Playlist and then Sync that to the iPod) was or where it was in iTunes 10. This is despite your question having been raised by other people.
    Surely, since you can shuffle a Playlist on an iPod, it's not necessary to shuffle it before Syncing, is it?

  • How can I shuffle a playlist in iTunes for an iPod so my stereo play a large playlist in a seemingly random order

    I have an iPod classic that I plug into my car stereo.  My car stereo can play playlists, or if just plug it in, it will play every song in alphabetical order.  Once plugged in, I cannot use the iPod to "shuffle".  I require a pre-shuffled playlist.  I have done this before in iTunes 11 will special instructions, but I've since misplaced those instructions.  I know how to build a large playlist of all of my songs.  Now, how do I shuffle that list of, say, 20,000 songs, and save to a new shuffled playlist?  Don't say it can't be done, because I've done it.  I know Apple removed the ability to do this quickly and easily, because obviously Apple doesn't really take their customers wants and needs into account.  Otherwise, they would see the thousands of complaints after they removed that feature.
    So, is there anyone here that can help me?   I don't really need to hear that it's not supported or that it used to work.  If you know how to shuffle a playlist and save it in that shuffled state, please post the steps for doing this in Windows iTunes 11.
    Thank you in advance,
    Bluemookie

    Just go to Settings, Shuffle, then turn it to Songs. The songs will stay in the same order in the playlist, but they'll switch it up.

  • Ipod shuffle not playing songs in a playlists order

    I am having a problem with my ipod shuffle after the 7.2 update. when I make a playlist for podcasts to play in a specific order, i copy the podcast to a new playlist and click on the left most column on the numbers. This is supposed to tell the shuffle to sort the list by the numbers and play them in order.... WELL its not doing that, when I sync it to the ipod shuffle the playlists keeps rearraging the podcasts or songs in what ever order it deems. I DO NOT have the shuffle button turned on in itunes nor on the shuffle itself. and in both the ipod shuffle contents tab and the playlist that i dragged over to the shuffle both number columns are marked... so there is no reason that i can see for it not to play in order... Is anyone else having this problem? and if so any ideas on how to correct the problem. THanks for your possible help...

    well it should be any problem but incase ther is!!! try visit nearst apple retail/ service centre to do the trouble shooting

  • Cannot Shuffle Music Playlist from Apple TV

    When I go into my homeshare libray from the apple TV, then go into Music->Music Playlist and then choose any of my playlists that my music videos are in, I can play my music videos one by one. There is always the option to shuffle at the top, however when I pick "Shuffle" it displays a yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it and says "no content was found." Any idea why I cannot shuffle a playlists of music videos from the apple TV?

    I'm having the same issue. For some playlists, I can shuffle, but others, it won't and I get that "No content was found". I haven't figured it out yet. Has anyone else?

  • You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    With your playlist in "List view", click on the header over the column of numbers all the way to the left.  This will then reveal the true playback (and sync) order.
    However, the sort order in iTunes may not agree with the sort order on your device, but that is a separate issue and seems to have too many variables to go into here.

  • Excluding songs from shuffle, but including in playlists

    Is is possible to exclue a song from shuffle mode, yet have it still play in a playlist?
    I believe this used to be possible, but I'm unable to do so recently.
    Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

    Jeff, thank you for your reply. I am aware of how to skip songs while shuffling. Let me try to explain my issue another way.
    I have assorted Beethoven, Mozart, other classical music on my ipod. About 50 songs or so. I have deselected them from playing in shuffle mode.
    However, I have put them in a separate playlist "classical music" so if the mood should strike, I can listen to them. When I select the "classical music" playlist, it only shows the first song in the list, and now playing 1 of 1, then abuptly stops, even though there are 50 songs in that playlist.
    I imagine it is doing this because I have taken them out of shuffle?

  • Playlist order sorts differently from music library and ipod

    When I resort a playlist in iTunes and transfer it to my iPod I notice the songs take on a different order. Any one know how to get the desired playlist order to "stick" so it's preserved on the iPod?

    If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar. Magically, it looks like the previous versions of iTunes. Took me 3 hours of trial and error and searching through forums to figure out. Tried calling Apple to have them walk me through it and they said they wouldn't help me since I don't have Apple Care. Whatever. Hope this helps!!

  • Shuffle Is Autofilling From Non-Existent Playlist...

    I have reset, restored, rebooted etcetera...
    When I choose the Playlist that I want it to Autofill from, it fills from a long-gone playlist from months ago.
    What's up with this... ?

    These problems have happened since the 'upgrades' on iTunes and iPod - what a mess...
    I deleted all of my existing playlists and then named a new playlist the same 'name' as my iPod. Put tunes in that playlist from my library, and then told iPod to autofill from that new playlist. It worked... this time anyway.

  • How do i stop my iPhone iTunes from Shuffling songs?

    I cannot figure out how to stop my iPhone Music/iTunes from shuffling songs but instead to play them in order.

    In the Music app, tap the screen to bring up an extra menu bar showing the current song's timeline.  In the lower right is a pair of crossed arrows -- when enabled (blue), shuffle is on, tap it to turn shuffle off (gray).
    Edited to add: That's when you've got the album cover image up, if you're on the track listing, tap the upper-right corner to bring it back to cover art view.  The other two indicators/buttons on the bottom of the same bar are "repeat" (bottom left) to repeat the current track or playlist (two options), and "genius" (bottom center) to generate playlists of songs similar to the one currently playing.

  • How do you get the Touch to not shuffle a playlist?

    I created a playlist for a class I teach, in a specific order. When I go to play it, it shuffles the playlist even though I did not hit the shuffle button. What am I missing? The shuffle is there to "shuffle" if I ask it to, so why is it doing it when I don't? Makes it hard to teach when it keeps changing the order.

    The problem may not be Shuffle. iTouch changes the order of my playlists when they are put in a folder for syncing or transferring from iTunes to the iTouch - before they are ever transferred/synced. I am still trying to find out how to get it to maintain the order I set up when I created the Playlist of Songs in the first place in iTunes on my Mac. Very annoying and frustrating and that goes for the rather paltry instructions offered with this $300 device, too.

  • Random FLV from an SMIL Playlist

    I have been trying to find a way to randomly select an flv
    file to play in a 400x100 signature I have for some of my forums.
    There is no user control on this swf besides onRollOver to start
    the flv and onRollOut to pause it. What I want to achieve is
    whenever the swf is loaded that it will randomly select an flv from
    a playlist. From what I have read, SMIL is the best format to use
    with FLVPlayback. All I should be needing to do is typing in the
    SMIL URL into the concenturl inside the properties of the
    FLVPlayback. However, this doesnt work. I also haven't a clue how
    to actually randomize it. I could not find anything regarding the
    required code used in SMIL to randomize the playlist.
    Any help, hints and clues would be very appreciated as this
    has stumped me for quite some time.

    If I am listening to my Shuffle in random/shuffle
    order and come to a song from an album I want to hear
    more of, can I switch it to Playlist order and hear
    the rest of the songs in order of the playlist?
    I believe that's the way it's supposed to work... WHY not TRY it?
