How can I change music to podcast?

Have Windows 7; iTunes 11.2.2.3; iPod Touch 5; iOS 7.1.1, and iPod Shuffle Software version 1.02
I have some audio files that really aren't music. Some are podcasts from other devices and some are audio learning tracks. I don't want them to be with the music because I like to play new music on shuffle. Nothing could be more irritating to be jamming (or chillin') and all of a sudden hear someone talking loudly about Cisco routers or Learning Vietnamese.
Is there some way to change the type of audio file to a podcast rather than music?

In iTunes on the computer right click on the items and select Get Info. Then go to Option tab and change the Media Kind to Podcast

When you download music, it comes in the format that the store supplies it.
WAV is a common format for the DJ market, as it is the best as input for pro audio editing. Stores that cater to this market, and from which you can buy music in WAV format, include beatport.com and Juno Download
Both of them also offer MP3/320 as an option, so make sure to select WAV.

How can I change file to Podcast from Music or Audiobook?

I am frustrated with how some of my files are automatically categorized. For example, I listen to podcasts of This American Life on my iPod. If I purchase them, they show up as Audiobooks. If I get them from the podcast, they show up under Podcasts. If I get them from CD, they show up as music. How can I move them so they are all in the same place. I thought maybe I could drag them, but that doesn't work.

Thanks! I didn't know about that. Unfortunately, "Podcast" isn't an option. So if it's something I normally get as a podcast, but occasionally get from another source, is there a way to put the files under Podcast? Or do I need to move it all to Music in order to have it consolidated?

How can I change an existing podcast?

My webmaster put up a podcast into iTunes before I had a chance to edit the title and description.
I would like to change the title and description. Is there a way I can do this or do I need to delete the first one and put up another?
If I do have to delete, how do I do that?
Thanks for the help!

I believe you have to change the RSS feed. In order to do that, you need access to the host/server where the podcast's RSS is uploaded. Just go in and edit the title fields and whatever else you want to change.

How can I change a audio podcast into a video podcast?

Hello,
I'm currently using the lastest version of iTunes and have successfully imported all my music, movies, home videos, books, etc. I'm having an issue with iTunes U and Podcasts. The reasons is because I don't actually use them for the real purpose. Instead, I keep home movies in one and sporting events in another. I don't want to mix them in with the movies, so I thought I found a nice work around. Since these movies are my own, nothing was purchased through iTunes. The problem I'm encountering is that some of the videos have been recognized as videos and some others as audio versions of Podcasts or iTunes U. They are all labeled in as either podcasts/itunes u in the media type field, but I can't seem to find any option to get them solely as Podcasts > Video or iTunes U > Video.
P.S. I also converted the files to Apple TV format, so file type shouldn't be the issue as they would all be the same. Can anyone shed some light? While they do transfer, the ones that show up in music only plays sound without the video.
Thanks for any assistance!

I figured out a workout around for anyone who may run into a similar problem.
1) Delete Files from iTunes
2) Use MetaX and Open Files (Choosing "Movie" as the type)
3) Save Change to Files
4) Load Files into iTunes
5) Change Media Type (it will stay as video even if podcast or itunes U is selected).

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

Kay,
If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header. If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

We bought a used Ipod Touch from a private party. We can download music when it's hooked up to the computer but can't download any games or songs by using the wifi. How can we change the password so we can do this?

You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.
Connect the iPod to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes.

How can I change the music format of my songs?

How can I change the format of songs in my computer so itunes will recognize them?
Music is recorded in my computer but itunes doesn´t seem to read it.

You know, its kind of weird. The songs where in a friends i-pod; that I uploaded into my computer using the instructions found in one of these forums. Then I downloaded the music into my i-pod and it was ok.
After a few months it occurred to me to consolidate my library. After consolidating my library; itunes can´t read about 7GB´s of music. I haven´t connected my ipod into my computer since then because I fear the music will be lost.
The music is stored in my computer, some of it I can listen with the windows media player. I just can´t get itunes to recognize it.
If I sync my ipod will I loose the 7GB of Music?

How can I change my Podcast from clean to explicit?

In looking at my podcast listing https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-side-project-live/id725198670?mt=2 I notice they're all listed as clean. That was true when we started the show, but over time, we started using a bit saltier language. How can I change this to explicit?

Your feed is at http://sideproject.radiofubar.com/?feed=podcast
It was constructed in WordPress and it is there that you will need to change the 'explicit' tag to 'yes' in the episodes which need it. I can't advise on exactly how to do this, you will need to look round the settings.
It's important that you do this ASAP because having explicit content when it's not flagged will get you removed sooner or later.
There is another point; you are not allowed explicit language in the title, subtitle or summary, whether the explicit tag is set or not, because people can see these without warning. There are a few cases of this - the subtitle for episode 111, for example. The title for episode 108 is borderline. I didn't spot any others - I've not looked at any of the summaries - but you would be advised to check for this.

I reorganised my music organisation totally in iTunes on my Mac (Lion). iTunes does not sync this new artist organisation to the iPod and many albums are divided over several artists. How can I change this?

I've called the Apple helpline. The only way to organise music on the iPod classic, is to use playlists. They themselves can be organised in playlist folders.

When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free. Any help you could offer would be great (-:

All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person?

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person? How can lots of content be loaded, so that no navigation is required, for hundreds of hours of enjoyment?
I wanted to create a single playlist with hundreds of hours of books and podcasts for my grandmother who is blind. Then I planned to use something like the app CarTunes which basically makes the touch screen simply a gigantic pause/play button for an already created playlist. This is perfect for a blind person. The problem: Apple no longer allows you to have a playlist with Audible Books and Podcasts. I have tried; but the podcasts and books are stripped from the playlist. It seems like all podcast and book players require navigation. (How aggravating!?)
Any help in creating hundreds of hours long spoken (selected between books and podcasts) audio content playlist for a blind person would be much appreciated!!!!

Well, good news and bad news. I found out how to tell iTunes that all my music videos are, in fact, actual "music videos" and categorize them as such. In the "Get Info" screen for a track, there is a dropdown selector where you can pick the "meta" type, such as "Music Video", "Home Video", "Movie", "TV Show", etc. This allows iTunes and iOS to think they are all music videos and play them in the same list.
Unfortunately, this is not compatable with my third party device, which is now refusing to play my music videos in a playlist and will only play them one at a time (in a single-track infinite loop no less). Very frustrating!
