How can I make songs shuffle in individual playlists..?

I want them to shuffle so when I burn them onto CD's they will be shuffled...but on the playlist, they are still organized into artists and albums. How can I make this stop?

Click on the empty header bar to the left of name. Now all songs should number up. From here you can drag them to any place you want them. Such as making the first song the 5th one and so on.
Post back if you need a better explanation.

  • How can I make an album from a playlist?

    How can I make an album from a playlist in iTunes? I still running Windows XP.

    In iTunes an album is any collection of songs with the same Album title and Album Artist, or the same Artist if Album Artist is blank, or marked as part of a compilation.

  • 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!

  • I want to remove my itunes library to a thumb make memory space - how can I make sure I keep all playlists and organizing intact?

    Do you mean a flash drive?  I don't know if I would trust one of those entirely.  Make sure you make a backup.
    Copy the entire iTunes folder to the flash drive.  Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the library on the flash drive.  If you forget to plug in the flash drive before starting iTunes in the future you will have to do the option start thing again.

  • How can I make my old purchases a playlist on my new computer?

    I just changed computers and have all of my music, however, my purchased music is showing in my main library where as it used to show as a playlist as well. How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song...I have over 3500 purchased. I have tried syncing purchaes from my I-pod but it does not put it into a playlist. Help!!

    They should go all back into the green Purchased playlist when you make another purchase.

    Make a Smart playlist and set it to Kind contains Purchased, then you won't have to drag any songs.
    I have over 3500 purchased
    Really?
    3500 purchased songs?

  • How can I make a mixed audio/video playlist?

    I would like to make a playlist of music videos. iTunes seems to consider "music videos" as a separate type than video files. The problem is that some of my music videos are detected by iTunes as formal "music videos" while others are detected as "movies". While I can add them all to the same playlist, I can only play the playlist as one of the two types, and it will ignore the files of the other type. For example, if I access the playlist through my music playlists on my iPhone, it will only play the music videos that iTunes thinks are actual "music videos" and will not play the ones that iTunes thinks are "movies". Same problem in the opposite direction if I play the playlist through the movie/video interface.
    How can I get them all to play together? They are ALL videos, and all in the same format (.mp4), so I'm not sure why iTunes is so confused.

  • How can I make my Shuffle stay in the Source list with Version 7??

    No longer in the IPOD options that I can see????

    Blackstar,
    Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, the Keep this iPod in the source list option does not exist in iTunes 7.
    So the first thing you will probably want to do is let Apple know your feelings on the matter by submitting the form on this support page .
    Done that? Okay then, so now you'll probably want to make the best of the situation by figuring out if there's any kind of workaround to deal with the matter.
    The best I can come up with is suggest that you create a playlist dedicated to your iPod shuffle which, for discussion's sake, we can call the Shuffle Playlist.
    Once you have created that playlist, when you connect your shuffle to your computer you can drag the Shuffle Playlist into your shuffle.
    After disconnecting the shuffle you can get to work on modifying the Shuffle Playlist for your next update.
    Note that you will have to manually clear the iPod shuffle's contents before putting a new Shuffle Playlist on it.

  • How can I automatically incorporate 'shuffle' into a playlist?

    I have a 20 GB IPOD full of music. I have playlists that I like to listen to 'shuffled' and then sometimes I like to listen to entire albums (from start to finish, not shuffled). I am tired of going to the IPOD settings and changing this each time.
    Is there a way to incorporate the 'shuffle' feature into the playlist itself?
    I know that I can do this in ITUNES - but it has no effect on my IPOD.
    Please help ... and ... if this is not a feature perhaps it's one that's worth adding

    "Is there a way to incorporate the 'shuffle' feature into the playlist itself?"
    Nope. Songs are either shuffled or they're not. There is no way of specifying playlist only.
    If you would like to see such a feature, suggest it here.

    Is a few clicks back and forth from the shuffle setting really so tiresome?

  • How can I move songs around in my playlist?

    I used to be able to press and drag but that doesn't seem to work anymore. Thx

    Bergsteiger,
    Open the playlist.  View > View Options, and set "Sort By" to "Manual Order."  Then you can drag songs up and down to order the playlist.

  • How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

    now keep tapping the circle on the left part of the exposed controls untill a one (1) appears...

  • How can I make it so that my songs don't go on her iPod and her songs ....

    Me and my mother just got iPods for christmas and hers was a U2 ipod and mine was a 30gb ipod. I have downloaded some songs and have imported some cds but my mother doesn't want those songs on her ipod. How can I make it so that my songs don't go on her iPod and her songs don't go on mine.Do i need to create another itunes?

    The computer can tell the difference between your two iPods. When you first plugged each one in, you named them and the computer recognizes each one as a separate disk.
    Now, when you plug in your iPod, and you are looking in iTunes at your iPod contents, you will see four buttons in the bottom right corner of iTunes - the first one is to display iPod options. Click on this, and under the music tab, select "Automatically update selected playlists only". Then, you scroll through your playlists and select only those you want to be transferred to your iPod. Your mother can do the same thing. Now you can each make your own playlists from the same music library, and only those songs you want to go onto your iPod will transfer when you plug it in. You can make the same selections for all the other options too (video, podcats. photos, etc), so that you only have to have what you want on each iPod.
    I have two iPods, a new 5g video iPod and an ancient 1g iPod, and have no problems syncing each of them with different playlists and options.

  • How can I make a song into my ringtone? I have a new iphone 3GS.

    How can I make a song my ringtone?

    Replace the m4a extension of a sound file with m4r.
    Or open m4a file in Quicktime, cut the bit you need,
    then just "save as",
    Then rename the .mov to m4r!
    Copy the m4r to itunes.
    Check ringtones are sync'd.
    And your done.

    Hey there! So I plugged in my ipod to my computer and it didn't show up where it normally does. I need to update my song list. How can I make it appear? It doesn't come up in iphoto either. A few days ago my sis plugged it into another computer but I don't know if she synched it to the other computer, and frankly, she won't remember. I have tried updating itunes, charging the ipod, restarting the ipod/computer, and the rest of what the apple site said to do. Ps I have the latest ipod touch
    I need help stat! Please help!

    I'd say your sister messed up and your iPod is toasted.
    Think about it...  She plugged it in to another computer, she doesn't remember what she did (yeah, right), and now your iPod is not being recognized by your computer... 
    Also take into consideration how old is your sister, and how much does she know about electronics?

    It does not look like this is possible with iTunes 11 (or 11.0.1).
