How can I play all albums of a same genre in shuffle mode?
Since I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOs 7, I can't play all my albums of a same genre in shuffle mode like I used to do with iOs 6.
The Touch will only play Albums in the correct track order when you select an album, but then it will only play that one album.
If you want to play multiple Albums in their correct track order, your options are to either:
1- Make a playlist in iTunes that is sorted by Album (or Album by Artist), sync the playlist to the Touch, and play the playlist with Shuffle turned OFF, or
2- Make an On The Go playlist on the Touch by adding one Album at a time and play it with Shuffle turned OFF, or
3- Look for the free app called "Album Mixer" which gives you the "Album Shuffle" capability found on other iPods -- i.e. the playback is by Album in normal track order, then when the Album completes it will jump to track #1 of a randomly-selected Album and play that one in track order.

How can I play all the songs in one genre in iOS7's music app?
Suppose you want to listen to only blues music. In the music app in iOS 7 I can't find a way to select all the songs from one genre. When you select "genre" it takes you to a list of artist in that genre but there's no way to select all the songs. In previous iOS all you had to do was select "all artist" and then "play all songs". In iOS 7 I can't seem to find that option. I've tried using Siri but if the genre of music you have is not in English then Siri won't understand. Also Siri only works if it's connected to a network. What if your not connected and you want to listen to just Blues. Is this option not in the music app in iOS 7 or am I over looking something?
Found the workaround... you are correct, this option was available in prior versions and now it is not.
In any Music app view scroll to the top to unveil the search box.
Search for your genre.
Search results will show all artists matching your query, and if you scroll above that there is a 'Shuffle All Songs' option. -
When importing songs of a same album but different artist iTunes will separate the artists. How can I bring all together in the same album?
Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

I have three different listings for Bob Seger on my iPod (Bob Seger, Bob Seger System and Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band) How can I put all 3 in the same artist folder without changing artist name?
Can you just create a new "Playlist", name it Bob Seger and drag what you want into the Playlist.

How can I play songs from an album in order on my iphone 4? The shyuffle is turned off both on the phone and on the device when I sync the phone with my iMac but it continues to shuffle. All the songs in the album have been checked in iTunes.
Bill, you ignorant moron. Turn off the ultra secret hidden shuffle diabolically placed behind the album cover. Just tap the album cover to expose the sinister little shuffle icon on the right. Is it blue? Well, tap it until it is no longer blue! Also, make sure you are in your playlist and not the genius playlist.
Hope this helps! Now, who's ready for ice cream? Or do you want to "shyuffle" some more, you weirdo?!? -
How can I play all songs from a genre in the new iOS 7
I used to select a genre in my music and played all songs randomly, now when I open a genre I can only play an album, not all the songs from a genre
Actually, JinKL, doing a search from "Songs" is harder to do and does not give the exact same result. It's harder to do because I have to key an artist's name rather than pick one from a list. The results aren't the same for several reasons. If you key an artist name that matches a song, you get that song, too. OK, that doesn't happen THAT much, but it does happen. And if I key a partial name, say "Morrison" for "Van Morrison", I get all the songs on "Morrison Hotel" by the Doors.
"All Songs" should be added to the iPad music player. While they're at it, they should add column titles and allow allow sorting on the column values. -

How can i get all albums to appear in the artist list
Not all of my albums for a particular artist appear in the artist list. How can I correct this?
Hi spike1954,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first check the Song Info associated with the albums that are not displaying correctly. See this article for the details:
Playing and managing content in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1399
Editing and arranging content
Editing Info
Each audio or video file in iTunes has several settings and tags that can be easily modified. These options can be accessed by selecting any file in the iTunes browser windows and selecting "Get Info" from the File menu. You can add song lyrics, artwork and set special playback options. The "Info" tab lets you edit information about the file including artist and album info.
Additionally, while this article refers to a previous version of iTunes, the information within can still be helpful:

How can I kepp all songs on the same album?
Some of my albums that have duets on them will show up as multiple albums when they were ripped from the same CD. Is there a way to make them all under the same album cover. I also have some artists that under an artist search will show up with multiple different headings of the same artist. I'm using the Ipod on a Kenwood car head unit.
I add it to the title as I've described, i.e. *Title \[Feat. Guest\]*. This means that all the information is still visible when playing the track in iTunes or on the iPod and can also be used when searching.
To fix things I set my library up in List view with the browser turned on and the columns arranged so that I could see both Artist & Album Artist. I then selected the first album in Album section of the browser to show it's tracks. Pressing the down arrow on the keyboard shows the next album. A brief glance will reveal if some tracks of the album have different artist values, in which case these can be fixed before moving on to the next album. It should take less than a second per album to confirm that it is properly formatted as your eyes will rapidly notice any inconsistency in the artist column. The process is only time consuming when you actually need to make some changes.
If two different artists have albums with the same album title, e.g. Greatest Hits, this also shows up when working methodically through this list. I've chosen to rename the albums in the form *Album - Artist* as this separates the albums, makes it clear in the browser which album is which and puts them in artist order. Another approach is adding different numbers of trailing spaces for each different album.

How can I play all the songs on a CD in their correct order?
Hi,
I just bought my iPod Touch, and it seems that it can only play songs in shuffle mode. I like to play my CD's from start to finish, with the songs in the order that they are on the CD. I can't believe that there's no way to do this... I must be missing something. Can any of you wise Touch users show me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help.Hi there - don't know what is happening on your Touch as it does play albums in order - when you click on an album to play it, the very first option is shuffle - make sure you do not click on this - but click on the first track name.
If you have clicked on it once - it seems to stay on - to solve/check this - click on a song, and wait for the cover to come into view. On the top bar, on the right hand side while the song is playing - you will see the little shuffle icon (arrows crossing). If this is blue then shuffle is selected. Click on it to turn it off (white). Now go back to the album lists and all should be in order?
Let us know if this works.

How can I kill all Threads of the same class from within the run() method?
Ok
I have a class called Consumer that extends Thread
I have several Consumer threans running... but, when a certain condition is true (within the run() method) in ANY of the threads, I want to kill ALL the threads of that object.
is this possible?I know this is gonna be too demanding, but can someone please tell me why my Consumer's run() method never reaches the System.out.println( "ALL CONSUMING DONE") line
Create a multi-threaded prime number calculator that is based on the producer-consumer model
using semaphores. Your program should be able to check for prime numbers in a range specified
by the user and with a variable number of threads. Example:
$ java PrimeFind 3 5000 10000
should use 1 producer and 2 consumers (3 threads in total, obviously the minimum is 2) to find all
the prime numbers in the range [5000,10000].
The producer should: use a buffer to store candidate numbers that have to be checked for
primality.
Consumers should: read from the buffer, check if a number is prime and update the status of the
program accordingly (e.g. show the number on the screen, or save it to a file)

How can I play all the songs on an album in my wish list?

Hi there - don't know what is happening on your Touch as it does play albums in order - when you click on an album to play it, the very first option is shuffle - make sure you do not click on this - but click on the first track name.
If you have clicked on it once - it seems to stay on - to solve/check this - click on a song, and wait for the cover to come into view. On the top bar, on the right hand side while the song is playing - you will see the little shuffle icon (arrows crossing). If this is blue then shuffle is selected.
