How can I shuffle a playlist in itunes 11

Hey,
how can I shuffle a playlist in itunes 11 (really shuffle the songs in order to burn them on a cd - not to listen to them through the player).
Thanks!

So far I have not found a way to shuffle pre-burn either...only to play.
It is another one of those lovely user-friendly features that doesn't seem to exist in iTunes 11...which seems to have been an update which was a step back for many loyal iTunes users.  I sure wish I can use the previous, more intelligently designed version.

  • 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.

  • TA47831 How can I import a playlist to iTunes?

    An old article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47831) explained how to export an iTunes playlist to an .m3u file and reimport it.  This functionality no longer works with the newer version of iTunes (I'm running iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7).  This is presumably why the article has been retired and is no longer supported by Apple.
    If I export a playlist, change its name, then reimport the result is an empty playlist.  Here is an example of one of the lines from the .m3u file:
    #EXTINF:196,My Happiness - Ella Fitzgerald
    \\NEF\music\Ella Fitzgerald - 50 Classic Hits (disc 2)\Ella Fitzgerald - My Happiness.mp3
    As you can see my file is an mp3 on a remote server ("nef") and works perfectly well in the "Music" section of iTunes.
    What I really want to do is to import some playlists that have been generated elsewhere (for example using a script to identify all the US hits of the 1980s with the word "power" somewhere in the lyrics).  I figured the easiest way to do that would be to work out what format of playlist iTunes would be able to import and generate one of those, I was somewhat surprised to discover that iTunes can't even import a playlist it has just exported.

    Hi Steve,
    I was wondering this myself and a quick Google found your post here along with an Apple support article published three weeks ago. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1744?viewlocale=en_US
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i create a playlist in iTunes and have the playlist show up on iPhone 5

    I painstakingly spent a considerable amout of time creating a playlist in iTunes on Windows, and now when I sync my iPhone, and open the Music app, I do not see the playlist at all.  When I select 'On this device' in iTunes, I can see the playlist listed, but a large number of the songs are greyed out, and do not play in iTunes.  These are simply songs I selected from my iTunes library into an iTunes playlist, and I sync'ed my iPhone saying transfer only selected playlists, etc, and now the playlist does NOT show up on the iPhone.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I have no use for iTunes Match and know little about it - but do you not need a computer in order to subscribe to iTunes Match? From where would the OP upload his music?

  • How can I repeat a playlist on iTunes 12.0.1.26?

    Hello,
    I have struggles with being able to repeat a playlist since the iTunes update. I haven't been able to find the button that allows you to repeat a playlist. Not sure if it's in the open and I'm just stupid or if they actually changed it. Can someone let me know? Thanks so much and have a great day!

    You can access the repeat options if you right-click on the shuffle icon, or if menus are enabled you can use
    Controls > Repeat > Off | All | One.
    Once the control is visible you can click it to switch between states as before. If the control is turned to off it disappears on the next track change. In contrast the shuffle control remains visible whenever it is appropriate. Hopefully the next release will fix this.

  • How can i copy a playlist from itunes to a mp4 player without loosing the order of the tracks in the playlist?

    Hello again,
    I'm having problems transfering the playlists i've created from itunes to a mp4 player. It's not an ipod, and everytime i try to do this operation, the songs show up not by the order in the playlist but by alphabetical order. Is there any way to copy the playlist without loosing the order of the songs and directly, - i mean, without having to copy song by song to a folder in the mp4 player -, like it happens with the ipod? If so, how?
    Thank you for your time.

    I would consult the documentation of the mp4 player then.

  • How can I shuffle individual playlists?

    Can I set my iPod Classic (newest 160 GB model) to shuffle songs within an individual playlist? The "Shuffle Songs" setting only shuffles EVERYTHING!

    Try this.  Start playing a song in the playlist. T hen click the Center button 3 times.  This should activate the Shuffle feature as well, but it should only shuffle songs within that playlist.

  • How can I view multiple playlists in iTunes?

    In the old version of iTunes I could double-click and that would open the playlist in a new window so that it could be compared to another playlist etc. Is there a way to do this in the new version of iTunes?

  • How can I get a playlist created on my iPad to iTunes?

    I create a playlist on the iPad... I love it... I want it on the iPhones in my household.
    How can I get that playlist into iTunes, so I can push it out to the other iOS devices?
    When I sync the iPad with iTunes, the playlist created on the iPad is wiped out.
    All devices (iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad 2) are on iOS 5.0.1.
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
    iTunes 10.5.1.
    Thanks

    You can't move an iMovie project file and expect it to play.
    You need to export from the machine that holds the source files to the format supported by the device.

  • Can I shuffle two playlists at the same time?

    How can I shuffle two playlists at the same time?  Thank you.

    You can only connect to one site at a time.  And you need to edit files locally, save & then upload to the remote server.   AFAIK, no single FTP app is capable of connecting to more than one server at a time.  You might be able to do what you want with DW open and an additional 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla, each connecting to different servers.

  • How can I shuffle the order of songs in a playlist in iTunes 11?

    How can I shuffle the order of songs in a playlist in iTunes 11?

    Never mind, finally figured it out. All the advice says to click on the left-most column, but it's actually the second column from the left (the first one, in mky version of iTunes, is the album list.)

  • How can you shuffle songs in a playlist in itunes 11?

    You used to be able to create a playlist, shuffle it, then synch it to your ipod.  This was done easily with a shuffle button in the library.  In 11 that button is no longer there.  How can you do this now?

    Your question is clear, but you then go on to say something completely different. I've answered your question "how can (you) shuffle songs in a Playlist in iTunes 11".
    In Playlists, click on the "start playing in shuffle mode" icon (that I've ringed). And...
    In this next shot (the space you need to watch), you can see the Shuffle icon (ringed in larey lime) is blue, so it's "on", and I've also clicked on the "show me what's coming up next" icon (ringed in red).  Study the list of upcoming songs. It's the Playlist we're in, but shuffled:
    Hey presto!
    Now - if you actually mean something else, such as: "create the Playlist, adjust the order of the songs and then Sync it to the iPod"; then as before, you can drag songs within a Playlist to whatever order you want and Sync the Playlist - as before. I've no idea what the "button" you refer to, looked like. Can you explain?
