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.)

    I have shuffle  turned off. Seems like it shoudl be the simplest thing in the world to do, but I can't click and drag songs to change the order.

  • How can I change the order of songs in a smart playlist?

    Hi there,
    I have a question about smart playlists.
    I have a smart playlist where all songs rated 5 stars are ordered in descending order, meaning the latest additions first. That works well in iTunes and I can rearrange the songs there without a problem.
    But when I start the iPod on my iPhone the order of songs in this playlist is always the same. In my case the latest songs are always put last no matter how I sort the songs in iTunes. I tried to delete and create a new smart playlist but the result is always the same.
    Is there a solution?
    Thanks for your answers....

  • Ipad2, iOS 8.1.2, how do I change the order of songs in my Playlists?

    I Have an iPad 2, using iOS 8.1.2. i can't seem to change the order of songs in my Playlists in the Music App. I've clicked on Edit, and tried moving the 3 lines on the right up/down, but when I press Done, the changes have not been affected. Can anyone advise, please? I'm sure I'm missing something!

    It sounds like you are doing it correctly. That method works for me in iOS 8.1.2
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iDevice?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • How can I add the lyrics for songs in MP3 format in iTunes for Windows? There is even no the 'Lyrics' tab in the 'Get Info'.

    This topic may be old for you, but I searched everywhere on internet and there's still no solution. I even called the Apple Support and the contact support is taking so long to answer... I can't add the lyrics for songs in MP3 format in my iTunes 11.1.3 for my Windows 8.1, I clicked right at the song in my iTunes library, clicked 'Get Info', and there's no 'Lyrics' tab there. I tried several lyrics-adder programs but they just won't work. How can I add lyrics for my MP3 songs then?

    You may find that the file is Read-only, which means that it cannot be altered.
    However, you can change the Read-only in "Properties" using your file manager.
    1. The location (for the next step) of a song is found by looking n the Get Info/Summary>Where: of each song. Make a note of the location.
    2. Go to the location (on your computer) of the song, right-click it and the last item on the pop-up menu is Properties. Go into Properties/General>Atributes and turn off the tick in the box named Read-only. Now go back to your iTunes Library and try that song again. The Lyrics tab should now be there.

  • How can I customize the order of songs in an itunes playlist

    I'd like to be able to control the order of the songs entirely, not by using Artist Name, Album Name, Most Played, or any other prefab filter. Is there a way to do this?

    Hi ed2345! Thanks for the precise and clear directions! Regrettably, they didn't work for me. Sequence:
    1. I clicked at the top of Column 1 (play order).
    2. Triangle appeared.
    3. I click and drag on a song.
    4. A ghost-like image of the text in that row follows my cursor where I try to put the song. I try to put it in the body of the list, then I try to put it at the end of the list. Both times, when I release the button on the mouse . . .
    5. . . .  the image of the text in that row returns to its initial place.
    I'm trying to imagine what could interfere with this operation, but am drawing a blank. More UX fun!

  • How do I change the order of songs in a playlist?

    I know that I used to be able to drag songs to a different order in my iTunes playlists, but tonight, no matter the order that I add the songs to the playlist, or Smart Playlist, the order of the songs is alphabetically arranged, and the only other option is to click on "name" but then it just does reverse alphabetical order.
    Is something different, in a recent iTunes upgrade?  I'm a music teacher and I am trying to put the songs in the order that my students will be performing them next week, so this is driving me crazy tonight!!!!
    Thanks so much for sharing wisdom on what I am doing wrong!

    Do you have other choice selected in "View Options"?  Try turning on columns for album, artist, etc. if they aren't on and see if you can sort by those.  The other thing to try is to make sure you are viewing by List, not cover flow or another choice.  iTunes selects Album Artist by default and that can really make it hard to get things to group properly.

  • How do I change the order of songs in my playlists?

    It used to be a simple as click and drag, but now it's seems impossible.  I'm really frustrated with the is dang machine to the point of putting a coffee cup through it and buying a pc.  I'm running iTunes 11.4

    Hello there bcourtney,
    If the track you are dragging will not stay in the place you are trying to drag it to and seems to snap back, it seems to me that the playlist this is happening on is a Smart Playlist, rather than a standared Playlist. The standard playlist can be sorted in this way in iTunes 11:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Create a playlist
    Edit a playlist
    Select the playlist and do any of the following:
    Drag the songs into the order you want. If you can’t drag a song, click the column heading above the numbers.
    Looking at the Smart Playlist article it does not have that same drag and drop sorting function.

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • How do I re-arrange order of songs in a playlist in itunes 10.3.1?

    Just had a technician tune up my iMac yesterday and apparently he upgraded itunes to version 10.3.1. I just tried to re-arrange a playlist song order and I couldn't do it by trying to drag a song to a different order slot in the list. Can anyone explain how to do it please?  Thanks!  Allison

    Allison, open the playlist and do two things:  (1) Click above the column of numbers, so that a little triangle appears there.  (2)  Make sure Shuffle (the two crossing arrows at the lower left) is turned off.
    Then you will be able to drag songs up or down in the playlist.

  • How can I reverse the order of songs in library?

    Whenever I import my albums into iTunes, they are always automatically arranged in reverse order. The only way i've found to change it is to right click on each track and go into Get Info>Info>Track numberof and basically change every track manually. How annoying. There must be an easier way?

    Maybe if I show you Pictures you will understand better. I thought you was talking about a playlist, I see what your talking about now. Put the CD in (Im using an old album CD for this) and you should see something like this

    Now Hit the blank header where its lighted blue and shows an up arrow http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1NyHmLpVlK4Ecwk2TR6jNMI9v0bXi And it should now be pointed down like this http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1yZikneRBsNZ2YZe6HbeJYYVBzSX

  • How to change the order of songs in a playlist?

    The order of songs in a playlist on ITunes is different than the order of songs on my IpodNano 7th Gen -- how can I get them to be the same?

    I think so. I have "Music" selected from the drop down menu, and I have "Playlists" selected from the top row of choices. The title of the playlist is in a header row with the number of songs (26) and playing time. The first column is the one that shows the numbers assigned to each song.
    I have tried selecting "Edit Playlist" thinking that might be where I should go to fix this, but I can't drag or drop there either.
    Any other ideas???

  • How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    Hello Pokerplayer62,
    In order to update the order of items in your playlists on the iPod Nano, you have to update them on the computer, and then sync the updated playlists to your device.
    From the iPod Nano User guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_us/ipod_nano_features_guide.pdf
    To set iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with selected playlists:
    Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. Click the Options button and click Music.
    Select “Automatically update selected playlists only.” Select the playlists you want.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • 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.
