How do I play one Podcast at a time?

My old IPod played one Podcast at a time. My new 160 Classic plays them continually. Is there a way to get my new IPod to play one Podcast at a tme?

Turn on *shuffle songs* and then start the Podcast episode you want. The display should say "1 of 1" because all Podcasts are set to *Skip on shuffle* so the one you're playing is the only option for the iPod.

  • IPhone 5. Prior to the iPhone 5, I could listen to podcasts one after the other without doing anything. Now it will only play one podcast at a time, then I have to click on the next one. Not a great feature when driving. TIA, Sarah

    How do I get it to just play through all the podcasts that I've downloaded just like my 1st gen?
    Group and order your podcasts to a playlist. Then play them from the playlist.

  • How do I play one album at a time by an artist?

    I have the newest generation ipod touch and i just downloaded the new iOS7.  I would like to play one album at a time by an artist for whom i have multiple albums, but the new design won't let me do it (easily that is).  For example, if I want to play "Surfer Rosa" by the Pixies, I tap on the first song and it show it is 1 or 58 songs, meaning it will continuously play through all the albums.  I want it to say 1 of 14 so it will stop playing after "Surfer Rosa" is done.  I've checked in general settings and music settings and I can't find anything to fix the issue.  Am I missing something?
    I have found one way to play one album at a time.  I click on the first song in the album, then tap the "3 dot 3 line" icon on the right, click on another song in the album, then click on the first song again, tap "done" and then it shows that I am playing 1 of 14 songs.  This seems like an elaborate fix for something as simple as wanting to play one album at a time.

  • How do I play one song at a time in Music on iPad

    First I DO NOT HAVE THE LITTLE SHUFFLE SYMBOL AND THE SHUFFLE IS NOT SELECTED in Songs on MY IPAD.  I have downloaded music from iTunes to my iPad in the Apple Music icon but all the songs seem to bunch together. I want to play one song at a time and NOT HAVE THE REST START PLAYING.

  • Can only play one podcast at a time

    Hi,
    I have just upgrade from a 3g iPod to a 5g. On the older iPod I could pick a podcast and it would play all the episodes one after another. Now it will only play one at a time and shows 1 of 1 in the display. I can see 5 episodes if I actually go into the playlist. My Nano does the samething.
    Is there a setting I am missing that can change this?
    Best wishes
    Michael

    Well now I'm doubly .
    Steve, did you try playing a Podcast episode in List view? I ask, because after Creydon's last post I  read, re-read and read it again to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Consequently I tried playing some Podcasts.
    The results are odd, even after re-booting my computer.
    In List view:
    Started a Podcast episode playing.
    Checked the Up Next list. It was empty - not what I expected, but I'll go with the flow.
    At the end of the episode, the following episode began playing. This makes no sense to me, if the list is empty, why does another episode begin? If this is expected behaviour, I did not realise that the Up Next only dealt with music, not Podcasts.
    Turned on Shuffle, then turned it off again before the episode finished.
    When this episode finished, a further Podcast began - at random! This also makes no sense, particularly as the Up Next was still empty. iTunes was in Shuffle mode, and was shuffling Podcasts!
    Turned Shuffle back on and this time, left it on.
    At the end of the episode, iTunes stopped. At last, expected behaviour!
    As I'm sure you are aware, by default iTunes sets all Podcasts to Skip when shuffling, so in Shuffle mode, once a Podcast finishes, since all the others are set to skip, iTunes should stop. But if Shuffle is turned on then off again, iTunes mistakenly plays Podcasts at random, even though Shuffle has been turned off! Surely, this is a bug?
    At least though, it is possible to make iTunes play one Podcast episode, then stop, (as I expected, so not a bug at this point!). Simply turn on Shuffle (and leave it on).

  • How do I play one album at a time?

    I want to play one album at a time by artists for whom I have multiple albums. I have the newest generation ipod touch. One album at a time used to be the default mode, but with the new operating system iOS7, this is no longer the case.  Here's an example - I want to play the Pixies "Surfer Rosa," but when i click on the first song, it says it's playing 1 of 58 songs continuously - I want it to stop playing after "Surfer Rosa," I want it to say it's playing 1 of 14 songs.  Is there a simple fix for this?  Something in general settings or music settings that I have overlooked?
    I have found one way to play just one album, but it seems a bit complicated for what should be a simple fix.  I click on the first song on Surfer Rosa, then click on the 3 dot 3 line icon in the upper right corner, then click on another song, then back to the first song, then click done, and now it says it's playing 1 of 14 songs.  It's nice to have found this way around the issue, but, it's a lot of steps for something that used to be the default mode.

    Do you really mean upload as in transferring the files to another computer somewhere, or do you mean you ripped as in ripping a CD to copy the music to your computer?
    Select the tracks you want to edit, Get Info on them, then enter the desired album name.

  • How do I play one podcast after another?

    Hello,
    I have iTunes 7.0.2 and I can't figure out how to play podcasts one after another ... like, when one podcast is done, to go on to play the next one. Any ideas?

    I think you can create a podcast playlist then drag episodes to it, and arrange them in the order you want to listen.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is there a way to play one podcast at a time on Nano 7G?

    Hi,
    On my Nano 5G the podcast playback used to stop at the end of each episode, now that I upgraded to 7G I noticed that the podcasts are played sequentially. Is there a way not to use this continuous playback?
    Thank you,

    summertothes
    Yes there is.
    Go to Applications -> Image Capture. In the preferences for this app you can se it to open when you connect a camera, and use it to copy one or more pic to your desktop. Then after, launch iPhoto and go File -> Import to Library

  • How to simply play one mp3 at a time without a playlist or duplicate file creation

    What's always baffled me about Itunes is the overkill factor for we who are media professionals and simply need
    to be able to select and playback an audio file - without the proprietary architecture of the whole "Playlist" format...
    and, as long as we're at it, without automatically having a duplicate of whatever is being played, created and placed
    in a new folder somewhere. 
    "Back in the day..."  I could take SoundJam - (actually the predecessor app that Itunes was originally based upon)
    --which i still regularly use for easy conversion of .aifs to .mp3s --  and select/play any number of mp3s located in a
    single file folder at random.  No "playlist" was created or needed -  and it didn't/doesn't dupe a copy of the file.
    Can i in any way scale down or customize Itunes in a way that i can just play each mp3 in a given folder by selecting
    it 'directly' and not have to have it generate a playlist "copy" -  My use for Itunes as far as commercial production is
    for quick review/play of sound elements, spots (commercials) audio clips, etc. For this I'm not looking to "order" or
    organize anything, just simply start/stop an audio cut and move to another. 
    Alternately, any suggestions on simpler practical alternative 3rd party apps... Stuff like "Vox" comes kinda close but
    i still have to drag and drop the icon of the audio file onto the app's icon to initiate play.  Still, at least it doesn't force
    me into a Playlist or generate a copy just by selecting and playing the cut.
    If this makes sense to anyone I'd really appreciate any ideas,
    Thanks!

  • Can't play more than one podcast at a time

    Hi folks,
    I recently updated my nano so that it would work with the Nike+ accelerometor, and now my podcast playlists only play one podcast and then returns to the root directory. (this problem occurred BEFORE I ever got the Nike doohickey)
    Now I need to press the center button in series to move forward to the playlist and play another podcast.
    I was able to play podcasts one after another before the recent update.
    Has anyone else experienced this and come up a with a workaround?
    I like listening to the Onion radio podcasts, and it is quite annoying to have to play each one.
    iMac G5 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thanks Sluggospud, but that didn't work for MY nano.
    I tried both solutions, and each time only a single entry plays, afterwhich the system returns to the root directory with "music" selected.
    I did notice something wierd. If I choose any album except podcast albums, I can click the play button and the album starts to play. If I click on the Onion Radio news "album", nothing happens.
    The only way I can get any onion podcast to play is to enter the album (or artist or playlist) and click play on a single entry.
    I had been able to play podcast playlists before the most recent iPod updater. I don't know if I need to do some secret reset to get podcasts to play properly.
    grrrrrrrr

  • Only Plays One Song at a Time ???

    I'm trying to listen to albums in my library but iTunes will only play one song at a time, very annoying to have to down arrow and click play after every song. How can I make iTunes play through my library without stopping?
    I'm using iTunes 10.1 (54) and YES all the songs are checked.
    Thanks~

    <SOLVED>
    I disabled the Ping drop-down from the Terminal with:
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes hide-ping-dropdown -bool TRUE
    and viola! Now my library plays without stopping after just one song. Not sure why this fixed my problem but it did? I guess it's just another reason to get rid of Ping!

  • ITunes 8.0 only Plays One Song at a Time, then Stops! AARGH!

    Someone, please help. I have tried everything I can think of, to no avail.
    For some reason, when I play a song in my Music Library on my laptop iTunes 8.0, it stops playing after each song. When the song ends, iTunes stops; it does not move to the next song in my library, it just stops. I have to click on the next song to play that song, and when that song is done it stops.
    I have tried creating Music Playlists, does not help. I have tried checking and unchecking the Repeat and Shuffle options, still nothing.
    This does not happen on my iPods, only when I play songs in my Music Library on iTunes from my laptop.
    If you have any suggestions for a solution, please tell me. I am beyond frustrated having to click on the next song every time.

    I have the same problem with iTunes only playing one track at a time. It didn't use to be this way ... and seems to have developed after one of the recent updates (late December 2008).
    I did, however, find that the problem was "solved" by checkmarking all the tracks that I expect to hear played. However, this won't work for me because ... as it has always been in the past ... I use these check boxes to tell iTunes which tracks to synchronize to my iPod. Since my desktop library is many times larger than can be loaded onto my iPod, I obviously cannot check all of the tracks.
    Since when did these check marks become **ALSO** a signal to tell iTunes what tracks to play continuously on iTunes?!?
    Previously, I have **ONLY** used these check-marks to signal to iTunes the tracks that should be synchronized to my iPod.
    If the foregoing advice (check-marking all songs to be played continuously on **iTunes** ... then it would appear that the programmers have introduced a conflict of functions in the iTunes user interface.
    The check-mark system is a simple and intuitive method to select which tracks to synchronize to the iPod ... it is not at all intuitive that you would be expected to check these **SAME** check-boxes to play tracks on the iTunes desktop.
    Generally, when listening to music at home on iTunes, I prefer to listen to albums as published from the first track to the last track. Occasionally, I may wish to shuffle tracks within an album or within a genre.
    However, when on the go, I sometimes shuffle music entirely. In any event, I cannot possibly download my entire library onto my iPod because of memory limitations.
    In conclusion, I do not wish to tamper with my check-marks ... I know, at any time, how much memory is currently in use on my iPod and so can add and/or delete check-boxes to adjust the tracks from my iTunes main library that are played on my iPod.
    Of course, then, I am massively frustrated that I cannot listen to albums continuously without messing-up my iPod library selections.
    This was never a problem before ... why has this behavior changed?
    This could, of course be resolved if the Apple development team added a command "Continuous Play" [On] or [Off] ... say under the [Controls] menu, logically placed above the "Shuffle" menu item.
    Comments?
    Does anyone on the Apple iTunes development team monitor this discussion?

  • ITunes will only play one song at a time, I can't select an album or artist and have it keep playing the next song.

    I just can't figure out how to keep itunes going.  It plays one song at a time and will not go on to the next.  Do I need to change a setting or something?

    At a guess you've somehow managed to uncheck the entire library. Select the Songs view, the CTRL+click an empty checkbox. All boxes should become checked. If you don't see the checkboxes use Edit > Preferences to enable them.

  • My iPod only plays one song at a time

    I don't store any music on my iPod - only music videos. They all play fine, and they're stored as properly tagged music video files under Menu->Videos->Music Videos. After I first synced them from my PC, I noticed that they also all appear under Menu->Music as songs. I can play them all just fine, either by selecting one through Menu->Videos (in which case it plays as a video) or by selecting one though Menu->Music, in which case it plays as a regular song with a little picture displayed instead of the video.
    So far, so good.
    The only problem is, I can only play one song at a time. I navigate through the menu, select either a song or a video, and the iPod will play that just fine, get to the end, and then bring up the menu again.
    How can I get it to play the one I select, and then just play other random songs? It makes no difference whether or not 'shuffle' is selected, it still only plays one then stops. Also, putting the songs in a playlist doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    Are you sure you don't have Shuffle on? There are a couple of ways to Shuffle on a 5th Gen. iPod. You can't simply choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and shuffle the entire library...or you can go to Settings > Shuffle and choose Songs or Albums and apply that to any playlist you select. The behavior you describe is what happens when Shuffle is turned on and items are set to Skip When Shuffling (an option found on the tracks under Get Info). If Shuffle is on, you should see the little green crossed arrows in the upper right of the iPod window.
