How do I play only 1 podcast?

When I listen to a podcast from a list I would like my iphone to stop at the end of the selected podcast. Currently it moves on to the next one in the list, can I stop it from doing this?

I should have thought it made more logical sense for items that were to be played in sequence to be included in a playlist, after all, that's what a list of things to be played is. The contents of a playlist are controlled, but podcasts just appear according to the subscription and synchronisation rules. The podcasts I subscribe to tend to be forty to sixty minutes in length, and usually one at a time is all I want to listen to.
My wife has motor neurone disease. The iPod iTouch has been a godsend for her, because she can listen to her favourite music and sports podcasts (she is a lifelong sports enthusiast) using the two fingers that she can still move. Like me, she prefers to listen to one podcast at a time. However, it's quite a bit of effort for her to lift the iTouch and tap off the next podcast when it starts, especially when she's just about to drift off to sleep. (It's remarkable how many people save their favourite podcast for listening to last thing at night!)
If there were a configuration in the Settings area which could turn this sequential play feature on and off, that would be excellent, and satisfy everybody. If Apple are listening, perhaps this could be included in the next dot-release of iPhone 2 firmware.

  • Easy Question! How Do I Play ONLY the Selection, and then playback stops?

    How Do I Play ONLY the Selection, and then playback stops? (Same as subject..)
    Thanks! I'm loving STP so far. I came from Sony Sound Forge so it's been difficult finding something that can compare, but I think I have it now! Lot's of advantages for STP too.

    I think you're confusing the audio loops with MIDI loops. The blue loops are audio loops which will play only on audio tracks. You can't 'play' those with a keyboard because they are actual audio files. The green loops contain MIDI data that corresponds with a software instrument, and if you drop them onto a Software Instrument track, they will open that instrument which you CAN play with an external keyboard or the caps lock keyboard.
    I might be missing some loops, but when I searched for Bell Tower I found only one, and it is a blue loop. So it can only be played as an audio loop on an audio track. However, if it were a green loop, you would NOT drop it on an external MIDI track (I think that's what you're trying to do if you're dragging it onto the 'Grand Piano MIDI instrument'), but you would create a SOFTWARE INSTRUMENT track, and drag it on that. Any internal sounds you want to play from Logic's instrument you'll do from Software Instrument tracks, and not MIDI tracks.
    What you should do to find a good chime sound that you can play with the caps lock keyboard is to create a Software Instrument Track, open the Library tab, and search there for a good chime. This will search all of the instruments and presets that Logic has for all of its internal instruments. Try 'Tubular Bells' and see if that works for you.
    If you need to use the bells from that loop, do what SC suggested, and take the hits from the audio file and load them into a sampler. Then you can play them the way you want to. If you don't know how to make a sampler, it's a bit complicated. Look up EXS24 in the manual, or check out

  • 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.

  • HT5295 How do I play video podcasts on my TV via the Podcasts app? After iOS 6 upgrade, I'm unable to do this.

    I used to be able to play video podcasts on my TV by connecting my iPod touch to the TV via an Apple AV cable.  Now that I've upgraded to ios 6 and the podcasts app got installed along with the upgrade, video podcasts will no longer play on my TV.  It should be noted that other video content (movies, TV shows, etc) will play properly.  Is there a setting I need to make that will fix this, or is this yet another bug with the podcasts app? Also, I have to say that I'm not happy at all with the Podcasts app, so if there's a way to uninstall it without harming the functionality of ios 6, that would be great. 

    I found a workaround that puts podcasts back in the video app as well as the music app so you can watch them on TV via an AV cable again.
    The instructions can be found at this video:

    In short:
    1. Make sure both the music and podcast app aren't running on your iPhone.
    2. Plug your iPhone into your computer and disable Podcast syncing for your iPhone in iTunes.
    3. Remove the podcast app from your iPhone
    4. Plug your iPhone into your computer again and turn on podcast syncing, then sync.
    5. Turn off and then back on your iPhone.
    After I did this, I found podcasts had returned to being listed in my music and video apps.
    Hope this helps you too!

Or is the Podcast app for some reason designed so that you are unable to output a signal via the AV cable when playing back video content (this would be a pretty bad decision on apple's part).  Also, I have to say that I'm not happy at all with the Podcasts app, so if there's a way to uninstall it without harming the functionality of ios 6, that would be great.

  • 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.

  • How can I play only part of a song (stop the song short) during a slideshow in iphoto and fade into the next song?

    I am making a slideshow and I only want to play half of one song and fade into the next. How can I do this?

    You need an slideshow app that gives you more control over the Soundtrack.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price:  PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express  $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.  However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • TA24477 how do I play a podcast on my itouch

    I transferred podcasts to my itouch, but there seems to be on control to play it on the ipod. 
    Where is it?

    If it's a third to fifth generation iPod nano, just sync it with iTunes. If not, you can't.

  • Play only part of a video and set seek bar accordingly

    Is there a way to load and play clips from a larger video with FLVplayback in Flash CC AS3?
    For example, if my flv video is 5 minutes long and has 10 cuepoints, how do I play only from cuepoint x to cuepoint y?
    ALSO, I would like the seekbar handle to go to 0% at cuepoint x, and at 100% rest at cuepoint y. This way, the user can only seek through the current clip.
    This will let me load the video one time, and then use different parts of it as needed.
    I thought I had found a reference to flvplayback play() method that had a start parameter, but could not find examples.
    System: Windows 7, Adobe CC.
    Thanks.

    you can use the seek method to start play from cp x.  unless you're using a streaming server likefms or redhat, you must wait until the video has loaded up to cp x.
    you can use a cp listener to check when cp y has been reached.
    you can control the seekbar if you make your own.  ie, you can't use the flvplayback seekbar.

  • Playing Only One Song

    How do I play only one song on my iPod, then stop without automatically going to the next song? I can't find a setting and not sure how to do it.
    I play in a small band and have loaded recorded audio backing tracks into the iPod. I want to be able to play the song (i.e., backing track), then stop when it is finished without automatically going to the next song.

    Thanks. I knew I could create a playlist with one song in it. However, when on stage that will take too much time between playing individual songs. Unless, I set up a single song playlist for each song, of which there are hundreds that we do.
    I was hoping I could find a setting that would allow me to play a single song directly from the Library.

  • How to play only one episode of a podcast on the iPod Classic 120GB?

    With my previous iPod-- the 60GB iPod Photo-- I could play only one episode of a podcast. I would scroll to "Podcasts" on the main menu, find the name of the podcast I wanted to hear, click on an episode and only that one would play. If I wanted to listen to all the episodes of that particular podcast, I'd access it through the Playlist feature.
    The system above for playing a single episode doesn't seem to work on the iPod Classic 120 GB. All the episodes play no matter how I access the podcast.
    What am I overlooking?
    Thanks.

    I must have had the Shuffle setting turned on for the old iPod, but I forgot all about that.
    Probably not! My 30GB video iPod will only play one Podcast episode at a time and this does not change by using shuffle. I think your 60Gb iPod was the same as the 30GB.
    As S_Edwards has posted and as you have found, the Classic does use shuffle to alter the way Podcasts are played. Quite why Apple use shuffle to control single or continuous playing of Podcasts, and then not document it either, is a mystery.
    As a useful reminder, while the Podcast is playing, the screen display will show 1 of 1 to denote single-episode mode or 1 of x to denote continuous-episode mode.

  • HT1689 How can I play podcasts on my iphone without using data?

    How can I play podcasts on my iphone without using data?

    I used to sync my podcasts to my phone individually, but found out that the Podcast app works better for me.  It continously downloads the podcasts (not really sure when, that's the only thing, when its downloading it may use data depending on where you are) and also deletes the ones i have listened to.  Hopefully that will help you out!
