How do i play podcast in order

can anyone help me out.. im new to the whole podcasting thing but im loving it ok its just one problem ... being a noob to this try not to laugh ok but i cant seem to listen to my podcast in order from old to new i have a 5 gen ipod (black). is there anyway to have it play from oldest to newest also is there anyway to have them play back to back like your playlist thank you for the help... oh yea in itunes they are listed from old to new but i cant seem to list them in that order inside of the ipod... even if i cant let me know so i cant sleep at night lol

You are not the only one who experiences this. My iPod as well will display the newest content at the top and put the older content at the bottom. I have tried several methods so I just gave up. So try not to lose any more sleep over it. It's just one of those things;)

How to play podcasts in order, and how to pick up where I left off?

I have several music podcasts I listen to. I made Smart playlists for each, so the podcasts show up in Playlists. Two questions: How do I play them in order? And, after I pause after listening to one, how do I continue listening when I wish? With the previous generation (the one with video capabilities), I could highlight the Smart playlist in Playlists and click the "play" button...all podcasts would play in order. If I switched away from the podcast and listened to the radio or even a different podcast, my Nano would remember where I left off. I love the new Nano and its tiny size, but the podcast thing is driving me batty. Thank you for your help.

Okay, I'm a dork. I accidentally swiped my volume screen this morning, and discovered the answers to all of my questions.

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!

How do I download Podcasts in order of oldest date first?

I like to listen to Podcasts from the oldest episode to the most recent, but in spite of organising the itunes library 'oldest to newest' in the release date section, Podcasts still show the most recent episode first once synched with the iPod. As Podcasts automatically play the list from top to bottom you have to manually put every episode on. Any ideas?

Several of us Podcast fans would like to do this, but for some reason Apple doesn't appear to understand this. If playing them in release order (oldest to newest) automatically is possible (without playlists, see below), I've yet to see a post telling me how. But there is a solution - of sorts, that is to play one episode at a time without the next one starting ...

Yes, on the iPod Classic if you have *shuffle songs/albums* set to on, believe it or not, Podcasts will play one at a time then stop! You can then play episode two (for instance) and it will stop afterwards and not play episode one that you have already heard. Also, you can then play episodes out of sequence without the next one starting when you don't want it to.
SO, if Shuffle is off, when you play a Podcast (which has more than episode) the display will show (playing) 1 of X and will play all episodes until it reaches the end. But, if you go to the Settings menu and select *Shuffle Songs/Albums* , then play the same Podcast episode, the display will (should) say 1 of 1. When that episode finishes, the iPod will stop.
You can also select shuffle by pressing the select button while a song is playing and turning shuffle on here. However, note that if the iPod is not playing anything and you choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and then a Podcast, the iPod will play Podcasts as 1 of X!
I've just discovered this after many months of frustration and using my old 30Gb video which only ever plays Podcasts as 1 of 1!
Another option I have seen suggested, which you may prefer or use as well as mine, is to put episodes into a playlist in the order you want to hear them. To be honest, I don''t know if this works - I've never tried it because "play 1 of 1" is my preferred method as I usually don't have enough time to listen to another Podcast.

Shuffle will not play podcasts in order

I have downloaded a French Lesson podcast - which I found through iTunes. No matter how I import the lessons (i.e. directly from the library, or if I make a playlist for the lessons) the will NOT play in order on my iPod Shuffle. I DO have it switched to "play in order" - not shuffle songs. I have rearranged the lessons many times so that #1 on the playlist is Lesson 1, #2 is Lesson 2 and so on. But when I go to play them, the shuffle will start randomly on lesson 9 or 5 - even if I hold down the button to restart it at the beginning. So basically, I never know what lesson I'm in and it's very frustrating.
Can anyone help?

Following is just a default description which applies to most. There are many differences in how it actually works on specific systems, and all sorts of ways to futz with the system to try to make it work differently. Keeping in mind that YMMV:
a. Podcasts are one of the special classes in iTunes. The only sort possible with Podcasts in iTunes, as podcasts, is on release date. That's the only column you can click on to reorder things.
b. All else being equal, podcasts will only play on the iPS in the same order that they are ranked in iTunes itself.
c. By 'in iTunes' I mean in the Podcasts playlist. You can re-order things in pretty much whatever way you want to in playlists you create yourself, but that won't (in most cases) affect the play order.
As for some other things:
1) Podcasts won't play at all unless you're in the 'Play In Order' position. That doesn't have any actual meaning with its order or play, however.
2) You don't hold any button down to restart it at the beginning. A quick triple-click of the Play button does that.

How do I play podcasts at 2x speed

I recently played a podcast on my iPod nano and it was mysteriously at 2x speed. But the next time I played it it was at normal speed.
I would LOVE to listen at 2x speed, at least to one particular podcast (Taverncast, anyone? Could you speed it up, please?).
But I can't figure out whether there's a way to do it on purpose. Is there a way to play a podcast at 2x speed?
Thanks!

Items in a playlist will play continuously, so make a playlist named Rush and put all the podcast episodes in there. Arrange them in chronological order (instead of backward like the Podcast library does). Then play this list. All episodes will play, one after the other. This is how I always listen to podcasts because I like a variety of shows and alternating news, humor, music, etc.

How can I play podcasts so that they begin with oldest first and move up to more recent?

When I dowload podcasts on my ipod classic I can't listen to them right away and they accumulate. When I play them, they always play downwards, from more recent to older.
I want them to play from oldest to most recent in order. How can I make this happen?
Thanks

Is there a way to play podcasts in order?

Is there a way to sort podcast episodes so it plays from oldest to newest automatically, just as in iTunes? It's pretty irregular and a pain in the neck to have to hit the back button upon end of each episode, just to hear things in order.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I listen to several different podcasts at work and it was a pain to listen to them in sequence because they kept going down to the previous one but your suggestion works wonders and now I can listen to them in sequence without having to touch the iPod unless I want to pause it.
Thanks again for saving this old f@rt's sanity LOL

IPod shuffle 4th Gen. How to start playing podcast from the very beginning once again?

Hello to everybody in this forum,
I bought a new iPod shuffle 4th Gen music player for about two weeks ago. I love this device, it works great as well as it's sound quality amazes me after Windows Mobile 6.0 Phone, Transcend MP3 and even Samsung Galaxy Ace devices use experience. It's much better and it made me got used to podcasts feature I never tried before, But if I want to replay the very same podcast item from the very beginning - I simply don't know how to rewind it back. If I press next/prev buttons it doesn't help. The podcast itself starts to play at about 5 minutes before a podcast's end as if I were listened to the whole podcast continuously from the beginning of a podcast. A podcast appears to be divided into chapters and I don't understand how to switch chaprers. Even if I did, the amount of chapters is big and it's inconvenient to swith every chapter with prev button pressed. Shuffle's manual tells me nothing on how to get things work I want it to. Any help is appreciated.
Best regards, Alexander Chernyaev.

How to un-play podcast episode

I clicked something as I was mousing around with iTunes. One of my podcast episodes started to play. I never intentionally listen to media on my PC, so I stopped the play somehow (I forgot what I did to stop it). However, the podcast episode is now designated as "playing". I would like to un-designate the episode as "playing". How can this be done in iTunes?

I simply want the podcast to not have the speaker symbol beside it (see iTunes help on "symbols"), which means that it is playing (albeit paused). I also want the scrubber bar for the episode to go away from the top of the iTunes window.
Having started the episode playing it will register as part-played (half dot) as opposed to unplayed (full dot) unless you right/option click it and Mark as Unplayed.
To make the speaker icon and scrubber bar go away, having stopped playback, simply select an alternative source or playlist, then go back to the Podcast source.

Thanks tt2. There is no "Mark as Unplayed". I suspect that it is because the episode did not play to completion. However, selecting another playlist did make the speaker icon go away. Strangely, a full blue dot is shown rather than a half dot.

How do I play podcasts sequentialy and continously? (Bug/Feature?!)

My new 5th generation Nano plays one podcast, then stops.
I have to actively click on the menu to start a new one.
It is really annoying and dangerous on top of it.
If I am listening to a podcast from one source, lets say the economist, and driving in my car I have to click on this ** thing every 5-15 minutes..... this is totally insane!
I got the iPod because of the Apple's great reputation for usability but I guess I will have to look for alternatives since this issue seems to be around since ages: http://www.danandchoka.net/?p=50
Please tell me that people have come up with a "workable" fix which does not involved editing and creating some play lists all the time.

Not much good news here i'm afraid.
Why do all my iPods behave differently?

How do I play podcasts sequentialy?

My last Nano (3rd gen, 8 gig) played multiple podcasts from the same source (Example: NPR talk of the nation)one after the other. My new 5th generation Nano plays one podcast, then stops. I've tried making a playlist for my daily podcasts, but it won't sync up w/ my nano. Could this be a firmware issue? Any suggestions?
Message was edited by: Ginoma

I see that this thread has been classified as "answered" but the only option that was suggested (making a playlist for each podcast) is, to me at least, highly unsatisfactory.
If I have 7 podcasts to listen to by one content source, isn't it logical to expect that one could click the first one and expect them to move to the next "track" sequentially once it is finished? To give one example, I had 10 unplayed podcasts in one folder, each around 1 minute in length. The current firmware (version 1.0.2 for Nano 5G) forced me to click three or four times at the conclusion of each podcast to hear the next one. This seems counter-intuitive.
I would be very pleased to see this restored in a future firmware update.

How to play podcast continuously on the Apple TV

How to make ipod shuffle 4th to play podcast in normal order from old to new ones?

It plays only in crazy reverse order from new to old podcasts. I've looked through bunch of forums but didn't find adequate answers. Stupied Apple, it even doesn't have normal support......

The only way you can control the order of podcast episode playback is to put them on a playlist (in iTunes), in any desired order. Then, sync that playlist to the shuffle.
On the shuffle, set the power switch to the play-in-order (middle) position. Use VoiceOver to select that playlist. The podcast episodes should play in playlist order. Another advantage of this method is being able to "mix and match" pisodes from different podcasts on one continuous playlist.
You can set up the iPod's Podcasts screen in iTunes to select this playlist under Include Episodes from Playlists, which automatically synca changes you make to the playlist (in iTunes) to the shuffle, the next time the shuffle is connected.

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.
