How to exclude songs from shuffle on multiple devices?

Hi - I just successfully excluded Chirstmas songs from the list of songs that play during 'shuffle' on my work computer by using 'Get info' and 'options' (thanks to this support community - thanks!).  Now, how do I make this apply to my other devices that aren't computers (iPod, iPod nano)?  If I plug the other devices into my work computer and accept whatever syncing options pop up, will that do it?  I just want to be able to shuffle without hearing 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' in June.  Thanks for any help.

I would use playlists for this, and then shuffle the playlist not, the whole collection of songs...
I also use the recommendations of this blog to shuffle through my mp3 colleciton (since it is larger than what the ipod can store.

Smart lists are a Godsend. I use it to set playlists with only my music (my wife's music is also int he same library). It justs works...

  • Excluding songs from shuffle, but including in playlists

    Is is possible to exclue a song from shuffle mode, yet have it still play in a playlist?
    I believe this used to be possible, but I'm unable to do so recently.
    Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

    Jeff, thank you for your reply. I am aware of how to skip songs while shuffling. Let me try to explain my issue another way.
    I have assorted Beethoven, Mozart, other classical music on my ipod. About 50 songs or so. I have deselected them from playing in shuffle mode.
    However, I have put them in a separate playlist "classical music" so if the mood should strike, I can listen to them. When I select the "classical music" playlist, it only shows the first song in the list, and now playing 1 of 1, then abuptly stops, even though there are 50 songs in that playlist.
    I imagine it is doing this because I have taken them out of shuffle?

  • Excluding songs from shuffle mode

    I enjoy listening to my library in the shuffle mode but am having trouble removing certain items (itrip stations, my 14 month old daughter's baby einstein music, etc.) from the shuffle. The library is too large to create a smart playlist. I have attempted the -get info, options, skip when shuffling route-for every unwanted selection but the songs and stations still appear in the shuffle mode. Is there a way to accomplish this without unchecking the songs? I have searched every tutorial and exhausted all of my support help. Thanks.

    I have gone in under info, options, skip when shuffling for each song and updated the ipod afterward but the skipped songs keep getting into the shuffle. I'm not sure how to skip songs on the ipod itself as you suggested, I'll look into it. Thanks for your time and input.

  • How to burn song from Shuffle onto disc

    How do I burn a song from my Shuffle onto a disc?

    You can't burn a song that is on a shuffle to a disc.  Find the song that is on the shuffle in your iTunes Music library.
    Create a new playlist in iTunes.
    NOTE:  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, selectShow Sidebar.  Click the plus sign at the bottom of the sidebar, to create a new playlist.
    Drag that song to the new playlist in the sidebar, or right-click on song and Add to Playlist...  Add any other songs you want to burn to disc.
    In the sidebar, select the playlist.  The order of songs on the playlist will be the track order on the disc (if you are burning an Audio CD).  Drag songs on list to change order. 
    Right-click on playlist, and select Burn Playlist to Disc. 

  • Exclude songs from shuffle on iPod Nano?

    Hi,
    Does anuyone know if it's possible to exclude certain tracks from playing when I choose to shuufle the tracks on my nano?
    I have 80 tracks by one sratis (all spoken word) which I don't want to hear when i shuffle the tracks.
    Thanks

    If you put the tracks you want to hear in a playlist, and then go into that playlist, you can set the iPod to only shuffle within that playlist. To do this, start playing within that playlist, but don't use the shuffle on the main menu, use the one in settings and it will keep you inside your current playlist, album, artist, etc.

  • Can you download songs from itunes on multiple devices?

    I used itunes for some time but stopped several years ago.  I never really had a lot of music, so when my HDD crashed about a year ago I didn't worry about it and thought everything was lost forever.
    I recently purchased an iPad and iPhone and when I logged in lo and behold everything was there waiting to be downloaded - this is a far cry from what I remember, when if you lost something that was it, no second chances to download.  I distinctly remember a headache due to a glitch where songs would show as purchased but failed to download, and I couldn't download them without paying again.
    I guess something changed, correct?  Or if I download everything to my devices will I get hit with charges for everything once again?

    Redownloading is a new capability of iTunes that was introduced when iCloud came around.  Nice, huh?  For more details see:

  • Preclude songs from shuffling

    I previously found a setting to preclude certain songs from shuffling (i.e. when i'm shuffling the library, i don't want Christmas songs to play). Can someone remind me how to do this again...thanks in advance...j

    OK, I also don't want Christmas music playing in the normal shuffle rotation, but if I disable the shuffle, then when I try to listen to my Christmas Play List, the songs won't shuffle...
    Is there a way to only have songs shuffle within a Play List, but NOT have them as part of the standard shuffle?

    You can't without a third party app. If you didn't purchase the Music with your Apple ID or if the music was imported from CD's on your friends iTunes library, syncing will not work ....nor will transferring purchases.
    Look at this app .... TouchCopy

    how to transfer songs from iPhone to mac

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases from the phone to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites and/or copied from other sites, then if you haven't got a copy of them on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the phone.
