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.

    Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

    If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

  • Chp Play lists - how to play only one chapter at a time

    CS4
    The setup:
      2 timelines
      1 menu
      1 chapter playlist
      3 buttons (all, wedding, reception)
    I'm not seeing how to make the DVD return to the main menu after playing chp 1 (Button 2 [wedding]), if user clicks button 2 which is linked to chapter 1 thru a playlist on timeline 1.
    That is, I can set the end action of timeline 1, I can set the end action of the playlist, and I can set the end action of ch1 by way of the playlist panel.
    It appears ch1  wants its end action set to start playing chp2 (button 3 [reception]) to provide thru play if the `All' (button 1) has been used.
    How then can cause chapter one to be played and at the end return to main menu instead of going an to button 3 as It would if user had hit button 1.
    (all).
    What I end up with is a situation where if user wants to view only chapter 1 by hitting button 2 (wedding).... it still continues on to button 3 (reception) at the end.
    Since I needed this project done now... I took the hardway around and ground out another piece of video containing only chapter 1.
    Now I get the result I was after, but it seems very inefficient.  Ch1 on in the playlist is just setting there unused and I suspect there is a smarter way to do it.
    To cut down on the amont of data on the DVD, I guess I could have gone ahead and made a piece of video contaiing only ch 2 (button 3 [reception]).
    But still that too, although I've saved considerable data being written to DVD, it still seems pretty inefficient.   And I suspect the playlist is provided just so I don't have to do it this way.
    Can anyone outline how to deal with multiple chapters so that the DVD returns to the main menu after chp1 or any other chapter that has chpters following it. (If user so desires)?

    The chapter playlist will be one chapter, which you appear to have set up.
    Set the END ACTION of that CHAPTER PLAYLIST to last menu.
    Yes I have.  Are you saying that if I set the End action of ch_PlayList to last menu, that then when a user hits button 2 which is linked to chp1 on the playlist,  that play will stop after chp1 (button 2) has played?
    As apposed to what I have done as descripted... setting Ch_plylist end action to Main menu/default.
    In that setup pressing buttob2 ends up playing right thru the whole thing rather than stopping at the end of ch1.
    PS - I'm busily coping a project to a test area now, but how can test that without having to play clear thru chp1 to see what happens?
    OH Wait.. are you saying NOT to include chp2 in the playlist?.... ahhh now that makes sense.
    Thanks for the input.

  • How to open only one clip at a time in the source monitor?

    Ok the answer to this question may be simple.. hopefully...
    At the moment each time I open a clip in the source monitor it adds it to the dropdown list.
    Fine... but I am opening and closing hundreds of clips in a day and after a while I noticed it seemed to be slowing down the whole PPCS5.5 system.
    It appears that PP seems to be keeping each clip I open... active.
    Is there a way to allow only one clip to be open at a time in the source monitor... other than having to close them all first??? (would be ideal if there was some kind of shortcut like shift-doubleclick)

    SonyZ7's can record to compact flash cards as well as tape, so I generally log and transfer from the cards.
    So I guess I should do a bit more research on workflow's in Pr

  • How can i remove one song from a playlist on the iPod?

    I would like to remove a single song from a playlist.  When i connect to my laptop and click manually mangage music, i don't see an option for deleting a song.  I can click on the song, but delete does not work.  I also tried dragging to the trash, also unsuccessful.

    If you want to delete songs directly from the iPod, it needs to be set to Manually manage music on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  If you are using automatic syncing, you cannot delete songs directly from the iPod; instead, you update (remove songs from) the playlist(s) being synced to the iPod.
    If the iTunes sidebar (left side of iTunes window) is visible, select the iPod under the heading DEVICES.  If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under the iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, you see the list of songs currently on the iPod.  If the iPod is set to Manually manage music, you should be able to delete songs from that list.  Select the song (or set of songs) you want to delete, and press Delete on the keyboard.

  • Tv shows show up and play in itunes but only one episode makes it to ipod?

    My itunes purchased tv shows show up and play in itunes. As far as my ipod, only one episode will show up under tv shows. The other episodes don't show up under movies either. Can someone please help me? Strange that 1 of the episodes will show up on ipod but no others. They were all purchased on itunes.

    Check your sync preferences.
    There are now options to sync only watched / unwatched episodes, for example, which may be causing this.
    Connect the iPod.
    Wait for iTunes to recognize it.
    Click on the name of the iPod.
    You'll see your Summary page open up in front of you.
    Click on the tab for TV shows and set it how you want.
    Do this for all of the other tabs concerning file types you want on your iPod.
    Then, click the Apply button (lower right-hand corner)
    iTunes should now update your iPod preferences, and also the files on the iPod.

  • How can I link to only one track on an album in the iTunes store?

    I'm trying to link to a song and keep it seperate from the rest of the content on the album.  The link generator is giving me a link to the song but it still brings up the rest of the album too.  Is there anyway to isolate and link to only one track?  Thanks!

    Experience (of iPods) tells me that the 160GB Classic and the 120GB Classic are from the same "family" and should therefore behave the same way. (The nano is a different family and the Touch another family yet again.)
    So, since my 160GB Classic can play one episode at time, your 120GB Classic should too. To achieve this, turn on *shuffle songs/albums.* No, I'm not joking!
    With shuffle on the Podcasts will play one episode at time when you select an episode from the episode list. Be sure to turn on the shuffle from "within a song" or from the ettings menu. If you have shuffle displayed on the main menu and use that to start shuffling songs, it doesn't affect Podcasts. You will know it's set correctly because the display will show 1 of 1 instead of 1 of "X".

  • IPhone plays only one song at a time

    After 2 weeks of the iPod feature of my iPhone working just perfectly, last night I discovered it will no longer go through a play list. No matter what I do, it plays only one song, repeatedly - either a song I choose or a song selected randomly by hitting Shuffle. Shuffle only chooses the first song randomly, after which that song plays over and over unless I manually choose another. I deleted my playlists this morning, rebooted iTunes, re-synced my playlists to the iPhone, same problem. Other than having to go through an entire Restore, are there any other options? This actually occurred out of the blue, NOT after a re-sync with the computer, therefore NOT caused by the iTunes update to 7.3.1.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    THANK YOU!!! I never would have found that myself because I don't even look at albums let alone play whole albums. My playlists are favorite songs from here and there and rarely more than one or two from any particular album. I don't know how that got changed since I have never looked at an album before, didn't know there were time and shuffle markers. I must have gone bump in the dark... so thank you again!

    I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue.  On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
    With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting.  It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually.  Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
    This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast.  I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes.  It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds.  This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
    Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • IPhone plays only one playlist and won't others

    Hi guys,
    can anyone help me; I have my iPhone for so long time, always updated with latest version of software, but recently after latest update 3.1.3. iPod plays only one playlist and won't play any other. Also can't enter any other artist file or videos. When I try to, Ipod closes! The rest of phone works fine.
    Could it be problem with latest update? How can I reset latest update?
    Thanks!

    The latest update works fine for most people, but your's might not have been applied correctly for some reason.
    Try the standard troubleshooting steps in order:
    Restart your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset your phone: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • 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.
