IOS7 Problem: Music App: Shuffle Through 1 Genre

Hello,
I used to play one genre and play all artists in that genre and shuffle songs. I can't seem to figure out how to do this in iOS7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't understand why they would take that feature off. I'm sure they'll put it back on once they realize the multitude of people that are complaining about missing options. I found a easier way to shuffle a genre instead of asking Siri. I'm Hispanic and Siri doesn't always understand what I'm trying to say when I say to shuffle "salsa" for example. But anyway, all you have to do is go to Artists..in the search bar type in the name of the genre and it should pop up as a "genre (1)" with the name of the genre underneath. Then you just click it, and on top it should say shuffle all songs and voila! Hopefully this helps.

  • Music App shuffle option doesn't work

    Stats: iPad 1, iOS 5.0.1
    Music App shuffle option doesn't work.  I have already reset the iPad, removed all my music and resynched.  Shuffle button is selectable, but just plays the songs in alphabetical order, even if I try to skip to another song or start anywhere on my playlist.
    So far this version of music player for apple product is disappointing, the iTunes app before never had these issues.  There are some serious bugs in this Music app, Apple your comback success was largely because of iPods and iTunes, so music is a big part of Apple users use, please fix this.

    Hello,
    Yes I believe this is a known bug in Firefox OS v1.0. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883781 Bug 883781].
    The bug is marked as resolved in Firefox OS v1.1. Once ZTE update the Open to v1.1 the bug will be fixed on your device.
    v1.1 of Firefox OS was officially released yesterday. Hopefully it won't be too long before it reaches the ZTE Open. See here for more details:

    I hope that helps.

  • How can I play all the songs in one genre in iOS7's music app?

    Suppose you want to listen to only blues music. In the music app in iOS 7 I can't find a way to select all the songs from one genre. When you select "genre" it takes you to a list of artist in that genre but there's no way to select all the songs. In previous iOS all you had to do was select "all artist" and then "play all songs". In iOS 7 I can't seem to find that option. I've tried using Siri but if the genre of music you have is not in English then Siri won't understand. Also Siri only works if it's connected to a network. What if your not connected and you want to listen to just Blues. Is this option not in the music app in iOS 7 or am I over looking something?

    Found the workaround... you are correct, this option was available in prior versions and now it is not.
    In any Music app view scroll to the top to unveil the search box.
    Search for your genre.
    Search results will show all artists matching your query, and if you scroll above that there is a 'Shuffle All Songs' option.

  • Music app shuffles always

    iPhone 4S, iOS 6.
    The Music app seems to be stuck in shuffle mode. The Shuffle icon is not highlighted, but I can't toggle it either. It just always plays in shuffle mode. I've tried playing an album in its song order and I've tried playing a playlist in its order. It always shuffles.
    Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution?

    Never mind, I got it. For some reason, tapping the screen was taking a really long time popping up the additional controls, so I never got to them. Sometimes these gratuitous UI changes are annoying.

  • I can't hear music through 'Music' app on my iPhone after IOS7 - but I can hear YouTube and Italk?  Help

    After upgrading to IOS7 I can't hear my music in the "Music" app either through my head phones or through my phone - I can hear it in YouTube and iTalk or videos that I view online... Does anyone know why??? Thanks.

    Why are you using two accounts? That is most likely creating the conflict. Try picking ONE ID, then try downloading a new app from the App Store on that ID and see if your other apps work.

  • Music app problems in iOS 7

    how to extend the space for 'files names' column in 'songs' tab of Music app?
    i am so disappointed in iOS7's music app. there are tabs for Artists & Albums in music app, there is no need to allocate artist and album columns in 'Songs' or 'Playlists' Tabs. I CAN NOT READ MY FILES NAMES COMPLETELY BECAUSE THE FILE NAME'S COLUMN IS SO SMALL.
    PLEASE TELL ME IS THERE ANY WAY TO REMOVE ARTIST AND ALBUM COLUMNS??

    I whole heartedly agree with the other comments here, the search function has been hidden, frustrating, when it used to sit in the bottom right corner where it was easy to access. Every view is list, with a library of 8000 songs, that is a lot of scrolling, it also denies me the joy of quickly scanning a grid view, much as you would do in a record store (I am old enough to remember those) and find that gem in my collection that I haven't heard in a while. The genius button again has been hidden behind a create option, ok it is there, but why hide it.
    The overly asthetics are fine, not knock my socks fantastic, just fine.
    Please apple if you read these comments, please add back some of the features you have taken away with this update.

  • Why is Podcast missing from the Music App. in iOS7

    I'm dissapointed on the fact that Podcasts are no longer supported by iOS7's music app.
    I used it on a daily basis and its hard for me to believe that Apple purposely made this change. I hope this is just an error which can be acceptable and hopefully fixed soon.
    Apple..... I hope you're listening...

    Which is a horrible app that shows every **** podcast you subsctribe to, whether or not you have a new episode, and doesn't let you arrange them properly to only show unplayed episodes.  It's also a completely needless app since the Music app handles podcasts just fine.

  • After upgrading to iOS7 music App doesn't work

    Hi,
    on my iPhone 4s after upgrading to iOS7, the music App dosn't show the music and crashes! What shoud I do?

    Hi,
    My first post on this communities thread & all I see is the same questions being answered?  Is there no moderator to quench the questons?
    My music app is doing exaclty the same after the IOS7 update, tad reluctant posting this as i'm sure there wont be an answer, just other frustrated folks like myself that will have to take time out to visit their genius bar, costing me time from work.

  • IPad Music App in IOS 7 is such a crap, When you gonna update it ?

    Guys Guys Guys, What happened to you ?
    Since the ios7 1st update am Waiting for Music app to be updated. I liked iphone music app, and i thought i could get in my ipad also but sad !
    since that day am waiting for music app update. In real words you guys f****d up the MUsic app. you should have make it better than iOS 6 but its such a crap i cant even think of opening it.
    There are no any major Pros if you guys compare it with iOS 6 Music app and Cons are First of all App is not Good in Looks Second, there were no need to show album art in Songs List & Third, it could not show Now Playing screen when you tap on album art such as in Itunes desktop app.
    Guys if you Cannot update the app then Please give us iOS 6 Music app back.

    Agreed!!
    The new Music app in iOS7 is horrible. Reduced functionality and the functionality that is there doesn't make intuitive sense.
    My main issues/corrections:
    1) Give the user an option to display, or not display, the large album art beside the Artist listing. The large album art beside each Artist takes up too much room and conveys no useful information.
    2) Within each Artist allow the user to select a listing of the albums (as in iOS6). Scrolling through albums does not make sense. Allow the user to select from a list!
    3) Within each Artist allow the user to sort the albums alphabetically. Sort the albums by title NOT date! Why sorting albums by date?
    4) Within each Artist replace the selection to play all songs (as in iOS6). In iOS7 only option is to shuffle play the songs.
    As it stands now in iOS7 the Music app has reduced functionality and is a horrible experience for the user.

  • Music app shows unknown artist for compilation albums

    I just submitted a bug report to Apple, though I can't believe I am the only person with this issue.
    Since iOS7 (I am currently on iOS7.0.4) I have noticed that the music app (along with many many other issues) will no longer display the artist for compilation albums that I have.  In iTunes the artist on the compilation is clearly defined but in iOS7 the Music app simply states "unknown artist".
    Surely I am not the only one with this issue?

    I am very annoyed by this bug too, I have  a lot of compilation albums and soundtracks with lots of differents artists, and my library is super organized in iTunes, with the “Album artist” field empty and the “Part of a compilation” checkbox enabled, and it shows the compilations as a “Various Artists” album.
    But when I tried to download through iTunes Match in my iPhone 5C some few songs from those albums today, I found out that the music app has this bug that makes almost all of the compilation albums appear within this “UNKNOWN ARTIST” category under the artists tab.
    It is very annoying and I hope Apple fixes this, cuz it is driving me crazy.

  • Ios7 no call decline option when its locked battert drains fast music is not able to controlled through headset unless the music app is open  please fix these bugs

    Ios7 no call decline option when its locked battert drains fast music is not able to controlled through headset unless the music app is open  please fix these bugs

    if they are unable to update all languages in a normal time gap (it is now 6 months ago they released firmware 4.22 for the first product code (actually mine and maybe a few others)), they should not offer those many versions. the huge bug with out of memory in nokia navigator with firmware 3.58 is not fixed yet for those people. really absolutely not acceptable.
    besides that, currently my phone is in a nokia service center, microphone doesnt work anymore (the one who i call just hears a very loud noise). my brother got the same phone, his one is in nokia service center since 2 weeks now, because it doesnt charge anymore as there seems to be a connection broken inside the phone).
    well that will be fun if the phone returns (approximately 4 weeks), as I guess the phones will have new IMEIs as they will send 2 new phones and not fix the problem (would cost them more). but as i got a western europe with nordics-map licence locked to the imei, the next problem will be there after I get a nokia 6110navi with another IMEI back. i get really upset with this really slow support.

  • Music App Problems iOS7

    I am not having problems syncing music with iOS7, however I am having other issues.
    For example, the app OFTEN crashes and freezes. This is a native app, should not be having this issue.
    Also, why did they take away the feature where double tapping the home button brings up the music controls? Can I bring that back?

    Double tap the home button and close out all the "cards" you have open by swiping them up. Make sure you don't have any apps left open. Tap the home button again when your done or just tap on the screen that's left (that can't be closed) now open the music app again it should not crash now. To pull up music controls slide from the very bottom of your screen upward this will bring control center where you can control your music player from any screen (actually better if you ask me) just have to get used to it. Hope that helps. If it doesn't I would consider doing a back up and restore by connecting your phone to iTunes and following the instructions under restore iPhone.

  • IOS8.1 Music App won't play "Skip When Shuffling" songs at all

    iTunes has two options for skipping a song during shuffle:  the first column with the tick box (let's call this the "Play Column"), and the "Skip When Shuffling" tick box in the Options tab of the song info.
    For songs in iTunes where the Play Column is unticked but Skip When Shuffling box is also unticked, this works as it should when synced to the iPhone:  ie the song doesn't come up in shuffle, but it can still be selected & played directly on Music app.
    But when the Skip When Shuffling box is ticked (regardless of whether the Play Column is ticked or not), the song can't even be selected & played directly on the Music app.  When selected, it just picks another random song from my playlist to start shuffling from.
    It's like the Skip When Shuffling option overrides the Play Column (no idea why iTunes should have two different options to do the same thing anyway), but has also now stopped the App from playing the song at all.  I've tested this by unticking the Skip When Shuffling box in iTunes & re-syncing to the iPhone, and the Music app now plays the songs when selected directly.
    My iPhone 4S using iOS8 always played these songs with no problem, so this is a new issue/bug/feature with either iO8.1 or the app in the iPhone 6 itself.

    What kind of Music App are you using?
    Maybe some Apps they have bugs when using iOS7.
    I'm using MVDIO and zingmp3, it's still okay here.

  • Music app problem's in ios6? i can't see a few artists in the list.

    Hi guys, i update my iPhone 4s yesterday from 5.1.1 to 6, everytime i sent a new music from iTunes to iPhone, in the artists list, doens't show any artist i have, if i goes to the songs list, all my musics appears, btw in the artists no, i just want to know if this problem is with me only, or anyone more is facing the same problem.
    thanks

    Same thing with my iPhone 5 music app. It kinda just "shuffles" really fast and not play anything. It goes through all the songs in all the albums really fast...but you can't hear anything.
    I tried restarting the app AND the phone (several times) and I have checked that the shake thing is off.
    What's happening?? I might have to go to the genius bar again *sigh*

  • Trying to understand the Music app... Genre question

    K... There are so many problems I have with the Music app, but this question is the focus on one.. I understand that I cannot play an entire Genre of music in iOS7 (without creating a Smart Playlist for each Genre from within iTunes), and I've come to terms with that....but I just realized I can't even see the specific songs that genre has.
    I dunno how to explain it, but I'll try...
    I have all of Adam Lambert's albums in iTunes and I have right clicked songs and set them to specific genres, some are pop, some are rock, and I have one lone Adam Lambert song in my "Dance" genre. On my iPhone, with iOS7, I go to the Music app...tap Genres...tap Dance...and it shows Adam Lambert...so I tap on it and it shows me ALL 70 songs, NOT the one single song I have listed in the Dance genre. Now, if I go to Genres on iTunes and go to the Dance section, then that one single Adam Lambert song shows up. This occurs with every artist, not just him. If I go to Rock, it shows all of them as well. It's as if...if you have an artist with a song in multiple genres it decides all of the songs should be in all of those genres. What's the point of it?
    I don't understand the point of the Genre section on the iPhone if I can't even sort my stuff correctly. Am I missing something or is this just how it is now?

    Have you read the manual for this plugin?
    It explains what High and Low refer to, and of course all the other parameters.
