Ipod playback of multiple podcasts

Is there a way to listen to multiple podcasts consecutively--like listening to an album or the shuffle setting for songs, but in the podcast catagory?
Thanks

It seems this "fix" isn't published anywhere. I found the solution by accident for my ipod classic 6G.
Go into your ipod Settings menu and turn Shuffle "Off". When shuffle is turned off then the podcasts will play continuously.
If you want the podcasts to stop each time the end is reached then turn Shuffle "On".
It's a pain. I have to turn shuffle on for music and then remember to turn it off before listening to podcasts.

  • Load multiple podcasts to your iPod?

    Does anyone know how to load multiple podcasts to their iPod? I assumed iTunes would push my entire podcast library to my iPod, but it didn't - only 1-3 episodes appear per podcast feed, and not even necessarily the most recent ones (and it failed to grab one podcast feed at all). In any case, I'd really like to have all podcasts available to choose from - is there some setting I can change to tell iTunes to transfer them all? (memory is not yet an issue)
    Also, memo to the apple designers: a dedicated podcast menu on the iPod would be really nice. I'm surprised there isn't one already, actually, given how much the iPod menus mimic iTunes
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)   iPod nano recent model

    uh ... explore the MAIN MENU option under SETTINGS on your ipod. it lets you select what you want on the main menu screen.
    Since you haven't managed to find that setting on your own, you might find it interesting that there are lots of settings in ITUNES that control what podcasts are transfered to your iPod. Plug your iPod into your computer, select it in iTunes, and go do the PODCASTS tab. Poke around in there for a bit - I think you'll find what you're looking for.

  • Autoplay Of Multiple Podcasts

    Hello.
    I recently upgraded from a 3G iPod to an iPod Classic and I have noticed that the new iPod handles the playback of podcasts differently.
    On my old iPod if I had multiple podcasts I could start playing one and then when that podcast finished it would start playing the next podcast in the list. The new iPod stops after playing the current podcast and doesn't automatically start playing the next podcast.
    Is there a place to change this playback behavior? Since my previous iPod was so much older I have no idea if this is an iPod software issue or an iTunes software issue.
    Thanks.

  • Download and playback of video podcasts and vodcasts

    Hi Folks,
    I have looked at the Classic features manual, looking for info on downloading *video podcasts* and Vodcasts into itunes, and playing them in ipod Classic. I couldn't get from the manual what I needed to understand the video issue . Does anyone have any advice, anything that I should know, or do, before downloading and playing these two types of video? I have read bits here and there about having to chang format of videos for successful download to itunes and playback on Classic. I am not techy enough to understand. (Just as info, I downloaded "Best of YouTube." It promptly locked itunes forever. I couldn't even uninstall itunes and reinstall. I had to create another User on my computer, in order to get itunes again.)
    Questions:
    1) Do I have to do some sort of conversion to download and play *video podcasts* and Vodcasts?
    2) Are *video podcasts* different from Vodcasts? Or are they the same format--just named differently? Is there anything that I need to do differently in the download process and playback of these two types of video? (FYI--The Bill Moyers show on PBS is where I was confronted with the *Vodcast.
    Thank you
    Randy

    you don't need additional tools to load the podcast or video podcast to your ipod, excepting an ipod manager like itunes, floola or juice.
    Just provide the feed into the ipod manager that you use and you are done. Probably the simplest option is to go with itunes. You need an internet connection though.

    EDIT: Well, Juice is not really an ipod manager, but a podcast manager/receiver

  • Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to...

    Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to play one after the other on your iPod? I want to combine podcasts of the same topic in a smart playlist. When I tried to do this I chose smart playlist, album starts with, and then did it again for each podcast I wanted. That didn't work. If it can be done how do you do it?
    I have a fifth generation iPod which is always updated to the latest as well as the itunes.

    Say for example I want to put different car related podcasts in one smart playlist. Car related podcasts such as Wall Street Journal Car Cast and NPR Car Talk. Can it be done and if so how?

  • IPod Playback on iPhone Has Unwanted Echo/Reverb

    All iPod playback has annoying echo/reverb sound. Is this a software issue or maybe a back earbud connector? I've tried several earbuds/headphones and the problem is the same each time. I've also tried restarting.
    It's running Version 3.0 software.

    Same problem. Echo/reverb only heard on saved podcast playback. Streaming audio/podcast is fine. Phone call sound with external speakers is fine. Same reverb heard with and without earbuds. iphone 3G with OS 3.0.1. I have tried reseting and erasing all. Same problem on recover from backup. I guess if I had the time I would reset and erase, then reinstall just OS 3.01 and retest. Maybe a conflict with one of the apps? Recent apps I've loaded include NPR News, KAYAK, reQall, Racers, and Medscape, but my kids are always loading new game apps.

  • Multiple ipods belonging to multiple family members on one computer

    How do I keep my family's libraries separate on one computer. I have been checking and unchecking songs each time I sync one of my children's ipods. It is driving me nuts. There has got to be a better way. My husbands library alone so far is 1300 songs. HELP!

    When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library
    b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
    c) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): iPod - Syncing Music
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Adding songs to iPod shuffle - Windows
    Multiple Libraries
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

  • Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?

    Hi all,
    Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?
    For example, I have a single .MAC account and create a website with multiple Podcast pages...or within iWeb I create multiple sites, and each has a podcast.
    Is there a problem?
    Thks
    Leo

    Its not possible for the same development object. Only 1 person can access an object at a time and if mutiple users modify an object new TASKs are created under the same TRANSPORT.
    Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

  • Synchronized playback from multiple computers?

    My roommates and I have about 5 computers all over the house. We can all access each other's iTunes libraries, but we would like to all be able to listen to the same playlist or songs at the same time as we wander around the house. There must be an app out there that allows the simultaneous playback from multiple computers, so that every computer can be playing the same song at the same time, no?

    It looks like I could play my music in VLC, then broadcast a stream over the network, however, this won't account for latency, and won't do any synchronization of the other computers. Plus, I'm not really interested in using VLC for playlists and organizing my music... Is this in the works at Apple, by any chance?

  • Multiple podcast subscriptions?

    Is there any neat way of subscribing to multiple podcasts?
    It is a problem that if I am in, say, Music Store>Podcasts>Business>All, there is a huge list & I may be interested in 100 of these. The 'Subscribe' button per podcast then takes me to my own library to begin the download.
    The trouble is that is is very long-winded for the next one to navigate back to the required category, find my way down the list, & then try to remember which I have subscribed to when viewing the 'Master' list. It is a slow process for each podcast, & writing the 'subscribed' down as a list seems very counter-productive.
    BTW it is PC iTunes, if that makes a difference

    Hi. Yes it returns to the page, but at the head of the list. I can't tell from that list to which I am subscribed, & I have to try & remember what position I was in. This becomes an issue when I am subscribing to 40+ podcasts in the list.
    Maybe there is no answer & hopefully an Apple dev might pick up on it for a future issue?

  • New iPod and Problems with Podcasts

    I just got a new 30gb iPod yesterday. I noticed when I was playing my podcasts this afternoon, that I couldn't play them all at once. They would play one at a time and then I would have to go back and chose from the podcast category. I have had a 15GB iPod and this did not happen.
    Anybody else have this problem?
    Thanks!

    2. To make the iPod play only one Podcast (and then stop) you need to put the iPod into shuffle songs mode. What happens (then) is: because Podcasts are set to skip on shuffle, when they are imported to iTunes, there will be no other Podcasts playable because they are all set to skip.
    That was the easy one.
    1. Are you changing the start and stop times of an episode in iTunes? Is it these new times that do not transfer to your iPod?
    If I assume (for now) that you are changing these times in iTunes, don't forget that you need to do this before you sync the iPod to iTunes. If you already have the iPod connected, iTunes may activate the transfer of those Podcasts before you chnage the time settings.

  • Playback of Multiple Videos Simultaneously -- onCuePoint

    Hello AS3 Gurus!
    I have multiple instances of a video playback object (not an FLVPlayback component) on my stage (named "videoScreen1", "videoScreen2", etc...). I have separate NetConnections, NetStreams, and NetStatusEvent handlers set up for each of the video instances. Everything works fine (playback of each video in each instance happens as expected and the NetStatusEvent handlers fire off, as expected, for each of the video streams) except I cannot figure out how to separately keep track of the OnCuePoints events for each of the video streams.
    Right now, I have just one onCuePoint function that reacts to the cuepoint info for all the streams at once (with the following code). This misses some of the cuepoints since it seems that it gets a bit confused as to how to handle all the onCuePoint events that fire off from all of the video streams. What I would like is to have separate onCuePoint functions set-up that react to only one stream. That is, have one onCuePoint function react to the video streaming on my "videoScreen1" video object, another that is reacting to my "videoScreen2" video object, etc... How can I do this?
    function onCuePoint(cpInfo:Object):void {
         var key:String;
         for (key in cpInfo) {
             trace(key + ": " + cpInfo[key]);
    Or, should my question be: "What is the best way to handle the simultaneous playback of multiple video streams and keep track of onCuePoint (and onMetaData) events for each of the streaming videos?"
    Any input would, as always, be most appreciated.
    Regards,

    Hi!
    I have had - and still seem to have the same problem. QuickTime 7 will start stuttering after the first change, ie. after the first movie. If you pause playback on and off, the current film will play perfectly - until the next change in the playlist. Then the problem reaccurs.
    I cured the situation by going back to QT 6.5.2, where everything works just fine... but you have to do without a lot of nice stuff that QT7 has.
    Also remember that QuickTime only supports a subset of SMIL, not all commands.

  • Java playback of multiple wav files in sequence - without overlap

    Hi there
    I am asking for suggestions on how to do simple consecutive playback of multiple wavefiles using java. Right now I have each wavefile loaded into a clip, and the playback almost works, but with occasional errors where two or more of the files are played back simultaneously. I am doing busy-waiting using the clip.isActive() method in a while-loop in order to detect when a clip has finished playing so that the next one can start. I know that there are most likely some smarter methods of doing this, and I have tried some of them - e.g. linelistener but without getting it to work. If anyone can supply me with some example code on how to do this the right way, or could point me to some literature, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thx in advance.
    Jacob

    http://www.jsresources.org/examples/SimpleAudioPlayer.html
    That example plays a file by opening it with an AudioInputStream and copying the contents to a SourceDataLine to play it...
    It can be easily modified to allow for multiple files to be opened & copied to a single SDL, and is what I'd consider the "proper" way to do it. Clips are mostly useful for things like making a button go "beep" and things of that nature. Not especially useful for normal multimedia applications.

  • My Ipod doesnt play every podcast

    It' s my third ipod. The first had an error. The second also. I don't know if the third has also an error. There are some podcasts which do not work on my ipod. They work in itunes but when i try to copy them on my ipod he says: "this podcast do not work on your ipod because of the format".There are about 19 podcats which do not work Sometimes when there are 3parts of the serie the first part works and the others not.It's not normal?

    The fact that the Podcasts will not play because they are in the wrong format is normal, and it doesn't mean your iPod has an error, it just means your iPod doesn't know how to read/play the format the Podcasts are in. Try selecting the Podcasts that do not play in iTunes and then go to the advanced menu in iTunes and select "convert selection for iPod/iPhone" then re-transfer the newly converted podcast(s) to your iPod and see if they play now?
