Is there a "one touch" option to start playing music?

I'm new o the world of the Ipod Touch but have been using the Ipod Classic for a few years now. The one thing I liked about the Classic was the ability to customize menus and have a one click option on the top most menu to start playing songs in a shuffle (Shuffle songs).
Now I picked up a new-to-me 1st Generation Ipod Touch 32G (to work with all of my existing car & home docking/charging systems where the 2G & 3G wont because of the voltage differences) and I sorely miss the one-touch music playing.
Is there an App or config option to allow me to press one button to play?
Thanks!
Frank

I tried several applications, most of which were godawful, didn't work, or were made for 12 year old girls and/or people who like the Fast & the Furious, but I found one application that was exactly what I was looking for and more.
FlickTunes is made to be used in a mobile environment. It offers customizable fonts so you can read the artist & song from more than a few inches away, instant & integrated access to the Music app so you can start playing music instantly, you can preset a playlist to start playing to save even more time, full & functional repeat & random, and the best part is it has fully customizable one, two, and three finger gestures so you can adjust volume, fast forward, pause, play, skip ahead a song, etc without having to even look down at the Ipod/Iphone....just swipe anywhere on the screen and it'll do what you programmmed.
I'd highly recommend this app to anyone who uses their Ipod while mobile...in the car, on a bicycle, running, etc.

  • Is there a "one-touch" way to convert to my existing library to DNG?

    Is there a "one-touch" way to convert to DNG?
    My Aperture library currently has three types of files: JPEG files taken with point-and-shoot camera going back for years, (ii) RAW (NEF) files made with a Nikon D60, (iii) RAW (CR2) files made with a Canon G9, and (iv) RAW (DNG) files I have shot recently.
    I am interested in converting all the non-DNG RAW files (NEFs and CR2s) into the Adobe DNG file format. I understand that the format has a smaller file size (than the original RAW file) and that it is "lossless" (unlike converting to JPEG). So, in addition to "standardizing" my file-types, it will also reduce my overall library size (in GBs).
    So, the question is: is there a way to take my existing Aperture library and, through some (hopefully free) combination of scripts and programs, convert all the RAW files to DNG automatically and without having to export each one from Aperture and them import it again. That is, I want a solution that will look at each file and ignore the JPEGs and DNGs, (ii) convert the NEFs and CR2s into DNG, and (iii) move the original NEF/CR2 files to a folder (just in case)?
    This is not an problem going forward, because I can easily just import as DNG to begin with ... but its an issue for a few thousand images in my library.
    Any ideas? Also, anyone think this is a crazy bad idea?
    Thanks,
    ~B

    Do you find that using Aperture to "import" the pictures (e.g., using the import function on Aperture and pointing it at your memory card) gives better results than using the DNG converter to "import" (e.g., by selecting the camera memory card and saving the conversions to disk, then importing those DNG files into Aperture)?
    Not the way it works. The camera memory card does not have conversions on it, it has RAW (or JPEG) image files.
    IMO generally most useful to help keep drives underfilled and fast (drives slow as they fill) is to manage by Reference ("referenced images") as in the workflow outline below where Master images can live anywhere. However with small changes similar workflow could be applied to Managed Masters.
    I feel pretty strongly that card-to-Aperture or even camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
    • Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable, and Firewire is much preferable to USB2.
    • Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
    • Eject CF.
    • Burn backup hard drive or DVD copies of the original images (optional recommended backup step).
    • Eject backup hard drive(s) or DVDs.
    • From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location." This is called "referenced images." During import is the best time to also add keywords, but that is another discussion.
    • Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
    • Reformat CF in camera, and archive originals off site on hard drives and/or on DVDs.
    Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
    Alternatively, does anyone actually use (or recommend) Nikon-branded software for any step in this process? If your camera shoots JPG (as all mine did till a few months ago), it does not matter ... but does the RAW thing change that equasion?
    Yes RAW changes the equation. Folks who want the very best NEF conversions will use Nikon Capture NX2 but the interface *****. Personally I find Aperture very good for the D2x.
    Good luck!

  • My iphone starts playing music when I'm not even touching the phone

    My iphone 4 starts playing music when the phone is in my purse and I'm not touching it or even going through my purse. I've tried making sure the ipod is not set to a song but rather to a menu screen when I close it. Sometimes I haven't even used the ipod recently. My phone also calls people when I'm not touching it. Does anyone else have this problem? It must be something I'm doing but I can't figure out what it could be. I'd appreciate any help!

    Mine plays music when I have the iPhone 4 in my pocket and bend over a little, I know that kinda 'scrunches' the phone slightly but no other iPhone I've had ever did this and I've treated them all the same. I'll be walking along, pick up something and then the music starts playing. I don't touch anything, never attach headphones, basically the phone is asleep but somehow something triggers the music to start playing. I've entered this as a separate thread but no one seems to know why this happens. I suppose I could take the phone back and exchange it for a new one, but it would be better to know what is causing this.

  • How do I configure my bluetooth on my iPod Touch 4G to automatically play music when connected and to connect as media not a phone?

    Is there any way to have my iPod Touch automatically start playing music when it connects to my car stereo via Bluetooth?
    Also, I would like the option to connect to my car stereo as media only and not as a phone. My car stereo supports the ability to connect to a phone via Bluetooth simultaneously with another device such as my iPod Touch as a media source. The problem is that if my iPod Touch connects first it will force out my phone from connecting via Bluetooth since it connects as a phone as well as media. I have been able to make this whole setup work by turning both my phone's Bluetooth off and my iPod Touch's Bluetooth off. Then turning my phone's Bluetooth on first and allowing it to connect. Then changing the Bluetooth option on my phone to only connect as phone. Then turning my iPod Touch's Bluetooth on and that works just fine. Both devices respond perfectly but for that to work I have to do that process everytime I get into my car. Is there anyway to set this up so I don't have to go through all of this hassle?
    Btw my iPod Touch has been updated to version 4.3.5.
    Any suggestion, comments, or concerns would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    If you store itunes andn iphoto library on the TC you could be in trouble. The TC has no auto backup mechanism.. it is simply unable to work as a true NAS. It has no media servers. It is slow.. it is very easy to corrupt libraries especially in connection over wireless. In general we recommend people do not do this.
    If you go ahead anyway.. apple have specific instructions for moving the libraries.. do follow it.
    I am not sure if the SONOS can play directly from itunes library or has to use an itunes server.. remember the TC is a dumb as a board router with no media servers. Apple TV also need an active itunes to work AFAIK.. you cannot play files.. unless you JB the ATV.
    Also be careful as SONOS does not like apple names.. use all SMB compatible names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    Finally yes,.. at last .. you can extend the wireless in the TC using another apple router.. you cannot extend wireless using any other brand.

  • My ipod touch will not stop playing music

    My ipod touch will not stop playing music. I will pause the music, leave the playlist, and after 30-60 seconds, the music starts playing again. I use my ipod when I run and when I drive (hook it up to the stereo). It is very annoying when I stop to take a phone call or listen to directions, turn off my music, and then hardly a minute into my stop, the music starts right back up again.

    FUEL1996, not correct. Apple does not allow one app to control another app.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s start playing music when I connect to a bluetooth unit?

    I have recently bought a new 4s and have attempted to use it with my Automedia handsfree bluetooth unit in the car. The phone worked fine with my previous (Android) phone, but whenever I receive a call on the 4s it starts playing music through the bluetooth unit as well as the telephone conversation. This does not happen when I make a call. Any suggestions on how I can stop the music playing? (The phone wont let me swap to the music player to put the music on hold either.) Any help greatly appreciated as this is really annoying.

    I considered that too, but when I double clicked the home button to show what apps were running, there was nothing there. I just don't understand how anything would have opened because I hadn't touched my phone in several minutes.

  • Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this?

    Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this? This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

    To check for warranty coverage:

  • Itouch randomly unpauses and starts playing music.

    Hi All,
    Hopefully someone can help with this one, I've done a bit of googling and havent found anything yet so fingers crossed.
    I generally listen to my Itouch at night when im in bed ready to go to sleep, press pause button and then press the button to turn the screen off.
    so far so good,
    at some point the next day (havent been able to nail down an exact time yet) the itouch will suddenly start playing music randomly ie not the tune or even album i was listening to the night before. although that might be because ive only noticed it playing a good while after it started.
    only way i've found to fix it is to turn it off completely, which is obviously a pain in the bum and would like to know why it does it.
    anyone got any ideas?
    thanks in advance
    nOm

    I just got my iPod touch 32GB 3rd gen for graduation, an mine is doing the exact same thing. I'll pause it to go bed or watch a movie, and suddenly it will start playing music. The only way I've found that it will not do this is to just unplug your headphones before going to sleep. That somehow works. And exit out of your music app to just the regular home page. That's just a home remedy. I really want to find out what's up as well.

  • My ipad starts playing music after opening case

    iTunes start playing music every time I open case lid. It is annoying and unprofessional. How to fix this bug?

    Yes.  That happens.   Turn the keyboard off.  If that does not seem to do it, turn Bluetooth off.
    There are a fair number of reports from folks where the pad starts playing music at the wrong time.  Like on the subway, or in a meeting.  And it is always tied to a bt keyboard paired with the pad. 
    It is a 'feature' that starts playing music when almost any key is touched.   So turn it off.     
    Question, if you have the music app turned fully off ( double tap the home button to see the task bar, touch the music icon until it jiggles, then kill it fully by touching the minus sign), does it still happen?

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

    My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

    I have same issue with iPad3.  all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes.  maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
    mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn.  I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
    I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
    I have restarted.
    I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back!  iCloud restore was perfect.  I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
    please advise.
    thanks,

  • Is there a way for two people to play music on Apple TV.  We both have itunes [she on windows, me on mac [mt lion].

    Is there a way for two people to play music on Apple TV?  We both have itunes [she on windows, me on mac [mt lion].  We can turn on home sharing but we have separate email accounts.

    Use Boot Camp Assistant in
    Applications/Utility
    Remove the partition.
    There is also a full pdf help guide built in Help menu there.
    There are other methods also. Use OS X DVD and delete it but you can't do so while booted from your hard drive.
    Memory = "RAM" that programs use and get loaded into to run
    Your partition is part of hard drive physical storage where OS and applications are kept until needed.
    And yes, Mac needs to have 20GB or 20% minimum to avoid problems and will run slower with such small amount of free space.
    You could also do one of a number of ways to backup and then boot from another device and reformat and then restore your drive.
    A "Mac Pro" is a workstation with multiple internal drive bays so really easy to backup, put Windows on its own hard drive; and no need to have someone else do anything - at all.
