Is there a way to join songs in a playlist?

I want to include in a random playlist three consecutive songs on an album, so that they always play in sequence within the random playlist.
The playlist is a long one, (some 900 songs), containing all my favourite songs, and I set it (in iTunes, before I sync it onto my iPod) to play randomly. This effectively gives me my own 'radio station' on my iPod, and it works fine for single songs.
But I would like to have a sequence of three songs from one album play all together, one after the other. (The album is Moody Blues 'In Search of The Lost Chord', and the three song sequence is 'House of Four Doors 1', Legend Of A Mind' and House of Four Doors 2', which form a kind of medley on the album.)
Is there any way to join just these three songs up, so that they play together in sequence on my random playlist please?

Ahh, right!
I hadn't realised that I had that option; there is no sign of it, of course, in the import settings dialogue box.
I have now found it under the 'advanced' menu, and worked out how to use it.
Thanks.

  • Is there a way to transfer songs from a Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes,only accepted 1400 of the songs. MP3 player was full.  I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed order.

    The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic. 
    Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?

  • Is there a way of "merging" songs in iTunes. Several times, I have downloaded from the Internet, or recorded from CDs, then found the tracks broken up to appear as separate "Albums". I have a 5-movement symphony, which appears as 5 separate songs?

  • Hard drive crashed- is there any way to burn songs from an ipod?

    hi mac geniuses. my HD crashed. there is a pearl jam concert that i downloaded from their website after i went to the concert. the concert is not available for download any longer. is there any way to burn songs or transfer songs from an ipod so i don't lose this music?? as soon as i plug in my ipod to my 'new' computer, it will be wiped. thanks!

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files (purchased and non purchased) and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Is there ANY way to transfer songs from ipod to library???

    I have an Ipod mini, and I have received about 200 songs from 3 or 4 of my friends libraries, but now I can't put those songs in MY library. I really want to burn some of them onto cd's etc etc in case my ipod goes down, but the songs need to be from your LIBRARY. Is there ANY way to do this (trick, program, accessory, etc??)
    If not, is there any way to burn songs from ipod to a cd?? I want to get a support together in case my computer or ipod break. Thank you!!

    If iCloud is available for your country, you should. Here is the article that has the steps on how you can do this:

  • Is there a way to transfer songs fron iphone to itunes

    is there a way to transfer songs from iphone to itunes

    "The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases"
    There is no way to transfer non-iTunes purchases from an iDevice to iTunes without using third party software.
    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of one's computer and the important data on it for events like this.  If a backup existed, it would be a simple matter of copying the content from the backup to the new computer.

  • Is there a way to recover songs after a repair?

  • Is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

    is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

    Does delete (from the iPhone) really delete the songs from the iPhone, or just hide the songs?
    I normally list "By artist".  I can delete an album (by swiping on the album sidways and then pressing delete), and the album (and all the songs) don't appear in the music player on the iPhone; But when I look at music in iTunes for the iPhone, the songs are still there.
    I'm confused.

  • Is there a way to recapture song information from CD on my iPod Classic  (i.e. Track 1 etc)?

    Is there a way to recapture song information from CD (i.e. Track 1 etc)? I loaded several CDs on my iPod years ago that don't have titles or artist listed. I have no idea what CDs they are from!

    Good suggestion! I used Shazam and came up with several of the titles and artists but not all. I appreciate your reply. There's no way I can find the CD with 7,000 songs on my iPod!

  • Is there a way to shuffle songs on the new ipad?

    This is my first Ipad and I'm rather disappointed in the Music software.  Is there a way to shuffle songs?  I cannot seem to figure that out.  I see an icon that if you click it, it will randomly select a song to play from the playlist but the songs are still displayed in the same order within a playlist no matter what.

    Tap the shuffle control at the right end of the play head.  Black is shuffle on, white is shuffle off.  Shuffle on affects the play order, but doesn't affect the display order.

  • Is there any way to move songs from one account to another?

    I accidentally bought an album on iTunes on the wrong account. In order to download it onto my iPod, I think that all of the songs from the other account would be deleted. Is there any way to just move the album to the other account (which is on the same computer), or use two accounts on one iPod?

    Control-click the songs in iTunes, show them in the Finder, copy them to /Users/Shared/, log into the other account, and import them into iTunes.
