Mini I Pod Shuffle Song Playback

I have a mini I pod and play have downloaded songs, audio books and instructional programs, ei Spanish. My question is when I am listening to music and use the Shuffle songs, I do not want the Instructional Spanish program to be included in the song shuffle.

You probably want to ask this in the iPod mini discussion group, not the one devoted to the iPod shuffle.
If the mini supports playlists, though, I'd set up a playlist for music (which you can listen to in shuffle mode) and one for books.
Good luck

How do I delete a song from an i-pod shuffle?

How do I delete a song from an i-pod shuffle?

If her iPod is set up to sync automatically with iTunes, then simply configure the iPod so that the track is removed from the Shuffle during the next sync operation. For example, if the iPod is configured to only sync selected tracks, then make sure the track you wish to remove doesn't have a tick mark next to it in your main iTunes library.
If you manually manage the iPod's contents, you must manually move the song from the iPod via iTunes. Plug the Shuffle in, and then click on the small black triangle next to it's device name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to open up a submenu. From there click music. Locate the track you wish to delete. Highlight it and hit Delete or choose Edit -> Delete.

How do I add songs to i-pod shuffle in the new iOS 6.1.2 screen format?

I recently updated to the most recent apple software (iOS 6.1.2) I recently purchased songs from the I-tunes store, but cannot figure out how to add them to my i-pod shuffle. The format looks different. Is there a step by step guide to teach me how to navigate through the updated screen?
I really want to listen to the music I just purchased and add other songs from my I-tunes library.

Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Shuffle songs doesn't seem to work on my ipad mini

Shuffle songs doesn't seem to work on my ipad mini; it just goes on to play the next alphabetical song. Can anyone help?

The info on that is correct - it says :
You currently cannot hide purchases on devices using iOS 6.
You should still be able to hide ibooks via your computer's iTunes, and they shouldn't then appear in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (if you don't want ibooks that are in the cloud to show on the bookshelf in iBooks then set Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off' - hiding doesn't hide them from that, only from the Purchased tab).

Gapless Playback in Shuffle Songs Mode

I looked for an answer but haven't had any luck so I apologize in advance if this has already been answered elsewhere.
Is is possible for the gapless songs to play on a 5G iPod when you have the shuffle songs mode set to on? Even in iTunes if it is set to shuffle songs the gapless playback doesn't seem to work. I have tried the get info and set the album as gapless and everything. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Yeah, but shuffle albums may start off in the middle
of an album and the song may be in the middle of 3-4
continuous songs.
Still...
Interesting, I thought if you shuffled albums it would start from the beginning of the album and play through. i have to admit, I've never played my music this way.
As for your suggestion, what about Pink Floyd - Dark
Side of the Moon?
If gapless songs were kept together while Shuffle
songs is on, you would hear some randon songs and
then a whole album, then more random songs?
Exactly, Dark Side of the Moon is meant to be played together but most albums have maybe two tracks that are designed for back to back playing. I was just hoping to have random songs play but for example, "Boston's Third Stage" album, "The Launch", and "Cool The Engines", are supposed to play together like one song. So in other words have songs shuffle but if they are intended to play back to back that would happen and then shuffle would resume until the next such tracks come up. Maybe I'm just asking for too much.

Ipod Mini -Shuffle songs-Need more info!!

I know you can shuffle your library of songs. I'm trying to shuffle just a specific playlist. Can it be done? If so, HOW? If not, WHY NOT? I get tired of going to a playlist and starting out with the same song.

Make sure "shuffle songs" is set to on. Then go to any specific playlist and hit play, and all the songs within that playlist will be shuffled.
If you want to start with a different song each time, select a playlist, select a song in that playlist, hit play and the playlist will be shuffled beginning with the song you selected.
Am I making sense?

I seem to be having the same issue. How did you restore your iPod?

HT1473 how can i get my library to copy from my i-pod shuffle to my computers i-tunes library?

How do you get a library to copy from an i-pod shuffle to the i-tune library on the computer?

If you have not done so, you may want to restart your computer.
That message (about the song file not found) means iTunes cannot locate the song file where it expects to find it. Are you sure you can still play the song in iTunes (?), because you may get a yellow exclamation point next to the song, meaning the same thing; iTunes did not find the song file where iTunes expected to find it.
The consolidate command would not help if iTunes can't locate the files.
That might mean they were moved or deleted. If you do a Get Info (from right-click) on one of those songs, the Info window should tell you the expected location of the song file, on the Summary tab next to Where. Follow that path (using Windows) to see if the song file is there.

HT1320 How do I reset my I-Pod Shuffle (2nd Gen?) to get rid of the old music in its memory - driving me crazy trying to find out??

How do I delete the existing songs on my I-Pod shuffle! Its driving me crazy.

What does shuffle songs in iPod menu as opposed to Settings do?

What's the difference between hitting Shuffle Songs in iPod Menu and cycling through the Shuffle options in Settings? I have a 5th gen iPod Nano and if I turn Shuffle OFF in Settings and then go to Shuffle Songs in Menu, it seems to turn Shuffle back on...So, does Shuffle Songs turn Shuffle on and off too? On mine, it seems to just turn it on.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi boulderskies@ck,
You may want to consult the iPod nano’s user guide, available here -
iPod nano 5th generation User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1194/en_US/iPod_nano_5th_gen_UserGu ide.pdf
You will see (on page 6) that selecting Shuffle songs from the main menu will play all songs in random order.
Further descriptions of shuffle functions are found on page 43.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Managing I-Pod shuffle

When I connect my i-pod shuffle, the device shows up as sync "Joe's I-pod". If you click this it automatically syncs and there is no option to click "Music" and choose any other options listed in the user guide. ie(Select "Sync music," then choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres." or "Automatically fill free space with songs." Or user guide says to sync automatically, in iTunes, select iPod Shuffle in the list of devices, then click Summary. Deselect "Manually manage music". Click Apply. the update begins automatically. Again there is no "Summary" to click, nothing to deselect and no "apply".
All of this appeared the first time I connected the i-pod shuffle to my computer but now it seems all I can do is charge the battery. When I click sync "Joe's i-pod" almost immediately "i-pod sync is complete" appears at the top of itunes window.
This is a 4-th generation i-pod shuffle which i have two identical ones.
I recently updated from Tiger OS 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8, on a 1.83 Intel Core Duo I-Mac, 2 GB memory, I-tunes v11.0.1.
Any help you can gives is appreciated.

I believe this is a common item sold by many third party vendors so you don't have to buy the Apple version. Here is one example of probably a million out there (ebay, other vendors, etc.)...
