Music and album shuffle

Can you be able to shuffle albums when listening to music?
I like to listen to albums in my library, but the shuffle only shuffles the entire library.

The iPhone OS doesn't seem to do album shuffle, so I wrote an app to bring it back. It's called AlbumMixer, and the iTunes link is http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=329552764

  • ITunes Music and Album Cover Issue

    I purchased a 15" MBP a couple days ago and transferred data from my MBA.  All data transferred, however, in iTunes, my album art has disappeared, and the music will not play. Has anyone experienced this issue, and if so, how did you resolve?  Thanks much!

  • Imported music and album artwork

    i've just imported all of my music into my itune but i haven't got any of my artwrok and when i click download album artwork it says that it can't be found. what sould i do??

    ID3 tags are not part of the podcasting structure, they are associated with the audio files that make up your podcast. If your audio file is an MP3 formatted file, you can use a tag editor like iTunes to add various "meta-data" descrptions to the file. The tags are part of the file, and players like iTunes or Windows Media Player read and display the tags. iTunes uses the tags to organize your music display.
    So, when you create your podcast's audio file, you can probably add ID3 tags using the tool used to make the file. It probably added some by default.

  • IPod Music and Album Art gone haywire after restore/updates/sync

    First post !
    Since my PC (Win7Pro 64bit) had SP1 installed, iPod Touch (2G) is going nuts. Sent to Apple - latest OS and iTunes (64bit)installed and all OK they said - but now when syncing from iTunes,Album Artwork is gobble-de-gook and some music jumps to next song part way (1/2) through playing. Some tracks have wrong names and some have no artwork at all.
    Have restored (as per Apple Cust.Support) and tried to resync but still all over the place. Still under warranty but they found no fault at Service.
    Easy to blame M/Soft but every other thing attached works fine (Nokia,Samsung,Logitech, etc.) Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

    did you ever find a resolution to this? i have almost the same issue on my iPhone. thanks

  • Iphone music: progress bar, shuffle options GONE

    After the latest update, when I am playing "music" (previously known as the "iPod" function of the iPhone), there are no longer the progress bar of the actual title and the shuffle options available! When I tap on the actual song ("now playing"), it shows only the cover and the volume bar below, but not the progress bar above the cover! And the worst: It is stuck on "shuffle" - I can't hear my music and albums in order, because everything automaically shuffles.
    I tried already a restart and a reset of the iPhone ... no result.
    ok - found the solution:

    Re: iPod on iPhone Shuffling My Music When I Don't Want it Shuffled     19.09.2008 05:42    (in response to BrentNHunter) 
    It isn't a bug, but rather not clear usability. If you ever click the "word" Shuffle when looknig at a list, that isn't really the place to set shuffle, but rather a shortcut. What it does is turn Shuffle on (setting) then start playing.
    Go play any song.
    Tap middle of screen.
    Another progress menu will appear near top.
    In that menu it has Shuffle, Repeat and Progress options.
    There if Shuffle is Blue (on) tap it to turn it White (off).
    And remember, if you ever click the word Shuffle in a list again, it turns that setting on as it is a global setting to the iPod player.

    Thanks a lot dude......work'd for me..

  • Hi. The buttons and wheel of my iPod 4th generation do not work. The hold button resets the iPod, and the shuffle shake works. The music plays by shuffling but I can't access albums etc due to the buttons and wheel not working.

    Did you restore from backup?
    Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup

  • [All Platforms][Music] Album Shuffle Function

    Spotify should implement a shuffle album function. The path for shuffling all songs is currently Your Music > Songs > Shuffle Play. The only difference for the paths would need to be swapping Songs for Album (or Playlist or Artist, or however this could be expanded).  I really like listening to music, sometimes I enjoy the song shuffle feature, but usually it's too erratic for me. One minute it's hardcore, the next is some americana rock, the next is some sad singer songwriter, then on to hair metal... you get the picture. What would be nice would be an album shuffle feature. Let me listen to 15 hardcore songs in a row by the same artist, then onto an album of Americana rock, then maybe I want to skip the depressing singer/songwriter that's up next, so I do. I've always thought it would be an awesome feature to have and hopefully some other folks do too. 

    further research led me here- https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Shuffle-by-Album/idi-p/18457 so give that kudos or what have you. 

  • Can i have the same itunes acct for two ipods (one nano and one shuffle)?  the shuffle is new and i want to duplicate the music. how do i do this?

    I have a nano that's a couple years old with an itunes acct.  Just got a shuffle and want to duplicate the playlist on the shuffle.  When I plug in the shuffle to the existing acct nothing happens.  How do I copy that music onto my shuffle.  thanks.

    Yes.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphone/ipads as you like to one computer/library.  This has nothing to do with your issue.
    Itunes does not "see" the ipod?
    iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes

  • I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products.  How can I put music on my shuffle without paying for it on itunes?  Can't I find a song somewhere and where and then transfer it to my shuffle somehow.  I have been trying for 3 hours.

    I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products and devices.  I have a ipod shuffle, 4th generation.  I want to find music, without purchasing a song on itunes  and then copy it to my shuffle.  Is this possible.  If so, where do I find the music and how do I get it to my shuffle.  I have been trying for 3 hours and about to give up. Please help me.

    Yes, of course.  iTunes was around before there was an iTunes Store.  And I think Apple cares MORE that you purchased an iPod, and LESS about where you get your music to play on the iPod.
    You can buy music the "old school" way, on CD, and "rip" them into your iTunes library using iTunes.
    You can download/buy music from other sources, as longs as the format is MP3 or AAC, and don't use copy protection (DRM).  NOTE:  iTunes Store music downloads do not use any DRM. 
    One example is Amazon.com. 
    http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Download/b/ref=sa_menu_mp3_str1?ie=UTF8&node=163 856011
    They offer a utility called Amazon MP3 Downloader, which automatically places your downloads into your iTunes library.
    If the source just provides you with the downloaded song files, all you need to do is open a window showing the files or the folder containing the files.  Run iTunes and select Music in the sidebar, under LIBRARY.  Then drag the songs files or the folder containing the files from its window to the iTunes window, and drop them there.  iTunes will add the songs to your iTunes library.
    Once the songs are in your iTunes library, you can automatically sync or manually load them onto your shuffle.

  • HT1719 I have music on my Shuffle and want to transfer it onto iTunes but when I go to Sync it, it warns me that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what's on my iTunes. I have a new mac-mini and my old computer was an HP.

    Can anyone tell me how to tranfer the music that is on my Shuffle to iTunes? When I go to Sync it, it gives me a warning that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what is on my iTunes. I recently changed computers from an HP to a Mac-Mini and did not transfer/sync the itunes prior to getting rid of my itunes. So the music I had on itunes does not appear in my library. Help please!

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your new Mac and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Then proceed to do the Erase and Sync or restore the device.

  • Hi I've just synced my iPhone 5 to my dad's computer to get an album I downloaded on there and it wiped my phone of all of the music and now it will not allow me to get it back how do I get my songs back

    You might have better luck in the iPhone community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

    Have you tried syncing the iPhone to your computer and restoring from the backup to see if you can get your other songs back? If you purchased the new album with your Apple ID, you should be able to download it to your computer to sync.

  • I had songs loaded on my PC and Shuffle. My PC crashed and they were unable to restore my iPod library (that is still on my shuffle). Now, my shuffle has been used so much, I must replace it! Q: How do I get my music from old shuffle onto new shuffle?

    I had songs on my PC and my shuffle and my PC crashed. They were unable to restore my iTunes library when my computer was fixed. The songs still remain on my Shuffle, but now it is being replaced with another Shuffle. Q: How do I get my music from my old Shuffle onto my new Shuffle? Thanks!

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • How do I stop Genius from recommending songs and albums that are already in my iTunes music library?

    With greater and greater frequency, Genius is recommending songs and albums that are already in my music library. Up to 80% of the recommendations!. I am hesitant to give these suggestions a thumbs down, as I like the songs (afterall, I own them) and don't want to give the impression that I don't like the artist, genre, etc. as I appreciate how Genius works, when it does work.
    I have updated Genius and updated iTunes Match, to no avail.
    This quirk -- recommending music already in my library -- used to be a rare event. Now, most of the recommendations I get are for music I already own.
    How can I fix this?

    To be a little bit more accurate the said book sits in my Documents on my Macbook,  purchased through iTune for free in iTunes Store>Books. I can find it with Finder on my Macbook. It says it is in my Documents but it does not appear in the Documents folder in my Dock. Great! Even the iTunes Store says it is downloaded already. And why when I search for it with Finder on my Mac and click on the result does a window open up full of comoter language? I need some help.
