Music playback by artist

I listen to my music list sorted by artist. In iTunes, when I click on music by any artist, after playing the selections by that artist, iTunes goes on to the next artist in the list. But iPad doesn't. It stops. It only goes on to the next artist if I start at the top of the list. Any fix for this?

Not really, though I suppose you can always clear the search box before the current track comes to an end if you notice. This one trips me up from time to time too. I generally try to play tracks from the Music source and use other playlists for maintenance.

  • Control of music playback

    I just a got an iPod Touch. Previously I used an iPod Classic (circa 2004). Touch is working great but I'm not thrilled with music playback. I want to be able to download my playlist then just hit play and shuffle by albums.
    Am I missing something? I don't see many of the playback options I had on my former iPod.
    Thanks.

    Are you having trouble finding/starting your playlist? Once you start the Music application, you should see an icon for Playlists (and Artists, etc.)
    When you open a Playlist, the first thing at the top is the Shuffle option, that will immediately begin play in Shuffle/Song mode. Unfortunately there is no Album Shuffle mode on the Touch -- you can only shuffle by song.
    The other way to initiate shuffle play is while you're already playing something, tap the screen to bring up the "scrubber bar". To the right of the bar is the shuffle icon, touch it to turn shuffle ON (blue) or OFF (white). Again, there is no +Album Shuffle+ mode.

  • Why does my new iPod touch sort music by album artist, instead of song artist?

    I recently go an iPod touch 4th Gen. My old iPod sorted music by song artist, but the new one sorts it by album artist. My problem is this: There is an album called Re:generation. It was a project in which 5 DJs each made 2 songs for the album. So I enter the info for each song, but my iPod sorts it by album artist, which is listed as "Re:generation". I wanted the songs to be sorted by the 5 artists that actually made the songs, so there would be 2 songs under 5 different artists. If I wanted to listen to the whole album, I could press the album tab, scroll down to "Re:generation" and play the whole album. This all worked fine on my old iPod, but now it doesn't.
    My first solution was to change the album artist on each song to the artist that created that song. But then by iPod list 5 different albums, so I can't listen to the album as a whole if I wanted to. My next solution was to erase the album artist info  for each song, but now none of the ten songs can be found under the artist tab. I have to go over to the album and pick which song I want to hear.
    If you don't understand, here's an example. 2 of the songs on the Re:generation album are by Pretty Lights. I want to be able to select Pretty Lights under the artist tab, choose all songs, shuffle, and have those 2 songs play at some point. But I would also like to be able to got to the album tag, select Re:generation, and play all 10 songs in order. However, the new setup won't allow me to do this.
    So I'm wondering if I can fix the problem by somehow editing the iPod's sort settings (if possible), or reverting back to the old system (if possible), and why Apple even changed the system in the first place. It seems pretty stupid to me, and I honestly see no reason to change what I thought was a perfect system.

    wow, i really don't have time to read all that, but i'll give you an hint when you're in music library click "More" and then "Composers" i think that's what you're lookin for otherwise just ignore it

  • Front Row/music playback issue

    Hi all,
    I have a rather large music library in iTunes and I have my Mac Mini attached to my stereo and TV. I use Front Row for music playback. Recently, I have been having trouble as the music will "stall" randomly or "freeze" for a couple seconds, then resume playing. Very annoying.
    I've noticed that this problem does not seem to happen if I select the music from iTunes without Front Row running or if I use FR to select the music, then back out of FR with the little remote.
    Anyway, I prefer to keep FR running. I've seen LOTS of articles and posts regarding video freezing with FR, but not music. Anyone know what's wrong?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem on my macmini. :/
    And I too like to leave Front Row playing songs while I do other thing in my house.
    It hangs in almost every song now, it never did that before. I wonder if it's this iTunes update...
    Is there someone else with the same problem, or someone that could help us solve that?

  • CK-200 poor music playback quality

    Hi, I've just installed the car kit CK-200 (ISO cable version) into my car and I'm very disappointed by the music playback quality.
    I have Nokia C7 with the latest firmware (14.002) and I have also updated the car kit firmware into 3.0.
    There's no problem with the phone call quality - I would say it is comparable to the other car kits (for example to CK-7W I've had before), but if I want to use it for playing music, it still plays it in "phone call-like" quality. I have tried different players, but no success - still the same low quality.
    If I turn the FM transmitter on and tune up the car radio to the transmitters' frequency, I get much better quality then via this car kit (although sometimes it's noisy from other broadcasting radios).
    In the product description of this CK-200 they highlight very good sound quality thanks to some DSP technology - I hope there's more than this.
    Do you have any idea what might be the problem here?

    Hi
    The CK-200 is a mono output car kit that is only designed for calls, not music.
    If a handset is playing music via the mono Bluetooth channel, this is a fluke, and not part of the design of the handset.
    The CK-100, 300, 600 are all stereo car kits with music capability.
    The DSP settings on the CK-200 manage the voice vs background noise in the car so the driver can be heard more clearly by the other caller.

  • Keynote Sync problems with music Playback

    Dear Keynote Experts,
    after long trying I can´t fix this problem.
    I want to synchronize Pictures with 4s duration. This shall run in sync with a music playback which is 120 bpm. So it would be in Sync with the progression of the beats. At least the pictures don´t run smooth in my case during the presentation. I checkes the timing with a watch the and it seems as if the single pictures move in unequal durations. Weird?
    I tried an Update of Quicktime and tested the whole thing with a new Keynote document only programmed for this syncing purpose. No success...
    Maybe help lies in the intelligent animation tool or something like this which would help, otherwise it should be no great deal, to have the Pages properly changed each 4s.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    All the best
    Tim

    Hi Kelly,
    after a while...
    yeah I do it like this. I record the whole thing with screenflow, as Kenote does a good resolution full screen.
    I would like to export certain sections of my full grouped objects Image. I can refit it on a smaller paper size record this cutout full screen with Screenflow in high resolution, so far so good - but:
    The problem is, when I use smaller paper sizes, the whole Object gets automatically scaled and  the relations of the grouped Object are lost. Is ist possible to keep the absolute values  of the objects (1cm stays 1 cm) when I switch to different sizes of the paper.
    Thanks for your answer...
    Best wishes
    Merry Christmas

  • IPhone is not cataloguing music correctly under Artists

    I'm using an iPhone 4 connecting to a new Mac running Lion. My iTunes on my computer catalogues my music correctly by artist, but when I sync to my phone, some (but NOT all) of my music doesn't show up under the "Artists" section in the "Music" app on my phone. The music IS THERE--If I go to to the "Albums" section or the "Songs" section it shows up by album/song but the artist is not listed underneath it.
    Here's an example:
    I have many concerts/"albums" of the Grateful Dead that I've downloaded for free over many years. Some of these DO show up in the Artists as follows:
    Grateful Dead>Fillmore West>2-11-1970
    But others will NOT show up under the Artists section. They only show up in Albums.
    So in other words, I can't find these concerts/albums if I try to search by Artist because THEY AREN'T LISTED, even though they are in the phone!
    The other thing I've noticed is that if I look in Albums, these particular ones will show up as follows:
    Boston Garden 9-25-1991
    but the words "Grateful Dead" don't appear below the name of the concert/album as they should.
    The ones that show up correctly under Artists have the words "Grateful Dead" under them when I view them in Albums. So there is something about the coding that is incorrect which prevents these particular albums to have the words Grateful Dead, and therefore they aren't listed when I look in Artists.
    I have tried in iTunes to group by compiliation, create gapless albums, etc. and even retyped the name and artist name of each of the ones I'm having trouble with. But nothing seems to work. The Apple Store suggested I wipe out my phone and reinstall from my back up but that seems a bit extreme.
    I CAN search my music via the Albums section and just bypass the whole "Artists" section altogether but I feel like there should be a solution to this. I know this is a very particular, detailed problem but would appreciate any help you can offer!
    Thank you!

    I'm also having this issue - I'm getting about 27GB of garbage data put into the iPhone's 'other' category
    iPhone 5 64GB
    iTunes 11.4
    MBP 10.8.5
    iTunes is set to 'convert larger songs to 128k AAC', and it's trying to sync a 9,500 song library which is a mixture of aiff, wav, mp3, m4p and a couple of m4v.
    Previously these all fit on my iPhone a treat. Left iTunes last night after already having transferred around 7000 of them - iTunes informed me i'd have nearly 10GB space remaining. Came back this morning and iTunes shows my phone is now 15GB over capacity. It shows all the library has synced though - no greyed out songs.
    When I go to the phone, that says it has 7GB space remaining and only 1700 songs synced. in the music app itself, there's very few songs in there. Looking in Settings>General>Usage, there's no visibility of where that 27GB is being used up. Music category is only 11GB (which should be more like 38GB).
    Please help I've wiped and resynced my phone 3 times now, it's driving me mental: I just want to listen to music. I've never had this issue with Android's drag n drop.

  • Does the Iphone 3G support music playback via a bluetooth headset?

    Hi All,
    Does the Iphine 3g support music playback via a bluetooth headset at all, I suspect not...

    It's been on many a user's requested feature list since the first iPhone, and people were disappointed when it didn't show up on the 3G. The adaptor he links to will get the job done.
    I have to admit I've demoed a couple of bluetooth stereo headsets, and the music sounded awful. Perhaps it's improved, but for this reason it's not a feature I've personally wished was included.

  • Problem with iTunes Music Playback

    Hi, I like using itunes but im having a problem with the music playback. If i have just itunes running and some background programs i.e. anti-virus playback of music is fine but I want to be able to surf the web, and play my games while listening to music. However when i try to so this the sound becomes muffled, choppy and can skip and slow down all in all its impossible to listen to. I thought this may be a problem with my PC but its not a slow one. I tried Windows Media Player and while browsing the net, playing my games etc playback was perfect. Also ive done everything on this page> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 but still had no luck. Now i will use media play if i have to much i much prefer itunes ans it has all my libary sorted out. Any help would be brilliant.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Even though you LOVE iTunes, there are many other programs out there that don't require extra software to be installed for it to function....there by freeing up your CPU to run more programs.
    I would seriously look into trying something different that doesn't need to hog so much system resources....until they reduce their program's needs.
    Try something like Winamp or Musicmatch Jukebox.
    You can have your library to show up pretty much the same way that they do in iTunes. You'll just have to read through the user guides to get it exactly the way you want it.

  • ICal alarm turns on music playback

    I have an iPod Touch with the iPhone headphones that I leave plugged in when I put the iPod on my desk for the day. Since I sync my iCal calendar to the iPod for reference, it brings up reminder alarms on the iPod from time to time during the day. I'd like to be able to turn off the iPod calendar alarms, but I don't mind them so much.
    What I do mind is that when the calendar alarm fires, music playback pops on. Once I notice a loud song playing through the headphones laying on my desk I need to turn the thing on to turn the music off.

    Presuming that is not active?
    Another way - allow the music to play for a bit
    Then unlock the phone and use app switcher - double tap of home button - to see what all is running - while mail or weather apps may not be able to play music - I am sure you will find something in there that was

  • Slow Music Playback When Typing SB Live

    Howdo
    I'm hoping someone could help me out with a problem I am having with my SB li've 5.
    When playing mp3's through any software and typing at the same time (like now) the music playback becomes juddery. I have tried increasing the processor priorty on the music playing software but no joy.
    There is loads of memory left and processor time, i have a athlon 2.6 and 256mb of ram.
    ANY help is very welcome as im a uni student so this is killing me when im working!!
    Cheers very much
    Ryan

    sirweste,
    256MB of RAM seems a little low for Windows XP and that processor, but I'm still not sure how simple typing would be causing that much of a difference. Have you tried clean installing your soundcard into an alternati've PCI slot just in case some type of resource conflict is occurring?

  • IPod freezes randomly for a few secs during music playback

    Hi,
    My 'iPod Classic 160' is playing up of late.
    It started a few months ago. During music playback, it would freeze for a 'fraction' of a second randomly but as time has gone on, it freezes for up to 5 secs now. I've used iTunes to 'restore' my iPod and have the latest firmware updates, but still the same problem. I use MP4 for music.

  • Bluetooth Buzz during music playback - iPhone 6

    I am using an iPhone 6 - paired to a pioneer FH-X720BT car stereo.  About 5 minutes after bluetooth music playback starts I get a very loud buzz for about 5 seconds.  A moment after this all sound stops for a second.  Then music resumes.  This does not repeat until the stereo is turned off and then on again.  Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it.  Is it a Pioneer stereo problem or is it an iPhone 6 problem?  I have not had the same problem with an older iPhone 4s.

    Same issue here with iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.3 and now with iOS 8.2.  New Pioneer DEH6700BS.  Took back to shop and had new deck replaced - SAME ISSUE. Mine is around 7:30 minute and same drop out right after that as you are seeing.  I have tested with iPod Touch and my son's iPhone 5C and I don't get this issue despite multiple testing scenarios.  Looks like the common denominator is the iPhone 6.

  • I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "P" appear under the "R" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs

    I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "A" appear under the "B" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs and genres. It suddenly happened after about 3 days of iOS 5 usage. Re-synchronization doesn't help. I also tried deleting some artists from ipod, but it doesn't help either.

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again
