No shuffle per album

My iPod Classic 80 Go will not perform shuffle per album (whatever the setting, it will perform it by song). Can anybody help fix it ? Thank you.

Michael...
Your app looks intriguing, but I have 400+ albums on my Touch and it's a wide variety of music so when I am in the mood for Pearl Jam I would not want Yo-Yo-Ma to pop up randomly. What I would really like and I think would be a killer app type feature is to load a playlist into your app, hit randomize and go. I would even be happy to keep shuffle playlists down to 12 albums!
I typically select an artist or a mood or an era to start with and I never shuffle or even listen to just songs... only albums.
Can it be done?

TS2776 Iphone library syncing only first song per album

Help, My Iphone was wiped after multiple failed password entry attempts, the phone was protected by NSA level security software, and after adding a Survivor protective case, I was mistyping one of the didgets.I was able to restore my purchased apps from my iTunes purchase history, but all of my music, short of a few songs were imported from my hundreds of CD's. My husband has the same music on his phone, yet not quite as much, as his phone is a 32, while mine is a 64. Rather than take the hours of Homesharing the music to my iTunes, since we both use backup drives for out computers, I thought it much simpler to simply plug his Back up into my PC, and copy the Music file to my iTuned folder.Yeas... This was quite abit faster, and all of the music is avaiable to listen to on my PC via iTunes.
Ok, here is my issue, When I sinc my phone all of the artists, as well as albums show up on my phone, however only the first song per album is available to play via the phone, all other songs have a square within a circle to the right of the song title, as if it is in download mode.
I turned on automatic download over wifi, and even tried clicking on the links showing, they change to a circle, and then teturn to cntaining a square, Is there a way to fix this issue, or do I have to go CD by CD and manually import the music all over again, as it will be several days work.
I normally consider myself to be very good at solving computer issues, but this has me baffled, has anyone got an idea ?

I've been having the same problem after I restored my iPhone. It's been nearly 8 months since vaporwave first posted this question and, so far, it hasn't been addressed by Apple in an update. It's sad that we have to find a workaround for this issue, especially because it's not the ideal solution (checking each artist probably means I'll end up with all of their songs, including some that I don't want in my iPhone).

Shuffling iPod albums through iTunes7

Hi everyone,
I am ready to tear my hair out - since upgrading to iTunes 7, I can no longer shuffle by album when playing songs from my iPod. What I like to do is keep all of my music on the iPod and listen to music with the iPod in disk mode. The iTunes library works fine - it remembers my sort settings, it shuffles randomly by album (as I have it set to do), it keeps the browser window open. However when I switch to my iPod device, it does not do any of those things. Every time I plug my iPod in, the browser is closed, the sort order is back to a default, and when I try to shuffle by album, it just starts playing the first song on the list and goes straight through! I have checked to make sure the Preferences are set correctly (they are), and I have ensured that the shuffle button in the bottom left corner is lit.
I know I saw posts about this when iTunes 7 first came out, and as far as I can tell nothing has been done about it. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper; in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

Random play mode stuck in "per Album"

Hi,
I have this issue for a long time now and I'm starting to think it comes from my iTunes Library DB itself because I've imported it from my previous mac and it keeps doing the random mode per album.
No matter what I choose, when I'm in the library, if I enable the random play, it will always play the whole album, even if I've selected the "per tracks" mode.
Can someone provide support, please ?

Someone has an idea ?
Edit :
As a workaround, I was thinking about reseting the whole iTunes DB but I really don't want to lose playcounts, rankings and playlists (this DB has 4 years with more than 1000 albums).

Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

Classical Music and Shuffle by Album

Because multi-movement pieces do not lend themselves to track-by-track shuffling, I've treated each of my classical pieces as separate albums. For example, I have:
I. Allegro Agitato

Grieg: Sonata for Piano & Cello in A minor, Opus 36
1883
Sonata
II. Andante Molto Tranquillo
6:35
David Finckel, cello • Wu Han, piano
Grieg: Sonata for Piano & Cello in A minor, Opus 36
1883
Sonata
III. Allegro: Allegro Molto e Marcato
11:46
David Finckel, cello • Wu Han, piano
Grieg: Sonata for Piano & Cello in A minor, Opus 36
1883
Sonata
III. Intermezzo: Allegro molto marcato - Allegro agitato
6:40
Oslo String Quartet
Grieg: String Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Opus 27
1878
String Quartet
IV. Finale: Lento - Presto al saltarello
9:31
Oslo String Quartet
Grieg: String Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Opus 27
1878
String Quartet
I. Allegretto
10:09

Here I have three works, each setup as an album. So, when I listen to playlists like this (imagine it being much longer), what I want to do is Shuffe by Album so I can listen to each work in its entirety in order. On the Mac, iTunes supports this, but on iOS devices, it does not appear to be possible to do this. All shuffling under iOS takes place at the track level. Am I just missing something?
I do have the Shuffle By Album app, but (a) it doesn't work on Apple TV and (b) it doesn't know about playlists, so I can use it to shuffle by album all my music, but not selected playlists. Is there a solution to this?
Thanks,
Dave

It's worse than I thought. The playlists on my iPad are in crap order. This as close to useless as I can imagine. Why is this feature still not available?

7.0.1 shared library/shuffle by album bug

Has anyone encountered this issue?
I have run into a very bizarre bug since upgrading to iTunes 7.0. It was not fixed in 7.0.1.
I have a large iTunes library shared from my Power Mac G5. Our household has two Mac laptops (1 MB, 1 MBP) from which we play that shared music through various Airport Expresses. We mostly listen to classical music (i.e. multi-movement/track works), so I organize the music collection with the work name in the Album field and then Shuffle by Album within the classical playlist.
Since upgrading to 7.0, the machine refuses to Shuffle by Album -- but only when playing from a playlist from a shared library. Instead, it will begin with the first album and play them in alphabetical order. Playing the same playlist, shuffled by album, locally on the sharing G5 works as expected. As I like to listen to my music in exactly this way this is a very irritating bug for me.
Another related but less irritating bug: when playing from this same shared library set to "Shuffle by Album," hitting "Play" while nothing is playing will play the first album alphabetically in the list, no matter what is selected. If I want to play a different track I have to select it and then double-click it.
Dual 1.8 G5, 15" CD MBP, white MB Mac OS X (10.4.8) iTunes 7.0.1

I have also experienced this problem, but it has acted a little different.
I have a large music library stored on an external hardrive (Lacie d2 Extreme) & have my iTunes playback settings for shuffle by album. I don't use playlists, I only like iTUnes to shuffle playback from my entire library.
iTUnes will begin @ song 2 or 3 of the album, play a couple songs from the album & then move to another album without playing the 1st album in it's entirety.
This is extremely annoying. Please help, anyone.

How to shuffle on albums and not the individual tracks on albums

This is breaking my head.
I have ripped my CD's in iTunes and now i have a large number of songs.
I have a playlist that is uploaded to my iPod Shuffle.
But my Q is:
How can i shuffle on my iPod shuffle between albums instead of the individual songs.
I have seen the playback options in the advanced section saying shoffle by Album. But that options does not appear to have any effect on the shuffling on my iPod.
Any ideas
Thanks
Jitse

If you want to shuffle a single album go to Settings
-> Shuffle and set to Songs.
The go to Music -> Albums (or Music -> Artists->
Albums), select an album then press Play.
If you want to play albums at random, Settings ->
Shuffle - Album.
When you play anything, it will play a song at
randiom, then play in order the songs on that album
(if it start at song #3, it will play #3 thru end)
then go to another random song in the selection and
play the remainder of that album.
All well and good... B U T the OP (and this thread) was talking about doing it on a Shuffle:
"...I have a playlist that is uploaded to my iPod Shuffle.
But my Q is:
How can i shuffle on my iPod shuffle between albums instead of the individual songs..."
Get it?

If I want to load my shuffle with albums, do I make each one a named playlist? How many playlists can be used?

If I want to load my shuffle with albums, do I make each album a "named playlist"?
If so, can I use any number of playlist I want, or is there a limit on playlist numbers?

If you want to be able to call up an album of your choosing at any time, then yes, the best option is to make a playlist for each album. I have not seen a limit, just remember that when choosing, you will be "scrolling" through them alphabetically, so the real limit is on your patience (you can use the buttons to move forward or backward more quickly).

Question: How many photos can you have per album?

I am a new ipad user and I am curious as to how many photos I can have per album? Thanks in advance.

We'll have a look at three different issues.
- If you want to carry over your tags structure from one catalog to a new one created for the new year, use the small dropdown menu in the title bar of the keywords panel. There is an option to copy the tags and categories structure to a text file. There is another option you'll use when you have created the new empty catalog: it will recreate the same structure of categories and keywords.
- The catalog is hidden by default. I don't know if you can make that folder visible in the Mac, but you can move or copy it to another visible location in your file structure from the finder. The catalog copy will be found in 'custom' location from the catalog manager. Alternatively, you can shut the Organizer and double click on the catalog.pse10db file to open the organizer with the catalog copy.
- I have already reported the bug about not being able to delete a big number of files at the same time. It's sort of acknowledged, but without any clear hope of solution. When I upgraded to PSE13 in Windows, I could see that there was an improvement due to the fact that it is now a 64 bits application which can use all of my 8 GB RAM. The problem is that the process uses all the available RAM progressively, and aborts when there is no more. So, we should avoid workflows implying mass deletions.

Shuffle-by-album feature!

Hi Folks,
I have an iPod nano 2nd generation for about 5 years now, and perhaps the feature I use most is having shuffle configured to albuns, so I can listen different albuns like in a playlist, yet going sequentially on the album songs. I've recently got a 6th generation iPod nano and I was very fustrated when I figured out that this feature has gone. Is there a particular reason for that? Is there a plan for having that feature?
Regards,

Shuffle-by-album means: play all the songs on the album in order, and then find a completely different album. Lather, rinse, repeat.
In the old itunes, it was pretty simple. Select some set of albums over which to shuffle. Turn on shuffle by albums. Press Play. Old Itunes also appears to have had a pheechur to skip to the next album, cntrl-alt-meta-shift-fast-forward (or something). I never used it, never knew about it, although I always wanted it. You could also click on any song in any album and it'd play all the rest of the songs in that album and then shuffle on to the next album (a usage model much loved by a different participant in this discussion).
The new itunes doesn't seem to have the skip-to-next-album pheechur.
Getting to shuffle-by-albums is a little baroque in the new itunes--the best we've come up with so far is: create a playlist w/all albums over which to shuffle, and then turn on shuffle-by-album on the new playlist, then press play. The new playlist should be named in such a way to appropriately express your frustration with the new itunes.

Shuffle by Album on 7th generation Nano

My old 3rd generation Nano included a "Shuffle by Album" feature which chose a random album, played track 1 through the last track, then chose another random album, and so on. I like this feature because it allows me to listen to music continuously while cycling rather than stopping to choose a new album when the current album completes.
I just bought a 7th generation Nano and have been unable to find the "Shuffle by Album" feature. Does it exist in this version? If so, how do I turn on "Shuffle by Album"?

Have the exact same problem on my nano g6.
from older posts: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2573122, It seems like Apple had "Shuffle by album" function removed.

Did iTunes 11 lose "shuffle by album" feature, or am I just too dumb to find it?

Hi there! I updated to itunes 11 this morning, and ordinarily liked to use "shuffle by albums" when listening to my music, but can't seem to find that feature anywhere. Am I not looking in the right places, or has this feature been cruelly snatched from my expectant fingers?
