Order of Playing Songs

I just down loaded an album from the itunes store. However, the songs are listed in my library in reverse order. This is a sound track, so the order of listening to the songs is important. How do I reverse the order in my Library?

Single click on the Song number column header. It should be to the left of the Name column. The number column does not have a title in it. See the picture below.
Also, check to make sure the track numbers are correct in the "info" tab of the songs' get info window. Select a song and ⌘-I or "File-Get Info".

  • Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

    Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.  This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes.  If I just hit play, this doesnt happen.  As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order.  Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it.  When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example).  But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason.  Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening.  Any thoughts?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

  • My ipod is not playing the correct order of my songs in playlists

    You may have tapped the Shuffle button (looks like two arrows crossing path) in Blue.  Tap it once again to turn it off.

  • How can you get the car stereo to play songs on nano in order?

    Hi--I just got an ipod nano and connect it to my car stereo via a usb port.  No matter what controls I try (on the car) it just plays songs in alphabetical order of the song (regardless of the album title).  How can I get it to play in the order I want (like one album at a time)?

    Mine does. If you can browse by artist, album or song titles, chances are it can brwose through playlists as well. Also make sure that you don't have shuffle selected.
    The iPod should play songs in the order that they are listed on the display.

  • ITunes plays songs in the wrong order

    For the past few weeks iTunes has insisted on jumping all over the place when playing songs. It plays randomly, but only from the same artist. If I'm playing an album, it doesn't go automatically from track 1 to 2, but seems to select the next track completely randomly.
    I've tried sorting the songs by artist, track number, album etc. but the problem persists. Yesterday I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, but that didn't help either.
    Thanks in advance for advice and help!

    I use iTunes and built in look up as well and it sort my library in album order. However this is assuming you sort the library by artist (click on the artist heading to sort by artist). And then within artist is will sort by album name alphabetically and within each album by album order.
    Just checked and if I sort my library by album, albums get listed in alphabetical order but again, within the album it is in album order.
    Grace Notes (CDDB) should fill in the track number and total number of tracks for you automatically.
    So back to your last question, I am not sure what you mean exactly. Are we talking about sorting the library as a whole or do you mean specifically within Playlists?

  • Can i make my ipod play songs in a particular order?  If so, how?

    I want to create a playlist that plays song in a specific order, but iTunes seems to only sort the songs by the headings in the playlist, artist, title, song, etc. Can I make it play the songs in the order i want to hear them?

    You can drag the songs in a playlist into any order you want. Open iTunes and go to your playlist, click at the top of the number column (far left) to highlight it, click on any song and drag it to the position you want. Once the playlist is how you want it, update the iPod.

  • Need help: playing songs in order, strangewindow message, upgrading I-Tunes

    I have 2 situations I hope someone can help me with:
    1: PLAYING SONGS IN ORDER; WINDOW MESSAGE
    I have CDs of music that when I load them onto my pc laptop the song names don’t come up—each song lists as “track 01” “track 02” etc.
    When I try to play the album thru I-Tunes on my laptop, the songs won’t play in order. i.e. ALL the “track 02”s will play before going to “track 03,” then ALL the “track 03”s will play, etc. So I made a playlist of each CD.
    Now when I try to play the Playlist, I get a window message that says, “The song “Track 01” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?” I can choose ‘yes’ or ‘cancel.’ YES takes me to folder selections. I find the song and click on it and then it plays.
    There must be an easier way. I don’t want to search for each song one at a time in order to play an entire CD in order.
    2: UPGRADE
    I need to upgrade. I have I-TUNES 7.0.2. I went online to apple.com and couldn’t find any upgrade option, so I clicked on “download I-tunes”. I got a window that says “download complete.” But how do I tell if it’s really installed? Where do I go on my computer to see what version number it shows?
    Any help is appreciated,
    Carolyn in Las Vegas

    1. You have done something that has confused iTunes about the location of the files in its library. Without knowing what happened, it's hard to make a specific recommendation, but if you moved your files around manually, move them back, and then, if you want to change the location, do it only by setting it in iTunes preferences and then using Consolidate Library.

  • Does anyone know how to authroize my computer in order to play my songs??

    Does anyone know how to authorize my computer in order to play my songs??

    For songs, this should only happen to songs purchased from the iTunes Store that were purchase more than a few years ago, when the songs had DRM (copy protection).  More recent song purchases from the iTunes Store do not have DRM.
    To authorize your computer, from the iTunes menu bar, under Store, select Authorize This Computer.  When prompted, enter the Apple ID (with password) used to purchase the songs.  If your currently used Apple ID is different, one computer can be authorized for more than one Apple ID, so that is not a problem.
    Each Apple ID can be authorized with up to five computers (including computers you no longer have but did not deauthorize).  If you have reached that limit, please post back.

  • My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

    My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

    I FINALLY GOT IT! after months of relentless synching/autofilling problems on my 4th generation i figured out the solution.
    this is what i did: plugged in ipod on off mode~>manually deleting my ipod's songs~>restored factory settings~>unchecked automatic synch~>made a new playlist with exactly the songs & order i wanted for my ipod (just dragged old playlists into the new one)~>then autofilled that new playlist into my ipod. came out like a charm! (before u autofill UNCHECK random add songs)
    my ipod always ended up autofilling/synching my customized playlists wrong or it would automatically do my music library (and that was way unorganized), so this worked.

  • Playing songs out of order

    Recently and for no apparent reason my NANO began playing songs out of order in my playlists. It happens on all playlists. It doesn't jump from list to list just changes the order within the list itself. It is shuffling the songs because it if you view the playlist that is playing the songs are in the correct order, it just skips around.

    Your shuffle setting on the iPod is probably changed from OFF to "Songs" which will cause the iPod to shuffle any playlist you play on the iPod. Go to main menu of the iPod -> Settings and check.

  • How to play songs in sequential order on iPod touch 4th Gen. ?

    How do I play songs in sequential order on a specific album? Some albums should be listened to that way, for example LIVE CONCERTS or concept albums.  I have an Ipod Touch 4th Generation.  I have turned OFF shuffle play, but that did not help.

    Arrange them in a Playlist in the proper order and then just play that playlist.

  • How do I encode a song in order to play Phase?

    So first when I purchased Phase (for those who know what I am talking about)the songs werent syncing on to the game....I then fixed the problem so its cool. But now the songs on the game are grey, I read coments about converting the songs and stuff to a different format, but the songs that I purchased are blocked to change so now I have to encode them. Can anyone explain how to do that?

    You have to wait for iTunes to finish analyzing Phase playback information, then resync. That's all there is to it.
    Phase can't play songs shorter than 30 seconds or longer than 30 minutes.

  • With iTunes match, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer

    In my iTunes on computer, I have several smart play lists. Within each playlist, songs are set to a certain order. Some playlist songs order are organized by name, some playlists are organized by Album, some playlists are organized by artist etc.
    When I was syncing my iPhone and iPad directly with my computer, the playlists on my mobile device had same order of songs as on my itunes in computer.
    Now, I signed up for iTunes match. With iCloud sync, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer. In fact, order of songs within a playlist appears to be completely random. Moreover, order of songs are different in my iPhone 4s and iPad 2
    How can I change the order of songs on my mobile devices or how do I make iTunes match to sync my songs such that within a playlist, my songs are in the same order as that of iTunes on my computer.

    Thanks mracole. I assume this means order of songs will work with regular play lists I iTunes match. Will try it this afternoon and report.
    Please let me know if my understanding is not correct.
    Best regards and thanks once again.

  • How can I play songs alphabetically and not shuffled?

    My new Ipod Nano only plays songs in shuffle mode, even when I turn the "shake to shuffle" option to "off"
    I just want to play them alphabetically, any suggestions?

    I just double-checked my Nano, which is also new, and with the Shake to Shuffle turned off, if I just start playing from the "Songs" option , it plays in alphabetical order. Is that what you are doing?

  • Wont play songs on ITunes

    I cant play songs on Itunes because it says File cant be found and a lot of the songs like this have a ! next to them. Can anyone help?

    I'm not quite sure why you think you need to listen to a song in order to change the wrong info.
    You should just be able to right click on any song and select "get info" then click on "info" and then change the tag information.
    What happens when you try to play the song in iTunes?
