Out of order songs

I don't know how this is happening, but some songs on a few albums have gone out of order. This has been going on since I got the new iTunes. When I bring up iTunes it shows that all the songs are in the right order, but when I unplug it and play it It shows some songs are out of order. It's really annoying when you just want to hear an album all the way through, and the intro song is now song three.
I have a 60gig Video iPod, can anyone help me?

maybe i missed something here. But heres my $0.02
you cannot change the order in the library it is true, except by sort.
you can change the order in playlists by simple drag 'n' drop.
So if this makes sense to you then you can ignore the order in the library (no more reimporting). You can then just set up a playlist and order them by column sort OR just drag and drop them into the order you want.
hope that helps

Ordering songs on my list

I wrote a list of songs I want to play IN ORDER on a new list I'm creating. The songs are imported from a shared file of previously downloaded mp3 129kbps songs. I select my first choice, drag it to my list, and naturally it becomes song #1 on my new list. Number 2 drags over and becomes #2 on my list. Then my 3rd song drags over and becomes the new #1 song, pushing the others down. The my #4 dragged song becomes the new #2, pushing the others down further. What is going on? I want these songs to be in a specific order, and the software puts them whereever it pleases and screws it all up. I deleted the out of order songs from my list, then checked every possible option in iTunes, but I still can't get them to go in the order I want. What's wrong here?

Creat a blank playlist you want, on the side where the numbers appear hit that header. NOW drag the songs over and they should add the way you want them

Songs out of order?

I recently imported several CDs to my iTunes library, and for some reason, some of the songs are appearing out of order. I have read the discussions regarding this on the message board (probably not all, but four or so?), and it doesn't seem to be the same reason everyone else is encountering. A few notes detail the problem:
- There's one album where the track list is: 10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... 9, 11, 12 (in order except Track 10), and a few others with the same issue (albiet different track number out of order)
- The album in question is only by one artist. I have group-changed the artist, album and album artist fields to the same value for all tracks. So it's not a guest-artist issue.
- I have marked the album as a compilation, to no effect. This worked great on many multi-artist albums, but didn't help here.
- All tracks of the CD are marked as being within one CD (there isn't the horizontal line that desigates different albums).
- The tracks appear in order when I sort by Artist; however, this breaks up the compilations elsewhere in the library, so I really want to use Album by Artist.
- Changing the view format to adjust options did not help either, and this seems strange enough that I'm surprised it helped for someone else in the past.
- Closing and reloading iTunes also had no effect.
Any thoughts on how to make them appear in order in the Album by Artist view?

Songs displaying out of order in new iTunes

Despite proper track numbers on all the songs, tracks still display out of order when viewing them. Here is an album where the proper track numbers are showing but each song is in a completely random order. Note that shuffle is not enabled.
I've attempted to fix this by adjusting settings in the View menu and clicking and dragging. Nothing helps.
Any tips would be very much appriciated.

Hey Kilima,
THANK YOU! The problem was that some of the songs were labeled as "Album 1 of 1" while other songs had this information completely missing. This didn't affect the track listings in the old iTunes, but got distorted when I upgraded.
Thanks again!

No arkwork and songs out of order

ok i think im not the only but i want this say to me in lameman terms lol, ok so i have everything checked with the artwork on my ipod and it wont let me load any artwork on my ipod, it shows up in my librey and my music part of itunes but when i disconnect my ipod and play it no artwork shows up.
now sense i updated everything on my ipod alot of my songs are out of order, there fine on itunes and in the librey but not on my ipod can someone help me out?
or are we going to have to wait till itunes 8?

There is a quicker way to restore your mixed up
artwork....
Connect ipod to computer,when ipod screen displays
click on
music tab (top center),untick 'Display album artwork
on your ipod' at the bottem of the list and press
'Apply' let it complete,then disconnect ipod.
Now repeat the above,only this time tick the box that
says
'Display album artwork on your ipod' and 'Apply'.This
works for my 30gig 5G with itunes 7 every time.
That only works if all your Ipod music is still in your Itunes library. When you deselect to view your album artwork on your Ipod and click APPLY, then all your album art gets deleted from your Ipod. When you re-apply to allow album art to be displayed on your Ipod it will only grab what is currently in your Itunes library.
Assuming you don't get that Error 50 message.
I had to reimport all the music and videos from my Ipod into Itunes then sync my Ipod to my Itunes library. Now I have all the album artwork without issue. But I have a 60GB hard drive and a 60GB Ipod. So doing that in the future won't work unless I buy an extra hard drive.

All the songs are out of order on my albums. Does anyone know why?

On almost every album on my iPad the songs are out of order. Yesterday I deleted 6 of the albums, synced to iTunes and reinstalled them. When I opened them on the iPad they were in the correct order. I closed the iPad and ran an errand, came back and open the iPad again only to see all the songs once again out of order. I can't figure out what the problem is. I don't have this problem on my iPhone or either of my iPods, only on the iPad. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

IPad Album songs scramble out of order on IOS7

I am having this same problem.

Songs on album are out of order on iPod

Hi,
I recently upgraded my 4th generation iPod to a 30GB video iPod. With some albums, the songs will be out of order on the iPod (i.e. songs 1, 6, and 8 will come before the rest). The only thing I've been able to figure out thats different is the file type (AAF vs. MP3, for example). Is there any way to have the iPod organize the songs in order of track number instead of file type?

If they will not load in the correct order under all songs, one work around is to create a playlist and you can put them in any order you want.

Songs out of order on purchased album?

This is a recent problem for me, but it's happening all the time lately. Here's the issue: the songs in my purchased folder are sorted by date downloaded, but in the past, when I've purchased an entire album from iTunes, the songs appear grouped in album order.
Lately, though, they come into my purchased folder completely out of order. It's annoying on a couple of levels. One, I like to play recently played albums in their entirety straight from my purchased playlist; two, it makes it impossible to "make playlist from selection" and have the songs in the proper album order.
Don't know how this problem started, but I'd really like to fix it.

When you import or download albums they don't necessarily get added in track order, or reverse track order. I've a script for Windows which can remove and reimport tracks to sort them correctly but that's not going to help on your Mac. You may need to remove all the tracks and then reimport them one at a time first to last or last to first depending on whether you want you most recent albums at the end or the beginning of the list.

Song order in itunes is out of order, can't fix with get info as apple suggests

I recently got a new 160gb Ipod and noticed when i synced with my itunes library that a lot of my albums are out of order. looked around trying to fix myself, but the suggestion to go to 'get info' tab and fix song order is not working. Noticed that the date on a lot of the albums is 1969 despite the fact that they are newer albums

Song list out of order?

I've placed my Five Finger Death Punch album on my iPod, but the songs are out of order. Song 4 and 9 are showing as 1 and 2 on the iPod, while on my iTunes it's all correct.

The albums are alphabetical, but the songs aren't. Otherwise the list would be completely screwed up.
Song 4 is titled "The Bleeding," while song 9 is "Death Before Dishonor." Song 1 on the album is "Ashes." So it's not a case of alphabetizing.
I had purchased the singles for The Bleeding and Detha/Dishonor before buying the full album, but I had iTunes delete the duplicate songs when I added the full album to my library.

When I burn a disk from my playlist the songs are out of order. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure but I think you create your play order manually then select the playlist, right click it (or use ctrl+click) & select "Copy to play order".
I think when you burn that playlist it should obey that order, it has been so long since I made a mix CD that I'm not certain, good luck.

Burned playlist to data DVD; song out of order

Why would "Burn Playlist to Disk' change the order of the songs in a playlist? Mine came our sorted by album name...not in the order I created in the playlist.
Have I got some setting wrong?

by album. I've tried all the variations of "album" too, by clicking on it a few times.
But I just discovered that if I don't have the track number listed in the Info section, that it gets out of order. I've manually changed a few and it has worked. Just wish I got it before it went into the system.

My itunes arranges some songs out of order. why?!

I' m having trouble with my Itunes and playlists. Also, some songs get cut off suddenly and stop playing. What can I do?
