Permanently connecting 2 songs when in shuffle mode

I am wanting to ensure that certain songs are played back to back when in shuffle mode. Example - Tool Parabol and Parabola.

You can only do this, with adjacent tracks on a CD, by selecting Join CD Tracks at the import stage. In other words, you will have to import them again from the CD and when the CD shows up in iTunes, highlight the two tracks and select Advanced/Join CD Tracks.
You cannot do this after importing the CD and I know of no way to join two songs purchased from the iTunes Store, or imported from another source.

    SHuffle does not play songs in a truly random fashion.  Like all computer related random generators the sequence is pseudo-random

  • How can I step backwards when in shuffle mode, without reshuffling?

    How can I step backwards though my previously played songs when in shuffle mode, without reshuffling the order of the songs?

    It shouldn't change the order when you step back.

  • Songs skip on shuffle mode

    My songs are skiping when in shuffle mode selected from the main menu of the ipod classic. Once i get to the 20th or so song in list (e.g 20/1190) it begins to skip by itself and will not allow me to play the current song and stop it. Please help!
    Thanks

    Fixed it now. Just had to restore ipod via computer and itunes.

  • Keping multi-part songs together in Shuffle mode

    Songs consisting of more parts and therefore files are interrupted suddenly when you use the shuffle mode to play parts or all of your library/collection. Is there a way to solve this, e.g. in iTunes or bij melting the song parts together.
    Or is there another program with which you can do this?
    laptop   Windows XP  

    it's possible to do, but it involves reimporting those songs as a single track, using "advanced > join CD tracks".
    for the technique, and troubleshooting advice, see:

  • My Ipod Nano keeps repeating songs while in shuffle mode

    As the thread title states.My settings are on for shuffle when I shake my ipod,but thre same song repeats itself unless I fast forward to the next song.Which then repeats itself.Any help would be very much appreciated..

    Have you got the settings on iTunes to how you want? Often the iPod carries over these settings. If you are not aware of the second music menu when you are playing music, it has the shuffle icon, repeat icon and Genius icon. You have to tap whilst looking at an album cover, and then slide to the side to get to it. If that isnt the case, in settings, there is a section where it asks you what you would like to shuffle, songs, artists, albums or whatnot. You may want to switch that off.

  • Same songs repeat in shuffle mode

    I have my playlist set to shuffle but I'm hearing the same songs over and over, while other songs never get played at all. There are about 250 songs on the list and I'm hearing the same 100 all the time (roughly). I am thinking there is some smart setting in iTunes that I need to untick or correct, but no idea where it could be. I know other people have had similar problems in the past and if anyone knows how to fix this problem with the current iTunes software and could tell me...thank you!

    Make sure the Skip When Shuffling option is not enabled on these tracks in iTunes. To check, right->click on a track or tracks and choose Get Info. When the GI window appears, click the Options tab.  Here you will find the Skip When Shuffling option.

  • Song introductions in Shuffle Mode

    I like the shuffle feature. But is there a way to group the introductions with the songs, so they can play together? Or group any two songs, like how some songs should be played together? Such as the Beattle's Sgt Pepper and With A Little Help From My Friends, or Queen's We Are The Champions and We Will Rock You. Thank you.

    In my case it play randomly the same subset os songs.
    On a baseline of about 300 songs, it always randomly play the same 20 (more or less), playing two songs of same artist one immediately after the other.
    When I'm bored, I've to delete all songs from ipod (6th gen.), break sync, and re-establish sync with desidered playlist. (re-upload)
    I'm facing this issue since 6 months and FW is up to date.

  • Grouping Songs in Shuffle mode?

    Does anyone know if there's a way to "link" or group songs together so when in shuffle mode they play one after another? I have some songs that are multiple parts and are saved as multiple files(like many classical pieces are), but I don't ever want to here just a single part or section when in shuffle mode.
    Len

    Further to Len's post, can anyone give me some tips on exactly how to rip and link songs or parts of songs to create one track that can then be shuffled on iPod (I have the same problem as Len). Can this be done in iTunes, or do I need some other software? Can you recommend any, if that's the case?
    Isn't it a bit odd that iTunes has the ability to shuffle groupings but the iPod doesnt?
    Thanks

  • Sequential songs in Shuffle mode?

    I have several songs with intros on another track, is there a way I can make them play in sequence as one track when in Shuffle mode?

    Same problem here to an extent. Some info:
    First iteration iPod shuffle 3G
    iPod firmware 1.1
    iTunes 9.0.3 on Windows XP
    I started out with one big playlist like I used to use on my previous shuffle, this played in order.
    I loaded multiple (many, actually) playlists and also added music by artist, this seemed to negate the playlists that were on there. The playlist menu only says "All Songs" now. Songs don't play in order even with the switch in the "in order" position. Mayhem in other words.
    So I removed everything that wasn't a playlist, and now I'm back to having playlists again and songs do play in order.
    Logic seems to say that if you add music that isn't part of a playlist, it does 2 things:
    1. You can't scroll through playlists anymore because they don't show up in the menu (it just says "All Songs").
    2. Songs don't play in order.
    Not a super duper good start with this one, maybe it will get fixed at some point though... Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
    Despite the name "shuffle", I do want to listen to songs in order as they show up on albums.

  • In shuffle mode, playing a multi-part song.

    In shuffle mode, I have some "songs" that are really parts of one long song. How can I play this song correctly in shuffle mode?

    How would ANY player know that a single song file is part of a larger song?
    The only way is, if there's a tag built into the song, which I haven't seen yet.
    Your best bet, if you don't want to re-rip the entire track, is to simply use a 3rd party app and join the songs together. Unfortunately, unless the original rips were spot on the beginnings and ends, you're going to have to fidget with it to get them to sound seamless. However, some rips will prevent that, no matter what you do, short of re-ripping the entire song.

  • Shuffle 3G is 'stuck' in straight play and won't switch to shuffle mode.

    The shuffle when in shuffle mode shuffles the songs reasonably randomly and when i staright mode, I can access all my playlists BUT if i switch from shuffle to straight and the want to switch back to shuffle the problem begins. The shuffle will then only play straight mode in either position of the switch, ie straight or shuffle position and the only way to correct it is to connect the shuffle to itunes [not do a restore] until the sync is complete [a matter of seconds]. I have tried resetting the shuffle and moving the switch from shuffle to straight and the back to shuffle [page 21 of the manual] and neither make any difference.I have restored the unit a bout 3 times and it still happens.
    So, why is this happening? Is there something i should be doing? Or do i need to change the shuffle? I have even used different earphones [Apple and 3rd party with Belkin Adapter] and that makes no difference either. Help and advice please

    I prefer the 7th Generation Nano and Bluetooth headset. Get plugs for the heaphone and lightning jack or put it in water resistant case to prevent perspiration from killing it. You can turn off shake to shuffle in settings.

  • Keeping certain tracks together in Shuffle mode

    I have some live music (would like to import it in AAF format) that is tracked but I want to keep certain tracks together as "one track" when in shuffle mode.  I don't mind if I need to make a new second track that is this one long connected track, but need an easy way to do it so that it sounds seamless.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know if this would be seamless enough for your needs, but try using Groups. You can assign tracks to a group be using the "Get Info" window (cmd+I) info tab to assign a grouping.
    To choose whether iTunes shuffles by songs, albums, or groupings, choose Controls > Shuffle > [Option].
    If you select “by Albums” or “by Groupings,” iTunes plays the songs in the order in which they appear on the album or in the grouping, and then chooses another album or grouping at random.

    If you go to the Now Playing screen, the Repeat control is the the arrowed racetrack icon on the left side right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to change. It is white when Repeat is off.

    have an Ipod Touch and when I activate the shuffle mode it keeps replaying the same song.  How do I fix this problem?

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?
    By the way, this is the iPod Shuffle forum.  Since you have an iPod Touch, you should have posted this in the iPod Touch forum.
