Play podcasts in chronological order?

How do you get iTunes to play podcasts in chronological order, automatically starting the next one when one finishes?

Put them in a playlist, arranged as you wish them to play. It's annoying to have to do this workaround, but it works.

  • Podcast in Chronological Order

    How do I set up my podcast in chronological order? Oldest to newest. My iPod does this, as it is within iTunes.

    What am I not understanding here?
    Most podcast are topical. Like news, their episodes become dated or irrelevant as time passes; therefore, the most recent episode is what most listeners want to hear. However, for those podcasts whose episodes are timeless, I found that it's possible to hear them in chronological order, but that you can't skip episodes and expect the player to play those skipped episodes later--in order--while ignoring the episodes you listened to previously.
    Is this what you want to do?

  • Sort Podcasts in Chronological order (oldest first)?

    How do i sort my podcasts in chronological order (oldest first)? The default is reverse chronological order (most recent first).
    I am able to do this in iTunes on my Mac. But this does not translate to my iPod after a synch.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    This isn't configurable on the iPod. Reverse date order is what you get. You can however make playlists with the tracks in a different order.

  • IPod Shuffle does not play podcasts in set order

    I see others have been having this trouble and have tried the recommendations but they are not working.
    I have tried to set the play order of podcasts and am only successful when I sort them by time. If I download a number of podcasts on the same day (someone said that they play by download date) I cannot set the play order. Someone said to drag the podcast to the desired order and that does not work with podcasts. It might with albums but not with podcasts.
    In addition, someone said to drag each podcast to the iPod in the order you want each one played. That does not work, either. Finally, if I do settle for the order displayed in the iPod play list and I haven't sorted by time, the Shuffle will not play them in the order played in iTunes.
    I have Shuffle set in iTunes to repeat all play; not shuffle. I don't use autofill. I'm sure I'm setting the button on the back of the Shuffle to play in order. Is there something I'm overlooking?
    I'm running the latest of both iTunes and iPod Shuffle on Windows XP Pro. I just re-loaded this software on a new computer and had the same problem with XP Pro on the old computer.
    Am I asking too much from iTunes? I don't use it for music. Do I actually need a more sophisticated program other then iTunes if I use Shuffle only for podcasts?

    That is in fact how podacsts work in the iTunes/iPod system. The only sorting is based on release date (time) which is set and sortable only in iTunes. You aren't missing anything,and nothing you do subsequently will affect that order; podcasts are and are treated differently.

  • Please Help with Shuffle not playing Podcasts in Playlist order

    Hi wanted to find out if others are going thru the same thing concerning PODCASTS. When I download a podcast and I put it into a playlist the podcasts should be able to be played in a sequential order as long as the number column is "clicked" so it plays 1,2,3 and so on. Well thats not happening....UGHHH when I sync my 2G shuffle now after 7.2 upgrade it decides it wants to put an episode of one type of podcast then another episode from another podcasts.. as if it is in random mode... But asure you I have the random/shuffle turned off both on the itunes and the shuffle itself. and everytime I go to sync it I can see the little circle updates syncing out of order and the sync window shows them being copied out of order... And so it syncs it to the order it comes up in the window. I cant get it to stop doing this. I have even tried unistalling 7.2 and quicktime and downgrading to 7.1.1.5 and it still is doing the same thing. Anybody please help this is very irritating... Thanks for your time....

    I am trying to auto sort podcasts in a smart playlist.
    Click in tethe h very first column and drag the podcasts in the order you want.
    Right click on the playlist name and *Copy to play order*.

  • How to make ipod shuffle 4th to play podcast in normal order from old to new ones?

    It plays only in crazy reverse order from new to old podcasts. I've looked through bunch of forums but didn't find adequate answers. Stupied Apple, it even doesn't have normal support......

    The only way you can control the order of podcast episode playback is to put them on a playlist (in iTunes), in any desired order.  Then, sync that playlist to the shuffle.
    On the shuffle, set the power switch to the play-in-order (middle) position.  Use VoiceOver to select that playlist.  The podcast episodes should play in playlist order.  Another advantage of this method is being able to "mix and match" pisodes from different podcasts on one continuous playlist.
    You can set up the iPod's Podcasts screen in iTunes to select this playlist under Include Episodes from Playlists, which automatically synca changes you make to the playlist (in iTunes) to the shuffle, the next time the shuffle is connected.

  • Itunes 12 not playing podcasts in correct order

    I upgraded to the new version of itunes and ever since it will not play the oldest podcast to newest as it used to do in itunes 11.  I found the settings and changed the setting to play from oldest to newest, I even changed the setting to show oldest on top and newest on bottom.  neither of these settings seems to be effective in controlling itunes.  How do I get these settings to actually effect itunes and not just be a placebo setting.
    Thanks in advance for all help.

    I'm having the same issue. I tried reinstalling but was not successful. Have also yet to hear back from Apple with a solution. Are you still having the issue?

  • Playing Podcasts - Is Last Always First?

    On my iPod Classic, podcasts are listed by date with the most recent one first. Podcasts are played sequentially in the order they are listed. This means that if I start playing podcasts from the top of the list, the newest one plays first, followed by the next earlier one, etc. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to play podcasts in chronological order - i.e., oldest first. The only way I can do this is to scroll to the bottom of the list, play the oldest podcast, then manually back up to the previous one in the list (which is next one chronologically), play that podcast, and so on. Is there no way to make the iPod play podcasts in chronological order?
    (Also, the listing of podcasts on the iPod is independent of the way they are listed within iTunes.)

    Unfortunately, that's the way the iPod Classic seems to behave. There have been posts about this before, but I suspect that Apple will not change the way this works on the Classic. (They have on the iPod Touch, although I realise that's not a solution!)
    Now, one of the annoying things about this is that when the episode finishes, the next one on the list plays. If this bugs you too, try this: put the iPod in shuffle song/albums mode. (Don't use shuffle on the Main Menu) Go to the *Settings Menu* and turn it on there, or while a song is playing, press the select button three times until the shuffle on/off appears and turn it on there. Once you have Shuffle on, start a Podcast. You'll notice the Podcast now says 1 of 1 instead of 1 of X. When it finishes the iPod will stop.
    I believe some people go the the trouble of creating a playlist with the Podcasts in the order they want and then play the playlist. I can't be bothered with that, I admit!
    I suspect that Apple had a different idea than Podcast producers when it comes to sorting these Podcasts, because I'm sure I have one series (which I now cannot find since I have so many) which does list and play episodes in chronological order. Trouble is, now that Apple have changed this on the Touch, that series is in the wrong order!

  • My I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order such as 3.2.1 no matter how I arrange them in I-Tunes.  How do I get my I-Pod to play in the proper 1,2,3 sequence?

    My 3rd gen I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order, even if I manually try to load it.  I will only automatically play in 3,2,1 order.  Even brought it to the Apple Store and they couldn't figure it out either.  Even bought another I-Pod and still plays in reverse order.  Any ideas out there?
    Thanks in advance for any help, Ty

    They did not order the podcasts correctly in the playlist then.  Several people, including myself, have been able to play podcasts in sequential order. 
    When viewing the playlist in iTunes, look to the far left of each episode. There should be a number next to it.  This is the ordering of the playlist.  Sort the playlist in sequential order and view the numbering along the leftmost column and see if the ordering matches up as desired. If they don't, you'll need to drag and drop tracks until they are.
    Once the ordering is as desired, right->click on the playlist and choose Copy to Play Order. Then resync the playlist over to your iPod.

  • How to play podcasts oldest to newest on shuffle

    I have an iPod Shuffle--one of the newer ones with the clip. I listen to podcasts on it and they have always played oldest to newest. Sometime recently it has changed--they now play newest to oldest, which obviously is less than ideal with podcasts. I've tried everything I can think of, including changing the settings for the podcasts in iTunes (not the sync screen) to play oldest to newest. No matter what I do, they still end up playing in reverse chronological order when I play them on my iPod. I'd appreciate any tips on how to fix this. Thanks!

    Hi rob559,
    I happened to have a digital AV adaptor and was able to reprduce the problem you mentioned regarding the video output from the Apple Podcast App.
    On the Downcast App, I tested it with the digital AV adaptor and was able to have the video is in full screen on a 16:9 HDTV. Thus, I think it is worth the investment to purchase the Downcast app to have full screen video playback.
    Cheers!

  • Plays previous played podcasts over and over again

    Hello,
    I like the new feature in update 1.1 for the nano to play podcasts in sequence order. However I have found that it plays the podcasts over and over once played. Also if there are two podcasts in the group and I start with the first one it plays the second one after finishing the first one which I would expect. When it start playing the first one again(which I did not expect) for the second twice if I check the nano interface the second podcast still shows the blue dot indicating it was never played. If I sync up with iTunes the blue dot is removed and it shows a play count of one.
    Any idea what is up with this?
    Regards,
    Chuck

    I am not seeing this.
    Can you run through what your settings are? Go into the settings screen and then go into music and general and check to see what your settings might be to explain this.
    Also, if you go into settings and at the bottom select to reset settings, it would likely solve the issue.
    I know in my case, I have the default settings going and it is working correctly.

  • Is it possible to have podcasts being played in chronological order instead of reversed chronological order in an iPod Classic?

    Is it possible to have podcasts being played in chronological order instead of reversed chronological order in an iPod Classic? It is not an issue, just something that irritates me as I want to be able to listen to them in chronological order.

    Yes, but you need to make a custom playlist to do so. There is no option on the classic to reverse the playback order.

  • Listening in chronological order to a subscribed podcast

    It's easy enough to change the play order, Newest or Oldest first.  But if you have a subscribed podcast, it shows every available episode in the list, so if you like to listen in chronological order, you have to scroll past potentially hundreds of episodes every time?
    Am I weird for listening to things in order?  Anyone have a better way?

    What am I not understanding here?
    Most podcast are topical. Like news, their episodes become dated or irrelevant as time passes; therefore, the most recent episode is what most listeners want to hear.

  • Reading Podcasts in reverse order

    Hello
    Is there an issue to read Podcasts in reverse oder with iPod nano ?
    Thank's

    Place them in the order you want after you've deleted them?? I'm not following that!
    If you go to the main heading for the podcast and hit the PLAY button (not the center button) the podcasts will play in chronological order. At least when I tried this last night it worked great.. It seemed like if you stop it jumps back to the oldest one again even though you may have finished it. A quick tap on the >>| and you will jump to where you were in the next one.
    When someone told me about this, I kept hitting the middle button and it doesn't work there.
