Playback order on iPod

Suprisingly, I encountered this problem just recently. When ordering my songs by 'album' in iTunes, the album plays straight through, no problem. However, some of these songs were added in before others. And, for some reason, when I go to the album in my iPod, they are ordered by date added, and THEN by track number. Is there a way to fix this? It's rather frustrating, and if I delete all the songs and readd them to my library at once, I'll lose them from my playlists. =/
This isn't the first time something of the sort's happened either. At times, iPod or iTunes likes to order things in an odd manner, but usually its if minute details beyond merely the album name dont match up.

This should be fixed in iTunes 7.3.1.

  • Video podcasts have jerky playback on my iPod nano 4G

    I've been enjoying Good Game video podcasts on my 4G iPod nano for several months:
    http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/
    About a month ago, the videos started stuttering badly every few seconds.
    I asked ABC TV is they changed something about how they encode the videos, and they say they haven't.
    Is it possible that one of the iTunes updates has changed video playback so my iPod nano can no longer cope with decoding the video stream?
    Does anyone know if there is a fix for this problem?
    Cheers,
    m.

    Have you reconnected your iPod since listening to the podcasts in question? If not, then you need to do that so that the iPod can update. The podcasts won't delete from the iPod itself after you listen to them until it is updated. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)

  • Concept albums do not play in correct order on ipod

    Imported concept CD, Chicago 2 album, into iTunes and then put it on my 6th gen iPod Nano.  Shuffle is off and yet tracks do not play in order on iPod but they do play in order on iTunes.  Help--this is driving me crazy!

    Looking in your iTunes library, do the songs have the *track number* field completed, are they correct and is the "total number of tracks on the album" also filled in?
    There are various ways to see and change this information:
    a.) *View/As list* (it's easier to see what you need at this time) and then *View/View options* and put a tick in the box named *Track No.* This will show you the track numbers in a column for each song and you can see which ones are missing.
    If any songs or albums need changing:
    b.) select song, *File/Get info/Info>track number X*
    c.) select whole album *File/Get info/<yes>/>track number of X*
    If that is not the problem, then it possibly the menu (on the iPod) that you've chosen to use to see the album. Which one have you used?

  • I Ordered Apple IPOD touch 5th generation. I am going to INDIA on 18th October. Can I get it before??

    Hi Friends,
    I Ordered Apple IPOD touch 5th generation. I am going to INDIA on 18th October. Can I get it before??
    Or else i has to cancel the order? please provide your valuable comments on this.

    I cancelled my preorder when the available date changed from September 21 to October. I will wait until it is in the Apple retail store. I want to see the demo and evaluate  iOS 6. Too many iOS 6 issues to do a pig in a poke on this one.
    If the device is not available until the end of October I'll wait until Black Friday and enjoy the discount. I will visit the Apple Store that day to purchase my gift to self items :)

  • What's the point of pre-ordering the iPod touch 5th generation?

    What is the advantage if I pre-order the iPod touch, rather than buying it in a few weeks? Is there a price difference?

    No price difference. The only advantage is that you'll be able to receive the new version possibly before it hits store shelves.  Other than that, there really isn't any.

  • If I pre-order the iPod touch 5th generation, do I have to pay it with credit card or can i pay it when i go get it on the store? if I pre order it, can i go pick it up form 1-3 of october, or it is not available?

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Audiobook playback problem on iPod

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to make the iPod automatically play all sections of an audiobook?
    The way mine is working, when it finishes a section, it stops playing and goes to the top level menu. That wouldn't be so bad if the sections were 4 hours long, but most of them are less than 5 minutes.
    This isn't a new problem, my clickwheel/dockable iPod has always worked this way, and the workaround I've been using is to have a smart playlist on the iPod, but I'm hoping there's an actual fix!
    Any suggestions on how to make audiobook playback on the iPod work properly?
    Thanks!

    I've found a workaround for this problem: the Join Together v5.1 iTunes script from Doug's AppleScripts combine the segments into two large AAC files.
    Now it's OK if the iPod stops playing segments after they finish because they're hours long instead of minutes.

  • I ordered my iPod touch online as a guest, how can I cancel my order?

    While ordering my iPod touch I enter as a guest.. now I want to cancel the order and I can't because everytime I try to do so, they will ask me for my Apple ID, which I don't have. I've tried using other ID's but it says that those ID's can't cancel my order. What can I do?

  • CUE - Reverse Playback Order of Messages

    Is it possible to change the playback order of messages in CUE so that the newest messages play first instead of the oldest? 

    I found the setting for it:
    Preferences > Viewing > Show most recent message a the top is checked by default.
    If you uncheck it, the related messages are also in the same default chronological order mails are in the Inbox list.

    If I order an ipod touch 5g online can I get it with IOS7? Any suggestions?? Please help!

    Since IOS7 has not been released yet, you will not get it installed in your new I Pod if you buy it now.  However, you will be able to install it free of charge when IOS7 is released, probably this fall.

    When you order, they will give you an estimated shipping date before you complete the order.

  • Inconsistent playback order with MuVo S

    I'm noticing an odd issue with the alphanumeric playback order with the muvo. If all my file names start with the track number (e.g. "0 A Hard Day's Night.mp3"), the playback order is what I expect it to be. The odd thing happens if the file names begin with a character string.
    For example, if I have:
    The Two Towers - 0 - Foundations of Stone.mp3
    The Two Towers - 02 - The Taming of Smeagol.mp3
    The Two Towers - 03 - The Riders of Rohan.mp3
    In this case, it plays back in exactly *reverse* alphanumeric order (i.e. track 3, followed by 2, then ). When the files are on the harddri've, they appear in the correct alphanumeric order (both in Windows Explorer and MediaSource). Strangely enough, if I use MediaSource to transfer the files, the order appears to be correct at first when I look at the device contents, but becomes reversed if I refresh the folder. (The reversal doesn't seem to happen when the string preceding the number is short.)
    Anyway, I'm not sure if this problem is due to a bug or a defecti've player. Anyone else have a similar problem?

    Transcendent,
    The MuVo slim sorts the playlist by the first 8 alphanumeric characters in the filename. In this case this would be "Thetwoto". My suggestion would be to move the numbering to the front of the filename as this will assure that it is correctly sorted.
