Playing concurrently recorded songs in shuffle mode.

Help! Is there a way to play songs concurrently that
were recorded concurrently while the Ipod is in
shuffle mode? Example: Van Halen's "Eruption" going
into "You Really Got Me", or the Beatles-Abbey Road
medley with "Sun King""Mean Mr. Mustard""Polythene
Pam""She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"
Yes... One way I found is to fuse all the files of a medley into one file. Find the files in explorer. Open the files of the medley in notepad. What is seen in notepad makes no sense, but it is the content of the files. Just copy and paste, fitting the medley into one notepad. Then save. It saves beautifully av a mp3 file without any fuss. Import the file into iTunes, call it the medley name and you're done.

My iPod touch is stuck on one song in my play list when in the shuffle mode. How do I fix this to shuffle through all the songs in that playlist?

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.

To skip songs in shuffle mode for the ipod nano:
On the click wheel,on the left and right are the fast foward or rewind buttons. You use those to skip songs in shuffle mode. If you hold on to them, it skips to further or back into your song.

Skip Songs in Shuffle Mode

My son got a Nano in April. We are very new to this technology. He tells me he used to be able to skip songs in shuffle mode. Now he says he can't. I tried the fast forward on the right side of the circle but, it does not skip the song. What are we doing wrong?

After playing 60-70 songs on shuffle battery life is almost all gone.

Well the subject says everything...
Basically after I play 60-70 songs on shuffle, the battery life is almost gone. (After being fully charged) I don`t know if this is part of the reason why it only plays that many songs, but I do turn my ipod on an off a few times. (About 4-5 times?) But I don`t think that`s a good enough reason for the battery to be so low after playing only about 3-4 hours. I don`t have any songs that go over 5 minutes and I don`t watch videos or put on the slideshow while playing music. And the only times I touch the click wheel is when I want to raise/lower the volume or skip to the next song. So I don`t know why it only plays for such a short time. Does anybody know why it`s doing that? And is there any way I can fix this?

Try just letting your ipod play one song over and over, and see how long it lasts. If it still has the same problem, get the battery replaced.

I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

Browsing songs in shuffle mode on classic ipod

i primarily use my ipod as a car stereo in shuffle mode. is there any setting or application that i can put on that will allow me to jump straight to the current song that is playing when i press menu rather than the song i first selected?
for example a song by a certain artist comes up on random but i want to hear a song that i know is nearby in the list and i dont want to have to scroll through thousands of songs to get there.
cheers

I am confused by your post. By skipping songs, do you mean that the playlist ends without those songs playing at all? Or are you saying that all of the songs do eventually play but they are skipped and played in a 'random' order? That, by definition is shuffling, hence my confusion.
I don't mean to be flippant. Just seeking clarification.

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.

Play ends when song ends - Shuffle and Continuous Play not working

I'm pretty sure I did not install an update prior to this starting. Since the problem began, however, I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled to see if that would solve the problem and it did not.
I typically play songs, on shuffle, from my main library. When I open iTunes shuffle is automatically selected and I click on the play button to choose a random song. Since this past thursday when I click the play button nothing happens. I have to manually choose a song to play. Once the song has ended iTunes does not choose another song (if on shuffle) nor does it play the proceeding song on the list (if on normal play). In order to play another song I have to choose another. Once that song ends I have to select another and so on.
I have checked the settings and I don't see anything that could be effecting the way iTunes plays the songs.

*Figured it out*
Somehow, all of my songs where not checked....

Excluding songs from shuffle mode

I enjoy listening to my library in the shuffle mode but am having trouble removing certain items (itrip stations, my 14 month old daughter's baby einstein music, etc.) from the shuffle. The library is too large to create a smart playlist. I have attempted the -get info, options, skip when shuffling route-for every unwanted selection but the songs and stations still appear in the shuffle mode. Is there a way to accomplish this without unchecking the songs? I have searched every tutorial and exhausted all of my support help. Thanks.

I have gone in under info, options, skip when shuffling for each song and updated the ipod afterward but the skipped songs keep getting into the shuffle. I'm not sure how to skip songs on the ipod itself as you suggested, I'll look into it. Thanks for your time and input.

Linking songs in shuffle mode

I am very new to the i-tunes/i-pod environment. I hope my question has a very simples answer:
1) Is there a way to link two or more individual songs together (in I-tunes) so that they will always play in sequence on a shuffle?
2) Does the trick work on the i-pod as well (I have a 5th generation, 40MB ipod)?
THANKS!!!
Rogerio

The only way you could do that would be if you joined the tracks as you were ripping them from a CD so that they would be one track. Given that you already have the tracks, no.

My iPod hang when I skip the song in shuffle mode

I always use shuffle songs and skip to find the song I wanted. I have used it for 11 months and this month my iPod hang oftenly. I send it to apple care in Thailand. They take 4 days and call me to get my iPod back. They said "There is no problem with my iPod". After I play it in the same way for a while, it hang again.
I have called my local support. They told me that iPod is not designed to use like that. We cannot use shuffle songs and skip the song oftenly. I do not think the iPod do not support this. I used it for 11 months and have no problem. When I have the problem, they say I cannot use like this.
Is there anyone find this problem? In shuffle songs mode, using skip oftenly. I would like to double check this problem before send it to apple again.
Thanks.

Hi tokepi,
I'm having exactly the same problem, and after upgrading to the latest iTunes Version it has gotten worse.
I'm trying to find the software to reformat the hard drive of the iPod as my suspicion is that the hard drive has errors on it, hence why the songs hang or skip to the next track.
Unfortunately I've been unable to find the utilities to reformat the drive, but I guess that Apple must have the ability to do it, or replace the drive.
Make sure you keep all communications with Apple as your iPoad should still be under 12 months warranty, and so if defective they should replace it free of charge.
Good luck and let me know if they get it fixed!

How to hear the metronome while playing a recorded song on iTunes ?

Hey users of Garage Band.
I do not find the setting to hear the metronome after I recorded my guitar in GB`11.
I want to give this song to our drummer to hear, but I want that he hears the metronome too.
I just hear the metronome while hearing the song playing in GB but not after converting to iTunes.
Thanks for helping.

you would have to record the metronome with a microphone to do that.
instead, create a clickTrack:
