Playlist Shuffle as Default Setting

Hi,
Anyone know if you can set song shuffle as the default setting for an iPod nano? Every time my iPod is powered off, or synchronizes to my PC, the settings go back to no shuffle and repeat and I have to reset when I power back on.
Thanks,
Chris

We may get this behavior if we create a custom template with this feature set.
I looked in such a document ad found that the setting is stored in the property
SFWPShowInvisiblesProperty
Alas, when I installed such property in the preferences file, the newly created documents didn't reflect it.
I searched in the inthebox templates, there is no such property so, I assume that this one is introduced by the application code itself.
I guessed a way to force it by default thru the inthebox templates.
Navigate to reach :
Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Resources:Templates:Blank.template:index-iso.xml.gz
or Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Resources:Templates:Blank.template:index-trad.xml.gz
if you use American paper size.
Double click to expand it
rename the original ,file as
backup_index-iso.xml.gz
or
backup_index-trad.xml.gz
In the expanded file, search for the string
"</sl:SFWPCTShowDeletedTextProperty>"
Just after it, insert the string:
"<sl:SFWPShowInvisiblesProperty><sl:number sfa:number="1" sfa:type="c"/></sl:SFWPShowInvisiblesProperty>
Save the file.
After that, every document created from this template will default to "Show Hidden Characters".
If you are interested, I may write a script able to apply the trick to every inthebox templates.

  • Can some playlists shuffle by default and others not?

    I have some playlists that I ALWAYS want to shuffle, like my “everything except jazz and classical” or maybe my “rock only” playlists. And now that I think about it I pretty much want almost all my playlists to shuffle. BUT, I nearly always want albums to play in order.
    So here’s my problem:
    I set my 80gig iPod to “shuffle/songs” and listen to my “everything except jazz and classical” playlist and everything is fine. Then, I hear a song that makes me want to hear the whole album (in order) so I need to go to settings and select “shuffle/off.” Then when I get done with that album or I’m ready to move on and I want to shuffle one of my playlists I need to go back to settings and change shuffle again to songs.
    Possible Solution:
    Since I nearly ALWAYS want certain playlists to play random (shuffle) and albums to always play in order isn’t there away (and there should be) to make certain playlist default to shuffle? I would think you should be able to right-click on a playlist and select “default shuffle for iPod” or something like that.
    Anyone have a solution, because I’m really getting sick of turning shuffle on and off for the same thing over and over?
    Thanks,

    As of now, that's the only way to do it.

  • My IPod no longer shuffles songs within playlists that are clearly set to shuffle.  It is about 3/4 full so I thought of maybe compressing the files to get more space.  Do you think that is the problem and if that might help?

    My IPod no longer shuffles songs within playlists that are clearly set to shuffle.  It is about 3/4 full so I thought of maybe compressing the files to get more space.  Do you think that is the problem and if that might help?

    Storage space on the iPod would not affect shuffled playlists or playlist shuffling, though substantially full iPods may wind up skipping songs on larger playlists after a while, and require a restart.  As for compressing the files themselves, you can automatically re-encode files to a lower bitrate by checking the box on the summary page when your iPod is connected to your PC/Mac.
    As for the shuffle problem, after restarting your iPod (hold the center button and Menu for a few seconds, until the Apple logo appears), make sure you're telling the iPod to shuffle the songs in a playlist by repeatedly clicking the center button until the Suffle Menu comes up, then scroll to the right to turn it on.  From that song forward, the playlists' contents should be shuffled every time the playlist ends, or is accessed from a new song.
    Shuffle does sometimes turn itself off, I've found, so double-check the setting is still on.  Also, iPods shuffle by randomly assigning a playlist order for your songs, which is different from traditional shuffle (on, say, iTunes or Windows Media Player, where the new song is determined at random upon the current track ending.  The iPod only chooses a random order of songs when you shuffle, to conserve battery life and queue up songs coming up on the playlist in the event of a shock).

  • Playlist Shuffle

    I have several playlists on my iPod including one that contains just Christmas music. I typically shuffle songs between all playlists, but would like to exclude the Christmas playlist except during the season. Is there any way to exclude this one playlist from being included in the shuffle but still allow the rest to shuffle?

    I am not sure if that will stop those songs from playing on the iPod, but I would think that it would.
    However, if it doesn't,
    1. Make a Smart Playlist which can be set a variety of ways:
    You might want to look at the first drop-down menu and decide which of these options might work well for your purposes:
    Album, Artist, Category, Date Added, Genre.
    If they are all in the Holiday Genre, that might work best.
    I hope this helps!

  • Problems with iTunes Playlist shuffle

    Hey,
    I uploaded the new TobyMac Christmas album to my iTunes player then added it to a playlist. When I set that playlist to 'shuffle', only songs from the TobyMac Christmas album will be selected to play. I can manually select a song from a different album to play, and it will play, but when it's done iTunes will skip to the next TobyMac Christmas song and the problem will continue from there.
    Can anyone help me solve this problem?
    Thanks !!

    Do all the songs in your playlist have a check in the box to the left of each song's name?  Songs without a check will be ignored unless specifically selected to play. If you don't see the checkboxes, go to iTunes > Preferences > General and check "Show list checkboxes".
    To check or uncheck all boxes on a Mac with one click, hold down the Command (cmd) key and click on one of the checkboxes with the mouse.  You can use this in a library, a playlist or in search results.
    If the check marks are not the source of your problem, select one of the songs that won't play when shuffling. Open the song's information window (cmd + I or File > Get Info) and click the Options tab. Check that "Skip when shuiffling" is not checked.

  • Change default setting for "Repeat All Songs on Album"

    It seems that the default setting for my iPod Touch is to play all songs on the album, then repeat at track one of the same album. It is easy enough to shut this option off while playing the music, but I was wondering if there was a way to set the default setting, so instead of always assuming I want to repeat all tracks on the album (I seldom or never do) the default setting will be to just play the album one time through.

    Repeat (and Shuffle) always stays how you last set it. You're either touching the button by mistake, or perhaps you need to reset (or restore) the Touch.
    Another thought ... if you plug the Touch into an accessory such as a car with an iPod interface, sometimes that puts the Touch into Repeat mode (my Honda does that). Are you doing something like this?

  • Making A Playlist Shuffle?

    Is it possible to make a playlist shuffle, so you can add all the music and it won't play the same band till all the songs you chose are through with that artist?

    Ya, in the iPod settings, if you set it so it shuffles music, your playlists will be shuffled as well. At least it certainly is working that way on mine. Even when I pull up an artist and a specific album to listen to, it shuffles that album. So in my experience it is the iPod's setting that determines if shuffles is ON or not and if it is ON, then everything gets shuffled, library, play list, album, etc.

  • ITunes playlist shuffle feature

    I have always found the iTunes playlist shuffle feature fails to play all my songs and only accesses a narrow selection and then repeats thes without ever playing a broad selection of my playlist. Is there a way to overcome this?

    Yes. Go to SETTINGS > SHUFFLE, and set it to SONGS. Then, go back, highlight the name of your playlist and press PLAY. It will play just that playlist, and it will be shuffled.
    CHeers!

  • Movie playlist shuffle

    When I make a playlist of movies, I can't get shuffle or repeat to work. Any ideas why?

    Thank you.  This solved my problem too.
    But, one little thing to share:
    "There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
    This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
    I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
    They called me back this morning at 10 am.
    It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle.  My problem is now fixed;
    all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
    So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
    Again, thank you.

  • Default setting for Budget Report S_ALR_87013558

    Dear All,
    In Budget Report S_ALR_87013558, when it is executed every time when we enter, 2 number formats are displayed, one in Lakhs (Factor 1,00,000) and one in units (Factor 1). When I change it to Factor 1 through "Number format", then it comes as per selection.
    This is only in prod server, dev server is ok.
    How can I make it default to normal for all users on client level, i.e. to Factor 1.
    Thanks
    Shubham

    Execute the report, now change the number format as per your requirement, now after changing, Press Ctrl+S, this will save the setting to this report. so if you execute the report system will take the number format which you saved as default setting.

  • Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?

    I am converting slides from the 1970's and 80's to digital files and using PSE 8 to Organize them but it is important to me that they stay in the order of the file name I give them and NOT "Date: newest first or last" because it would seem that PSE, in the absence of metafile information, uses the date and time I uploaded the file to the Organizer as the "Date:".  ACDSee has a much more sensible arrangement in giving me full control of how my photos are sorted.  I am being driven to using ACDSee as the organizer and PSE as the photo editor, a not very convenient arrangement.  So my question is, "Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?"

    The type of file system that you're trying to set up, is actually done better by creating you own file heirarchy in Windows, and then viewing by import batch.  For example; you might create a top level folder "My Slide Scans", then perhaps, "My son John". So, the scans of john all go in the same folder, you import the folder in one batch, and you're where you want to be.
    That said, PSE will fight you at every turn to do this, since with the scanner hooked up with PSE, PSE is going to want to store your photos in "scanned photos" and import them as you scan them.
    I woud suggest this.  After the scan and import, use PSE to move the photos to their final destination folder, say " Hawaii 1994", and create a tag of the same name". Then when you're done scanning photos of this event, use the tag to view all the scans at once. Then, delete all the photos from the organizer. (Yeah, sounds radical I know). Take heart! All you've gotta do then is to reimport the whole folder. All the same name photos will be in one import batch. And with all the photos of any given topic in one folder, you'll be able to also use Windows Explorer in any number of modes to view the photos outside PSE.
    Keep in mind you can rename batchs of photos by selecting them, or by import batch or even tag, then "Ctrl. > Shift > N" will bring up the name change dialog box.
    This technique is quite contensious, but, it makes a whole lot more sense than storing all your photos in the "My Photos" folder on the "C:/" drive where any viral or malware hiccup might cause the necessity of a reformat, which could cause the loss of years of work.
    If a name search is a priority, that would be "Ctrl ."Shift" > "K" then type in whatever your heart desires.
    Caution: Before attempting a delete/ reimport manuver, Alway, always, write the tag and file info to the photo. "File" >"Write Tag and Properties Info to File".
    I always am quite adamantine about suggesting that you do NOT use the same physical HDD that contains Windows to store your photos, that's just asking for trouble. HDDs are quite cheap nowadays, and they're worth every penny in piece of mind. Plus to use a storage ("Volume") drive, you have to create your own file heirarchy anyway, so that leads right back to the beginning of this discussion.
