Playlist Song Connections

Is there anyway to make a connection between songs whithin a playlist so that when you randomize the list the connected songs will remain next to each other?
I have several long playlists that I rotate through my ipod nano. I like to randomize them before loading to keep things fresh. Some songs are meant to go together. An example would be Led Zeppelin's "You Shook Me" and "Dazed and Confused". They were together on the albumn and are often played together when they are on the radio. I would like to be able to have the option of "knitting" two or more songs together so that they would stay together even when you randomize a playlist.
I have a way to accomplish this by combining the songs using Bias LE but it would be nice to do this whithin the iTunes framework. Maybe there is a way that I don't know about.
Thanks

No. This is frequently asked, but iTunes has no way to do it.
You can join tracks as you rip them from CD. Or, you can put them in an audio editor and create a single track, as you have done.
If you care to leave a suggestion for Apple, use this => http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

    wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
    No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
    If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

  • Playlist Song Position in Memory ipod 7th generation

    I recently purchased a 7th generation ipod upgrading from a 4th generation which I had for several years.  With my 4th generation ipod I would frequently listen to a playlist at work in shuffle mode that would have over a 1,000 songs.  This could take about 14 days to completely listen to the entire playlist.  If I didn't use the ipod for 3 or 4 days and then want to continue the playlist exactly where I left off, there was no problem.
    I've noticed that with my 7th generation ipod, this isn't the case.  If I pause a playlist then start it again several days later, the last song that I listened to is ready to play but the playlist starts all over again and treats that song as song 1.  However, if I don't wait several days and want to listen to the playlist the next day, the playlist picks up right where it left off.
    My question is this:  how long does the 7th generation ipod hold a playlist song position in memory?  Is there a work around to hold it in memory indefinitely?
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • Playlist/songs appear in iphone4 buit won't play.  Have a read circle next to them

    playlist/songs appear in iphone4 buit won't play.  Have a read circle next to them

    I have the same problem even from iTunes bought music it appears with dashed grey circle beside the ones that I have recently added to my iPod by downloading them from the iPod itself. I honestly think it has to do with the 7.0.3 update that they have recently released. It may have solved other problems but it has created more problems along the way.
    Hopefully there will be a solution soon, if anyone has news or solutions please post thankyou
    At least now I know I'm not the only one with the same kinda problem

  • ITunes playlists, song ratings gone in 10.4 under Lion

    Im in a crysis here. My iTunes Libaray is gone under 10.4 in Lion. when i first started up it just gave me the standard iTunes window when you have no music or anything. You know it tells you where you can get it. So then i just told it to search my user folder for stuff to import and it started. but then when it gets done none of my songs had ratings that i had applied and none of my playlists where there. I checked my Music folder for playlists and didnt find any. what can i do?

    Your playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you create are stored in the iTunes Library file found in /Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.  What are the iTunes library files?, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    Tip: New versions of iTunes sometimes include enhancements to the iTunes library. When you open the new version of iTunes, iTunes upgrades your existing library to the new format and places a copy of the old library in the Previous Libraries folder. If everything goes fine during your upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, you can delete the older iTunes Library files.
    Look in your  /Users/username/Music/iTunes folder for a folder called previous iTunes Libraries.  These files are dated with the date created.
    How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451 explains how to recreate your library and playlists using these previous files.

  • ITunes playlist songs disappear when selected to play

    iTunes playlist songs disappear when selected to play - ie double-clicked, or clicked once and then play selected. The song doesn't play although there is a brief 'flash' of something at the top of the screen where you would normally see the song details mwhile playing.
    The song is not deleted from the library but is still missing from the playlist when iTunes is restarted.

    I just recently upgraded to iTunes 9 and have found that some songs (18 of 750) will no longer play. I get a couple different error messages, one saying iTunes cannot find the URL for the song and another saying iTunes cannot find the file for the song. I hate to pay for these songs again since I already purchased them from the iTunes store, but I don not know what other options are available. Has anyone had this problem and if so, is there a way to fix these songs?
    Usually that occurs when the file, or one of its containing folders, is moved, renamed, or deleted. If you remember doing one of those things, see if you can put it back the way it was. Otherwise, search on your hard drive for the song file, and re-add it to your library.

  • Playlist songs converted to 1 of 1 status

    Since a recent upgrade, all of my playlist songs are showing "1 of 1" and only play 1 song at a time. The songs all have a check in front of them so that is not the problem. My playlists are now worthless since I have to push a button for every single song! Help.

    Chris, thanks for the hint. sadly, when I did that all of my playlists already had the "no" option enabled so that doesn't look like the root of the problem. It seems when others had this issue it was always related to the check boxes but again, mine all all "checked".

  • Volume differnces in playlist songs

    How can I get my playlists songs to be at the same volume so there are not "loud" songs and "soft" songs on the same burned CD? Thanks! PJWalt

    Actually, I tried adjusting the volume through Get Info, and it affected the volume of the songs when I played them through iTunes, but not the volume of the songs as they were burned onto the CD. When I make a CD of my playlist, and then play that CD on a separate boom box, the songs I've purchased from iTunes are still louder than ones I've transferred from other CDs.
    I tried taking the burned CD to a different computer, copying the songs into iTunes there, and then burning a new CD, but that didn't solve anything.
    Any other ideas?

  • Connected Ipod lost all playlists, songs in itunes and on ipod

    I connected my video ipod to my computer, not for the first time, and all my songs and playlists were erased from my ipod and, in my itunes library, I lost all my playlists, recently purchased songs, and recently played folder. Why? How can I retrieve my playlists? How can I prevent this from happening again? Jeannine

    Weird.
    While there's plenty of things that could change the playback speed in iTunes, I don't know of anything that could change the speed of playback on the iPod itself.
    Maybe you've had a stroke. Might want to see a doctor about that.

  • Deleting playlists/songs

    I just got an iPod nano as a gift and uploading some songs from my boyfriends computer on to it. How do I delete some playlists or songs that I don't like?
    thanks!

    Hi Angela,
    You might want to try automatic updating too, just to see if you like it. You can choose selected playlists to be copied to your nano. Whenever you change those playlists in iTunes, your nano playlist will be automatically updated the next time you connect it to your computer. Very slick.

  • Tracks repeating in playlists on Connect

    Hi there,
    I use Spotify connect to play playlists from my phone, and notice that when I play any playlist, it will not play the songs in order, and repeat songs that have played already even when shuffle mode is off. The expected song order would be 1,2,3,4,5 but the typical output is 1,2,1,3,4,2 or something similar.
    I use a Beep device as the Connect player, and their tech support said this is a known bug with Spotify Connect. Can it be fixed?

    I too have a Beep and have the same/similar problem. I run Spotify connect from my phone or laptop and connect to the Beep. When playing a playlist or radio station it will often repeat tracks and sometimes just get stuck playing the same couple of tracks over and over. If I try and queue tracks it is even worse. For example if I queue tracks 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5. It will play tracks 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. This seems to have been a problem ever since Spotify introduced the "Play Queue" screen showing "Current Track", "Queued Track" and "Next track". The "Queued Tracks" will list the tracks I have queued, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. But the "Next Tracks" will list tracks 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.  And that is what plays. This makes queuing absolutely useless. Infact the whole "Current Track", "Queued Track" and "Next track" thing is a complete mess.

  • HT204406 The songs on my computer itunes playlist and my iphone playlist songs are not matching up. I do see new songs I've added on my computer playlist on my iphone playlist but the songs are not in the same order. How do I get them to match?

    Playlists matching on computer and iphone?  The playlists on my computer in itunes are not matching up with the "match" playlist on my iphone.  New songs do show up when I add them to a playlist, but the songs are all in different order.  If I edit a playlist on my computer how do I get it to match on my iphone?

    Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.
