Podcast tracks in playlists

it appears to be the case that if you add podcast tracks to a playlist and set the playlist to shuffle, the podcast tracks are skipped. is there any way around this? can i reformat the podcast tracks to that they'll play randomly in playlists like other tracks?

yes. select all the podcasts you want to do this to , and go to file -> get info. go to the Options tab, and go down to Skip When Shuffling:. from that menu, choose No. click ok. your podcasts will now shuffle as normal tracks would.

Recognizing Previously Downloaded Podcast Tracks as Podcast

Hi, I had to rebuild my computer recently and when I reinstalled iTunes it imported all of my music and podcasts with no problem other than many of my previously downloaded podcast tracks show up in the normal library but are not shown in the podcast listing as having been downloaded.
This is a fairly petty issue I know since they still play and all that, I just like to see all the podcasts that I have downloaded and listened to listed under the podcasts tab. Now it looks like I neither downloaded nor listened to them.
It seems to be a mix of .mov and .mp4 files, not any one type specifically.

How about deleting it later? I've gotten some music on a podcast and would like to add it to my music library, but I have a playlist that lists podcasts and I can't find an option to take those songs out of my 'podcast' playlist.
I'm using a mac with the latest OS X and iTunes.

How can i move a podcast track from one podcast to another?

I subscribe to a number of podcasts and recenly some of them have started downloading to new podcast folders (One of them underwent a slight name change, and the others I'm not sure why). So now, some of my podcasts have two folders: one with the old podcasts and one where the new podcast download to. I want to keep all the tracks, because I reference them from time to time, but I hate having these extra folders. Is there some way to move podcast tracks from one podcast to another so I can consolidate these tracks?

Use export/import.
Regards,
John

Podcasts in a playlist only play one at a time instead of in seq

I just got a 6G nano iPod.
I have smart playlists that include my favorite podcasts in reverse time sequence.
When I play from this list, only one episode at a time will play. After the episode completes then the iPod goes back to the playlist where you can manually select the next podcast.
This works fine on my 3 or 4 G (I don't know which it is) nano.
I want to play all the podcasts in the playlist one-after-the-other without stopping playback.

I have smart playlists which have Media type "Podcast" and Play Count = 0. These playlists were only playing one song at a time.
The solution that I found to the problem was to
connect ipod
goto ipod in devices
select podcasts
select sync podcasts
DON'T SELECT AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDE ALL EPISODES OF ALL PODCASTS
Scroll down to Include Episodes from Playlists
Then select all the smart playlists that include ipod episodes.
This means those playlists are copied to the ipod and they play in order.
It doesn't seem to matter whether or not the playlist is selected as well under the Music tab.

With the new version of ITune, I do not know how to add a podcast to a playlist. The "add to playlist" which was easily found on older versions is not available. Your help will be appreciated.

I have difficulties with the new version of ITune, which I never experienced in the older versions.
1. I do not know how to transfer a new radio podcast to a playlist. The previous option "show in playlist" does not appear.
2. I do not know how to download an older podcast from the list of available ones offered for download. The latest one only is downloading, none other, not even the most recent but one.
Your help will be greatly appreciated in these difficulties.
I thank you in anticipation.

Can't move tracks in playlists

Since upgrading I appear unable to move tracks within playlists. Previously I just 'drag and dropped'. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem about dragging songs within play lists. Things were all great last night as we were making music for our wedding and then all at once it stopped allowing us to drag songs into the order we wanted. Clicking on the number column, as suggested, does not work. Any other thoughts?

Although it is possible to insert podcasts into a playlist on the Mac, these are not in the playlist on the iPod after SYNC

Sambino,
You should be fine. Just make sure that you download and install the P2 drivers for your PB. Also, if possible transfer directly to your external. P2 cards can eat up a lot of space very quickly and you don't want to overburden your system drive.

Why can't I copy (not just make an alias) podcasts to other playlists?

I want to make list/s of important podcasts to keep apart from the automatically updating/deleting new podcasts, and I might also want to make Smart Playlists of podcasts. Why can't I do this? When I copy a podcast into another playlist, it goes away as soon as the original is deleted.

<<When I copy a podcast into another playlist, it goes away as soon as the original is deleted>>
The files are on your HD once. Every file is in the Library. What's in the Playlist is a reference or pointer to the file in the Libary. If the file is deleted from the Library then it's not available to the playlist. If this makes no sense to you. consider the waste of disk space if a file was duplicated everytime it was added to a playlist.

ITunes 9.0.2 Unable to place podcasts in a playlist in custom order

In previous versions of iTunes it was possible to arrange podcasts in a playlist in the order in which I wished to listen by dragging and dropping items into the desired order in list view. This disappeared in iTunes 9 but it was still possible using a modifier key while dragging an item. 9.0.1 worked perfectly. In 9.0.2 I have again found it impossible to arrange podcasts other than by using the column headers or by editing the titles to get them into a custom order. Has this option gone or am I missing something?

I have a similar issue which started with iTunes 9, seemed to go away with 9.0.1 and is now back. iTunes will synchronize some previously selected podcast playlists, but it will not allow me to add new playlists to the list for synchronization. Before there were some work-arounds, but none seem to work right now. Anyone else see this? Any ideas?

Can't import still images into a project or create a podcast track

I'd be grateful if anyone can explain why I can't import still images onto a track like you can easily do in garage band - in garage band you simply create a podcast track, then drag your photos onto it. However in logic, when I open the media browser i can get a photo folder up but it will not allow me to even look at the contents.
Also, why is it that the manual for logic express has nothing about how to import a movie to produce a movie score - and yet garage band can even do this.
Thanks for any advice.

Have you tried "Working with Video" section of the manual? It's somewhere close to the end...
Logic works with audio, not images. That's why you can't import a photo, because media browser is used to locate audio files, mostly. And sometimes video.
I guess it works this way, you create a podcast with Logic, bounce it to mp3 or another compressed format. Then import it into GB and insert a photo.

Podcasts in Smart Playlist not showing up on iPhone in iOS 5

Upon first syncing my iPhone to iTunes after uploading both to iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5, I noticed that my podcasts in Smart Playlists were not there, and coincidentally, the Smart Playlists were gone in iTunes (that's a different issue altogether).
The solution I found is that you have to sync the podcast Smart Playlist from the "Podcasts" tab on iTunes. I did this with my phone plugged in, but suppose that this would also work with a wi-fi sync.
Choosing the Smart Playlists from the "Music" tab will result in empty playlists on your phone.
Hope this helps!

I'm having the exact same issue on Mac OS 10.7.2 and iOS 5. There are some other posts on Podcasts not syncing with smart playlists. I haven't found a solution yet. Super annoying. I used to have a smart playlist of audio podcasts sorted by date. Now the Smart Playlist shows up on my iPhone - but it's empty. I've tried your solution but id didn't work for me. I've unchecked all Playlists in the Music tab and checked them in the Podcast tab and I've still got empty Smart Playlists on my iPhone. Let me know if you get any more info on this. I'd also like to add that this exact problem surfaced a while back with a previous iOS update.
Here are what I see as the variables in this problem...
Music tab:
• Playsts box (my Smart Playlists of Podcasts DO NOT show up here)
• Genres box (I've tried checking and unchecking the Podcast Genre)
Podcast tab:
• Automattically including ___ episodes of ____ podcasts (I've tried checking and unchecking this)
• List of indivudual podcasts with checkboxes (I've tried checking and unchecking them)
• Include Episodes from Playlists (I've tried checking and unchecking them)

Enhanced Podcast Not Showing Podcast Track

I created a number of enhanced podcasts using Garageband 09. All of them display the podcast track (artwork) just fine in iTunes. Only some of them display correctly in QuickTime. I was using QT to export them as 3gp files, but some of them show audio only. The one's that show correctly list both AAC, stereo and Apple Photo JPEG in the movie inspector info. Those that don't show correctly (audio only) only have AAC stereo info in the movie inspector. They were created with identical processes via Garageband 09. Any ideas?

I had forgotten that these files were actually duplicates made in iTunes. In iTunes I had a bunch of enhanced podcast files on a particular album. I needed to use some of the files on a different album I was creating. I attempted to not alter the first album by selecting the create AAC version under the Advanced menu. I took the newly created podcasts and did a mass information change to the new album name. It was in this process that the JPEG was lost.

Using features of a Podcast Track for Songs ...

I am experimenting with adding a Podcast Track to a Song, and setting up the chapters the same as my arrangement: Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Etc. This allows me to click to a section quickly with the insertion point right where I need it. (This is the only thing I really miss from my VS-1680 -- the location markers to get to a part in the song quickly!)
So far, it seems to work fine. I Share -- Send Podcast to iTunes and it seems to play regularly with no glitches. Does anyone know of why I would NOT want to do this? Is Sending a Podcast the exact same as sending a Song? Seems like the chapter markers can contain URL's and Artwork, but I am not utilizing that. Thanks for any insights...

Guessing I should use the "higher" or "highest" quality settings in the Share dialog box?
it depends what you plan to do with the file.
uncompressed is highest fidelity, but very large in size. mp3 and aac are compressed,making them smaller, at the cost of fidelity.
uploading full quality 44.1K 24-bit files is not very realistic. at the same time, trying to Master an mp3/aac is rather silly since you're starting out with a file that's had 90% of its data thrown away.

How to keep a podcast in a playlist, but delete from Podcast library?

If I move a podcast to a playlist I've created on a certain subject, and then delete it from the podcast section of the library, it disappears from the playlist, as well. How can I move podcasts to a playlist and keep them, and at the same time delete them from the podcast library list?
Thanks!

Playlists are just links to songs, videos or podcasts that are in your iTunes library. If you delete something from the library it can't be in a playlist. You can have something in the library but not in a playlist but you can't have something in a playlist that isn't in the library.

Editing Multiple Photos in Podcast Track

I'm fairly new to Garageband and I'm using it for enhanced podcasting in a fourth grade classroom. I want to select multiple photos (100 or more) that have already been imported to the podcast track and set the time that they run to 2 seconds each. I'd like to do this all at once. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks in advance.

I don't have a lot of experience with enhanced podcasts, but it looks like GB defaults the length of imported pics to 3 seconds (when you drag in multiple pictures). You can select all pictures in the track and shorten all of them to 2 seconds at once, but you'll create gaps and you will have to re-align them one by one. Maybe someone has an easier solution.
