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.

  • I've purchased cartoon tv shows for my iPad. Prior to the new updates, I could play one at a time or continous. Now I can only play one at a time. It's annoying to keep changing it every five or six minutes. Is there a fix to get it back playing continous

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    You may have t opurchase one.  Some only do a limited number of transfers without paying.
    - Make a backup of yur iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under devices in iTunes and selecing Backup.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • New or modified iTune playlists only play one song then stop.

    My wife changed the settings on iTunes last night.  New, or modified playlists only play current songs then stop.  Existing playlists work normally.

    Are the songs on the CD from different artists?
    If so, then if you are going into MUSIC -> ARTIST -> Christmas CD and hitting PLAY, it will play the songs from THAT ARTIST on THAT CD, probably only one.
    What you'd have to do is go on your iPod: MUSIC -> ALBUM -> Christmas CD. By doing this, you'll play every song from that album regardless of artist.

  • Songs will only play one at a time

    After updating iTunes, using the last update 7.6.2, it will only play one song at a time and stops. It will not play continuously through a playlist. Am I missing something in the setting? Any suggestions?

    Are there check marks beside all the songs in the playlist? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. If you hold down the CRTL key and click beside any song in your list then all the check boxes can be toggled on or off: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

  • My Itunes will load on Apple TV and play, but only plays one song at a time.  It will not shuffle or continuously play an album.  All of the songs display, but will only play one at a time...home sharing is on.  Any suggestions?

  • I-tunes for windows, playlists only play one song

    I've got a bunch of playlists and for some of them they work fine. But for some when I double click to play a song, it only plays that song. It never advances to the next song.
    Thanks for the help,

    Do all the songs have checkmarks next to them?

  • Playlist only playing one song?

    I imported a CD onto my iTunes. I than put it on my iPod as a playlist, but now whenever I play it, it just plays the song I selected on repeat. However, it doesn't do this on iTunes with this playlist. What do I do to make it play the entire playlist instead of just one song???

    Go into Settings on the iPod and check to see that Repeat is OFF. Also, check the songs in your Playlist (you'll have to do this in iTunes)...under Get Info, are the songs in the list set to Skip When Shuffling? And do you have Shuffle turned on?

  • Can only play one podcast at a time

    Hi,
    I have just upgrade from a 3g iPod to a 5g. On the older iPod I could pick a podcast and it would play all the episodes one after another. Now it will only play one at a time and shows 1 of 1 in the display. I can see 5 episodes if I actually go into the playlist. My Nano does the samething.
    Is there a setting I am missing that can change this?
    Best wishes
    Michael

    Well now I'm doubly .
    Steve, did you try playing a Podcast episode in List view? I ask, because after Creydon's last post I  read, re-read and read it again to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Consequently I tried playing some Podcasts.
    The results are odd, even after re-booting my computer.
    In List view:
    Started a Podcast episode playing.
    Checked the Up Next list. It was empty - not what I expected, but I'll go with the flow.
    At the end of the episode, the following episode began playing. This makes no sense to me, if the list is empty, why does another episode begin? If this is expected behaviour, I did not realise that the Up Next only dealt with music, not Podcasts.
    Turned on Shuffle, then turned it off again before the episode finished.
    When this episode finished, a further Podcast began - at random! This also makes no sense, particularly as the Up Next was still empty. iTunes was in Shuffle mode, and was shuffling Podcasts!
    Turned Shuffle back on and this time, left it on.
    At the end of the episode, iTunes stopped. At last, expected behaviour!
    As I'm sure you are aware, by default iTunes sets all Podcasts to Skip when shuffling, so in Shuffle mode, once a Podcast finishes, since all the others are set to skip, iTunes should stop. But if Shuffle is turned on then off again, iTunes mistakenly plays Podcasts at random, even though Shuffle has been turned off! Surely, this is a bug?
    At least though, it is possible to make iTunes play one Podcast episode, then stop, (as I expected, so not a bug at this point!). Simply turn on Shuffle (and leave it on).

  • Sound to play one at a time

    How do I make a command saying:
    if sound is playing - dont play sound, else, play sound?
    so that the sound effect only plays one at a time. So if holding down SPACEBAR for example, the sound will play and only after the sound finishes, can it loop if SPACEBAR is still pressed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, I'll just copy and paste the relevent parts: (This is for a car-racing game)
    onClipEvent(enterFrame)
         HAND = Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)
         if (HAND) {
            speed  *= handbrake
            //sound
            var screechSnd:Sound = new Sound();
            screechSnd.attachSound("TireScreech");
               screechSnd.start();
            // SKIDDIES
            if (speed > MAXskiddisplay) {
            steer = steer_handbrake;
            if (!skidding) setLastpos();
            skidding=skid(HAND);}
            traction = handbrake_traction/surface; }
        else {
            skidding=false;
            traction = Math.max(traction_max, Math.abs((speed-MAXturnSpd)/surface))
            steer = steer_normal }
    So basically, when the handbrake (spacebar) is pressed, the handbrake effect will be applied to the car and it will skid (which works), but the problem is I also want a sound to play when it spacebar is pressed.
    The sound does play, however, when pressed, the sound plays many times over at the same time, rather than letting the sound finish for the sound to repeat itself again (if spacebar is still pressed - that is).
    Thanks again in advance

    How do I get it to just play through all the podcasts that I've downloaded just like my 1st gen?
    Group and order your podcasts to a playlist. Then play them from the playlist.

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time, it wont play my playlist or library

    all of a sudden my itunes will only play one song and then stop and when i press the "next" button, it just stops the song playing. and now there are check boxes in front of each song and i dont know what it means? i just want to be able to put my library on shuffle and play through them!!

    The check boxes have been there for as long as I can remember. You can see them in screenshots back as far as iTunes 1: iTunes Screenshots
    The check boxes have a number of uses: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    The iPod has an option to only sync checked songs
    The Genius & iTunes DJ features will ignore unchecked songs
    Basically unchecking is a way of telling iTunes to ignore the item and exclude it from other automatic features.

  • ITunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do  I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

    iTunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

    That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
    Go into Song view and Ctrl-click one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
    If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):
