Podcasts to Playlists to play in car

So for whatever reason the after market stereo in my truck does not support podcasts from my iPod. What I have done for some podcasts, to get around this problem is to move the tracks of the podcasts into a separate playlist, as the stereo in my truck will play a playlist. Furthermore, some of the podcasts will download into the artist so that I can play them directly from there. There are a couple particular podcasts that I have tried moving to a playlist, however, that just won't play in this manor. Just wondering if anyone knows how to get around this or has experienced this for themselves. Thanks

Maybe if you can describe the make and model of your car, we might offer more suggestions?

Want podcasts in Playlist to play one after the other

Friends:
I want to have all the podcasts in my playlist play one after the other. I read in some other post about creating an on-the-go playlist using the "enter" button.
Can someone please explain what this means and how to do it? I'm a bit lost with just that information.
Thanks,
Migs

Well...repeat will make the entire list play over and over. I understood that you wanted a list of podcasts where you could start the first one and have the list play through without stopping after each one.
Oftentimes, people will put their podcasts into a playlist and can't figure out why the first one plays and then stops, not automatically continuing on to the next podcast. The default on iTunes will set podcasts to Skip When Shuffling. So, if a user has a tendency to use the Shuffle feature, then their playlist is going to show 1 of 1, play one podcast and then stop. To avoid this, you need to select the podcasts and deselect Skip When Shuffling. (And make sure that Shuffle is turned off.)
Does that make sense?

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person?

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person? How can lots of content be loaded, so that no navigation is required, for hundreds of hours of enjoyment?
I wanted to create a single playlist with hundreds of hours of books and podcasts for my grandmother who is blind. Then I planned to use something like the app CarTunes which basically makes the touch screen simply a gigantic pause/play button for an already created playlist. This is perfect for a blind person. The problem: Apple no longer allows you to have a playlist with Audible Books and Podcasts. I have tried; but the podcasts and books are stripped from the playlist. It seems like all podcast and book players require navigation. (How aggravating!?)
Any help in creating hundreds of hours long spoken (selected between books and podcasts) audio content playlist for a blind person would be much appreciated!!!!

Well, good news and bad news. I found out how to tell iTunes that all my music videos are, in fact, actual "music videos" and categorize them as such. In the "Get Info" screen for a track, there is a dropdown selector where you can pick the "meta" type, such as "Music Video", "Home Video", "Movie", "TV Show", etc. This allows iTunes and iOS to think they are all music videos and play them in the same list.
Unfortunately, this is not compatable with my third party device, which is now refusing to play my music videos in a playlist and will only play them one at a time (in a single-track infinite loop no less). Very frustrating!

Played Podcasts, return as not played

Hello
My iPod Touch has an annoying problem, I listen to podcast(s) they show up on the iPod as being watched. I turn it off (press and hold the on/off button).
Turn it back on a later and the podcasts I have just watched / listened too are no marked as not been played, this is rather irritating feature of my iPod Touch and was wonder if any experience similar.
Its not only just turning it off, that cases this if I sync to my computer it often does not mark Podcasts as being played thus, and will not delete them, and re-sync from iTunes so they reappear as not being played.
I can end up listening to all my podcasts, then switching off or docking hoping it will erase the old Podcasts and sync a bunch of new unplayed podcasts that have ben download, but to my dismay it does download new podcasts but marks the played ones as unplayed.
I have resulting in manually managing my Podcasts as iTunes ans iPod seem incapiable of managing it themselves.
I am running the latest iPod update 1.1.4, I've restore to default settings and no joy.
Any in a simiar boat?

I am having this annoying problem also. I listen and some show as played others not. It seems to be especially bad if I turn off the iPod after listening. I have a long list of podcasts, and try to eliminate those I have listened to before syncing, which I do periodically. Has anyone found a solution or do I just have to remember the date and title of all podcasts I listen to when syncing. Having to create a playlist to continuously listen is also an annoyance, my iPod classic 40 did not have either of these problems, just a short charge battery. I don't watch movies on mine so I don't think that is the sole cause. I hope there have been some ideas on this since the original post was in March.Thanks

How to put my podcasts into playlist folders? Can't drag'em.

How to put my podcasts into playlist folders? Can't drag'em.
I've subscribed to a number of podcasts & they appear in my iTunes window under the Podcasts section.
There i have
2 problems:
1st: I can't rearrange or group them so can listen consecutively to different topics.
I must listen to one, then come to the keyboard and select the next to start playing. Now, I know that I can get them to play consecutively once I've placed them into Playlist folders,
but that brings me to my second problem:
2) I can't drag and drop them into separate iTunes FOLDERS (by topics).
(Though I have been able to drag&drop separate items from my 'Music' section into iTunes playlist folders.)
But can't drag from Podcasts section into Playlists,
as everytime I try they just refuse to go in and scurry back to their starting position under Podcasts.
Zupwidiss? This can't be.
I would be grateful for your solution.
And also grateful if I could have easily found the solution explained
before I had to resort to bothering this forum with this question.
Just using my MacMini, Snow Lep.

Thanks very much.
You have reminded of the
difference between
Playlists and Playlist Folders:
One can only drag things from the Master list into PLAYLISTS.
And can only drag Playlists into Playlist Folders.
I'm an older man, and easily confused by these things.
Many thanks to my friend in Germany.
P.S. Your English is excellent.

With the new 'PODCAST' app how do I put podcasts in playlist

With the new 'PODCAST' app how do I put podcasts in playlist so they play consecutively?

I found that if I play the podcasts starting with the last one when it ends it will play the previous one automatically.

Smart Playlists Stop Playing After Each Track

After updating iTunes to version 10.0.1.22 my smart playlists stop playing after each track. All songs or Podcasts in my smart playlists are checked so they should be playing consecutively but they're not.
Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure the little boxes to the left of the song names are checked. If you need to check all the songs in a single view at once, hold the CTRL key and check any one of the boxes.

Of Podcasts and Playlists...

I'm sorry if this has been posted, but I can't find it.
My podcasts playback from latest to oldest, and I can't find a way to reverse it's play order.
Only solution I found online is to create a playlist, or smart playlist... which brings on a new problem.
My smart playlist only plays one track then stops. I have to go in and select the next track, which again stops after playing.
How do I get my smart playlist tracks to play in sequence?
Thanks.

My playlists wont play in order on ipod playlist. why?

My playlists wont play on my touch in the same order as they show on the touch playlist scheme.Why? & ive gone onto ituned & clicked on orderofplay!

With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore its Audiobooks options and use my own playlists for access.

ITunes 7.4.1.2 wiped out my songs, podcasts and playlists

I've just installed the new iTunes 7.4.1.2 on my Windows Vista based machine, and to my dismay, iTunes shows that I have no songs, podcasts or playlists. I could rebuild the library, but because that would take forever (especially the playlists), I'm wondering if there's a way I can find a playlist file somewhere that iTunes might have saved. If so, how does one find it, and how does one install it? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

So after my last response, I have now managed to get the Ring tone identifier bar showing possible ring tone songs to show up in iTunes. However, none of my 1,000 + songs have an icon to allow me to make a ring tone.
Any ideas...

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

ITunes 9 not syncing podcasts in playlists

My podcasts all sync just fine (they become available in my Podcasts folder), but for some reason PLAYLISTS of podcasts created in iTunes don't sync with my iPod. If I put a SONG in the playlist created in iTunes, it syncs with the iPod, only the podcasts do not. This was never a problem with the last version of iTunes -- am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any suggestions.

You've hit on a couple of problems, with different solutions (they aren't really solutions, but should help).
For getting podcasts in playlists to sync: click your ipod in the sidebar, go to your 'podcast' tab and scroll down to see the 'include episodes from playlists' section. Click any playlist you use for podcasts.
Ordering in playlists is more complicated. What's changed is that the way you see the playlist on screen is not the way it will appear on your ipod anymore. So for a smart playlist that you want sorted by stationary, unchanging characteristics (like album, artist, etc.): edit your smart playlist by adding a limit (make it higher than you'll need, like 10000 or so) then picking your 'selected by' to be the order you want your podcasts in (album is the order they're in in itunes).
Ordering should be fine in regular, not-smart playlists, so another option is to make your smart playlist, then just drop it into a regular playlist and sort it the way you want there.

Itunes does not mark podcasts which have been played on ipod as played

When I sync my ipod with itunes, podcasts which I have played on my ipod are not marked as played on itunes. However, if I have played a podcast on itunes it does mark the podcast as played on both itunes and my ipod. This used to work at one time, but for some reason has stopped. How do I get it working again so that itunes will mark a podcast which has been played on my ipod as played and not remark my already played podcast as unplayed after syncing?

I'm having very similar behavior. I wish Apple would get pay a lot more attention to the numerous podcasting sybching/ playing issues. In my case, there's a couple of podcasts in particular that even though I listen to the particular podcast, it never is recognized as having been listened to on my iPod. As a result, old podcasts just seem to keep "hanging around" and are never overwritten or deleted from my iPod (4 GB , nano, 1st generation) when I sync up. Apple... pay attention... please...! Anyone else have this particular behavior ?
