Random pick / shuffle function

Hi when i have alot of episodes of a series stored in a folder it would be great to be able to do one or all of the following.
A have the box pick a random episode from the folder.
B a shuffle function that will hust keep playing random episodes.
C be able to put together a play list of episodes out of a folder or a play list of programmes picked from your entire library.

A and B
Not sure how useful they would be as most series's are made to be watched in sequence due to story lines that are threaded throughout the series.

  • Pressing "shuffle" on my 7th gen Nano will only randomly pick the first song, then repeats it over and over. How do I get "shuffle to work properly?

    Is "REPEAT ONE" highlighted. If it is, touch it to de-select. Cheers!

  • When I want to randomly play (shuffle) all my songs, it seems that the same songs are being played. I've got over 13,000 songs loaded - it seems to me that I shouldn't be getting any repeats.

    When I want to randomly play (shuffle) all my songs, it seems that the same songs are being played. I've got over 13,000 songs loaded - it seems to me that I shouldn't be getting any repeats. I unrated all the songs, thinking this might affect how often a song gets picked to play. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • Random pick string...

    how to random pick the string out....when we set the total for string eg:
    string a = " how to pick out the string"
    if i choose 3 string out,
    result: how to pick....or......pick out the....or out the string...

    Or if it is not consectutive words that you want you could build a one dimensional array, containing the numbers 1-->number of words in sentence, in the corresponding array positions. Then you could shuffle the array and read of the first n elements of the array. The number in each entry represents an index for the array of words and then you can simply get the entry at that index.
    eg. simple suffle method, randomly pick an item and move to the end of the array.
    static void shuffle(int[] A) {
            for (int lastPlace = A.length-1; lastPlace > 0; lastPlace--) {
                  // Choose a random location from among 0,1,...,lastPlace.
               int randLoc = (int)(Math.random()*(lastPlace+1));
                  // Swap items in locations randLoc and lastPlace.
               int temp = A[randLoc];
               A[randLoc] = A[lastPlace];
               A[lastPlace] = temp;
         }hope this helps

  • ITunes 10.1 - Shuffle function no longer works correctly

    The shuffle function on playlists no longer works correctly since the most recent iTunes update.
    It will periodically stop playing without playing the entire playlist. It is a real hassle and kills the mood as you have to go back to the Mac and click play again. Please fix this issue as it is a very basic function.

    Thanks for letting us know, however, this is a user to user forum and not an "Apple Run" forum.

  • TS3581 iPhone 4S - The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.

    Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

  • Shuffle function no longer works after upgrade.

    After upgrading the software on my 3GS phone to 4.2.1 the shuffle function in the feature no longer worked. The same song played over and over again. The solution was super easy. On the home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Unlike a restore none of your current data or media will be lost. Only took a couple of minutes. I had to set a few personal preference settings again like my ring tone and wallpaper, nothing major. Just a few taps and everything was back to normal. Hope this helps anyone having a problem after upgrading.

    You could also tap the album artwork while the song is playing and turn repeat off.

  • Shuffle function on iPod with iTune Match

    Hello:
    I have just activated iTune Match. now I have the same playlists on all my devides, however, I am not able to deactivete the "Shuffle" function on thw iPod touch. I can on both the PC and the iPad but I do not know how to do it on the iPod. It is a problem as I use the iPod for spinning and I need to play the songs in sequantial order. Thanks

    You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
    In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

  • Problem with shuffle function

    My ipod Touch seems to be permanently in shuffle mode when playing songs.  How can I change this so that songs play in the correct order?
    Please note, this is not related to the "shake to shuffle" function - I know how that works.

    Just seen how to fix it in the "more like this" section.  Glad it's sorted as it was doing my head in.   

  • IPod nano 7G issues with shuffle function

    Dear all,
    I just bought a 7G iPod nano. Altogether it's great but I have a couple of issues I would like to comment with you:
    1. I sometimes use the "shake to shuffle" function, but when I go and turn it OFF, the shuffle function still remains (although not in the "shake" mode), and I must turn it off manually by tapping on the screen while a song is playing, and de-selecting it. Does this happen to you?
    2. When I pair the iPod nano 7G to my car through bluetooth, after listening to any album up until the end, it then suddenly pauses, then starts playing again but in a shuffle mode, without me having done or touched anything. So after the end of any album, it just turns on the shuffle mode automatically. My car stereo system is a 2012 Mercedes Benz Audio 20 system, which has both A2DP and AVRCP profiles. Has anyone experienced something similar?
    It's sounded like fun to listen to the iPod wirelessly in the car, but I must say that the bluetooth functionalities are so limited (play, stop, next track, last track) that it quicly becomes quite boring. I wish it had all the browsing controls like when you plug it in...Any comments?
    Thanks a lot in advance for you help with these issues,
    CCCP

    im having the same problem. I drive a 203 c class with audio 20 and for some reason the media interface wont sync with my ipod. The bluetooth works fine but when i try to plug it via the media interface cables, it only charges....

  • Does 'Party Shuffle' function exist on iPod or only on iTunes?

    Help! I'm having a NY Eve party tomorrow and am relying on my iPod and iPod HiFi for the music. I wanted to use the Party Shuffle function but I can't see that option on my iPod menu... does it only exist in iTunes? I have never used or created playlists before, so this is all new to me. I have an old 3G iPod, not sure if this makes any difference. All help is very much appreciated!

    I have the same question. Where did you find the answer? Thanks
