..the little stop square pops up and it doesn't go to the next song. When I hit my short cut button which is linked to random play all...a small message comes up for a split second that says, "Queing all tracks, please wait...then it might play one, two, three, four more songs then it stops again. Looking for help to fix this...
PS/I already reset it.

X-FI2 Random Play All Problem

HI All,
I've spotted another prob with X-FI2 whichI think may be linked to it not recognising all albums on the player. Has anyone else noticed that if you go to the DJ option and choose Random Play All, it chooses only 00 tracks (the same tracks every time) and just cycles through them. Its driving me mad, I have 4300 tracks on uploaded but its just cjhoosing those 00 to play. Its also annoying because 99.9% of the time I have my mp3 player on this play mode.
Anyone spotted this too, and can it be fixed without firmware update?
Just thought, also, does anyone know of a proper user guide for the X-FI2. I've downloaded Creative Centrale but can't find any doc with more thorough instructions in than are in the quickstart guide?
Thanks in antcipation of any assistance

Having sorted these problems, I thought I'd reply to my own posting so other Zen newbies can share.
If you update with the .0 firmware, that fixes the problem of the random play all choice only cycling through 00 tracks.
To get user manual for the X-FI2, you need to install the Creative Centrale software. This then creates a folder in your program files called Creative (C:/program files/creative). The user manual is in there.
These are probably dead basic answers to dead basic questions, but if you didn't know the answer, then it might as well be the hardest answer in the world.

"Random" play doesn't work,stops after each song; multiple plays of same

One of the more annoying things happening: random doesn't work.
I've gone through the Zen Media Explorer, reformated the Zen player, so there were no songs on it.
Went and built a list of 37 songs and uploaded via Zen Media Player to the Zen player.
Went to "Music" and selected "All Tracks"
Set my "System" "Audio Settings" for "random" play.
I had to pick the first song to start it off.
It played the first 5 or so songs correctly.
Then it stopped.
I used the bottom arrow key to "play" the next song. Then it stopped AGAIN.
Now I'm manually making each song play! This goes on for 4-5 songs, then it starts playing automatically - but repeating the songs it has already played. It does not go near the other 28 or so songs that I have not heard yet!
I go back to "Music" and re-set to "All Tracks"
I go back to "System" "Audio Settings" and re-set to play "random"
And it does this annoying routine all over again.
Went back to "System" "Audio Settings" and picked "normal" this time. So of course, its playing all the same songs I've heard over again.
I have to manually cruise the "All Tracks" to pick what I want to hear.
Can anyone help me with this? I can't stand it anymore.

If you installed any software to work with the mouse, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then restart the computer and test. Back up all data before making any changes.

Will pick a song on ipod touch and then it will randomly play another song. Is there a fix for this?

My daughter's ipod. I know little about them.
She will select a song to play and then it randomly plays a different song. Often with the picture for the original song displayed. We've tried resetting and no better.
Is there anything else we can try?
Thanks.

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 Play for 14 tracks/stories in DVD SP

I am authoring a DVD and have 14 separate stories and they are all in 1 track
How can I use scripting to have a random play button in the menu that will cause all 14 tracks to be played in a random mode? In the user manual it talks about how to "Randomly play tracks",
BUT this only selects one track to play.
How can I accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Here is one for Bingo, "plays" 75 different menus with no repeats.
[Bingo|http://dvdstepbystep.com/bingo.php] though it gets slow when you get to 75 numbers.
For 14 sections the scripts can be straight foward (though not as flexible). Partition the GPRMS (1 of them) so you have 16 0/1 holders. Set all the values to 0. Make a random number, check to see if it is unused or not, if unused go to track, otherwise make another random number. Also you need a GPRM that I will call Counter so you know how many tracks, sections have been played, when 14 are played, you have played them all.
So basically (though there are many ways to accomplish the same goal, search random in the PDF) one approach is:
-Increase Counter
- If Counter 15 Break out becuase all is played
- Make Random
- Go To 3 lines of code to see if the Random has been played or not
- Go Back To Make Another Random Number if it has played, otherwise marked as played and jump to it
The image below is set up for a couple, you can code the others the same way,
but need to change line numbers

Where is the random play option in the new version?

Where is the random play option? I want to play all my music through random but you can't seem to make that choice in this new itunes. Anybody figure it out?

Could it be Controls > Shuffle?

Does the iPhone support a "Random Play All" feature?

After reading the iPhone manual on-line, I did not see direct support for a "Random Play All" option.
Please tell me that this was an omission in the manual and it is directly supported by the iPhone, because this is a deal breaker for our family if it is not directly suported.

It might help if I had any idea what that feature was.
Do you mean a shuffle feature-where it randomly picks music tracks and plays them?
If so-the 3g iPhone has it.

Why does my computer randomly play advertisements with no prompting?

At random times our computer will just play an advertisement. We could be sitting in the same room watching TV and all of a sudden our computer is talking to us. We could be tucked in bed and our computer starts talking to us. I could be typing this description and an advertisement will randomly play.

Well, some programs have viruses that have random ad popups. I say, look through your programs, and if there isn't one that you remember downloading, please uninstall it. If this doesn't work, I say, download Adblock Plus.
'''Next time, please include the kinds of advertisements.'''

Why can't you randomly play a Playli

Zen Micro is great, but I can only get it to randomly play all music and not just a selected playlist. It makes sense that you can divide your music into different playlists, but what use is it if you can't randomly play the playlist. Maybe I am missing something obvious, but I am pretty sure I have gone through all the menus. I have the latest driver that is Napster ToGo compatible. Thanks.

Jon_mx,
I think you may be having the same problem that I am having (see my thread).
Try this:
. set the play mode to random
2. open a playlist
3. start playing with track 0
4. I think if you do this, after track 0 is finished, it will randomly select another track to play.
5. Now stop. reopen a playlist, start with a track, any track but NOT track 0.
6. You will probably find that the machine will stop after the current track is finished without starting a new one.
That is what happens to my Zen Xtra. Same goes with the "normal" play mode.
Please let me know what you find.
Thanks!

Why doesn't the new iTunes 11 random play work?

I have chosen random play after album, but iTunes stops after the 1st album is played. Worked perfectly in the previous iTunes version.

What device are you on and what operating system?
Thanks

Cannot find info on using random play and regular play symbols

cannot find info on using random play and regular play symbols

Guess I need to clarify my question.
I am using iTunes for Mac. At the top of the window, below the title of the song are two symbols which I am assuming are (on the left) for sequential play and (on the right) for shuffle. Below, next to the name of my playlist is also a symbol for shuffle. I cannot figure out how these relate and how to change the selection. At the moment the shuffle symbol in the song title window is blue and the "sequential" symbol at the other end of the play bar is gray. It is shuffliing thru the play list.
Why is there no explanation available for the use of the icons and features on the screen?

After loading the new OS now my songs do not play correctly. Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn't play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What's up? Kind of frustrating!!!

After loading the new OS my songs do not play correctly, is anyone else having this issue? Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn’t play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What’s up? Kind of frustrating!!!

I had the same issue. In fact I posted it yesterday, but didn't get any replies. I physically synched my phone to PC iTunes. on the PC, under the phone/music tab, I unchecked the synch music box and then the apply button to remove all of the music from my phone. Then once that synch finished, I went back and selected all music, and synch music and apply to put it back on to the phone. So far, I haven't had an issue again, but I also haven't listened very long. Hope this helps!

Random play mode stuck in "per Album"

Hi,
I have this issue for a long time now and I'm starting to think it comes from my iTunes Library DB itself because I've imported it from my previous mac and it keeps doing the random mode per album.
No matter what I choose, when I'm in the library, if I enable the random play, it will always play the whole album, even if I've selected the "per tracks" mode.
Can someone provide support, please ?

Someone has an idea ?
Edit :
As a workaround, I was thinking about reseting the whole iTunes DB but I really don't want to lose playcounts, rankings and playlists (this DB has 4 years with more than 1000 albums).
