Separating songs into folders and playing all random

I downloaded songs to my Zen Nano Plus player. Now I want to separate the songs into 3 folders; Jazz, Oldies, New. How do I do that? Will I still be able to play a combination of all the songs from the 3 folders in random order.

After all day of playing with the thing, I figured out how to do it. If anyone else is as Mp3 challanged as I am, don't hesitate to ask me how I did it.

  • Put iPod Touch icons into folders and organized all my apps. iTunes keeps erasing them.

    Hi Everyone
       New iPod touch owner. I arranged my icons into folders for all my apps. But everytime I connect to iTunes it erases all my folders. And moves all my icons around. Anyway to tell iTunes or the iPod to not keep erasing all my folders and not to move all my icons around after I have organized them in the way I want.
       Thanks
    Happy Summer

    Hello Everyone,
        I finally figured it out. Did not know you had to be connected to iTunes and then you can drag icons around, put them into folders, delete any apps you do not want on your iPod Touch and more from within iTunes.
        When you done doing what you want, then iTunes syncs your changes to your iPod Touch. And your apps, icons, folders, will all be the same on your iPod Touch as they appear in your iTunes Library.
    Happy Weekend

  • Creating chapters and play all

    hi, i have a concert film. i recorded all the footage in by song, so i have 12 5+ minute files. I want to make a play all function, so the dvd will just play each song right after the ones before it. basically, how do i make each song a chapter and play all capabilities. i already made it so each song is its own film, but once the song ends, it retunrs to the menu....

    In iMovie or iDVD, you can edit the songs one after the other in the same timeline to create one movie. Drop that movie into iDVD and you will get a movie that plays the songs in sequence. Also, in iDVD, you can a chapter for each song to give viewers the options of going to each one
    With the lengths you are dealing with, you could still put each song as a separate movie into your DVD is you so choose

  • I want to consolidate all my songs bought under 2-3 different user ids and passwords into one so I can move them into folders and organize my music.  How?   and I do not have any of the old id's or passwords.

    I have an older iPod one of the first touch screens.  I bought music under more than one apple id and password.  I got a Macbook last October and I just upgraded my old 3G phone to the new iPhone 5 (16 GB).  All my music is on these devices but I cannot organize it. I tried to move songs into folders on my laptop but they would not go into the folder.  I clicked on them and moved them by holding down the mouse.  I think it is because they are from different accounts.  Or am I moving them incorrectly?  I have already created most of the folders like for Christmas music and workout.  I just want to be able to manage all this.
    I am technologically challenged so if you explain something you cannot skip a step.  I am not even sure I picked the correct operating system below.
    Thanks,

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song.  I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

    I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song.  I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

    I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

    WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
    Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

    Do all your songs have a check mark?

  • I just got a new Macbook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and lost all my songs on my iPod.  How do I get them back?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and noticed all my songs didn't transfer, including the 6 new ones I just purchased.  I then brought it back to my PC to sync, and lost all my songs on my iPod.  I'm now receiving all kinds of weird messages that the name of my iPod is a duplicate and cannot be synced (no matter what I put in it).  During the process of loading it on my Mac., a bunch of odd emails were popping up to sync.  I just kept deleting and adding mine.  Is it corrupted? What have I done??? I am a personal trainer and live by my iPod.  Please help.

    Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
    Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
    If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
    In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
    Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
    Connect the iPod to the Mac
    Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
    Set it to Manually Manage Music
    Sync your selected songs in your library.
    Whern sync complete, Eject it
    Connect it to your Windows PC.
    Select the song in the library
    Sync it.
    It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
    Good luck!

  • Ipod has stopped putting songs into the recently played list, Any ideas Y?

    My ipod has stopped counting songs and also now wont put any songs into the recently played playlist and its really annoying- Any ideas on how i can sort this out? I've reset the ipod which has done nothing and i have also updated itunes but again to no avail- Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Lisa

    I am also having this (or a similar) problem. For years I had an Auto Playlist of Podcasts with "Play Count is Zero"/Live updating rules so they were removed each time I synced my iPod after I listened to them. Recently, the Playlist has stopped updating. That is, the podcasts stay in the playlist because the play counts never update. They show in the podcast library with 0 plays no matter how many times I play them on my iPod.
    I also noticed that none of songs I play have their playcounts updated in the Library after I play them on my iPod. All the syncing seems to be going one way (from the PC to the iPod and not the other way around). I picked a song with a playcount of 1 and it over and over just to test it out and no dice/no update.
    Any clues? Is there a setting I am missing? I tried resetting the iPod.... And the iPod played tunes/casts are also not appearing in the Recently Played list....

  • Choosing a Song in List View Plays a Random Song Instead with iOS 7.1

    When I'm playing a playlist and try and select a specific song via the "more"? button in the top-right (the icon looks like a three-item bulleted list), instead of playing the song I selected it plays a random song in the playlist. It started doing this after updating my iOS to 7.1. It does not do this if I select the song by going back to the playlist using the arrow button in the top-left. It does not do it when shuffle is turned off, but I never listen to my music without shuffle, so that's not very helpful to me I've tried it with multiple playlists and multiple songs, same result.
    Any thoughts on if this is a setting, or is this a bug?

    Try quitting the Music app and then reset the iPhone like I describe below.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • How to organize apps into folders and make them stick in iphone 3gs?

    Four hours down the drain! Darn, I decided to finally learn how to organize my apps into folders and do it right. Instead I spent four hours and must have got it wrong.
    I opened iTunes on my MacBook with my iPhone attached. Then clicked on the iPhone in the left side list of my iTunes. Then clicked on apps which brought up a nice page with all my iPhone apps listed in one window on the left and all the pages of the apps that are on my iPhone in the window on the right. So far this is what I think the User Manual and Help said to do.
    At that point I created new folders by dragging one app over another. For example, I would find a photography app and drag it onto another photography app. That automatically created a folder with the name photography. Just what I wanted. I then looked for more photography apps and dragged them to the folder.
    This is not too easy because I had eight pages of apps. At first, I would grab an app on a page and drag it to where I knew the corresponding folder would be and put it into the folder.
    Later I found another way was to use the list of my apps on the right to put them in apps.
    In the end, from what appeared on the screen, it seemed to me that most of my apps were in folders and the folders were either on page one, two, or three. At that point I thought that I should sync the MacBook with the iPhone, I believe, and did so.
    When the sync was finished I took the iPhone off the computer and looked at it. NONE of the folders I created, nor the organization into folders of the apps were on my iPhone!
    Obviously, I did something wrong since the same mess was on the iPhone as before, with apps all over the place and impossible to locate without taking too much time. This after four hours of work looking at a 13 in. laptop screen!
    What I hope is that someone smarter than me will look at what I did and tell me where I went wrong.
    I want the apps on the iPhone to be organized into logical folders so it is easier to find them. Something along the lines of a good database, you know?
    Thank you for reading to the end of this question,

    OK, I spent another afternoon doing the job started yesterday. Last night (could not sleep, so might as well think) I got to thinking that I really must have missed a step or something because all my work was done on the Mac and I did not recall any time when I transferred the new setup with folders to the iPhone.
    Sure enough, when I tried it today I did find that missing step. When looking at the Home Page of the iPhone or any page being worked on, in the lower right hand corner two buttons say
    SYNC APPLY
    I do not recall using the APPLY button on the first day trying this, but I used it this time.
    After making changes, I hit APPLY and the computer began to sync with the iPhone.
    This time, although there is nothing telling the user what is going on, the sync actually makes the iPhone pages to look exactly like the pages created on the Mac.
    Too bad the instructions and help did not say to do things in this way, which is the only correct way, as far as I can tell.
    I have about 155 apps on the iPhone, making the job extra lengthy. However, I never could do it on the iPhone’s tiny screen, even though it is possible, so this was good - working on the larger screen of the MacBook.
    There are also some (undocumented?) tricks in using the MacBook for this task. For example, it is possible to create a folder and then, using the list of all apps on the iPhone that is on the left side of screen, open the folder, click on the check box next to any app you want to put in the folder and it will jump right in!
    If the check box already has a check mark, just click the box to remove it, click again to put the check mark in the box and voila the app takes off for the folder. This also works to just put apps onto a certain page, if you want to do that, but dragging apps around sometimes works better.
    I hope it will not be necessary to do this again because of the time involved, and he need for quite a bit of thinking on how to move the apps and folders around to get everything just where you want it on the iPhone. The work reminded me of an old kids game that has a small square case with, I guess eleven movable numbers, that are all mixed up, and one space that is not filled with a number. You can move the little squares with the numbers around inside the case to try to line the numbers up in order from 1-11 and do it faster than anybody else.
    Well, unfortunately lining up all my apps was like that because each page of the iPhone only holds 16 folders or apps and each folder is limited to 12 apps. Starting with 155 apps it takes too much mouse maneuvering to make the process easy.
    Finally, the automatic folder names are very broad, as in MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, SPORTS and such, so I often just deleted the given categories and put my in my own. Also, some day I may break down the folders more because twelve apps in one folder means the apps are still pretty much out of view.
    I wrote this in case anyone else finds it and has the same irksome product. If I just reinvented the wheel, please do not tell me now.

  • How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

    How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

    I have this problem too. I am researching now. Here is what I know so far. If you right click a song then get ifo the it will say Protected AAC or purchased AAC. Protected wont play on sonos, purchased will play on sonos. It seems that all my protected were purchased 2005 to 2009 or so. I am trying to find out if apply will convert these for a small dfee or if I use the itunes cloud these tunes will convert for me. downloading and reloading is not an option for me. Pretty much a money grab by apple either way. I am sure Steve is smiling.

  • Firefox 4 Hidden Cache Divided Into Folders, and Folders Within Folders

    Firefox 4 - Hidden Cache Divided Into Folders
    I don't want cache divided into folders and more folders.
    It's now virtually impossible to copy and save streamed media directly from the hidden cache.
    Solution to permanently eliminating all the folders and reverting back to 1 cache folder filled with a list?

    I'll try to explain this more coherently -
    documents and settings/owner/local settings/application data/mozilla/firefox/profiles/profile-name_default/cache
    Firefox 4 has a new caching system
    cache - open up and say hello to multiple folders and subfolders, instead of single cache folder filled with cached files
    This is making it an utter nightmare to try and copy/save streamed media, flash videos, unsaved pictures, other documents, etc
    Many files in the hidden cache are not stored in "Temp" folder or "Temporary Internet Files" folder, the hidden cache is the only location where they're stored
    How can users revert back the old cache (single folder) system?

  • Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

    Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

    You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available.  You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.
