Sequential songs in Shuffle mode?

I have several songs with intros on another track, is there a way I can make them play in sequence as one track when in Shuffle mode?

Same problem here to an extent. Some info:
First iteration iPod shuffle 3G
iPod firmware 1.1
iTunes 9.0.3 on Windows XP
I started out with one big playlist like I used to use on my previous shuffle, this played in order.
I loaded multiple (many, actually) playlists and also added music by artist, this seemed to negate the playlists that were on there. The playlist menu only says "All Songs" now. Songs don't play in order even with the switch in the "in order" position. Mayhem in other words.
So I removed everything that wasn't a playlist, and now I'm back to having playlists again and songs do play in order.
Logic seems to say that if you add music that isn't part of a playlist, it does 2 things:
1. You can't scroll through playlists anymore because they don't show up in the menu (it just says "All Songs").
2. Songs don't play in order.
Not a super duper good start with this one, maybe it will get fixed at some point though... Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Despite the name "shuffle", I do want to listen to songs in order as they show up on albums.

    My son got a Nano in April. We are very new to this technology. He tells me he used to be able to skip songs in shuffle mode. Now he says he can't. I tried the fast forward on the right side of the circle but, it does not skip the song. What are we doing wrong?

  • Playing concurrently recorded songs in shuffle mode.

    Help! Is there a way to play songs concurrently that were recorded concurrently while the Ipod is in shuffle mode? Example: Van Halen's "Eruption" going into "You Really Got Me", or the Beatles-Abbey Road medley with "Sun King""Mean Mr. Mustard""Polythene Pam""She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"

    Yes... One way I found is to fuse all the files of a medley into one file. Find the files in explorer. Open the files of the medley in notepad. What is seen in notepad makes no sense, but it is the content of the files. Just copy and paste, fitting the medley into one notepad. Then save. It saves beautifully av a mp3 file without any fuss. Import the file into iTunes, call it the medley name and you're done.

  • Browsing songs in shuffle mode on classic ipod

    i primarily use my ipod as a car stereo in shuffle mode. is there any setting or application that i can put on that will allow me to jump straight to the current song that is playing when i press menu rather than the song i first selected?
    for example a song by a certain artist comes up on random but i want to hear a song that i know is nearby in the list and i dont want to have to scroll through thousands of songs to get there.
    cheers

    I am confused by your post. By skipping songs, do you mean that the playlist ends without those songs playing at all? Or are you saying that all of the songs do eventually play but they are skipped and played in a 'random' order? That, by definition is shuffling, hence my confusion.
    I don't mean to be flippant. Just seeking clarification.

  • Excluding songs from shuffle mode

    I enjoy listening to my library in the shuffle mode but am having trouble removing certain items (itrip stations, my 14 month old daughter's baby einstein music, etc.) from the shuffle. The library is too large to create a smart playlist. I have attempted the -get info, options, skip when shuffling route-for every unwanted selection but the songs and stations still appear in the shuffle mode. Is there a way to accomplish this without unchecking the songs? I have searched every tutorial and exhausted all of my support help. Thanks.

    I have gone in under info, options, skip when shuffling for each song and updated the ipod afterward but the skipped songs keep getting into the shuffle. I'm not sure how to skip songs on the ipod itself as you suggested, I'll look into it. Thanks for your time and input.

  • Grouping Songs in Shuffle mode?

    Does anyone know if there's a way to "link" or group songs together so when in shuffle mode they play one after another? I have some songs that are multiple parts and are saved as multiple files(like many classical pieces are), but I don't ever want to here just a single part or section when in shuffle mode.
    Len

    Further to Len's post, can anyone give me some tips on exactly how to rip and link songs or parts of songs to create one track that can then be shuffled on iPod (I have the same problem as Len). Can this be done in iTunes, or do I need some other software? Can you recommend any, if that's the case?
    Isn't it a bit odd that iTunes has the ability to shuffle groupings but the iPod doesnt?
    Thanks

  • My iPod hang when I skip the song in shuffle mode

    I always use shuffle songs and skip to find the song I wanted. I have used it for 11 months and this month my iPod hang oftenly. I send it to apple care in Thailand. They take 4 days and call me to get my iPod back. They said "There is no problem with my iPod". After I play it in the same way for a while, it hang again.
    I have called my local support. They told me that iPod is not designed to use like that. We cannot use shuffle songs and skip the song oftenly. I do not think the iPod do not support this. I used it for 11 months and have no problem. When I have the problem, they say I cannot use like this.
    Is there anyone find this problem? In shuffle songs mode, using skip oftenly. I would like to double check this problem before send it to apple again.
    Thanks.

    Hi tokepi,
    I'm having exactly the same problem, and after upgrading to the latest iTunes Version it has gotten worse.
    I'm trying to find the software to reformat the hard drive of the iPod as my suspicion is that the hard drive has errors on it, hence why the songs hang or skip to the next track.
    Unfortunately I've been unable to find the utilities to reformat the drive, but I guess that Apple must have the ability to do it, or replace the drive.
    Make sure you keep all communications with Apple as your iPoad should still be under 12 months warranty, and so if defective they should replace it free of charge.
    Good luck and let me know if they get it fixed!

  • I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

    I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
    but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
    next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

    Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

  • Skipped songs in shuffle mode

    Hi . . . for some reason my IPOD now skips randomly and I'm not sure why.
    I used to be able to choose the shuffle song option and it would play all songs in random order but now for example it will go from playing song 1 of 396 and then if I press the next button it will skip 2 thru 6 and play song number 7 ??
    I've tried to reset my IPOD but still the problem exists.
    please help.
    Thank you
    Thanks

    The key is keeping podcasts out of Music playlists. This requires using Playlist based synching for loading the iPod, and then making sure podcasts don't get loaded into those playlists.
    If you use Smart Playlists, add qualifier "Podcast" "is" "false".
    For manual playlists, you can verify it contains no podcasts by turning on the Search Bar (ctrl-shift-b) for each playlist, selecting "podcast" in the bar, and removing those entries from the playlist.

  • Linking songs in shuffle mode

    I am very new to the i-tunes/i-pod environment. I hope my question has a very simples answer:
    1) Is there a way to link two or more individual songs together (in I-tunes) so that they will always play in sequence on a shuffle?
    2) Does the trick work on the i-pod as well (I have a 5th generation, 40MB ipod)?
    THANKS!!!
    Rogerio

    The only way you could do that would be if you joined the tracks as you were ripping them from a CD so that they would be one track. Given that you already have the tracks, no.

  • Deleting songs/files while in shuffle mode

    hello.i have an 80gb ipod classic.i would like to know how to listen to songs in shuffle mode without playing the language files i have in shuffle mode.i know i can just un check them in my library but,there are thousands of them and would take quite awhile to uncheck them so,is there any way to uncheck them more quickly or any other way.i would appreciate any help.thanks

    Hello joecomputer,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    One option is to enable the "Skip When Shuffling" option for each of these tracks in iTunes from under the Options tab of the *Get Info* window. Just highlight every track in your iTunes library by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking each track you wish to edit. When you have all of them selected, right->click on any one of them and choose *Get Info* from the pop up menu.
    Or if the tracks are in sequence, simply click the first track in the sequence to highlight it, and then hold down the Shift key and click the last one in the sequence to highlight the first and last track and everything in between.
    Then sync the updated changes to your iPod once they have been made. This option will tell your iPod to skip these tracks when you have it in Shuffle.

  • Ipod Nano is Stuck in Shuffle Mode in my Nissan Juke

    I plug my Ipod Nano into the glove box and I am able to use the control on my dash and steering wheel to control my Ipod. The only problem is, I can't go to whatever artist I want. The Ipod will only allow me to listen to the songs in shuffle mode. Anyone having the same issue or know anything about it?

    I have the same problem with my 6g when connecting to my Ford Fusion. It shuffles everything.
    I have:
    -- performed a "master reset" on Sync
    -- updated Sync software
    -- restored my new ipod through iTunes
    -- restored the settings on the ipod itself
    -- updated ipod software
    -- *disabled the "shuffle" options for Sync*
    -- *turned off the "Shake to Shuffle" option on my new ipod*
    -- indexed the music on my iPod (through iTunes) in this order: genre, artist, album, track
    ...and it still shuffles my music. I don't believe it's Sync because I had a 2nd generation iPod too. It works with Ford's Sync with no problems.
    So, this is the same issue with the 6 generation iPod nano with 2 different car companies and 2 different vehicle models:
    --Nissan Juke
    --Ford Fusion
    I think it's a bug that needs addressing.

  • How to relocate songs in batch mode?

    All of my iTunes Playlists show an exclamation point next to each of the songs in the Playlist. This means they cannot be located. While I can locate the various files that each are located in and replace each one in the Playlist, this is very time consuming to do them one by one.
    Is there a way, within iTunes, to highlight a group of songs and have them find the new location to get rid of the exclamation mark?
    Thanks
