Shuffle by Album on 7th generation Nano

My old 3rd generation Nano included a "Shuffle by Album" feature which chose a random album, played track 1 through the last track, then chose another random album, and so on.  I like this feature because it allows me to listen to music continuously while cycling rather than stopping to choose a new album when the current album completes.
I just bought a 7th generation Nano and have been unable to find the "Shuffle by Album" feature.  Does it exist in this version?  If so, how do I turn on "Shuffle by Album"?

Have the exact same problem on my nano g6. 
from older posts: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2573122, It seems like Apple had "Shuffle by album" function removed.

  • Updated my Windows 8 and updated Itunes to newest versions and now my Ipod 7th Generation Nano is not recognized on my computer or Itunes anymore. I have went thru all steps instructed and offered here so what else can I do?

    Recently have updated my Windows 8 and updated Itunes to mose recent version available. My Ipod 7th Generation Nano worked, connected and synced without difficulty prior to this updating, Now when I plug into my computer it will pop up Itunes but say that this Ipod is not recognized. I have done multiple steps offered to try and nothing has worked. Any other suggestions would be helpful. I just got this Ipod for Christmas and now can't even use it to sync content anymore.

    Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

  • 7th generation nano update does not download

    I have a 7th generation nano that needs to be updated to 1.0.3 from 1.0.2.  When I launch iTunes (version 11.1.5.5) and click "update" or "restore" a box launches to a spot on my hard drive rather than launching an internet based update.  Is there some way I can download 1.0.3 to my hard drive so I can do an update?
    I have a Windows PC operating in Windows 7.

    I'm sorry you're having problems installing.  Could you try to download and install using the installers located in this FAQ?
    Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player for Windows or Macintosh?

  • Can one import their iTunes Library to a 7th Generation NANO on a laptop using OS 10.6.5?

    Can one import their iTunes library onto a 7th Generation NANO on OSX 10.6.5?

    The seventh generation iPod nano requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.7 or newer to sync; both of these are free updates for computers running Mac OS X 10.6.

  • Does the 7th generation nano consist of new hardware or is it the 6th generation with a new software update?

    Does the 7th generation nano consist of new hardware or is it the 6th generation with new software?

    It is a 6th gen that currently comes with 1.1 that you update to 1.2.  Also sells for a lower cost and doesn't require you to pay more for the nike+ kit.

  • 7th Generation Nano Water Damage Issues....

    I had an early generation Nano that I ran with 5 times a week for 3-4 years.  Never had any water damage issues.  That Nano was lost with luggage and I made the move to the new 7th Generation nano.
    Ran on the same schedule and after 4 months had water damage issues.  Has anyone come across water susceptibility issues with the newer generation models?  I am concerned about investing more money into devices through Apple if they are just going to get water damaged easily.
    I was suprised when support said Nanos are not designed for high intensity working out (like running) - though they have a deal with Nike fitness.  Anyone have any suggestions on a smaller MP3 player that can hold up to sweating?

    Hi,
    I seem to have the same problem with my (quite expensive) shure in-ear headphones. Every time I touch the (firmly inserted) headphone-plug or lock the screen, the ipod stops playing. It seems to work fine with the apple-headphones but they sound awfull compared to them... :/
    This really ***** and makes this thing pretty much useless for me since I am using it for working out and this is bound to happen alot.
    Were you able to solve your problem and if yes how?

  • 7th generation nano not recognized but iphone 5 is recognized with the same cable.

    I just received a 7th generation nano and it is not recognized on my computer.  I used the lighting cable on my Iphone 5 and it detects it fine.  It does not power up or respond to anything.  Did I buy a dud or is there a way to detect it in Windows?  Thanks. 

    There is no way to interact with the phone if the screen is not working.
    Did you happen to have iCloud backup enabled? If so, you'll be able to restore from an iCloud backup and get at least some of your data back.

  • Is the 7th generation Nano capable of playing podcast's continuously?

    Just purchased the 7th Generation Nano and have discovered it will only play one podcast at a time and not go to the next one in the order automatically.  After doing research, I have learned that I can get it to play all the podcast in order only after I have created playlists, this seems to be a bit akward.  Is this the only option there is?  I read on this forum where someone was having just the opposit issue, their Nano was playing all the podcasts one after the other without having to do it manually.

    I am super intrigued by your question!
    I have an ipod nano 7th gen and I can not play only one podcast at a time no matter how hard I try.
    Searching the internet for information only finds people with the exact opposite problem of yours: everybody seem to only be able to play them continuously. That is what happens to me as well.
    How are you able to play 1 podcast episode and have it stop right there when it ends?
    I search every couple weeks to see if someone found the way but nothing ever comes up: your comment is the closest I have ever found. I would love to know how you do it.
    Thank you!
