Shuffle does not play all songs in the library

I've uploaded about 10 new songs, and they show in the library but they are not playing. Do I need to re-set the Shuffle?

I have the same problem with my iPhone 3GS, without any doubt the shuffle mode is not playing all songs. I have 600 songs, and I only use the shuffle mode. Of these 600 songs:
- 50 have never been played in 6 months (play counter: 0)
- 256 have been played less than 3 times
- 129 have been played less than 7 times.
- Remaining songs, except from the top 4, have been played from 8 to 79 times.
The first four have been played respectively: 511, 319, 223, and 127 times. There obviously is a bias :\. I've mostly never heard more than half of my playlist (and again: I only use shuffle mode).
If you find a solution, please let me know

"Shuffle" does not play all songs

I have the original iphone that I have had very good luck with. Lately, I've noticed that when using the shuffle feature of the ipod, it only plays some of my songs - for instance, I have 344 songs, but only 316 are playing in shuffle mode. When I take it out of shuffle mode, the little number changes to the actual number of songs I have. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? The songs being left out are the songs most recently downloaded.

2Gen iPod Shuffle Does Not Play .m4a Songs

My 2Gen iPod Shuffle 1GB only plays songs that I purchased from iTunes (.m4p) and will not play any songs that I ripped to iTunes (.m4a). According to iTunes, I successfully transferred 80 songs on to my Shuffle. Under the Settings tab, it shows that all the songs are loaded and I have plenty of capacity available. Under the Content tab, all my songs are listed. I have the latest software version and have reset twice with no success. My iPod Classic plays the songs fine. I appreciate any help or suggestions.

Ian - thanks for your input. My bit rate was well under the limit. This is what I've found out so far. The songs that my iPod Shuffle do not play are the (.wma) songs I converted to (.m4a) using EasyWMA. The converted songs work fine on my MacBook iTunes and iPod Classic, but not the iPod Shuffle. I contacted EasyWMA and it was suggested that I convert the selected songs to either (.mp3) or AIFF. As an experiment, I converted some (.wma) songs to AIFF using EasyWMA and had iTunes convert the AIFF files to (.m4a). Interestingly - it worked. I have no idea why the Shuffle did not recognize the EasyWMA (.m4a) direct converted songs (especially since the iPod Classic and iTunes had not problem playing them) - but apparently the iTunes conversion does something that the Shuffle software requires. Still a mystery, but at least I now have a much wider assortment of music on my Shuffle than I started out with.
Thanks again - George

Is there a way to NOT play some songs in the Library while on Party Shuffle

Is there a way I can tell my iTunes AND my iPod NOT to play certain songs when I am listening on Party Shuffle?
For Example - I have a number of songs that I downloaded for the Holidays - the Genre is Holiday - and I don't want to listen to them during most of the year - can I tell iTunes AND my iPod NOT to play them when I have it on 'Party Shuffle' or when I am playing from the Library ?
Thanks!

Make a "smart playlist" and set the parameters as genres NOT Holiday
and then in the Party Shuffle get Party Shuffle to play from that smart playlist and then Party Shuffle will not play your Holiday songs
I hope this helps

Shuffle does not play all my songs.

I have over 2000 songs, but the shuffle continues to stop around 1100. The other songs do not have the skip shuffle turned on. How do I get the iPod touch to play all the songs?
Thanks,
Kevin

I am not able to restore my shuffle(2nd gen) . When ever I tryr, it says that the device contains files that are open in some other application. It does not play any song and the shuffle has 50 percent "other files."

I tried downloading reset utilities but it keeps on saying it is for 32 bit(I have Windows 7). Please HELP

The reset utility only works with Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
As for the files in use by another application, try rebooting the PC and iPod Shuffle and attempt to restore it again. Also make sure the "Enable Disk Use option is NOT ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.
See here for instructions on resetting the iPod Shuffle.

Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. Th...

my Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. The filemanager does though. have tried every damn thing that i could, from the internet. no solution yet. Nokia wont address it. any solutions? please dont ask me to refersh my music player. nokia now manufactures stupid phones, instead of smartphones..
can any one help, friends? the last option i have to sell it off and wait for an HTC qwerty mango 7.5 phone

I perfectly understand that this is frustrating and of course Nokia should adress this.
I do not work for Nokia so maybe you could contact them. I see you have been to a care centre and reset it, but hopefully by contacting them by email they can log the issue for further work on firmwares?
I hope this sorts out. Have you btw, tried with some other memory card?
If it's not too much of a struggle, try backing up everything you have on it and format it, then reboot the phone which will recreate the needed folders and then drag and drop your stuff back to it and check again.
Hope you get it solved mate!

My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

I FINALLY GOT IT! after months of relentless synching/autofilling problems on my 4th generation i figured out the solution.
this is what i did: plugged in ipod on off mode~>manually deleting my ipod's songs~>restored factory settings~>unchecked automatic synch~>made a new playlist with exactly the songs & order i wanted for my ipod (just dragged old playlists into the new one)~>then autofilled that new playlist into my ipod. came out like a charm! (before u autofill UNCHECK random add songs)
my ipod always ended up autofilling/synching my customized playlists wrong or it would automatically do my music library (and that was way unorganized), so this worked.

2nd Generation Nano does not play all the songs with Album Art.

I need help really bed, because it is bugging me. I reset it and everything, and it still will not play thoes songs. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

My ipodmy ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs, only parts then goes on to next song

My recently bought ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs synced to it, only the beginning then goes on to the next song. What have I done wrong?

I changed the iPod to Disk mode and it just blinks orange while it is connected to the PC. It says that it is synched on the PC screen but I thought the blinking orange light means that it isn't. I took it back out of disk mode. The original problem still exists...when I turn it on, the green light stays lit for 5 seconds then there's no light at all....when I press play the lights alternate orange and green indicating no music is loaded which is wrong since it shows all my songs that are loaded when it is connected to my PC. What a mess.

Shuffle does not play playlist in the order set in itunes, when play in order is selected

My new shuffle does not play the songs on a playlist in the correct order (as they appear in itunes), my previous shuffle allowed me to see tha tracks and swith the order.
Why won't this new shuffle play in the order I want (shuffle isn't selected)
Is there a way to see the tracks and order loaded onto the shuffle?
Thanks
Mark

My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.
