Shuffle Playing iPod Nano Playlist

I was wondering if it was possible to play iPod Nano playlists in a "shuffle" mode. I can successfully play my entire music archive that is on the iPod in "shuffle" mode, but I would like to be able to just play a certain playlist in "shuffle" mode. Thanks for any information on this question.

Yes it can be done.
Menu, Settings, Shuffle - Off, Songs, Albums
Then go back and select your playlist and start it going.
Regards,
Colin R.

  • TS3700 After synched with PC, verified song played perfectly at PC. Once played IPOD NANO by itself, song stopped after about one minute. Happens to every song. Why?

    After synched with PC with all songs transferred via iTunes, I verified all songs played perfectly at the PC. Once played IPOD NANO (6th generation) by itself, the song stopped after about one minute. This happens to every song. Why? I checked the IPOD NANO setting, but do not see anything need to be changed.

  • Can I set the ipod to shuffle play only a playlist?

    I have an iPod classic. Can I set it to shuffle play only a selected playlist? It looks as though I can only shuffle all the songs on the iPod.

    Usually, in addition to the "Shuffle All" function on the main menu, there's a shuffle play mode that can be toggled during playback.
    Start playing your desired playlist, then press the center button and see if there's an option to toggle shuffle mode on.

  • Exclude songs from shuffle on iPod Nano?

    Hi,
    Does anuyone know if it's possible to exclude certain tracks from playing when I choose to shuufle the tracks on my nano?
    I have 80 tracks by one sratis (all spoken word) which I don't want to hear when i shuffle the tracks.
    Thanks

    If you put the tracks you want to hear in a playlist, and then go into that playlist, you can set the iPod to only shuffle within that playlist. To do this, start playing within that playlist, but don't use the shuffle on the main menu, use the one in settings and it will keep you inside your current playlist, album, artist, etc.

  • IPod Nano playlist cannot be edited

    I have an iPod Nano 6th generation. My computer recognizes and says it syncs but it does not.
    I have 2 playlists and when I click on them, they are grayed out. I can't play them from my computer and I cannot edit the playlist.
    The music plays fine on the Nano itself. Why are the libraries grayed out and how do I fix it?
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Because you are auto syncing your Nano. If you switch to manually managing your music those will be accessible.

  • How do I turn off the tiny Shuffle-sized iPod Nano (v6 with a touch screen) when not using its iOS?

    Hello and happy new year.
    I decided to use this used iPod Nano (touch screen) as an eight/8 GB flash disk/storage (FAT32). I can access the files just fine. I can always restore it back to use iOS quickly and easily if needed.
    However, it never seems to turn off/sleep. I tried holding down the big button on top right (next to the two volume controls [+ and -]), but it never does anything. Also, it says "OK to disconnect." when disconnected.
    So, I restored its iOS v1.2 from an old 15" MacBook Pro (2008; Mac OS X 10.5.8) onto it and can turn off easily. However, I cannot access its drive since it is not a MS FS and Windows XP Pro. SP3 asked me to format. How can I turn it off and still use it as an 8 GB USB flash disk/drive without installing and using iTunes?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey,
    Holding in the play/pause and the menu (select) button will force the iPod into disk mode. This is the stand by mode you are talking about.
    To turn your iPod off properly you will want to hold down the play/pause button until the screen goes blank and then turn the hold switch on. This is cause the iPod to go to the Apple screen when it turns back on.
    Hope this helps,
    Ms D.

  • Playing ipod nano through home sound system

    I want to play my ipod (nano) through my panasonic dvd player + sound system. Ive tried heaps of leads into every plug socket in the dvd player, but no tunes!
    What type of lead do i need?
    Where do i plug it into in the player??
    Do i just press play to start playing?

    Just to expand on what Chris said.
    The phono inputs of a stereo amp are designed to accept the inputs of a moving magnet (or sometimes a moving coil) phono cartridge on a turntable. These are low output devices and so the phono input is engineered to amplify the signal.
    A line level output such as the iPod doesn't need such amplification and so, if you connect the iPod to the phono input of your stereo you will overload that input. The sound will be distorted and in many instances may cause damage to the speakers. The phono input is for turntables only. Connect the iPod to a line level input as previously mentioned.
    The reason you will get a better sound from the iPod when connected to a stereo and using the line out port from the dock (and not the headphone jack on the iPod itself), is that the headhpone socket is powered by a low quality amp. It's meant to drive an easy load like headphones and not the input of a stereo.

  • Complicated question: iPod nano/playlists from cloud

    A little hard to explain but here goes...
    I have an old iPod nano without internet capability.  If I get iTunes Match, I can pop in a CD & upload the tracks to my iMac.  They will then be available in the cloud.  I assume I can then delete the track from my iMac & still have access to it in the cloud for streaming.  Right?
    Assuming that's right, if I have a playlist that I sync with my iPod, will it still work with tracks that I have in the cloud, but not physically on my computer.
    Here's how I think it works:
    I make a playlist from songs in the cloud synced with my iPod.
    I connect the iPod.
    iTunes will DL the songs onto my computer in order to transfer them to my iPod.
    I disconnect the iPod.
    I delete the tracks from my Computer.  (They're still in the cloud.)
    The next time I connect & sync my iPod, will it lose the tracks that are in the cloud but not on my computer?  Will it re-DL them?
    My goal is to have a large library to choose from for my iPod without keeping all those tracks physically on my iMac.

    Hi
    I suggest that you read this Make and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only stream from the cloud.
    The music needs to be on your hard drive to sync with the iPod nano. If you delete tracks from your hard drive, they will be removed fron the nano next time you sync.
    Why do you need to stream music on your imac? Do you need to free up hard drive space?

  • Ipod nano playlists are strange

    Hi. I have an ipod nano - not sure which generation - it is silver with a touch screen - tiny approx 3.5 cm square.
    Suddenly some of the playlist songs I have had on my ipod are missing. Most of the playlists have reduced themselves by 1/2 - 1/3...in other words if the playlist on my computer has 25 songs, there might be 5 on there - there could be 8 - it is random which songs are there and which are not - there is no pattern I can see. I use these playlists as I'm a Les Mills Instructor. It is very frustrating.
    I also have difficulty in the new version interface - I manually synche my playlists. Prior to the new version, you could tick the playlists you wanted to download to the ipod from the summary tab - I cannot see where or if this option is available anymore... Please Help Me!!!!!!

    Hello garratt,
    How do you have your iPod set up to sync with your iTunes library? What options to you have selected from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs for your iPod in iTunes? Knowing this information could potentially help us narrow down the problem.

  • 2 ipod shuffles + 1 ipod nano ON ONE PC

    We started with using 1 shuffle on the fam pc but when we added the 2nd, my daughters told me that it messed both of their music lists up. We really didn't resolve this issue; we ended up using 2 separate PCs. Now my son has a shuffle and I need to know how I can (safely) use 2 shuffles and 1 nano on 1 PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • TS1363 replacing ipod shuffle with ipod nano ?

    Replacing and older ipod shuffle with a new ipod nano.  Cant get itunes to recognize the device so I can download my songs.  Any help out there?

    Getting iTunes (and your computer) to recognize your shuffle is one problem. 
    Also, you can't use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and those can also be re-downloaded from the iTunes Store Purchased screen).  However, there are third-party utilities that can be used for iPod to computer transfer of song files.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    But you would have to get your shuffle recognized by your computer first, before any type of transfer would work.

  • How to - iPod Shuffle to iPod Nano

  • How to install the itunes on windows ME for play ipod nano

    I buy the ipod nano,but i don't know how to save the music my ipod nano by itunes,because i cannot install the disc on windows ME,PLEASE HELP

    Sorry, but itunes cant be installed onto a windows ME machine, it is too old an operating system. You can:
    1) Take the nano back if its within your stores money back time and buy another player thats compatable.
    2) Upgrade to a better OS, windows XP is usually the one thats most available.
    3) Install another player. Through one of Bruce Hoover's posts i learned of XPlay2, a free trial program downloadable from MediaFour.com that will let you do most things with your ipod that itunes would, including updating and restoring software. The only thing you cant do is buy from the itunes music store.
    Hope this helps
    P.S Thanks to Bruce Hoover for info on a previous post
