Shuffling the songs in a playlist?

I see that you can choose shuffle and shuffle through the entire contents of your iPod but is it possible to choose a play list and just shuffle through those songs?
thanks
Chris

Yes. If the iPod is set to shuffle songs, they'll shuffle in a playlist as well.
BTW, for future questions specifically about an iPod, you'll generally get the quickest and most accurate answers if you post in the appropriate iPod form.
Regards.

    If you go to the Now Playing screen, the Repeat control is the the arrowed racetrack icon on the left side right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to change. It is white when Repeat is off.

    Are you sure it's actually shuffling the songs (i.e. the list of songs play in a different order each time through the list)?
    You may need to re-order this playlist in iTunes as resync it to your device.

  • With iTunes match, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer

    In my iTunes on computer, I have several smart play lists. Within each playlist, songs are set to a certain order. Some playlist songs order are organized by name, some playlists are organized by Album, some playlists are organized by artist etc.
    When I was syncing my iPhone and iPad directly with my computer, the playlists on my mobile device had same order of songs as on my itunes in computer.
    Now, I signed up for iTunes match. With iCloud sync, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer. In fact, order of songs within a playlist appears to be completely random. Moreover, order of songs are different in my iPhone 4s and iPad 2
    How can I change the order of songs on my mobile devices or how do I make iTunes match to sync my songs such that within a playlist, my songs are in the same order as that of iTunes on my computer.

    Thanks mracole. I assume this means order of songs will work with regular play lists I iTunes match. Will try it this afternoon and report.
    Please let me know if my understanding is not correct.
    Best regards and thanks once again.

  • HT1660 How do I change the order of the songs in a playlist?

    How do I change the order of the songs on a playlist.  The songs seem to have rearranged themselves.

    When viewing a playlist the left most column of numbers is the Play Order. If you click the heading of this column then it should restore the previously defined order. You will also be able to drag tracks up and down the list. If you decide to sort on another column heading, say Album by Artist, you can right-click the playlist name and then click Copy to Play Order to ensure the new order is copied to any device that syncs with the library.

  • Why can't I change the order of the songs on a playlist on my iPhone?

    When I try to change the order of the songs in my playlists, my iPhone continues to put the song back where it started.  I can add songs all day long, but I cannot change the order.  The other problem I am having is the same iPhone will, instead of moving the song I tap and drag, will move a different song.  It is usually one of the songs either above or below the one I tap, but not the one that I see moving when I tap and hold. 
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    That's the normal intended behaviour of the Library. I'm not exactly sure why it is, but I guess it's to make it clear to users that if they want to "fine tune" the tracks they should use a playlist (just like you can't use the burn button in the library).
    I'm sure you've noticed that you can still sort the library by clicking the headings.

  • "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD..."

    I get this error message when trying to burn to a CD-R:
    "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD.
    Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them?"
    I'm trying to burn 17 songs. At the bottom of the playlist it tells me that those 17 songs take up 1 hour, 66.5 MB. If I have a 80 minute (1 hour, 20 minute) blank CD-R it should burn with no problems...shouldn't it? I've burned CD-Rs with iTunes on this computer before. I'm using iTunes 7.0.1.8.

  • The songs on this playlist will not fit on one audio CD"

    How do I resolve the message "The songs on this playlist will not fit on one audio CD"  I have tried everything, and this has just happened 2 days after my warranty expired.  Any help much appreciated as I am not tech minded
    Thanks

    Firstly apologies for not providing more information.  I am indeed trying to copy a playlist which I made and successfuly copied to a blank audio CD last week.  Today I spent over one hour online looking for help and nothing that was suggested helped.  I even tried copying an 18 min playlist (a meditation CD I use) and the same message came up ... a prompt asking me if it were ok to copy onto more than one CD - and even when I agreed to that, jsut to see what happened, the process stopped there (i.e. no copying was attempted by iTunes).  I'd appreciate some insight.  Thanks

  • "the songs in this playlist will not fit" - only 63 minutes in playlist????

    I'm trying to burn a 63 minute playlist onto an 80 minute CD.
    I do this many, many times a week.
    However, with this playlist [16 tunes ripped off CD and one purchased track from iTunes - never burnt to CD before] I get the "the songs in this playlist will not fit" error message.
    If I remove a song from the playlist, I get the same error message.
    iTunes is burning other / longer playlists just fine.
    Any tips, please?
    Thank you for your time!

    Yes it will have a larger amount of data but it is
    also a larger file.
    Figure that 1 minute of 128bit rate is equal to about
    1 meg - 1 minute at the 1411 (audio) bit rate is
    about 10 meg.
    So - 70 meg of mp3 is about 700 meg of audio (AIFF)
    format.
    MJ
    Well, that would only be true if you were burning a DATA or an MP3 disk. All audio files are converted to CDA format (not AIFF) before burning to 16bit PCM @ 44.1KHZ sampling rate. This is an absolute, or they will not play in an audio CD player.
    By the way, the reason that some people get a bit confused by the "700mb data or 80minutes of Audio" has a lot to do with how the disks are written:
    Audio sectors use 2352 bytes per sector, while standard CD-ROM data uses 2048 (the rest is for error correction). You can put roughly 747MB of audio onto a disc that only holds 650MB of data (74 Min disk), or 804Mb on a 700Mb disk, hence the 80minutes @ 10meg per minute. The number of tracks (and hence track gaps @ 2sec each) will have a minor effect on total music playing time.
    There IS, however, something seriously askew with iTunes and the interface to burning any kind of disk. I have seen the same problem a few times and most of the time, renaming the playlist (for whatever reason) has solved the problem. It has been well documented on this board that itunes cannot record at high speeds any longer, and my 100% success rate speed is a mere 2x on both CD's and DVD's.
    I have also seen the capacity issue show up OUTSIDE of iTunes using FlashDrives. While the OS doesn't have a problem reading data from the drives, nor does it have difficulty in acertaining the capacity of the drives, it will not write anywhere close to the capacity of the drive. Currrently affecting all 3 systems here.

  • I want to shuffle the songs on my shuffle with a playlist bigger than 2 gb

    I have a shuffle and way too much music for it.  I have a playlist of stuff I would use at the gym but that is still too big.  Can't my shuffle just randomly choose enough song from my playlist to fill itself.  You know "Shuffle" the music.  I had a very old version of a shuffle that did just this every time I plugged it in.
    Does anyone know how to tell iTunes to do this?

    Yes.  It's called Autofill.
    Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of widnow) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    With the iPod selected in the sidebar, its Summary screen appears to the right.  There is a checkbox for Manually manage music.  To use Autofill, the shuffle needs to be set for Manually manage music.  If you changed that option, Apply the change.
    In the sidebar, click on the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name, to drop down it content list, indented below the shuffle.  Click on Music there.  To the right, you see the list of songs on the shuffle.  At the bottom of the list, there are controls for using Autofill.  Select the playlist you want to Autofill from.  Click Settings to get the desired results.
