Song order wrong?

Hi, I'm new to Spotify and I'm loving it! Yet I'm confused about how it works sometimes. I mainly use the desktop application. For example I would like to listen to an artist (in my example Ed Sheeran). I search for him and click "play". The first song that is listed from the artist is played, but after that, Spotify plays something completely different at random! I don't know why - could someone please help me?

wierd, because if I get info on a given song, iTunes "knows" that it's Song 1 of 16, yet in the player window, it has that very same song as song # 5!
In the player window, how are the songs sorted?
I've burned this thing 5 times, making sure that I have create song number checked, etc...
How did you select and sort before you burned them?
Any clues why this happens and how I can fix it?
When iTunes gets song names, it has the order correct, and burns the songs in the correct order. So, where's the disconnect?
How are you burning them when it does it in the correct order?
thanks!

So in one instance it does correctly and in another it does

Can you please provide more detail as to exactly what you are doing?

N9 Music player - wrong song order

Hello,
I have issues with the music player. I always copy my music to N9 with Nokia Link, and all my mp3 files are tagged by me, including details like song title, album, artist, song number. I am very meticulous about it
The player, however does not start the album with song number 1. It tends mess up the song order of my albums.
Help, anybody had similar issues?

Try using Nokia Music Player, It recognises the N9 and works great with no problems and is alot easier when dealing with your music (editing info, playlists etc.), compared to Nokia Link

Wrong song order during playback

I have an issue that the song order during playback is in accordance to the song number.
Random playback is switched off.
I delete all my music from iPhone 4s, I just synced a signle album for easier verification,
but the issue stays same.
Thanks for any help.

Leave the tracks on your system. If they are part of a playlist, first remove only the playlist. Go to My Library, find the artist/album/tracks. Select all of them and create a new playlist from selection under File. Resync.

Song order sometimes changes when I sync iPod to iTunes

Hi, I have a problem when syncing my iPod Video 30GB (software version 1.2, I think, it's the latest one anyway) to iTunes (version 7).
After completed sync, for some albums, the song order on the iPod does not match the song order in iTunes. Of course, I want the songs of the albums to appear in the correct order on the iPod.
Please note that all my "shuffle/random" settings are off.
One thing I have noticed is that if I uncheck a song in iTunes, a song that has already been synced into the iPod once, the song is not erased from the iPod after new sync. Instead, it appers before the first song of the album, which is a bit irritating. But my problem is larger that this; the reordering of songs also happens with albums for which I haven't unchecked any songs in iTunes.

More background. When I export my iTunes library to an xml file, and view the file in a text editor, I see that the tracks that appear in the wrong order on the iPod are in the correct order in the xml file, with the correct track numbers. On the way to the iPod, something weird happens.
Would be great if someone could take a shot at this.

Issue with exported playlist song order

I exported a playlist (with the playlist sorted on the manually arranged order, far left column) as a .xml file using iTunes 7.0.2. When a friend imports this playlist into his iTunes (7.0.1) the song order is incorrect (again with sorting done on the far left column). When I look at the exported XML file with a text editor the order of the song entries is also wrong in the XML file. Has anyone elsed noticed this problem?

Actually, I looked more closely in the text editor and the playlist order looks correct so there appears to be an issue with 7.0.1 (I guess).

Song order on albums

My iPod always displays the wrong order of songs for particular albums. I tried connecting it to the computer and changing the song order via iTunes but it was correct on iTunes. Went back to iPod and it is still the wrong song order on those albums. Any solutions?

I got it - some songs had "Album Artist" set, some not. Those without were at the end of the list, regardless of the track number set. iTunes disregards "Album Artist" and shows songs in correct order. I simply removed album artist in all tracks and the order became correct. Setting album artist to the same for all tracks would also work.
As for artist order, it also became correct ("The Beatles" under "B") after I reinstalled iTunes with English (by default, the first installation was German - stay away from it).

Songs order

i don't understand why iTunes get some albums with the wrong song order, even if it is specified in the mp3 file. the order is already wrong in the iTunes library
thanks

i've seen that itunes sort the songs in artist alphabetical order, given that it is a mixtape it has many artists and itunes instead of putting the songs in the right order it sorts them in that way.
any ideas?

Cannot change song order in most recent playlist iT11

Ok .. I just created a new playlist in order to burn to a cd and I cannot change the song order by dragging songs. A blue border appears around the outside of my playlist when I left click and hold on a song I would like to move and simply won't move. All previous existing playlists, created before the 11 'upgrade', I can still move songs without any issue as before.
What am I missing here? Never seen the blue border activate around a playlist before ....

I Can’t take credit for this, someone (riffraff)posted it long ago, but I’ve had to use it each time iTunes updates.
1. This will erase your play lists and music list. May want to have them saved somewhere to import from later
2. Close iTunes
3. I went to music folder then to iTunes and under this directory
4. I deleted iTunes Library files, library, extras, and genius
(Actually I just moved them to a new folder on the desktop if things go wrong)
5. started iTunes.
6. Got shaken when no songs in the music list
7. select add folder to library
8. select your music folder-probably iTunes Music folder
9. let run
10. I plugged in my shuffle, copied 5 podcasts to a playlist. Arrange in the order you want. Sync to the iPod. Detach and check. It worked for me.

Keeping album song orders in their original order???

Hello everyone,
I'm a nubie to mastering Itunes, but I was wondering if anyone can help me keep my albums, song orders, organized in their original track order, instead of alphabetically.
Most of my mp3's are in individual album files inside the artist file, with a number order beginning each track name 01_tracka, 02_trackb, etc. etc.
Anyway, when I add all my songs to itunes and use my library/browser to search for albums, they come up alphabetically totally messing up my original song orders.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks,
Tucky
P.S. I don't let itunes organize my music folder, because I want to keep my original file folder structure.

Gene,
iTunes does not use the file names to display or sort the tracks. It uses the tags associated with each track. You can edit a track's tags by highlighting the track, pressing Command-I, and then clicking on the Info tab.
To put an album in track order, you would need to enter the track number in that field of the get Info box. You would at least need to actual track number, you could add the total number of tracks as well.
You sort iTunes by clicking on one of the headers of the spreadsheet-like display. So, if you select a single album to look at, you could sort it in track order by clicking the header of the "Track #" column. If you are displaying all the albums by a particular artist, if you have the track tag filled in, then you can click on the "Album" header to sort by the album name and each album will be sorted in track order.
View Options (Command-J) only determines what columns are displayed in the main "spreadsheet" like display of iTunes. To actually sort the tunes, you need to click on the header of the column you want to sort by.

Changing song order on ipod

I changed the song order in a playlist in itunes, deleted all the songs from the list in the ipod, then put the songs back on the playlist on the ipod. It still puts them back in the wrong order. Is there an easier way to do this?

Never mind, I think it did put them in the right order.

IPod First Generation Song Order Problem

Equipment Specs:
IPOD -- First Generation, 1 G size, Firmware ver # 1.1.5
ITunes -- Ver # 7.2.0.34
Problem
I recently updated to the above version of ITunes. I also recently reset/erased all my songs (no podcasts or nothing else)from my IPOD.
I then reloaded just songs to my pod using the drag and drop method from the music file. I then re-arranged the songs in my desired order.
I then disonnected the pod and exited ITunes.
When I later restarted ITunes with the pod connected, my song order had changed. With the pod still open in ITunes, I am no longer able to change the play order position. As say, move song #45 to position #2 and etc.
Has something changed as I was always able to do this prior to updating ITunes and the pod ?
Was this caused by updating ITunes to the newest version?
Is there a solution to be able to manage the order of your songs as before ?
Thx

OK, When I am trying to do this, I see the following
columns
1. name
2. time artist and so on
In the name column the songs are numbered.
I've been referring to the UNlabeled column to the LEFT
of the "Name" column all this time... you seem to not be able to recognize that there actually IS such column according to your description.
I'm referring to the numbers on the LEFT side as in this image:

When I try and move 9 to 5 or whatever there is no
horizontal line as I have seen in previous versions.
I know how I accomplished this task before and it is
not working in this version.
Would it work to revert back to an earlier version of
Itunes ?
Dunno... from what I've read in the iTunes discussions
this problem has not appeared there.
BUT you CAN delete iTunes 7.2 and then go to http://filehippo.com/download_itunes and download 7.1.1 (under Old Versions in box on right side of page)
Install it and see if it solves the problem...
What version are you using ?
7.1.1(5)

You should be able to connect the iPod to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over and you can then sync them to your other iPod.

ITunes match matched songs to wrong language

iTunes match has matched some of my Indian songs to wrong language. Many of the big budget movies these days are releasing their movies in several languages at the same time and making them all available to purchase from iTunes store. When I ripped a CD I already had, iTunes matched some of them into a wrong language. Name of the song is still showing original, but the actual track is in wrong language.
Is there any way I can force iTunes to re-match?

Songs that are ineligible because they are too low of a bit rate can be converted to a higher bit rate by right-clicking and creating either an AAC or MP3 version. Mind you, the quality will NOT improve; in fact it could degrade a little, but the songs will indeed be re-encoded at a higher bit rate. Once iTunes recognizes that they are encoded at a high enough bit rate, they will no longer be ineligible. And they greatest part is, if they are matched by iTunes, then not only will you have them in the iCloud, but you will be able to delete the original song files (do not select the option to delete them from iCloud) and re-download the matched songs from iTunes in far greater quality.

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.
