Songs arent in order on Ipod
Hi all just a quick one i hope someone will be able sort out for me. Some albums i recently put on my ipod dont play in order. they are in order on itunes an even in order on my ipod when looked at on itunes but not when i disconnect an play! ive tried everything, going on get info and changing tabs an track listings etc but still to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks, Kev
mhm ... are the songs shown in order if you look at them on the iPod display (not the iPod in iTunes). if not, it's most likely because you havn't entered any "track number" information. without those, the iPod naturally can't sort your songs.
but since you say iTunes DOES sort them correctly, and iTunes shouldn't be able to do so if there are no track number infos, I guess you entered them correctly.
only other thing I could think of is that you accidentelly have shuffle turned on? press the center button a couple of times when you are playing a song. you will get to the "shuffle"-option at the bottom of the screen, if it is turned to "songs" or "albums" then that is your problem. turn it to "off" and the problem is solved.
if shuffle IS off ... uhm ... I don't know. If your songs are tagged correct and shuffle is off your iPod SHOULD play them in the right order ...

After i purchase music, my songs arent syncing to my ipod nano?
After I purchase music, my songs arent syncing to my ipod nano?
I have the same question. My Itunes is on my laptop, my ipad, and my nano. I just purchased new songs on my ipad. You can see them in the ITunes Library on my ipad and laptop. I plug in my nano and manually press SYNC as it is not doing it automatically. It looks as though it is syncing, but newly downloaded songs do not show up on nano. Help...

How to play songs in sequential order on iPod touch 4th Gen. ?
How do I play songs in sequential order on a specific album? Some albums should be listened to that way, for example LIVE CONCERTS or concept albums. I have an Ipod Touch 4th Generation. I have turned OFF shuffle play, but that did not help.
Arrange them in a Playlist in the proper order and then just play that playlist.

For some reason the order of some of my songs is different then how they show up on the album and on iTunes. When I click the "Album" in iTunes they are in the correct order when it shows "album by artist" and "album my year" but not when it says just "album. However, when I try an put this on my iPod they copy in the wrong order. This never was a problem until I downloaded the newer version of iTunes.
Any suggestions of why this is happening and how to fix it??
Thanks,
JamesOMG I Found Out How To Fix It. Go to the album in iTunes and right click on the whole album and hit get info. then go to sorting and fill in the first the sections with the info of the album and then sync your ipod and that should fix the problem!!! if it works your welcome in advance

Songs out of order on iPod but not in iTunes!
Ever since I’ve upgraded to iTunes version 7 my iPod has had some errors. I have all my songs in order in my iTunes. The track numbers are right, the disc numbers are correct, etc. All the info is the same for all songs. But for some reason some albums have been switched around on the iPod. Not all of the albums, just some. Even albums that I moved onto the iPod before the update have changed their order. Anyone have any idea what is happening or if you're having the same problem? From looking at other posts I think this is a programming problem on Apple's side, and I hope they see this and figure it out. Thanks for any help any of you can offer!
Hello, I'm having the same issue. songs are out of order on the ipod but on itunes it looks fine.
whats going on exactly?? -
I am frustrated i just downloaded itunes to my laptop and purchased songs they arent downloading to my ipod.
I have done many times in the past on my desk why is it working working?I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.) -
There is some kind of organization that it's using, but I don't know what that organization is. It displays like fifty songs in alphabetical order (not songs by the same artist or on the same album or anything) but then when it gets to Z, the next fifty songs are shown organized in alphabetical order starting with A again. So it looks kind of like this on my iPod songs list: (using foods instead of songs)
Apple
Banana
Carrot
Donut
Eggplant
Fruit salad
Granola
Hot dog
Ice cream
Jerky
Lemon
Meatloaf
Nutella
Orange
Pear
Raisin
S'mores
Vegemite
Watermelon
Yogurt
Angel food cake
Bread
Coconut
Gravy
Lime
Oatmeal
Peach
Red velvet cake
Sausage
Turkey
Vegetables
Avocado
Bacon
etc.
It's gotten very annoying, because it's incredibly difficult to find songs with no known organization. I tried looking through the "Settings" menu but there was nothing I could find that would help me take care of this.I got it to reorganize alphabetically by resetting the iPod, but then when I synced it again, it went back to the way it was before, and resetting it didn't work. I tried resetting it while it was still plugged into the computer and that worked. So for now, the problem is solved. I'm just gonna post this so that if anyone else needs the solution to this, they can find this somewhat unreliable one, because I've been looking at other questions on this site and apparently nobody that asked a question about this has ever found a solution, so... yeah. If anyone knows a more permanent solution to this problem, though, please, please please let me know!!

i've read a lot of posts about trying to get your songs in abc order, but none of them help. when i drag the song into the ipod playlist it drops the song to the bottom of the list i've tried clicking the name tab at the top but nothing. the only sure way to get the newly added songs in abc order is to completly remove the playlist from the ipod click the name tab in the playlist then put the playlist back into the ipod but its getting annoying waiting 10-15 minutes while all the songs get but back into the ipod. anyone know of a quick way to get them in abc order?

Song order on ipod playlist problem.
I just got a new Ipod (30G) and I just finished putting 1000+ songs on it, it was hard work but i finally got it. Yet I found out that my ipod is doing to the same things my other one was doing, Instead of sorting the songs in Alphabetical order by Artist in my playlist, it will only sort it by the date added instead.
I put my songs manually instead of syncing and Im not about to reorganize all my songs on Itunes for this problem.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks.
Windows XPIf you go into iTunes, select the playlist then right click and pick "Copy To Playorder" it will leave the order the way it is. I think it transfers that way to the iPod as well. Not sure how Manually syncing effects that, but you may need to redrag the playlist over to the iPod for it to take effect. Try it on a small playlist first and see if it works.

Basically I've got a Volkswagen Passat which allows me to play an MP3 player through the radio system. I also own a iPod Nano (6th Generation) which I'm hoping to use in my car. Have just tried it now and it seems to just want to play my songs in alphabetical order instead of each album in order. Is this something I need to change on my iPod or in my car ?
Hi wisdoms2,
It sounds like the settings may be set to play the same song over and over. Check out the chart on page 21 of this user guide and see if that is what is causing the issue:

How do i get to put my songs in alphabetical order on my iPod ?
I put my songs in alphabetical order on itunes, i sync the iPod but when i look on my iPod the songs are not in alphabetical order .. anyone can help ??
I'm pretty sure everything from the 'Songs' list on the iPod is automatically alphabetical. It's the same on all iPods as well. Maybe you have some other characters in front of the song name or perhaps you're looking at a song list through another list such as 'Artist' or 'Genre'?

Alphabetize Song Title Sort Order Under Genre on iPod
Here is the general idea of what I am trying to do on the iPod. When viewing songs on the iPod, if I select Genre from the main menu, I cannot find a way to display all the song titles in a selected genre in alphabetical order. This can be done easily with the songs in iTunes on the laptop or desktop but seemingly not in the iPod. There is no big problem if you have only a handful of songs in any one genre but if you have several hundred songs in a particular genre and titles do not display in alphabetical order, then finding a desired song is very time consuming and necessitates scrolling through the entire list. Is there a way to alphabetize the song title sort order within Genre on the iPod?
Get external hard drive. Backup all your music files and wipeout iTunes from computer. The. Reinstall and update version if necessary. The. Connect external hard drive and set hard drive folder at default in iTunes preferences. Transfer music to library and when prompted hit automatic organizing z

Unable to correct Album: 'Song play Order' on iPod
Windows Itunes (version 7.01): Sync to iPod Enabled (manually manage songs & videos box is: UNchecked)
Ipod 5G 60 GB (OS 1.2): Shuffle play set to OFF
When I recently added a new album (of ten songs) into iTunes, I forgot to enter their correct corresponding track number. I subsequently (in iTunes) entered the album artist's name (same for all songs) and corresponding correct track numbers (1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc), with the album's song order now appearing & playing (in iTunes) correctly now.
I then SYNCED my iPod to iTunes, with the iTunes display window confirming that these songs were being updated on my iPod. The artist-album song list order (albeit greyed out) under the "MY iPod" icon in the iTunes Device>Music section also confirmed that the album song order had been succesfully changed. Interestingly enough, I noticed it's NOT possible to CHANGE the song sort category here in the iTunes DEVICE section (always remains on 'artist'), even though I'm able to change the sort category in the iTunes LIBRARY section. I had expected that whatever category was selected in LIBRARY section would be reflected in the DEVICE > MY iPod section as well. Why is this not the case? :confused:
Strangely enough, when I then EJECT my iPod from the PC and call up the above Artist>Album, the album's songs still appear in the original (WRONG) :mad: order as when the album's songs were when initially loaded . What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something here?
How can I get my Album Songs to play in the correct (ammended in iTunes) order, on my iPod too?
Thanks in advance for all help and assistance.

iPod 5th Generation 60 GB Windows XPHi Snubnog,
Many thanks to your reply and informative link, I now use this succesful work around solution: 1) removing the recently tag edited songs from my iTunes library and then 2): re-importing them back into the iTunes Libary. Following this, and syncing my iPod up to the iTunes library again, my album songs now appear in correct play order.
Thanks again for your help.

I use my iPod Touch with Nike+ while running. I have setup my workouts into my iPod but when I can't get my playlists to stay on "shuffle". The playlists only play in alphabetical order. Is there a way to make sure the songs play on shuffle and not in alphabetical order?
similar problem with my 6th generation ipod nano. if i select a playlist within the nike+ workout function it only ever plays the songs in alphabetical order of artists.
the shuffle works fine if i'm playing the playlist outside of the nike+ environment
never had these problems with my 2nd generation or 4th generation nanos
