Songs by Artist Shuffling

whenever i play songs by a specific artist, my ipod shuffles the songs. i have synced my ipod to itunes and made sure none of my playlists, music, etc. are on shuffle but i still have this problem. is this normally how it works when you play an artist's songs? or is there just some obvious solution that i'm overlooking?

On the iPod, go to Settings>Shuffle. Is it set to Off? This controls the shuffling for all music on the iPod...it can be set differently from iTunes.
Does that help? I hope so!

    The overall settings for VoiceOver is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.
    Artist name and song name - Press and release the VoiceOver button. 
    The playlist menu - Press and hold the VoiceOver button.

  • Is it possible to play songs by artist on IPod Nano gen 7th ?

    I can play songs by album on my new Ipod Nano 7th generation
    Is it possible to play songs by artists on Ipod Nano ?
    Thank you for your help

    when you click on artists, and then select the artist you want, it can ither go straight through all of the chosen artist's albums and songs in cd order, or you can put it on shuffle mode so it can put songs in a random order.

  • Song and Artist display differently in landscape mode (iPod on iPhone)

    I have a CD Compilation *50 Best Songs Ever*. When I play any song from this Compilation on my iPhone, if I turn the phone to landscape mode the Artist defaults back to the Artist on the 1st track, but if I turn the phone back to upright mode the Artist shows correctly.
    This is a CD Compilation of various artists, and the only one it seems to happen to.
    Any thoughts?

    No, the OP is correct, there is some sort of funky bug here. I have noticed it too. To the extent that it is almost comical. In portrait view the song/artist/album artist/album art are all correct; then switch to landscape view and you get a comical mix of songs from different artists, wrong album art (from first one in list) and the name of the song and artist are wrong, and inconsistent with what is playing. Rotate back to portrait view and all is good again.
    It is at best a minor inconvenience, and I love my shuffle anyhow, so the randomness of it is sort of fun/funny.
    But it is definitely a bug.

  • How to put songs in ipod shuffle

    how to put songs in ipod shuffle

    This document describes the ways to put music on a shuffle (and also shows the four shuffle models)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
    If the shuffle is the current 4th gen (or 3rd gen), here is one convenient way to do it.
    Create a new playlist in your iTunes library, and put all of the songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist.  (Or you can use an existing playlist.)  Back on the shuffle's Music screen in iTunes, check the checkbox forSync Music.  Choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, find that playlist under Playlists and select (checkmark) it.  You can select other items on those lists if desired, including other playlists.
    When you click Apply, the songs in your selection(s) sync to the shuffle.  Going forward, to update the shuffle's songs, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The shuffle does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the shuffle (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.

  • Missing songs under artist but still in songs

    I have uploaded all of my songs and in Itunes all the songs have artists, but they dont show up under that artist name in the ipod. Example in itunes the song is called Charlie and artist is red hot chili peppers but on my Ipod it is not under red hot chili peppers. But if i search for the song under all songs it is still there. Can anyone help?????

    They need album names.
    See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
    From what I understand, once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.
    Providing the spelling for the artists is exactly the same of course.

  • I just bought a new Nano.  How do I transfer the songs from my Shuffle to the Nano and then give the Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

    DaisyDoodle,
    The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library.  That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
    As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
    Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

  • How can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up but song and artist?

    how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
    Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?

  • HT1719 When I try to drag a song to my shuffle it says "this song is in iCloud and can't be transferred. Why and what is iCloud I havsn't downloades any such thing. Help me get back to the old and simple way of transferring my songs!!!~

    When I try to drag a song to my shuffle it says " this song is in iCloud and can't be transfered. Why is it ? I never downloaded anything like iCloud. I just want to be able to move my music where and when I waNT TO. i HAVE BEEN UNTILL i DOWNLOADED NEWEST VERSION OF ItUNES. gET ME OUT OF THIS!!!

    thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

  • My ipod starts voicing song data, artist data, and playlist data while I am listening to music.  Is this a feature or a defect?  I do not know why it occurs, but the only way to stop it is to stop the music then play the playlist again.

    To make sure voiceover is off, you need to go to summary screen then click the "Configure Universal Access" button. Then you will get a dialog where you can make sure voiceover is off. All of the boxes in the dialog should be unchecked.

  • Why does apple tv music search no longer provides lists of songs or artists based on inputing a few letters?

    When using my first generation apple tv and the music search capability, I no longer get a list of options generation when inputing a few letters of a song or artist.  In the past (up until a month or two ago) if I input "led" in the search, I would immediately get many options of songs, artists, etc. showing up in the search screen.  Now, if I put in "led" I must go to the next "page" and it will provide a much more limited selection.  If I don't know the exact name of an artist or song, searching becomes less of an actual search and more of, you better know exactly what you are looking for or you won't find it.  I was told by a service rep that there must have been a software upgrade that changed this function.  Does anybody have any info to confirm that, or is there some other problem?  I've updated all the software, rebooted the system, etc.  If it's a change to the function, it has renedered it almost useless, and that's a shame

    I have exactly the same problem. I already did a factory restore! How can this be fixed?

  • Feature Request:  iTunes to merge the "Song Name" & "Artist" fields

    This is a feature request that i would like to see in a future release of iTunes. The option to merge the "Song Name" & "Artist" fields together. This would be a very valuable option when surfing your iTunes Library thru your iPod, Front Row, or Apple TV.
    Let me explain:
    Not everyone knows at the top of their head who sings a particular song. This is especially true when someone other than the owner of the iTunes Library is browsing through it.
    Let's say that I want to browse my ENTIRE music collection all at once. The easiest way to do this, is by browsing thru the "Songs" list because it creates 1 massive list displaying ALL the songs in the library, without having to jump into different fields. The current problem with this, is, it only lists the name of the song. There are 2 problems with this philosophy. #1 - You must know who sings the songs to have any chance of making this a useful option because the artist is not displayed. #2 - It puts them in alphabetical based on the song name. Once again, not a very useful way to make this option really functional because you will have the Artists all over the map! Keeping the Artist's songs together makes it a much more feasable option.
    The solution, I feel, would be to have iTunes create an "Option" that would allow users like me to make iTunes merge the "Artist" & "Name" fields together. Make it an option so that users who do not see the benefit to this, would not have to use it. By doing this, I could now surf my ENTIRE collection via the "Songs" field in a very logical approach.
    For an example, let's take a song: Artist - "Def Leppard" & Song Name - "Pour Some Sugar On Me". By clicking this option, when browsing thru the "Songs" field, it would now display as: Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me. This allows me to browse my ENTIRE library while at the same time, keeping "like" songs together, and making it very easy to distinguish whether or not it is a song I want to select. By knowing that Def Leppard is a Rock Artist, it helps to distinguish the song.
    I work for a custom AV integration shop that has put hundreds of music servers into homes. We have been teaching our clients the benefits of this for some time now, with great feedback. The only problem presently, is it requires the users to have to re-edit every single file by putting the Artist's Name & the Song Title into the "Name" field of iTunes. Very time consuming! As well, because you also have the "Artists" name entered in the "Artist" field, you get Front Row displaying the "Artist" name twice, once in the song name, and once in the artist's field.
    Any feedback would be welcomed.
    Regards,
    Trevor

    You might be able to get where you want using Chaotic Software's MediaRage. It can automate and batch tag editing, including building a Title tag that combines Artist and Title and, to possibly address you other problem, blanking the Artist tag.
    MediaRage is not expensive and it is very powerful, you can even define regexs for how to parse tags.

  • When locating a song via "Artists," the menu goes straight to albums

    I think this has to do with my recent iPod update, as it didn't used to happen- when I scroll through the artist names all are present- but when you select an artist, for many of them (not all, not sure why not) it goes straight to the album of that artist of which you have the most songs. For example I have CCR's Chronicle, Volume 1, and when I go to CCR via Artists it goes straight to the songs in this album: I have no opportunity to hit "All" and view all of the music I have from them. The other songs are available, however by searching through the "Songs" list. That's just incredibly tedious and annoying. Does anyone else know how to fix this or is anyone having similar difficulty? Thanks.

    Two things often contribute to this.
    One is that some songs might be tagged as Part Of A Compilation (see the Get Info on those songs/albums) in which case they will not show up under the artist.
    Second, is that an artist needs at least two different Albums identified for their songs to all list under the artist. In other words, if you import a CD with album name then add a handful of misc songs without album names associated, those handful will not show up under the artist name.
    But add an album name to at least one of those handful of misc. songs and then ALL of the songs should show up under the artist.
    You don't have to do it for all of them, just enough to have two different albums identified with the artist. But in general, it is a good idea to make sure your tunes have Song name, artist name, and album name associated with them as a minimum.
