Songs changing

The songs change really slow and it seems to actually freeze eerytime i change the song that is playing is there a way to fix that?

You will have better luck getting responses if you follow some basic forum rules. The subject line needs to give people an idea of your issue so they can know if they can help. Just "songs changing" is too vague. Also the less information you give the less helpful responses other people can give you.
When you say "songs change really slow" are you saying there is a gap between when one song ends and another begins? Have you looked to see if iTunes is the program using up most of the CPU time? It could be another application that is using most of your system resources so other apps can not get enough.
iTunes 7.0 has lots of performance problems playing video, but I have not heard of anyone not being able to support audio.

Cover Flow Album Art won't change with Song Change

When I play songs in Cover Flow mode (landscape), the album remains on the same album that I first played even though the song has advanced to another album. Is this behavior consistent with anyone else or is this only my iPhone that is acting this way? Seems like the album art would change when the song changes, as it does in portrait mode.

I have many problems occuring randomly when i try to use Spotify on my Ipad Air 2 in the BMW car in offline mode.
*After some time Album Art and track names are no longer updated
* After some time some of the HMI buttons get greyed out
I was able to solve all these issues by temporarily enabling WLAN hotspot on my mobile phone, then spotif on the ipad will correct itself.
Of course that's no permanent solution to fiddle with the mobile phone while driving, it must be some sort of bug of spotify that will hopefully get fixed to have proper offline usability in the car.

Esd shuts down after xmms song change

I (try to) use esd under xfce4, but it persistantly crashes in between song changes/after the first audio stream stops. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem on my system running esd. I found that if I used abs to rebuild esd and then changed the /etc/esd.conf file by taking out the "-terminate" option, everything worked ok. ESD hasn't given me any problems since.

Very nice work! I would LOVE to see this with a plugin-based system. Here's a pseudocode example:
when song_changes
for executable_file in plugin_directory; do
run executable_file with_parameters song_name song_artist (etc)
Just check if a file in plugin_directory has +x permission, and if so, run it. You could make the "default" plugin use your libnotify action, and anyone who wanted to extend it with their own could do so.
I look forward to future developments.

My volume changes when songs change on 4S

This has been happening for a while now on my iPhone 4S i got in January. It started a few months ago. I'll change a song or when the song changes, the volume will be noticeably different. It seems it goes louder when I click to the right for the next song but when I click to the left for the previous song it gets quieter. What causes this and how can I fix it?

Share one calendar on iCloud. Otherwise it will think the calendar is unique to each device.

Blind Song Changing in iPhone/iPod touch request

I like the way Apple creates its products. Each modern Apple gadget is simple, qualitative, reliable and complete, polished. But sometimes I got a feeling that when Apple engineers find a good way to solve a task they allowing themselves to forget that this way is not the only possible one. Maybe I wrong. I hope so.
Right now I’m talking about one exact feature – a blind song changing. This feature is usable when you prefer to keep your iPod in pocket. And to keep different music in your iPod. You’re tired of rock and right now you want a jazz song, just one.
As far as I know currently there are two ways to change songs in iPod touch or iPhone (if you are not using external controller). A first one – Shaking feature, which you will mostly like to disable if you’re keeping your iPod touch in trouser’s pocket because Shaking will sometimes occasionally switch a song. A second one – thru the touch interface. Which is almost impossible if you’re not looking at the display.
I would be more than happy to see a blind song changing feature in next iOS update. And I have my personal idea how it may be fulfilled. In “Setting” -> “General” there are options to determine iPod behavior when you press a Home (physical) button. Below “Home”, “Search” and “IPod” options Apple could place more options for iPod behavior while device is LOCKED. And there they could place an option to switch a song. It may react to double press. Or to long press. Or behavior by any different way Apple engineers would find possible. Also that’s how they would be able to keep things as they are for those users who don’t need to change anything.
I would like Apple engineers to see this topic. To know about the feature I and other consumers with demands similar to me need. Probably if this topic will get enough responses, Apple will fulfill a request and make iPod touch and iPhone even better. So I ask anyone who understand my position to answer anything to keep the topic up.
Thank you.
Regards, Ilya

PLAYLIST PROBLEM: I did a playlist and after synchonising with my ipod, the order of the songs changed both in itunes and in the ipod. In itunes the order came alphabetically and in ipod randomly. I wanted that playlist for a party. HELP! THX

PLAYLIST PROBLEM: I did a playlist and after synchonising with my ipod, the order of the songs changed both in itunes and in the ipod. In itunes the order came alphabetically and in ipod randomly. I wanted that playlistto be played in the order I made it for a party.
Now I don't know what to do.
Thank you very much

Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane. This brings you to the Summary tab. Locate and click on the Music tab. What configurations do you have made from under this tab? Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

I'd like to turn off the song changing attribute?

When I'm listening to my IPod and I'm doing anything with large movement involved (skiing, mowing, etc), the song changes if I move my arm or body too much. Is there some way to turn this attribute off?

Turn off shake to shuffle. From the Users Guide:
You can turn Shake to Shuffle on or off in Settings > Music (it’s on by default). See
“Music” on page 167.

How can I make a copy of a song, change the album cover of the copy, but have the original stay the same?

So, this is going to take some time to explain, but I'm going to try it.
I'm trying to build a compilation playlist with songs from other albums. I want to change the name of the album in the info of the song and the cover for the new playlist. When I do this, the original copy changes as well. I don't want this to happen. Is it possible to avoid this?

Frankly I would just make your album a playlist and live with the original album names in the individual items.
If you really want to name them individually you will have to make copies of the files and add them a second time to iTunes. One easy way to do this is drag the tracks you want to a different drive (it could just be a flash drive). It will make copies of the files on that other drive. Now drag them back to an empty playlist window. That way you will be able to keep them separate from the original track until you can rename them. In dragging back to iTunes it will put a copy in the iTunes folders so you will end up with two copies of the files, the second one for editing.

Songs changing of gender after play

Since itunes 11 some of my songs get their gender changed after playing and I have to correct them constantly. Can somebody help me understand what is going on an how can I solve it?

forgot to say that this happens also when the computer is not connected to the internet

Volume of song changes when I export movie.

I imported a couple songs to play in the background of my movie. The original 100% volumes were too loud for both of the songs so I turned the volumes down to about 60% using the volume sliders below the audio tracks. But when I exported my movie (I tried both Quicktime web and full quality dvd) the volume of the songs in the background seemed to be playing at full 100% volume again. Is there an "apply volume change" button that I'm not seeing or something?

Hi into...
I don't have access to iM4 anymore... but as far as I remember: you have a slider for "iMovie" AND you have another one for adjusting the level of a CLIP. so, you need to select an audio clip, THEN apply any volume changes...
sliding the slider under the main view window lowers the playback in iM, but not of the clip....
... or do I misunderstand something completely???

IOS4 & iPhone 3G: Single Song Repeat turning off on song change.

After my update from iPhone OS3 to iOS4 on my iPhone 3G I noticed that single song repeat is turned off when I change songs or go to the next song.
This can be repeated by the following steps:
1. Play a song
2. Choose single song repeat
3. Push "next song"
... notice that now single song repeat is playlist repeat.
Alternately
1. Play a song
2. Choose single song repeat
3. Go back and select a different song.
... single song repeat is now playlist repeat.
Is this the new functionality or a bug?

same here! it's really annoying me, I keep all my songs on single repeat...
someone find out, whats going on!

Free song changes to have price

Hello,
I would like to know 2 things related to iTunes store. First is about the price changes. For example, I downloaded a free song a few days ago into my iPhone. Then the free song had changed the price to $1.99. However, I want to download it again to iTunes on my Mac. If I click "Buy Now", will it prompts that I can download free or charge me with the price? I can download all my purchased songs again for free. So, what about this condition?
Another thing is that I don't see any of the free songs I downloaded awe in iCloud. Is it mean iCloud stores only purchased songs?
How about free TV episodes and free Apps? When they change from free to price, do I need to pay for download it again?
Sorry if there were any posts out there. I searched for the answers but I cannot find.

So, what about this condition?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Apple - Sign up to be notified when iOS 5 and iCloud are available.
How about free TV episodes and free Apps? When they change from free to price, do I need to pay for download it again?
Not unless the developer has gone from "free" to "paid".. if you redownload a free app that's now paid, you would be notified.
