Songs repeating - or not playing in order

I noticed on first play of a downloaded album that even with the 'Repeat' facility not selected, the first song played through,, and at the end repeated. I forwarded on to the next track and the same thing happened. On another track, the song didn't even get to the end before it jumped back to repeat itself. The album was Led Zeppelins 'The Song Remains The Same'. I have not noticed this behaviour on any other albums.
Another issue is that songs do not always play in order - even with the Shuffle facility not selected. This is particularly noticable on 'live' albums.
Is this a bug or poorly managed markers in the music conversion?

I was having the same problem with all my tracks on my Touch repeating, and I could not locate the repeat feature on the Touch. I found on another string the answer for where to find the repeat and shuffle controls on page 59 on the user manual:

It solveed my problem. Hope it helps with yours.

  • Album Songs & Music Videos not playing in order

    I've just bought an iPod Touch. On my iPod Classic, when I play albums it runs in the order of songs, but on my iPod Touch it will say play Track 1 and when that song has ended it may play any random song like Track 7 then back to Track 3.
    All the music videos I have play in the order of the alphabet from A to Z, not in the album titles I've selected them to play on.
    I have Shake to Shuffle switched off on my settings for Music. I'm not sure how to correct this, as my music appears to be on some sort of Shuffle mode.

    I just solved the same problem on my new iPod Touch (3G, 32G, if it matters). FYI, I am a complete newbie when it comes to iPods, and so please excuse me if I don't identify things by their correct names.
    When the first song on the album starts playing, there is a screen with a volume slider on the bottom, and the name of the artist and album at the top. There's also a progress bar for the song near the top, and two symbols on the left and right side of the screen just below that progress bar. Try tapping the one on the right, with the two intersecting/curvy arrows, even if it's not highlighted in blue - I think it gets 'stuck on', and just doesn't show that it's on.
    I did this after deleting all the songs on my iPod, or even after a full restore, didn't fix the problem.
    I hope this works for you. I found some great live recordings (made legally!) on the Web recently, and they just didn't sound right shuffled.

  • Playlist songs not playing in order

    All of my playlists are no longer playing songs in order. I don't think I hit shuffle. I deleted the music from the iPhone and synced them all again, but still not playing in order. The songs are in the correct order in iTunes. Any thoughts?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I was having the same problem and just found an answer in these forums.
    You have to be playing a track (song or podcast) in the playlist to make the change. Tap on the album art to bring up the scrubber bar. Then tap on the shuffle icon on the right side to turn off shuffle.
    Seems to work for me so far.

  • Music playlists do not play in order

    Music playlists do not play in order. How do turn off that function and get playlists to play in order?

    In the Music app in iOS6, white is still off, but on is orange, for both the shuffle function and the repeat function.  As before, the repeat widget is a three-state toggle, with two on states - a plain racetrack for repeating the album or playlist, or a racetrack with a smaller circle containing a "1" superimposed on it for repeating a single track.
    I don't know what happens if both suffle and repeat are on, maybe it creates a hole in space-time.
    By the way, I tapped on the artwork many times before the additional song controls appeared.

  • Song preview does not play

    The song preview does not play although I have a high speed internet access and the account on my computer is activated.
    All purchased songs can be played without problems. Deactivating windows firewall and my virus scanner (GData) does not help.
    Does anybody have an idea?

    Previews didn't work the first day Sarah Brightman's new album hit the Music Store. The next day, they worked. I think it's temporary glitch with the store from time to time.

    Update!
    This is what I did to fix both the skipping songs problem and the iPod verifying forever & not able to restore problem (because of iTunes 9):
    a) I used Disk Utility to reformat my iPod while in Disk Mode using the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
    and here:
    http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml#backup
    b) Do not unplug your iPod after reformatting (mine showed up as a firewire disk) - simply launch iTunes ( I went back to 8.2) and follow the Restore instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    iPod is recognized, syncs and doesn't skip songs anymore after that miserable experience with iTunes 9!!!

  • TS1362 I bought songs that do not play completely.

    I recently purchased a couple songs that do not play completely. The songs stop midway through and also, when I try to progress the song through the slide bar on the player it just skip to the next song. Is there a way to fix it?

    Delete the current copies and then download again (free) from your purchased history. If the problem persists contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

    I purchased a song from iTunes however it will not play.  I get a message telling me I need to authorize my PC, when I go through the steps as directed I get a message saying this PC is already authorized however the song still will not play.  Any help?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

  • Songs not playing in order

    I've asked this question in other venues and have even read answers hear about how to fix my problem and nothing seems to be working. I have certain playlists that I want to play in a certain order. Shuffle on iTunes is turned off. My library is sorted by album, because one answer I received told me that the songs won't play in order unless the library is set up like this. I also highlighted the playlists that I wanted played in order, right clicked it, and selected copy to play in order. I've synced my iPod mini each time I've done these and still, those playlists are shuffling. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks

    Got a new iPod since posting this and it works just like it should.

  • Music not playing in order

    im hoping someone could help me resolve this... within the past 2 months whenever i play music from the song list and i go to the next song it isn't in alphabetical order it plays randomly not a huge deal but kind of annoying. i tried restoring my ipod and that didn't fix it anyone have any suggestions?

    Try tapping on the album picture while you are playing a song. The genius button, song progress, etc will show up. On the right hand side is the shuffle button. It is probably blue. Tap it, turn it white, problem solved. This had troubled me for a while as well.

  • IPOD shuffle will not play in order

    I have setup up a play list to play some pod casts, they sync fine, but I can not get the shuffle to play them in the order I set them in. I have set the switch in the back to be 1/2 of the way down (the play in order) but it still just shuffles the play list. Is there 1) a way to force it to play in the order I set it in the play list (these pod casts are really 1 radio show, just the 3 hours are differiant mp3's) 2) have iTunes convert the 3 files into 1 file that is just the 3 concatinate one after another. I use the shuffle for biking and I don't want to take my 40Gb hard drive based one on the bike ride due to potholes here.

    Unfortunately the issue is with the podcasts. I want to intersperse my Podcasts with some music. I also want to play the podcasts in the order I'm choosing. Instead I set up the playlist, it looks good. I eject the iPod but when I plug and play, it's playing the songs and podcasts in the order it sets not the one I set!
    That Control Click on the iPod icon in iTune and selecting "Copy to Play Order" actually seemed to work. Instead it just seems to muddy the waters.
    Previously I would set up a playlist in the order I wanted it and then eject. Then after plugging it back in the play order I set up would be gone and the iTunes dictated play order would be there. I tried the "Copy to Play Order" and ejected the iPod. When I plugged it back in the play order I set up was still there. I was all excited thinking the problem was solved but decided to try playing the shuffle. Imagine my disgust when the first thing that played was a podcast that I set down into the middle of the playlist...
