Using other podcasts/Changing songs within a playlist

Can anyone give me the 411 on how to change songs within a playlist once you have a workout going?

hiya!
hmmmmm.
could you possibly send us a screenshot of the playlist as it shows up when you have it selected in your itunes sourcelist? (that might help with trying to work out what might be going on.) for instructions on screenshots, see:

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.

How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic? Is this possible?

Is this possible?

You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

Can't move songs within my playlists

Tried to move songs within my playlists, but menu button is not working. I just bought the phone 2 weeks ago, never dropped it and the botton works fine in other apps. I took out the battery, but it still doesnt work.

I experienced the same problem with the menu button not working when trying to remove a song from a playlist. I did come up with a work around though. Remove the song from your phone, then proceed to delete the song from the playlist. Note: the menu button will work when trying to remove songs from a playlist which have been deleted from your phone. Then, if you still want that song on your phone, but not in the playlist, add the song back onto your phone.

Manually Change Song Position in Playlist?

I know that you can drag and drop songs to re-order them in the playlist, but within iTunes, is there a way to change the song's position in the playlist without drag and drop? If not in iTunes, does anyone know of a third party plugin or program that could do this?
The question seems weird at first so I'll add a little background. I have a playlist with ~1,500 songs in it and I want to quickly change the order of newly added songs to the playlist. Adding a new song to the playlist puts it at the very bottom but I may want to put it in the middle instead and dragging and dropping multiple songs in different spots take a bit of time. Not a huge issue, but it would be cool if there was a workaround

Many Thanks. When I tell you I tried dragging the songs around and "that" sounds fishy, just know that I had to Re-Boot twice just to get iTunes to Open today via Desktop Shortcut. Apparently, my song order attempt coincided with a rare glitch that disappeared.
Thanks again.

Changing song order in playlists - changes no longer show on ipod until sync

I organize my playlists according to how I rate songs; songs with higher ratings go at the top. When the last operating system came out there was a glitch where on the iPod (but not in iTunes) songs were ordered inversely, ie. songs with higher ratings were stuck at the bottom. This was annoying, but one bonus was that when rating songs on the iPod, the position of the song would change automatically. For example, if Song A had two stars but I changed the rating to 3 stars on my iPod, Song A would immediately move and join the other 3-star songs. The changes would then be tranferred to iTunes upon syncing my device.
Now, after having updated iTunes, the playlists are in the correct hierarchical order, but I can't seem to immediately change the order of songs in playlists according to their ratings. Instead, I have to rate the song and sync my device for it to change in iTunes, and then sync my iPod again to have the playlist updated on the iPod itself. This isn't a big deal, but I enjoyed the ability to instantaneously alter my playlists based on the song ratings. Am I missing something? Any advice?

What did you do when you " i recently added iCLOUD service "?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Shuffle songs within a playlist before syncingio

I can't use shuffle on my ipod player in my car or on the one that's attached to my TV.
I would like to shuffle the songs in a playlist and then sync it so they'll play in that order.
Is that doable?

From the main menu>Settings>Shuffle>Songs. Then, navigate back to the playlist, artist, album or genre NAME you want to shuffle. With the name highlighted, push play (not select).
Best of luck

Rearranging Songs within a Playlist

Hey folks,
Hopefully someone can help me with this...I created a playlist, gave it a name. I've got about 80 songs within the list and I want to rearrange the play order. I've tried dragging titles, but songs don't realign. Is the number of songs in the list, the issue? Had success with lists that had fewer tracks.
I'm hoping that the solution is not to create a new list...sigh. Any tips on the problem?

Open the playlist. Click at the top of the number column (extreme left) to highlight the header. Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.

Quick Question About Repeating Songs Within A Playlist

Here's the situation: I have 45 songs in one playlist and would like to hear 5 of the 45 songs being played more often than the other 40 songs. Is there a way for me to do that? I tried rating the songs, but it repeated ALL of the songs and not the 5 songs I wish.
Thanks for your time in advance.

At one point, I think, desktop iTunes used to have a checkbox for playing higher-rated songs more often when in shuffle mode, but can't find it now. I don't think that ever existed on iOS devices.

Why can't I set my iPod to shuffle songs within a playlist?

My iPod 160 GB Classic runs version 2.0.4. My iPod Nano (version 1.0.2) has that feature. In settings I've set shuffle to "songs".

You can set an iPod Classic to shuffle in a Playlist. Well, my Classic (running 1.1.2 PC) can.
What are you doing after setting shuffle to songs in the Settings menu?
What you need to do is scroll down to the Playlist of your choice and either:
highlight the Playlist and press the Play button (which will play a song at random from that Playlist). When that song finishes, another song will be played - at random - from that same Playlist
enter the Playlist and choose a song that you want to be played first. When that song finishes, another song from that Playlist will be chosen - at random - to be played.
When songs are being played in shuffle mode (the random choice of song), you will see the shuffle icon in the top right corner of the screen. (It's the same icon when in shuffle albums mode.) What happens, that is different, in your case?

Changing song order in playlist

There's one playlist where I tried to drag the songs to change the order but it won't let me. All the other playlists it lets me. any ideas?

If you are making changes in the to the songs directly in the folders then iTunes may no longer recognise them (in fact in all probability no longer knows what the file is anymore). If you want to change details (titles, albums, etc.) you should do that within iTunes itself by right clicking on a song and choosing Get Info. Also moving files directly in a folder will cause iTunes to lose track of the location, I suspect the root of your problems is the changes you've made.
