What is faster in terms of song shuffling? touch, iPhone, classic?

I have a 2nd gen IPOD touch, will upgrading to an iphone 4 or the newest touch reduce lag between shuffling songs?
Is the touch faster than the classic since the classic is hard drive based?

I have never noticed any lag while my iPods (Classic and 2nd gen Touch) are on shuffle and I let the songs finish.
However, if I try to move to the next song within seconds of the song starting, and keep doing that, then yes, there may be a delay. That's probably because the iPod wasn't expecting to be asked to find a new song so soon.
What exactly are you doing when this lag occurs? Are you letting songs finish or do you keep skipping to the next track? How long is the delay? Some more information is required.

  • Song shuffle on iPhone is dreadful!

    Hi,
    I have just started using my iPhone 3GS with my car stereo, via the aux input. I have synced one of my iTunes playlists with the iPhone, and have set the playlist to shuffle. Simple so far, right...
    The playlist has approximately 800 songs on it, so why do I keep hearing the same songs again and again?! One song on the playlist I haven't heard for years; all of a sudden I have heard it on each of the last three days (after adding it to this playlist)...
    I should say that I'm not spending 12 hours in the car each day; just two or three...
    What's the deal?! How can I avoid this happening?
    Thanks =)

    I am seeing a similar issue. Here are the instances where I get a song played repeatedly without any variety:
    1. When I select a single song from a Playlist, Artist, Songs, Album etc...
    2. When I select 'shuffle' in a Playlist, Artist, Songs, Album etc...
    I have not yet found an instance where I can actually listen to different songs and not have to select it myself which is very difficult as I drive more than an hour home every day as well and most radio stations play the same songs over and over again too. :\
    If anyone has any insight into this issue it would be most appreciated. Syncing my Ipod with my Laptop hasn't appeared to help either.
    Thanks!

  • What does convert higher bit rates songs to 128 kbps mean

    what does convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps mean?

    Some people, myself included, import their music from original audio CDs. When doing so I choose to import using Apple Lossless format so as to keep the full original quality of the audio CDs (this is after all why it is called Apple Lossless format in that you are not losing any quality).
    The drawback of doing this is that the music files take a lot more disk space than a lossy format like MP3 or AAC. This is these days not a problem on a computer as hard disk space is now cheap an plentiful but it can be a problem on a flash memory based music player like the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, or iPhone as these have far less capacity.
    Therefore Apple now let you turn on this option to automatically convert from Apple Lossless to AAC when syncing to one of these music players. As a result on your computer the music is still kept in the full lossless high quality format, but is converted and transferred as a much smaller but slightly lower quality for use on these music players. As with an iPod you are not listening in a quiet room with high quality speakers you will not really notice the difference in quality.

    Found this solution in another thread, what you want to do is go into the Nike Fitness thing, go to run, go to Spoken Feedback and set it to off. This should fix your problems.

  • I put iPod on "songs, shuffle" but the shuffle isn't random!  Same artist repeats often, same songs repeat before other songs are played.  With over 2000 songs on the iPod, I shouldn't be getting repeats very often.  Anybody else?

    Shuffle is not perfect. What you are experiencing is normal.

  • What happens if i uncheck a song?

    What happens if I uncheck a song in my Itunes 11.0.4?

    Generally, the song will no longer sync to iDevices or play when shuffling. Other than that, nothing important.

  • Songs Shuffle with No Repeats?

    Is there a way to set Songs > Shuffle to not repeat until all songs have been played?
    iPhone 3GS
    Firmware 05.16.08
    iOS 6.1.3
    I have over 4500 songs but with shuffle on it tends to play the same songs often.
    Thanks

    Based on my understanding of how Shuffle works, not really. If you set the Music app on Shuffle, it internally creates a playlist of your music in a pseudo-random order. If you kept it running untl all 4500 songs were played, you wouldn't hear repeats. However, everytime you stop playing and leave the app, it recreates the playlist. Therefore, you could hear repeats.
    There are ways to mostly do what you want using Smart Playlists and syncing back to iTunes. You could set up a playlist with a criteron such as Not played in the last "X" days, leaving enough time to get through everything. As things go played, they would drop off the list.

  • Memory Question "4x1 Gig or 2x2 Gig?" what is faster?

    Memory Question "*4x1 Gig or 2x2 Gig*?" what is faster?
    I'm still don't know if witch to choose?
    4 times 1 gigabyte Ram Memory is cheaper but if I choose for 2 times 2 GB Ram I can always beef it it later.
    And is my memory faster if I'm using 4 slots with 1 gig over 2 slot with 2 gig?
    I'm asking this question because I think using 4 times the memory bandwidth will be faster?

    Hello Jan
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The iMac (Late 2009): Installing or replacing memory article and your User's Guide are pretty clear, they both say that +"You can use 2 GB or 4 GB RAM SO-DIMMs of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM in each slot."+ and not 1GB modules. > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3918
    To upgrade your ram you will want at least 2 more 2 or 4GB modules and add that to the current 2 x 2GB of ram. > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/DDR321.527

    Hey renie1515,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • ITunes no longer loads "checked" songs onto my iPhone 5.  It seem to be all or nothing or choose from the 4 categories.  What happened to "sync only checked songs?"

    In the case you aren't trolling, here's some alternative mapping services.
    Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
    If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
    Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

  • What is the name of the song on the OVI maps comme...

    What is the name of the song featured on the commercial for OVI maps, the ad looks as though it's set in Florence, Italy but I'm not sure. Really would like to know. Also, I believe it's a female singer. Thanks a bunch, please help. 

    bah it was a royal pain the backside to uncover which damn song this was, but like the OP I too was enchanted with the melody.  Anyway without further adu, the song is Donkey by Bachelorette.  The song can be heard in full here:

    My wife's ipod nano was plugged into the machine overnight.
    When she went running with it, there were no songs on it.  She checked the computer and was horrified to see that the playlists had disappeared and most of the songs had disappeared.

  • I used my friend itune to transfer songs to my iphone 4 but when i am using itunes from my laptop i am not able to tranfer songs to iphone.. but from my friends laptop is working.. why and what need to do ?

    I used my friend itune to transfer songs to my iphone 4 but when i am using itunes from my laptop i am not able to tranfer songs to iphone.. .. why and what need to do ?

    I would suggest that join your iphone with iTunes and do not sync. Than in your info window of iTunes uncheck auto sync of songs and videos. Check Mark for manual selection of songs. Also uncheck sync of songs window. After this sync your iphone and manually copy your songs from your iphone through itune by opening music under your iphone icon in the left status bar and copy to your laptop music folder. I think it would help out.  I did same for myself. Try out. TC
