iPod help

How come I can't get my playlists to shuffle the songs? I have a gym playlist, but when I start it it's always in the same order. I tried moving it around on iTunes, but either I'm not doing it right or it can't be done. Someone help!

Mine doesn't either and I wish it did. I started my 'running mix' yesterday mid-playlist cause I'm sick of hearing the same songs already.

I know and I have several songs by the same artist and it's one after the other. I want it mixed up!

I think if you go into your play list and start up the first song, go back to the main menu where shuffle is you can hit it and it should shuffle the songs in your play list. Tell me if that works.

The only thing I can think of is to change the order we have them saved in the playlist, on the computer. Then it will sync to our ipods that way.....? That can be done, right?

This is my very first ipod so I'm still learning...

Tried that and it didn't work. That's why I think I did it wrong. There has to be a way to do it.

Did you try to shuffle albums? I know when I listen to all albums by an artist, and code it for shuffle albums, that works. Maybe if you go to setting - shuffle - albums, then play your playlist, it'll shuffle that way. Otherwise, I'm not sure if it can be done. I don't have any playlists on my ipod to check it out right now.

I'll have to try that. Figures I leave my iPod on the coffee table this morning so I have to wait until I'm home!

I can do that? I just know about the shuffle song option! I'm so iPod illiterate!

Re: iPod help

ONly the new ipod touch shuffles songs in a particular playlist.

The old ones you need to reorganize the songs in the list. I am not in front of itunes now, but when I do I will look up the steps. fm me to remind me if anything

OH you have directions already. nevermind!
