Playlists in order without stopping? Can someone do me a solid and try this
Thanks.
The iPhone and iPod touch can take a podcast and play it IN TIME ORDER, without stopping, wonderfully. Say you download Scientific American's 60-second podcast or John Hodgman's Today in the Past podcast. You go into the iPod app, pick the podcast, click on the first episode (which will properly be the episode that was posted most in the past), and -- without stopping -- listen to all the other episodes in order. It's great.
The 5th gen iPod nano cannot do this. If you click on a podcast and start an episode, it ALWAYS stops after each episode. Changing the shuffle setting, or anything else, does not help. (At least I can't get it to help.) This is a real pain when driving (or other times too) because you keep having to re-click to listen to every episode. I know that a workaround is to make a playlist (or an on-the-go playlist), but this has to be done every time and is a true pain.
So, does the new iPod nano simply play podcasts through from most distant podcast episode until the most recent, without any prodding?
This is make-or-break for me keeping the nano, so I am very appreciative of anyone who can try this and let me know.
Thanks.
