How To Make iPod shuffle Only Play Songs From A Same Album

Hi,

I have an iPod shuffle.

I'd like my iPod shuffle to "play songs in a same album" instead of "playing all songs from all albums" on my iPod shuffle.

So how do I do that?

Do I "create playlists in the iTunes" on my iMac, and "syne it with the songs" to my iPod shuffle?

Thanks.

Hello Ed

Yes, you will want to create a playlist for just those songs and then only play that playlist.

Hi,

So how do I "create playlists" and "upload them and the songs" to my iPod shuffle?

Can you be more specific?

Thanks.

Hey EDLIU

To create a playlist, go to the drop down menu File > New > Playlist, type the name of the playlist and then start dragging and dropping the album that you wanted in there. Once that is done, then look at your sync settings for your iPod shuffle and in the Music tab there is an option to sync playlists.

Hi,

So I create Playlist 1, with Album 1, Songs 1 -10.

Create Playlist 2, with Album 2, Songs 10 - 20.

Create Playlist 3, with Album 3, Songs 20 - 30.

Then how do I "sync the Playlists and the Songs"?

Thanks.

Hey Ed

To sync playlists, all you have to do is navigate to your iPod shuffle and you should see something similar to the image below, though you will only have music to look for. Once there, make sure that Sync Music is checked and the option to sync Selected playlists, artist, albums, and genres. with that selected you will see and option to select all the content that you want to be synced over including your playlists. After all of that click the Apply button and all should be good for you.
