Question

How can I change track order on my iPod?

Is there a feature on iTunes 12 to drag and replace tracks on iPod Shuffle manually?

I don't want to create playlist or sort music by alphabetical order. I just want to change the order of some tracks.

In previous versions as I remember it was possible.

iPod shuffle (4th generation late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Hello bezkancerogenov,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If you want to set up your iPod shuffle to play in a certain order without shuffling, then you will need to set up your iPod shuffle to manually manage music. After that, you need to ensure you set up your iPod shuffle to play in loop, rather than shuffle.

Syncing music manually to iPod shuffle

If you prefer not to use Autofill to sync music to your iPod shuffle, you can manually sync music instead.

Connect iPod shuffle to your computer and open iTunes.

Select the option to "Manually manage music" from the iPod Summary tab of the iPod settings screen.

Select your Music, Podcasts, or Audiobooks Library or a playlist on the left side of the iTunes window.

Select one or more pieces of audio content and drag them to the iPod shuffle icon under Devices.

If you have turned on disk use, disconnect iPod shuffle by selecting it under Devices and clicking the eject icon (iPod shuffle is ready to be disconnected when the status light stops flashing).
