song sequence

Hi Roedael,

I understand that iTunes seems to be unexpectedly shuffling the order of albums when attempting to play the album's songs sequentially. In iTunes 12.5 the shuffle button appears at the top center of the iTunes window.

Turn shuffle on or off: Click the Shuffle button.

Shuffle is on when a gray box appears.

• Shuffle albums or groupings: Choose Controls > Shuffle > Albums (or Groupings). iTunes plays the songs in the order in which they appear on the album or in the grouping, and then chooses another album or grouping at random.

  
  

• Shuffle the songs in an album: Click Shuffle below the album art.

Alternatively, you can access shuffle settings from the Controls menu > Shuffle.

All my best

I have this problem, too. It used to be (since the beginning of iTunes), that if you click on a song in an album, the following album tracks would play sequentially (assuming "shuffle" wasn't engaged). This is completely logical. Now, I click a song in an album and the next song is randomly selected from that album (I don't have "shuffle" engaged in any way — of which there now seems to be 1000s). It's absolutely frustrating.

Adding an entire album to the "Up Next" list every time you want to hear tracks played in sequential order is absurd (not as a discovered workaround — I'm referring to the fact that it has to be done at all).

I would love to find out that I'm simply missing something obvious here.

There are a lot of users that have updated iTunes having the same issue or at least similar to your... review posting by Lylefish here Re: Random play issue iTunes 12.5.1

it worked 99% of the time for me... hope this helps..
