Hi Jackie -

Is it that only the first track plays, and then repeats itself just once? Can you see all the other tracks in the play list on the Touch? If so, and you select one of them and play it, does it play twice and then nothing?

I have play lists on the Touch, and have no issues with them. I've just had a play to see if I can replicate your experience, and don't seem able too. As I think you are probably aware, the order in which tracks appear in a list is determined by how they are tagged. I have had to amend some tags to get things to stay in the original track order. This is usually about the source file, and where it came from originally, [off a shop bought CD, or other music source.]

I do wonder if your problem might be in where the playlist was originally created, as you said you copied them from a Mac to the Touch. When working with ITunes, I make the playlist from within the programme, and then add the files to it, and then when I hook up the Touch, it synchs automatically.

Frustrating isn't it when things like this don't make any sense -

Subject: [access-uk] Working with playlists on an iPod Touch


Apologies for cross-posting, but I am after some help please from some of
you with knowledge of playlists on the iPod Touch.

I have now created and copied 83 playlists from the Mac onto my iPod Touch,
having "kind of" mastered iTunes, (grrr).  But I can't seem to get each
playlist on the iPod Touch to play in the order in which they should.  For
example, many of them are actual albums, so are numbered from one to 10 or
12, or however many tracks there are.  I also have some playlists where I
have made up a selection of tracks, and would expect these to go in
alphabetical order as they aren't numbered.

But each time I choose a playlist, I find the first track, it plays, then
repeats itself.  It doesn't seem to go onto the next track of the album or
sequence, so I am obviously doing something wrong, or missing an aspect.

Could someone please tell me how I get a playlist to allow me to play the
album or selection of titles from start to finish without repeating the same
track and not continuing with the next.

Many thanks, and apologies for being so ignorant here, but I can't fathom it
out.

Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns
