iPod question..
« on: July 15, 2014, 03:39:48 PM »
I have a question. I have a basic iPod Classic.

Is there a way to Shuffle songs for one artist. Like if I want to put my DT songs on Shuffle, is that possible and if so, how?
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

If you're talking about that guy then yes you could :)
I wouldn't want somebody with 18 kids to mow my damn lawn, based on a longstanding bias I have against crazy fucks.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I've had jPod for maybe seven years and I just discovered that this was an option the other day while messing around with it. I don't see myself really using it, but it's good to know...

You don't need to go to settings either. If you want to turn shuffle on or off while a song is playing, press the middle button a few times to cycle through different options, and the option to turn on and off shuffle is in there.

Thank you. I'll check that out. King's way does indeed work.

I should have read the instructions 4 years ago. :lol

I figured this would be a place to ask this question, but does anyone else have this problem?

My iPod classic (160 GB) randomly pauses songs now, usually when i have it locked. Say I turn on a song, put it in lock and put it in my pocket, it'll pause the song 10 seconds in or so and I have to manually resume the song. It keeps doing that and while it's minor, it's just annoying. Kinda takes the flow out of my music listening.
