Repeating Songs on Classic i-pod
I have about 2700 songs on my i-pod classic, but I keep getting repeats of my songs. In the Play Count, it shows 8-9-10 plays on some songs and zero on others. I want to hear ALL my songs not repeat a few all the time. What can I do to make that happen? What's the point of having that many songs if your i-pod won't play them? Thanks!
are you playing your music on "shuffle"? If you're playing specific albums and artists, then obviously you'll end up listening to your favorite music more often. The only way to play all the songs equally is to ONLY use shuffle.
And you do NOT (as the previous poster said) have to "add everything to a playlist". All you have to do is select "shuffle songs" on the main menu part. If you want to shuffle within an album, go to settings, and toggle "songs" on the "shuffle" menu.
But it sounds as if you want to shuffle through ALL your music, which is quite simple.
If you already are shuffling through all your music and it's still playing the same songs over and over, then I don't know.
But if you're not usuing shuffle, if you're just pressing play from the beginning of your library, then you'd end up listening to the first songs a lot more, unless you always press play where you left off.
your question doesn't really make sense to me.... or maybe there is a problem with your ipod.

How exactly are you attempting to play the songs? I'm pretty sure you could go through the artists or albums and add everything to a playlist and just have it go through every song.
Are you playing a specific album set to repeat? You can change the repeat settings from the settings menu.
If I'm not mistaken I believe it is possible to just press play when at the main menu and the player will start at the top and go through every song.
It might be possible that the file system might have been corrupted so that certain files can't be played and that's why they're not playing, if that is the case then your computer would probably react and offer to fix it when you connect your player.
