Fuckin' iTunes

So when I plug my iPod into iTunes and choose a song to play, it sends that song to the bottom of the album and it stays like that on the iPod. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, except on albums like Pink Floyd's "The Wall," when it's best listened to in order, it gets frustrating. If I play a song, it just automatically becomes the last song on the album. How the bloody fuck can I fix this?

Nah, it's sorted by Artist, and I tried doing it by Album, but it still does the same shit. Thanks anyhow...any other ideas?

No, it's not that either...I took last played off of the bar at the top, so it's not even a category that they can be sorted into anymore. I also took play count off. Once again, thank you...I wonder if my iPod or something is just fucked up somehow.

Here's the trick... it takes a little while, but create a playlist that'll be only for albums that really need to be listened to in order (i.e dark side, the wall, Abbey road, Tommy, etc.), then just drag in the right order the songs in that new playlist for every album and they will remain in it. Just don't screw up.

Worked for me.

FUCK iTunes. I spent from 12:30am to 2:20am this morning (last night?) reloading all 2113 songs, and making my playlsits again. I have all my songs on an external harddrive, and because of the huge snowfall yesterday the power kept going out for 1 second at a time. And iTunes lost it's connection with the harddrive, and I had to either find every song 1 by 1, or just reload them all. It was hell.

do you have the track number tagged cause that is the next category it goes by to put things in order. Also is this in a playlist or the library window
