I've moved albums to my G3, all I can do is play one track (classical) or one song at a time.
How can i get an entire album to play straight through? Or, how,can I pick a number of tracks/songs to play through?

try going to albums then playing one of the songs. then tap the album art once and if the blue little icon on the top left of the album art shows up and has a 1 on it then tap it until its still blue but has no 1. that turns off repeat.

yeah, once in the album section, selecting a song to play will play the rest of that album
from that song on down.

Thanks, but I don't see the album cover, just a generic square with a "note" sign in it. So, the procedure you've given does not seem to work.
Is there a reason I don't have the actual album graphic showing?
Is that the only way to get the album to play in its entirety?

Exactly. You want to be in landscape mode.

Yes I have. No change. Still not the album cover.

the reason you have the square with the note in it is becuase you have not added the album cover for that song on intunes. it stilld oesnt matter if you have it or not what i said will still work. just tap it once and it will appear

the icons across the bottom, click the "more" button and it will show albums in there without having to be in landscape.

And using iTunes you can drag and drop cover art if iTunes can't find it.

But most importantly make sure the tracks are tagged properly. Make sure in the properties that the songs have track numbers and all have the same album title and it shouldn't be a problem.
