Auto Pause between songs in a playlist

Hi there
I want to use iTunes to play backing tracks to sing to and would like it to move onto the next song but not start playing it until I tell it to.
Is this possible?
I can get it to play single songs and stop, but it doesn't move on to the next one.
If iTunes won't do it can anyone recommend a program that will?

hi chris yes of course it is, but having no auto pause option built in to this software is in my opinion a fundamental error, if you cnsider such devices as mini disk and cd players and the freeware available for windows, which pc based i tunes and i pad based i tunes could replace in a pro environment, they all allow users an option to play all or play single tracks.
While this fix of dougs is only open to mac users, which i am not, i am never going to invest any time in itunes, as for me it will always be considered as bedroom software and not be taken serious. If i wanted to run this script on an ipad, would i need to borrow a mac to install it??
cheers

Is there a way to put blank space between songs in a playlist?

I am trying to set up a set for Jazzercise and need a few seconds between songs on my playlist. I'm not sure if it is possible or not, any suggestions?

Sorry to tell you, but it is not possible to do that.

Adding space between songs on my playlist

how do i add space between songs on my ipod mini??? i have tried to add space using a download from a "jazzercise" site but my ipod will not sync it...i need about 10 seconds between songs ...help!!!

Create a 10-second audio track that is nothing but silence. Add the track to iTunes, then add it as many times as needed to your playlist between each song.

IPod Pauses Between Songs

My iPod pauses slightly between songs when I'm listening to an album - any idea how turn that off?

Which iPod?
Which iTunes?
WHat do you mean "it pauses"?
Do you mean it stops or the music has a break in between songs?

How can I eliminate the pause between songs on playback on the Nano?

I recently downloaded an album by Steve Reich that is intended to be played as one long uninterrupted song. The album is divided into tracks, however, and my iPod Nano always stops for a second or two between songs.
Is there anyway to get it to play them continuously without interruption?

This question is one that crops up a lot on these forums (it's one of the most frequently asked questions) and has been a major source of complaint for as long as the iPod has been in existence.
Currently the only way to eliminate the gap between songs is to import the cd as one track. You do this by using the “join cd tracks” option in the advanced menu of iTunes.
Make sure the tracks are in their correct order, and highlight those you wish to join.
No gaps, but the downside is that you will of course lose the ability to navigate between tracks, and the song info is also lost. The iPod will display the cd title in the song field in the “now playing” screen . You’ll also have one large file instead of a number of smaller ones.
Be aware also that playback of single large audio files can shorten battery playtime between charges.

How do you change the setting in iTunes for the time-space between songs in your playlist?

I need help changing my setting in iTunes, the time-space between songs. In setting up iTunes I selected the "three-second" and now wish I'd selected "five-seconds". Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you Chris.
This was not the exact solution for my problem but by misreading your instructions I accidentally found the answer. Just as simple as you suggest. I had already ensured the Crossfade was unchecked in iTunes. What had actually changed with the last software update was the settings on my ipod. I can't believe I never checked this before.
The solution:
ipod settings > Playback
Audio Crossfade = "Off"

First Generation iPod Mini Pauses Between Songs

Hello, all!
I have a first generation iPod Mini. I also have several albums that were designed to flow naturally from one song into the next with little to no break in between the songs. This does not come through in the iPod mini. There seems to be a 1 second pause in between each song. I remember reading somewhere that it is possible. I just don't know where to go in order to find that setting. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. And, yes, I checked the 5 R's.

The iPod Mini doesn't support gapless playback unfortunately. Gapless playback is only available on the 5th Generation iPod and the second generation Nano. You can read more here: What is Gapless Playback?

How do you eliminate pauses betweens songs?

Hello Group,
This is a question I have pondered for a while now....It seems that when I import my music to the ipod the importing process seems to add a second or two to the song. How can one eliminate that? And secondly, CD's like The Beatles - Abby Road, where one song blends into the next, how can I get that same effect from my ipod when I make a cd myself...there is always that annoying 1 or 2 second pause from cd's I burn from itunes?.
Thanks for your help.

Your question gets asked on a daily basis, and has been answered many times. If you search for 'gapless playback' you'll see how just how many people inquire about this.
In short... the iPod does not support gapless or crossfaded playback.
If you want to eliminate the gaps, one workaround is to join the individual tracks together, and play them as one single track. You can do this by reimporting the CD into iTunes using the 'Join CD Tracks' feature.
See Step 3 in this article:

If you'd like to send feedback to Apple to ask that they include gapless playback as a feature in future revisions of the iPod firmware, you can do so on this feedback page.

Auto pausing mid-song

Anyone have the same issue, 4 gig Nano likes to pause during and towards the end of a song. I press play and song continues. This may do this 2-3 songs in sequence then plays without pause for about. This happens usually happens when i start it up.

The Apple Store won't be able to do anything unless they see the problem happen there.

Unwanted pausing between songs

I just updated to the new version of iTunes. Now, when I use the 'Party Shuffle' feature, rather than going straight from one song to the next, it keeps stopping after each song. This means I have to keep hitting the play button every few minutes, which is incredibly annoying.
I have noticed that tracks I have added to iTunes since upgrading to the new version do not have this problem, and play as normal.
Can someone tell me how I can go back to iTunes 6 or fix this problem with iTunes 7 as there is no way I want to load up hundreds of CDs again.

by any chance, do you have "crossfade playback" selected in your itunes Playback preferences tab?
if so, by way of experiment, try switching crossfade playback off. does Party Shuffle start behaving normally for you again?

Long pauses between gapless playback tracks

Hi,
I'm using iTunes 8.2 in Leopard PPC on an iMac G4. I'm experiencing annoying pauses between songs on albums that have gapless playback enabled. The pauses typically run for about 30 seconds, during which iTunes is totally unresponsive. I'm pretty sure this is caused due to the fact that my iTunes Library is located on a network share, but the strange thing is that it never happened before. It only started with iTunes 8.1 IIRC. Non gapless tracks cross fade perfectly, by the way. No noticeable delay there.
Anyone have an idea how I could fix this besides simply disabling gapless playback? TIA!

The crossfade feature is an iTunes feature only just fyi.

Continuous play between songs without a pause between tracks

I have a lot of "mixed" cds which I have uploaded into my ipod. The cd's feature many songs mixed together into one continuous flow. Each track is marked (1-?) so you may select a specific song instead of their only being one long track. The problem is that when uploaded into my itunes (and ipod), when the cd is played, there is a pause between the tracks (like on normal cds) which obviously breaks the flow of the music. Is there any way around this?

One other option that I've begun using to separate tracks in a cd with songs that flow from one to the next (Dream Theater anyone?) yet retain the artists vision is to use Apple's Chapter Tool and use this in conjunction with a tool like Scriptbuilder's . "Podcastenhancer". (There are other utilities but this is the one I personally use.)
What this does is allow you to rip the cd with all tracks joined and then add "Chapters" to the file to indicate where each track should start. Created for use in building podcasts (like the iTunes New Music Tuesday podcast) where you want the content broken up, the combination of these tools will help you separate your songs and add album artwork at the same time. What you end up with is one long continuous song file with the ability to jump from track to track on your iPod and select the appropriate "song" in iTunes from the chapter list that appears when the file is played.

Are you sure that if I use my windows log in rather than my husbands, then open itunes it won't delete all his hundreds of songs and overwrite with mine?
I want to maintain my own apple ID login and he wants his but without losing his songs.....
how do i transfer the content of my itunes including apps and songs to the new computer. There doesn't seem to be an easy explanation on here. Do I just plug my iPhone in and it will all transfer?

Does anyone know how to make songs in your playlist play directly after each other with no break between then, ie no silent period?
