Can iTunes be set to stop at the end of a track and wait for a manual play.

I am wanting to use itunes to play sound effects in a live drama but I need to have it stop at the end of each track and wait for a manual start. It needs to be done without deselecting and selecting tracks by myself and, importantly, others who may be confused by the computer.
If iTunes can't do this is there any other app that can, I've been looking but failed to find any apart from DJ packages which are more complicated than I would like for others to use.

You want to have a bunch of tracks, play them in order, the first one plays then it stops and all you have to do is hit Play to continue to next track?
This script will do it.
Play the first track and iTunes will stop at the end and queue up the next song. Just press Play (or Spacebar) and it'll play the second song and stop till the end of the playlist.
No need to select any songs or do anything fancy.
-> Stop Track!
"This script applet runs in the background while an iTunes playlist is playing. Whenever the accompanying "STOP_TRACK_05sec.mp3" track is encountered, the script will stop iTunes and advance to the next track, which you can start manually."

Can "cycle" be set to stop at the end, and/or go to the start and stop there?

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place for this feature. I'm used to a daw that provides a method to identify a region (similar to Cycle Mode), but gives the options to do one of several things, rather than only loop that passage endlessly. Sometimes I want playback to stop at the end of the passage...and when I hit return, it will go to the beginning of the passage and stop there. Or..sometimes I want the playhead to go to the beginning of the passage and stop there, instead of continuously loop. I rarely want an endless loop of the section.
Sometimes I don't want a region at all, I simply want to set a memory location and have the playhead go there any time I hit return, instead of go to the beginning of the sequence, or to the beginning of a cycle to start looping.
thanks

Yeah...I've worked out an alternative, but it would be very nice if there was a feature like what I'm talking about. Basically, a start and end memory location that is multi configurable to whatever you want. It can loop, or just go back to the start location and stop. And every press of rewind takes you to the start.
I've come up with the key command, go to left locator or right locator, and don't enable cycle mode.

Stops at the end of each track

This is probably me but having only got a ipod touch (32gb)and loaded up a album from itenes it stops at teh end of each track and goes back the main menu........whats the deal? and how doo I rectify the problem. I have to play each track and I cant see an option to put this tight? Any advise would be great Thanks

Hello BarbaraJS,
Welcome to our community. The only time that Captivate 1 / 2
should stop at the end of each slide is if you have captured your
screens in Simulation Training, Assessment Training (possibly in
custom mode). Capturing screens in simulation or assessment
training mode will result in Captivate adding click boxes which
will pause the slide until the learner has clicked inside the click
box area and then the movie / project will advance to the next
slide.
If you open your Captivate project and show the Timeline do
you see a click box object on the Timeline panel?
If so then you can either remove each of the click boxes on
the slides that make up your movie / project or you may prefer to
create new Captivate file and from the Recording mode menu choosing
Demonstration mode.
This will then ensure that no click boxes are added to your
Captivate movie / project.
Regards,
Mark

I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drvie to die before i use the other drives

I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drive to die before i use the other drives? Or, what is the best way to handle this?

I do not know what you are waiting for.
I'd make a backup of your important stuff before cloning the entire disk.
Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external firewire drive. You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.

SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!

Is it possible to remove the silence between the end of a track and the beginning of it's B-side?

There are a couple songs I've been unsure of purchasing on iTunes. a couple feature an A side and B side. These songs/tracks will have something of a 4 minute song, with something of a 3+ minute gap of pure silence continuing on with something of a 2+ minute B side. These tracks can be almost 9 minutes of length. I do not mind having both tracks on one file, as you can not find them separately to begin with, however I do mind the large gap in between the tracks. Is there a way I can edit this out within iTunes? By the way, I own a PC, not a Mac and use the most recent iTunes version available on the PC

What tracks?
You know the iTunes store doesn't just record direct from a cassette player?
I seriously doubt the tracks have the silence.
You can adjust start & stop times on tracks, so even if they did have silence you could simply workout when to stop the track. The Get info panel has the details in the 'options' tab.
It may be different for you on Windows, but I'm certain the feature exists, you may ned to look for it ion iTunes 12, this is from 11

Can You Get iPod To Stop/Pause At The End Of Each Track

I really need my iPod to stop/pause at the end of each track/song, but it insists on playing right through a playlist one song after another. Does anybody know if there is a way of achieving this, there doesn't seem to be anything in the manuals about this. My iPod is new and is the 60GB color screen model. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.

Hi boaster, is this an apple accessory, or where else will I find one? When you say there will be some manual intervention, I presume you have to press the button to actually stop it at the end of each track??
Dave W. I've tried your suggestion and it works fine. Its also good because it keeps iPod within the correct playlist. The original suggestion of one track per playlist also works, but unfortuanatly iPod defaults to go back to the main menu at the end of every playlist so you then have to navigate back to where you need to be. Dave, it looks like your suggestion is the answer at the moment, many thanks, although would like to know more about this 'airclick' remote please. Cheers.

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Most likely your songs got unchecked. iTunes will not automatically advance to an unchecked song.
First make sure you can see the checkboxes. If not, Preferences > General, Show list checkboxes.
If they have gone empty, you can recheck them all at once by holding the CMD or OPTION key (sorry I forget which on a Mac, so if one does not work try the other) and click any empty box.

How can I get firefox to stop moving the typing cursor to my homepages' search engine automatically?

What usually happens is when I open firefox I'll usually start typing in the url bar or in the browser search engine to the right of url bar. The problem is that while I'm in the middle of typing, firefox will move my cursor to the homepage's search engine. This gets annoying after awhile because I'll have to stop and reclick where I was typing at (sometimes it'll even move it back!). Is there a way to disable this so that firefox won't try to relocate my typing cursor every time a new page loads?

You can set to open a blank page on opening Firefox and click the Home button if you want to see the Home page. You can also click ESC to stop loading the page before typing in the location bar.
Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show a blank page"

Can itunes be set to sync with your music library?

Can itunes be set to sync with your music library? Everytime i add music to my computer i have to go to itunes and add it. If i move music on my computer then itunes gets lost and i have to add it again and then go back and delete all the broken links in itunes. Is there a better way?

iTunes does not at present have any good feature for watching folders and automatically importing tracks you add to a folder. Using strictly iTunes, unless you drop the tracks into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder in the iTunes Music folder, you'll have to add any such tracks manually, by dragging them to the iTunes window or by using the Add To Library command. Here are a couple of potential solutions from other developers, though:
http://albumbrowser.klarita.net/iTunesFolderWatch.html
http://www.lifehacker.com/software/itunes/hack-attack-automatically-sync-itunes- to-any-folders-175161.php
The same applies if you move a track from folder to folder manually; that will break iTunes' links to the track file and you'll have to re-add or relocate it in iTunes.
Thanks to Meg and Hudgie for the tips.

Hi, jannaken.
Since the computer was restored to factory, your sync preferences have been reset. I would recommend verifying that Sync Music is selected under the device preference. Below, this article will walk you through the process.

I've a "bug" with the apps downloading. This one stops at the end and stays like that infinite. The app doesn't appears normally on the homescreen. The app is on the home screen, and its downloading is blocked at its end, without showing the app like it should when it's finished downloadung. Does someone can help me and fix this please?

Hi Tom
Thanks for replying!
I had heard that these switches didn't stack unless everything was identical.
I only tried it at all out of pure desperation.
I've applied and tested every version 3 firmware in standalone mode via a console cable and xmodem.
They either never come up properly receiving decompression errors and reboot constantly in a loop.
Occasionally they stall / jam and stay there displaying the same error with no rebooting.
And twice out of 80-100 times I got it to boot to the username and password screen in standalone mode.
But as soon as I made a change it crashed and started the rebooting cycle again.
