Can itunes play two songs at the same time? Mine can!!

If you let a song run until just before the end and then click to an earlier part in the song on the time bar, itunes starts playing both that tune and the next one.
Does this happen with anyone else?
What a basic error, how did apple not catch this?
Peace and God Bless.

Actually, I have the same problem...only moreso.
When I'm streaming from another computer, my songs frequently start double-playing without my doing ANYTHING at all. Right now, The Skeleton Killers' "Despair" is doubling up--that's twice the dirge--and I wasn't even touching the computer when it started.
Oh, goodie! One of the streams has finished and the next song, George Michael's "Outside", has begun, now running concurrently with the last minute of "Despair". I can't tell you how poorly these songs go together.
The problem started with 7.0 and continues with 7.0.1
Apple! Help!

Can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?

I would like to put music under my audio books and my question is "can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?"

I am not aware of a way to play two songs at once in iTunes. However, at least on a Mac, you can definitely open and play multiple things in QuickTime player. Sooo, you could open a music file in QT Player then start it and start the audio book in iTunes. Or open the audio book in QT player and listen to that there while iTunes plays music.

Why does iTunes play consecutive songs by the same artist so often?

Is there a way to stop or greatly reduce the issue in iTunes of playing consecutive songs by the same artist when playing in "shuffle" mode? There was a slide tool in preferences that allowed you to set that to "less likely" or "more likely" but that appears to be gone from iTunes now, or at least I can't find it. Not that it matters much, the problem was WORSE when they added that "tool" anyway. It was less likely before they added whatever that algorithm was. Now this happens constantly that my iPod plays 2 or 3 consecutive songs by the same artist when I am playing it in shuffle mode. I have over 3500 songs on my iPod but it will usually play only a small percentage of those before starting to repeat also. It seems to "stick" in a small area of the alphabet when in shuffle mode. Meaning, it will play artists whose names begin with say L through R and ONLY those artists, then repeat a bunch of them after playing only 20-30 songs. Everything else seems to be working fine on my iPod but this. I suspect it's the programming in iTunes but of course, I have no way to prove that and Apple being the quasi Communist gov't type that they are, I can get no answers from them on this or most questions I have. Maybe somebody here has encountered one of these issues and can offer some resolution?

I wish Apple would just remove the feature that supposedly addresses this issue. It worked better when there was no setting for this. I'm just tired of being pencil whipped by Big Brother.

Apple TV plays two languages at the same time!

Hello,
I ripped some of my DVDs using handbrake. I added two language tracks (original language + my mother tongue).
After adding meta data with subler i also checked both language tracks at subler so they will both appear in itunes.
Everything works fine when i watch the movie on my computer, i can perfectly switch languages in the settings menu.
But wen i stream it to my apple tv (i use itunes on my computer at chose apple tv as streaming device/airplay instead of browsing with the apple tv directly)
it will play both languages at the same time! no matter if i chose a language in itunes or not, it always plays both languages.
Did anyone else have this problem?
Or even a solution?

When an apple tv and an airport express are connected at the same time and the apple tv is powered on, the itunes multiple speakers feature will show both the express and the apple tv. you can select either, or both using the multiple speakers option.

Can you listen to iTunes on two computers at the same time?

If I've got iTunes playing on one computer, is it possible to listen on another computer on the same network what's playing on the first computer? I've often got two computers on the go over two floors and it would be smart if they were playing the same music at the same time. Thanks for your help.

Hi Andy, if you want to listen through remote speakers connected to an AirPort Express you can choose the remote speakers (or computer) from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window
However, to the best of my knowledge you can only listen to iTunes through one set of speakers at a time.

Play two instruments at the same time?

Hi!
I'm stuck with GarageBand right now, where I can only play one instrument at a time. Preferably I want to play both (for example) piano and strings using one real-time MIDI input. Is it possible to do that with either Logic Express or Pro?

Do you mean play the same thing at once with two instrumets simultaneously playing two different sounds?

I want to play two sources at the same time - what software is there?

Hi
Something of an unusual request. I have CDs of natural background sounds (my favourite is one of the sea which I have on iTunes on repeat). The sad thing is, I have to choose between these and my music.
What I need is a free CD player (software) that allows me to play my CDs on repeat in the background, then I can use iTunes for all my regular music playlists, and have them both going at once.
Any ideas?

I've found something called SimpleAudioCDPlayer which plays the CD (and does have a Loop facility).
Problems:
1. there is no icon in the Dock, just a little icon that floats right in the middle of my screen (I can adjust it to tiny but it's not moveable and is a bit of a nuisance)
2. more seriously, there is no volume control which means I cannot reduce the sea sound to background sound.
So maybe someone knows of something better?

Running iTunes in two windows at the same time

How can I simultaneously view two windows with different playlist on each one? I remember, that was possible in the previous version of iTunes.

Haldir4,
Unfortunatley, that ability was removed in iTunes 11.
If you have suggestions for Apple, you can use the iTunes Feedback page.

[KDE] Unable to play two sounds in the same time

I am switching from gnome to kde, and i did a fresh install (i formatted) the entire system.
The problem is that, for example, before in genome i was able to have songbird playing while a movie was being as well played and if someone talked to me via pidgin, the warning sound would be heard as well....
In kde, if i am listening to amarok, i cannot listen the audio from a video from youtube, and sometimes, while i am listening to music, someone talks to me on kopete, stops the playback on amarok and then plays the new message warning sound...... i understand this is a misconfiguration of my audio system, isn't it?
Where should i start from? I am using xine as sound engine (phonon-xine)-.....
Thanks!

Seems to be a problem with your alsa conf...
But, here with a stupid intel chipset, it works without any configuration !
Maybee your gnome was configured with pulseaudio?

Is it possible to play two videos at the same time in Captivate 4

My idea is to create some e-learning material which shows a screencast of a powerpoint presentation and a video in the top left corner of the screen showing somebody presenting the slides.
Does anybody know if it is possible to do this with Captivate 4?
I know this functionality is provided in Adobe Director.
Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Jay

Hi Jay
Do you have the eLearning Suite? If so, you have Adobe Presenter available to you. If you don't, you should be able to download the Presenter installation file and evaluate it.
Presenter is an add in for PowerPoint. The neat thing about it is that it provides for a Table of Contents type of functionality as you see is configured in Captivate. But the twist with that is you are able to do something you cannot do in Captivate. You are able to insert videos inside the TOC area!
Just musing out loud... Rick
