Editing currently playing song - freeze

When I edit the info of the currently playing song and press OK, iTunes freezes for a minute or two. The editing window doesn't close and is totally gray until the freezing stops.

Thanks, I know how to delete a song from iTunes. What I want is to create a global shortcut, which means let me to use that shortcut from anywhere outside iTunes, to let me currently playing song.
It's application is that I'm doing work and I don't like the currnet song, I can delete it with that shortuct without moving to iTunes and manually selecting and deleting it.

    how can i get itunes to quit skipping to the currently playing song when i'm working on the library somewhere else?

    You might be able to achieve what you want by using Party Shuffle. Set the source for Party Shuffle to be the playlist you want to listen to or add the tracks you want to listen to by control clicking on them and selecting Add to Party Shuffle. Once everything is in Party Shuffle, you can rearrange them to your satisfaction. As the songs are played, they'll roll off the queue. You can quit iTunes and even when you restart, all your songs will be there, in the order you want, waiting for you to hit play.

  • Drag & Drop image of currently playing song causes the Spotify window to "jump" to another position

    When I try to drag and drop the image of the currently playing song (the one that appears under the playlist list, on the left side of the screen), the entire Spotify window jumps (i.e. moves/repositions) inside the screen to a totally different position, making it impossible to drag the song to the intended playlist. It seems that the the window is moved to the current mouse cursor position (i.e. the left top position of the window becomes the mouse cursor position, with an offset). When I reposition the window again manually, and try to do the same thing, it doesn't happen. I have been able to reproduce this issue a 100% of the times: I just refocus a few other windows I have open and then try to add the currently playing song to a playlist in the afore mentioned way.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Accessing information about currently playing song/media

    Hi everybody,
    I am wondering whether it is possible to retrieve Information about whatever is currently playing on the phone. I.e. the title of what's being played and the current position (in seconds).
    I would like to develop an app that is able to use these information while anything is being played in the background, no matter if it is a piece of music, stream, video, audiobook, whatever.
    Is this possible and if so, how?
    Thanks and
    cheers,
    Christian.

    Hello Christian,
    This is quite a difficult and complex task. But you can take a look at the sample provided by the open-source music identification system
    EchoPrint.

  • Disabling iTunes from jumping to currently playing song

    iTunes by default will automatically jump to the next song that is played. This really messes with me when I'm working on my library. The music library jumps to that song, and I have to scroll back to where I was in the library.
    Is there an option or even some sort of plugin that will let it play the next song normally but not change the focus of where you are.
    For example, if I'm pulling songs out of my library to add to a playlist, I lose my spot in the library every time a new song begins playing.

    I really wish there was a better way like a built in option or even a plugin, without having to go with this playlist nonsense workaround. You would think Apple would be smart enough to add that option, I'm sure I'm not the only one annoyed by this. From searching google for answers, it seems there a ton of people who want this behavior but no real way to do it besides going through your work-around.
    Even today it annoyed me, I was renaming tracks to their correct name, instead of "Track 1", "Track 2" etc, and then one of my playing songs switched to the next. So the highlight jumped all the way to the bottom of my library and I had to go find where I was working again.
    I'll probably use your workaround tomorrow or in the next few days If I don't get another response with the miracle plugin that is seemingly impossible to find. It really can't be that hard to make a plugin of this sort could it? Maybe I can make a post in a forum where people build plugins, hoping someone would be willing to take the challenge to help others and I.

  • ITunes 7 doesn't display artwork of currently playing song

    Minor annoyance, it was working correctly for a while but now instead of displaying the artwork for the song that is playing, it displays that for the song that is currently selected. Any ideas as to why?

    I guess the Artwork pane is set to 'Selected Item'.
    Click on the text 'Selected Item' to change it to 'Now Playing'.
    Hope this helps.

  • [SOLVED] Getting current playing song in Spotify using dbus-send

    dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Next
    dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Next
    I can change the songs using these commands as both Next and Previous are methods. But, what if I want to know the Medadata? Metadata is defined as a property in the same path.
    This command throws the obvious error.
    dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata
    Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method 'Metadata' in interface 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' at object path '/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2' (signature '')
    I am unable to use dbus-send properly.

  • Jump to song currently playing

    is there a keyboard combination that will make itunes highlight the currently playing song? to clarify, if i scroll all the way down to the bottom of my playlist, is there a combo that will make the cursor jump to whatever song is playing? for those of you familiar with winamp, im looking for the equivalent of pressing the spacebar while in the playlist editor.

    never mind, i found it...me == stupid

  • [Desktop][Radio] Add current played Radio-Song to the current playlist

    I often want to "collect" new songs by starting a radio on my e.g. "Pop" / "HardRock" Playlist. Therefore I really would enjoy a short way to add the current played song to the current "selected" playlist. I wonder why this wasn't implemented already. This is my default-reason for using a streaming-client like Spotfiy!

    Marked as new idea. This idea is a re-post of this inactive idea.

  • Missing: Adding the "Now Playing" song to a Playlist

    I have a lot of songs but I want to manage my music by creating playlists on the go, so I purchased an iPod Touch and Stuffed in all my music to iTunes to sync to my iPod Touch. Done.
    Just found out that you can NOT add the currently playing song to a playlist, new or existing. The easiest way to add the currently playing song, to a new or old playlist is to (This will be long), first, memories at least a few keywords of that currently playing song e.g. title, artist, or album, and then go to Playlist tab, select the playlist or add a playlist..., click on Edit, click on add song, search the song and add to Playlist, Click Done. Not easy.
    I find this very time consuming. I expected to see iPod Touch have this as a very very basic feature.
    My question: Is there a Product Enhancement Request already submitted about this? I had my iPod Touch with iOS 4 when I purchased it. Now I have iOS 5, no fix to this issue still.
    It would be really really appeciated if Apple's Product Management Team could give us a heads up if this feature will ever be available.
    Kindest Regards

    I second that.  I just use the "recently played" playlist as kind of a makeshift on-the-go playlist.  But to create a playlist from scratch, they've GOT to make it easier than scrolling through thousands of songs. I just don't create playlists on the ipod touch/iphone anymore.  I do it on iTunes and sync it to the device.
    Maybe they think playlists are just too "old-school".  They have "cutting-edge" features (no doubt to appeal the younger folks) like play a song by saying the song name, yet they don't give you a basic feature like on-the-go playlisting.

  • How to return to display of currently playing tune

    If I am in iTunes, listening to music, and am simultaneously browsing my library, how to I return the display (in the Music Library in iTunes) to the currently-playing song?
    I'm specifically asking because I'm starting to enjoy the "Genius" sidebar and like to see the Genius recommendations for the current song. However, if I've been browsing through my songs, the Genius bar will update to a song I highlight (but not necessarily play). I'd like to get back to the currently playing song to see the Genius recommendations.
    Hope that makes sense!
    Thanks

  • Add 'currently playing' to a playlist?

    When I listen to a song on my iPhone, and want to add it to a playlist, I have to scroll all the way to find it. (I hate adding 'Z' songs) Is there an "add currently playing to playlist" button that I just can't find? It seems that if I'm listing to a song, and hit "edit playlist" on my iPhone, I would want to add the current track I'm listening to.  I always expect a button at the top of the screen that says "add currently playing", but there's not even small "A, B, C, D, E, , , " on the side of the screen, and I have to scroll AAAAALLL the way down to it. Since I have so many songs, it takes forever...
    Is there an easier way that I'm just not finding?

    I thought I'd revive this question. I wished I'd had it today. On my iPhone, I'd like to take the currently playing song and add it to an existing playlist. Is there a way?

  • Jumping to currently playing track - Any way to disable?

    Is there any way to disable iTunes from jumping to the song each time a new one begins? Thanks.

    Not being very helpful, I know. I would just like to say that I too think that this is very annoying.
    Why is it necessary to jump to the currently playing track every time it changes? It makes it impossible to browse your music collection, especially if it is large. I have about 9000 tracks, and it is almost impossible to find the next track before the currently playing song is over.
    You have to have a pretty good idea of what you want to hear before you start browsing.
    So it would be very nice if Apple would either disable this "feature" or make it optional.

  • Viewing currently playing zong

    Yoyoyoyoyo wazzup.
    Here am I playing some song in my Music librarhy, drinking grog and smoking cigars, so much that I'm almost getting cancer.
    And here am I browsin' through my library. Now I have scrolled through it a bit, and I want to find ze location of the currently playing song. Iz there a quick way of quickly locating the currently playing zong?
    I mean: I want a quicker way then scrolling through the whole sh1t and trying to locate visually the blue playing icon at the left side of the list.
    Catch me? Is a faster approach there for uz?
    RZA

    There is a lightning fast way.
    Just click on the bent arrow at the right in the display in above the iTunes window.
    It will bring you instantly to the playing song.
    The arrow looks a bit like this ↩
    (I couldn't find the proper one in my character set)
    Hope this helps.

  • Computer freezes when importing CDs or playing songs through iTunes

    Hi! I have been searching for a solution to this problem, but have not had any luck. Whenever I try to import a CD to iTunes, my computer freezes.

I have noticed that some people have similar, if not the same, problem and any suggestions of things that may help are greatly appreciated!
