Is there a way to NOT play some songs in the Library while on Party Shuffle

Is there a way I can tell my iTunes AND my iPod NOT to play certain songs when I am listening on Party Shuffle?
For Example - I have a number of songs that I downloaded for the Holidays - the Genre is Holiday - and I don't want to listen to them during most of the year - can I tell iTunes AND my iPod NOT to play them when I have it on 'Party Shuffle' or when I am playing from the Library ?
Thanks!

Make a "smart playlist" and set the parameters as genres NOT Holiday
and then in the Party Shuffle get Party Shuffle to play from that smart playlist and then Party Shuffle will not play your Holiday songs
I hope this helps

  • Shuffle does not play all songs in the library

    I've uploaded about 10 new songs, and they show in the library but they are not playing.  Do I need to re-set the Shuffle?

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 3GS, without any doubt the shuffle mode is not playing all songs. I have 600 songs, and I only use the shuffle mode. Of these 600 songs:
    - 50 have never been played in 6 months (play counter: 0)
    - 256 have been played less than 3 times
    - 129 have been played less than 7 times.
    - Remaining songs, except from the top 4, have been played from 8 to 79 times.
    The first four have been played respectively: 511, 319, 223, and 127 times. There obviously is a bias :\. I've mostly never heard more than half of my playlist (and again: I only use shuffle mode).
    If you find a solution, please let me know

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

  • My iphone 4 does not play some songs, that previosly it did

    My iphone 4 does not play some songs, that previosly it did

    Im having a similar problem since i upgraded to IOS5, ive read on other forums that some people's music hasnt even showed up, so they did a soft reset (turned it off and on again) which worked for them.
    It didnt for me, i have found some of the songs will play if i press the repeat once button, but this isnt really fixing the problem.

    When you click on "My Snippets", it will list down all saved user snippets, which you can right-click and click on "delete" to delete it.

  • A lot of my music is on an external Hard Drive, currently "H" drive.  When I try to play a song in the Library in Itunes I get the message that it can't find the music.  Info says it's in a different location "G" Drive.  But it's not. it's in "H" Drive.

    A lot of my music is on an external Hard Drive, currently "H" drive.  When I try to play a song in the Library in Itunes I get the message that it can't find the music.  Info says it's in a different location "G" Drive.  But it's not. it's in "H" Drive.  How do I tell it where to go?

    What if you take this same topic of an external hard drive with music but instead of directly attached to the computer the music is on a Network Attached hard drive(NAS)? Will I be able to add music to my ipod without any problem? Step that up a notch, will the two computers on my network be able to recognize the music on the NAS? Will the two users be able to create their own playlists and update their ipods independently? Now step up that up one more notch, will I be able to do this with one PC running XP and my macbook with OS X?
    Before I run out and buy a NAS I want to be certain. I also would like to convert my DVD library in the future and put it on the network available to an AppleTV or other UpNp media player in the future, because I love having power at my finger tips.

  • Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?

    Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?
    For example, I'm editing Symbol_1, then I move to Symbol_22. Now to get back to Symbol_1 I need to find it again in the Library and double-click on it. Is there a shortcut for that?

    No, but you can always use the library search option to widdle down the number of items displayed. It'd be a good feature request as I find myself hopping between specific movieclip depths on common clips often. Sort of like a clip/depth bookmark.

  • TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

    When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • When i connect my iPod to my computer it does not sync fully. Some songs in the library have an ! next to them. Apple have just replaced my original one as the battery was failing. Any suggestions?

    When i connect my iPod to the computer it does not fully sync. Some of the songs in the library are marked with an ! and it says the songs cannot be found but when the iPod is not connected they are all there. Any ideas? Thanks

    I had this problem before. What I did (which is good advice to anyone with electronic copies of music) is to back up all my music to an external hard drive. I then deleted all music from iTunes and copied back across from my external hard drive. Just make sure that under Preferences - Advanced in iTunes, you have iTunes Media folder location set as your C: drive, tick the boxes for "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library".

  • ITunes will not acknowledge some songs in my library

    Hi
    Recently transferred entire library from an old computer to new one, after which several albums and individual songs could not be located. Many of these I found in the itunes folder where itunes had filed them (by artist etc) but it was not picking them up. So I went through and found them all as prompted when attempting to play songs with an exclamation mark next to them, I also noticed it has dropped whole albums and random songs from the library for no reason, and does not display these at all. Consolidating does not seem to help itunes recognise and display them.
    How can I get itunes to have a proper look in the library and display all my music??
    cheers
    Dan

    All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
    But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

  • ITunes Will Not Play Some Songs

    I have all my songs (about 4000) on an external hard drive - a mixture of mp3's and m4a's. Last week it seemed to lose all of my Music Library and sub-folders. However I ran a chkdsk and this seemed to recover them. Most songs that I've played through iTunes since then seem ok. However it is still regularly coming up with a few that just will not play so I'm guessing they got corrupted when the disk had its wobble. I've run an mp3 validator on all the mp3's to quickly identify those. Is there an equivalent utility I can run on m4a's or something in iTunes that will check the validity of all the files in its library?

    You have the classic symptoms of iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. Treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator usually solves the problem.
    i'm going to have to wait for an update.
    Actually this problem has been getting worse in recent years. Use MP3 Validator.

  • Why can't I play some songs in my library?

    My Itunes library has about a thousand and 200 songs... But there are 400 songs that i can't play or even I can't put them on my Ipod because they have in their left side a tick : I Tunes ask me to find them in a paste but i can't find them.. How can i stay with these musics and make them playable!? PLEASE HELP ME AND DON'T DECLARE THAT I WILL HAVE TO LOOSE ALL THESE 400 SONGS!!!

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed
    Do did you change anything or do you have any other software that can rename or move files?
    You can try using Windows search to look for some of the files so see if you can find them. Also look in the recycle bin.
    If you have not synced you iPod since the problem started and you have the tracks on the iPod there is software that will allow you to copy the files from the iPod to the PC.

    Otherwise you need to recover your files from backup if you made a back up.
    If none of these work you will have to re-rip the tracks if you have them on CD.

  • Why won't iTunes play some songs from the cloud

    I am traveling with my MacBook Pro and opened my iTunes library.  I have iTunes Match also.  Some of my albums have the cloud with the down-pointing arrow...but they won't play and when you click on it, nothing happens.  What am I missing? 

    I will try that on my Macbook Pro when I get home, if I can figure out how to do it (some more detailed instructions would help. . .).  The problem I'm having is songs I ripped from CDs into my iTunes library.  The songs and CDs are all available for purchase on iTunes, so I'm not talking about some obscure music. iTunes recognizes them.  Some of the songs from a given CD play; others do not.  In two cases, entire albums won't play.  were originally ripped from CDs into my iTunes library on an HP computer running Windows 7 (my Macbook doesn't have a CD drive).  All of the songs appear and play fine there.  However, the "grayed out" iCloud icon problem exists (and I can't play those songs) on my Macbook, my iPhone 5S or on my PC at work - which leads me to believe it's an iCloud or iTunes problem. . .

  • Is there a way to rename multiple Itunes songs at the same time

    Is there a fast way to rename multiple Itunes songs at once, instead of renaming one song inside Itunes at a time? For example; So I can select multiple songs at once and rename each songs Genre all at the same time? Without needing to rename song by song?
    Casey Computer

    You can click on multiple songs, and change info in the Get Info > Info screen.  This applies to most fields EXCEPT Name.  iTunes has never allowed the simultaneous change of Name of multiple songs, presumably on the grounds that it is usually an error to do so.
    Regarding Genre, yes, this can be changed for multiple songs at once, using the Info tab of Get Info.
