ITunes party shuffle rejects entire music list

I recently marked everything in my "books and spoken" list as "skip when shuffling". I did this by selecting multiple tracks at a time. Now, my party shuffle has nothing in the list. I have verified that my music is not marked "skip when shuffling". I have tried turning shuffle on and off. I have tried dragging music to the party shuffle, and selecting different sources for the party shuffle. I get a message that states that the music in these sources are not abailable for shuffling.
Now what?
Thanks, and I hope you get lots of points for answering.

Typical reasons for missing files are, you've deleted the files, they are on a disconnected external drive, or the drive has a changed drive letter, you've moved the folder where the files live in some other fashion, a third party app has rearranged the files, or iTunes has got confused about the layout they are supposed to be in.
Generally you need to work out what has happened, reverse the action and everything will be alright again. If it is something you can't/don't want to undo, e.g. a drive letter change, then as long as you can track down the current location of the folder containing the media then my script FindTracks should be able to reconnect it to iTunes.

Itunes Party Shuffle not Shuffling

I recently moved my music from my PC to my laptop via the iTunes CD Backup. Since then, the iTunes party shuffle, which i use when I'm doing homework won't shuffle the songs, it instead just plays them in alphabetical order by title. how do i change this?

It seems it's even worse. At the bottom of the page, where it says select source, I picked a playlist that has my 5 star rated songs, yet the main list in the shuffle area stubbornly remains the same.

I'm afraid, given that it's in another country, all I can suggest is to try to contact apple themselves (which you do not do on this forum, this forum is user to user so there's nothing we can do for you)

When your in Nike plus for listening to music whuffle music can you shuffle a particular playlist or does it shuffle your entire music collection on your iPod? Williams

When in Nike plus mode to work out and listen to musi, can you shuffle a particular playlist or does it shuffle your entire music collection on your iPod? All my other iPods do this and don't want to buy a new one if the 7th generation does the same?

To be more specific - create a playlist that has only your Christmas music on it, then create a Smart playlist that has everything you want from your playlist plus one more rule, where the playist is not your Christmas playlist. Play randomly from your new smart playlist and you will be good to go.
I have a playlist with some Christian music that I don't want to have on my normal playlist - at first, I tried to have two playlists (one with the Christian stuff and one with everything else), but this ended up being easier.

ITunes. Entire music list has the exclamation marks and I can't open music because it cannot be located. I'm 67yr old and need advice please.

I'm unable now to play the music in my iTunes playlists. 90% of the tunes have exclamation marks now and I can't 'locate' the music. How can I locate the music or remove the exclamation marks on my iTunes music list?

Why can't iTunes Party Shuffle podcasts?

This is really annoying because I'd like to mix news up-dates in with my music in Party Shuffle, but iTunes doesn't allow this. Does anyone have a work around?
Thanks.

You have to be using iTunes 5. You then have to select a single podcast and get info on it. In the options turn off "Skip when shuffling". You then have to repeat for each other podcast.

ITunes party shuffle

Hi there, would anyone be able to tell me why if I select "display 0 recently played songs" and "50 upcoming songs" in my party shuffle it still plays songs that can be found in my recently played list? What is it's definition of recently played, does it mean songs recently played in the party shuffle as opposed to recently played in general? And what does upcoming mean?
Is there any way of being more specific for example by dissallowing songs that have been played in the last week and so on? My party shuffle draws songs from another playlist of my favourite songs from the library.
It'd be good if the party shuffle or smart playlists were smarter and you could choose more than one set of rules! eg. "do not include songs played in the last week and do not include an artist in the playlist more than once" etc. Is there any way to achieve this?!
Thanks for any help!

Thanks Colin, I didn't notice the plus and minus signs that let you add or take away rules in the smart playlist
I've now rigged up a couple of smart playlists and a party shuffle that creates a really good mix, the only thing is that because I've got more albums by some artists than others, the artists that have more albums are randomly selected more often. Do you know if there is any way I can limit the number of times an artist can appear in a smart playlist? I found the script that creates a playlist of one song by every artist, but once a song by a particular artist has been played it will not automatically replace that song with another song by that artist if there is one.
Thanks again, Darren

ITunes Party Shuffle - Questions

I have read several discussion but have not found one exactly on point with regard to the following:
1. If I choose any Smart List as my source for the shufle (say Hip Hop/Rap), it plays album in their exact orders. It does not shuffle b/w albums. Example: it will play just Beastie Boys.
2. Sometimes when I pick a playlist as the shuffle source, I get the following error message "The playlist __________ does not contain any songs playable by Party Shuffle." Why? What does this mean?
3. General, non-Party Shuffle question: why is it that in my Library some songs are checked (the box is checked), while other songs are not checked? What is the significance?
Thanks everyone!

1. Check your shuffle settings to make sure you've got them enabled the way you like. Edit > Preferences > Playback You can shuffle by song, artist, or album.
2. Are the songs on this playlist checked? They won't play if they're unchecked.
3. If you want songs to play and be part of shuffle, etc. they need to be checked. ITunes ignores them when they're unchecked.

Party Shuffle with Shared Music

I saw this question posted a few times (all of which are archived and do not allow posting of replies). Does anyone have any good info as to why Party Shuffle can't pull from a shared music library? The only real "workaround" is to play the library and select the "Shuffle" button, but you obviously don't have control over what songs get played next.
I would really like to see this available. Is it in the works or should I just not expect it at all.

Doesn't look like anyone else cares... Oh well...

What is the Party Shuffle on the Source List?

In the manual it says it is a place to create a 'live' mix of songs that you want to include. However, that sounds just like what the Smart Playlist or any other playlist you want to create can do.
Does anyone know the difference?

The Party Shuffle lets you be a DJ (like at a party).
If someone at your "party" wants a certain song, go find it in the Library and drag it to the Party Shuffle.
In the Party Shuffle, you can change the order (click & drag) or delete upcoming songs.
No need to stop the music which is currently playing.

ATV as Airtunes Client using Itunes Party Shuffle

Hey guys, I like to set up a Party Shuffle on the upstairs iMac, connect to the ATV as an airtunes client and that allows me to use the onscreen display on my TV to show what is playing in the Party Shuffle, and that of course lets me use the ATV remote to skip songs etc., but is there anyway to see the upcoming songs in a playlist on the ATV-connected TV screen like you can on the iMac when you look at Party Shuffle? It's a great way to have the two floors of the house enjoying the same music at the same time. Has anyone noticed a way to do this? Thanks in advance.
Lovin' my ATV more and more everyday!
Brian.

Unfortunately you cannot do this with the tv.

ITunes Party Shuffle Time Duration?

Anyone know of a way to set how long you want a Party Shuffle to go for? I like listening to music when I go to bed. I suppose I could create small playlist and shuffle within that, but I think it would be cool to be able to set Party Shuffle to go for 1 hour and then go to bed. Any ideas? I tried setting the computer to sleep at a certain time, but that didn't seem to work...

You could always set up a smart playlist that uses the conditions "Playlist is (your favorite playlist) and "Last Played is not in the last 1 day" and then set "Limit to 20 songs selected by random". This will randomly select a different set of tunes every night, and with an average of 3 minutes per track limiting the playlist to 20 or so will give you the hour or so you want.

Itunes will not load entire music library only random songs to iPhone

My iTunes will only load random songs and not my entire library to my iPhone.

Beatport sells a choice of WAV or MP3. I have bought MP3s from Beatport and they added to iTunes without a problem. Just in case there is something going on with the files, try treating them with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator.
