ITunes Preview - Music Player

Hey all,
as a web developer I felt like being struck by a lightning when first seeing the iTunes Preview implementation. The music player, the blue round player, impressed me a lot, it is so simple, but yet so different to all other music player implementations out there. So first of all, well done Apple!
Now of course, I was trying to find a similarly cool web music player, but couldn't find one. Does anyone know of a web music player that acts just like the one on the iTunes Preview pages?
I have seen similar players out there, (ie. here: Sam Attwater when going to album, or here: Musikagentur when going to "Künstler" and then selecting "Musik") but I have not found a single developer of such a player. Can anyone help me out on this one?
I know this is a bit off topic, but as we all love the great style and usability of Apple products, it would be nice to spread that technology and make the entire web a nicer and better place.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Best,
René

Select "Edit", choose "Preferences", click the "Advanced" tab and then select the "General" tab. Lastly put a check mark next to "Use iTunes as the default player for audio files". This should solve your problem.

Itunes 9 music player randomly stops working when I'm checking out music

Before I buy something I like to sample it first. And I can do that most of the time. But every once is awhile it will stop working in the middle of a song. Then it won't work at all anymore. If anyone knows the solution please tell me. Or if there was maybe someone in apple that I could get a hold of too. That would be great. Thanks.

First I would try this
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Next remove the Apple software using the instruction above and install a previous version. You can Google to find the previous versions

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

Previewing music in itunes store

is there a "play all" function when previewing music in the itunes store, like if i am previewing an album? a lot of times i am doing other stuff on my comp while previewing music at the same time and it gets annoying having to switch back and forth every 30 sec. to go to the next song, while it would be easier to just have all of the songs play through.

Don't have time to test it now, and don't know if it will work for your situation, but you can drag items from the iTunes Store onto a playlist. This may give you the continuous playback you want.

Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external hard drive while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?

There is no setting in the iPhone to set another default music player. The default is Music. If you are using another application, you are at the mercy of how that application operates as far as what occurs when it stops or errors out. The car is looking for music to play.

BUG? Music Player in iTunes is broken after update to 10.5

I updated to iTunes 10.5.0.142 so that I could load the new ios on my iPad. My music player worked flawlessly prior to the update, but now every single song in my library plays distorted. Most songs are mp3's that I've ripped myself so I can play these on other players and verify it's not the audio file. Every song playing through iTunes sounds like static, heavy synth, and cymbals. I can tell it's the song I'm selecting, but it just doesn't sound right - maybe like you're listening to it on an FM radio channel and you're 2 clicks way (trying to listen to 94.7 FM on 94.9 FM, for example).
I attempted to resolve by first "repairing" iTunes and then i uninstalled/reinstalled; nothing has worked. I tried getting Support from Apple but it wants me to pay for an issue with the "free" software...no thanks. Thankfully my hardware is working fine, albeit the iPad 1 is noticably SLOWER after this update.
Mp3s played through Windows Media, Spotify, or HP Play (for my Touchpad) are all good - just not iTunes. Is anyone else experiencing these issues using the iTunes music player? This seems like a serious software bug. Absolutely nothing changed on my computer except for the version of iTunes.

I updated to 10.5.0.142 the day before yesterday when prompted but already had iTunes open, chose not to reboot my PC (as requested) but shut it down at the end of the day. Yesterday when I did boot up the PC and try to go into iTunes it just kept crashing - I got some sort of APPCRASH dialogue) before it could even open it! I tried rebooting again but got no further.
Then I deleted iTunes out of my programs and tried a reinstall, but STILL it kept crashing. So I then deleted it again and this time downloaded 10.4.1 from this link http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427 (bottom of the page). All is now rosy again It did tell me that there is a newer version of iTunes as soon as i went in but obviously I ignored this and turned off the prompt I won't be upgrading for a few months or at least untill I hear that all is in working order.
Don't expect this sort of thing from Apple (and I hear that there are proplems with the latest iPhone OS upgrade).

I want to make iTunes my default music player + P.S.

RE: music &/or video playing on my iMac
What is the path that I must take to find out where to set iTunes as the default music/video player? I believe that I have QuickTime at this point, but have learned that for the music player, iTunes is the preferred application. One can import, organize, browse, plan, and burn all in the same application. So.... I am going to change over but need to know where it is. I know it is in System Preferences but can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thank you.
P.S.: I now have music automatically starting and looping on a page in my website. I am going to add more music to my pages, too.

Hi Lorna...
Still up, huh? Me too.
.......... Lorna says ................................................
I was up late last night, though not as late as the time I went to bed at 6 AM. And then woke up at 9 AM.
I don't think you need to do anything really to have
iTunes handle your audio files. Keep in mind that in
general, iTunes=audio, and QuickTime player=video.
I believe that OS X is already set up along these
lines and the appropriate application will open up
according to file types and file extensions....
.......... Lorna says ................................................
But James every now and again I deal with some sort of programlet or another, and it asks me whether or not I want to have THAT program as my default handler of (whatever). In the past (but probably prior to Tiger) I have accepted the idea because it seemed sane and probably appropriate. I know that in the past, it was a matter of choice between iTunes and QuickTime.
This
is not to say, though, that the occasional podcast
or ITMS video file can't be played in iTunes and
that QuickTime player can't also open up audio
files.
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Aha. My podcasts come in thru iTunes. That is how I accidentally discovered (the other night) that I had probably clicked onto someone's podcast icon. It had lovely music on it.
Ultimately, everything is part of the same
thing. That's what is so easy about using
Macs...things just work.
So no worries, Lorna.... I have added some audio to
my website, too....dedicated to you, Lorna... It's
just baby sounds, but hey...it's SOUND!
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Those sounds are very sweet. Baby squeals are always heart tuggers. Innocent, vulnerable creatures always have a straight path to the heart, and thus so do the little creature sounds that they make.
I am soon going to work on my second song for another page. As you know, I began it last night.
(The only semi-nightmare scenario I see is me not being too acquainted with the html page, and maybe sneezing and my mouse erases data on the page and everything on that page gets wiped out. I am a little bit (a lot) afraid of messing up changing the html on the new page. 8-( 8-( 8-( And Apnewbie is somewhere in the mountains with his son. HahahahahahaHAHAHA!
OK. Back to serious controlled business here.

Crackaly Music in iTunes not Media Player

When I play music from any source (CD, mp3, m4p) in iTunes, the music plays clearly for a few seconds and then starts to sound "crackaly". It progressively gets worse until you can't hear the music. The same songs play fine in Windows Media Player, and also play fine from my iPod once they are sync'd. I have reinstalled iTunes, and have the latest version. I have also updated my audio drivers.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this?
If not where can I get support for this type of issue?
Why does apple make it impossible to find any support phone #'s or email addresses?

Songs and Other Content Do Not Play Correctly

ITunes Content missing from Music Player on iPhone

Certain iTunes content that I sync to my iPhone 4 is present on the device, but missing from certain categories in the Music Player. For example, I have an many albums from the The Rolling Stones, when I search by artist, pull up The Rolling Sones, certain albums are missing, even if I select ALL SONGS they aren't even listed there. I know they are on the device because I can find them by searching by album, or by just doing a general search on the iPhone. This is not just an issue with one artist, it's many. I have done a full restore with no luck. What's the deal, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

If yo are not using a VPN or similar that would locate you in another country:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect to another network
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Music player in iPhone doesn't show cover of album, downloaded from itunes

I bought an album on iTunes and downloaded it on the iPhone (without program). The music player program doesn't show the album cover. I see it in iTunes program on computer, but don't see it in iPhone. Deleted album from iPhone, uploaded it again, using iTunes program. Nothing changed.
iPhone 5s 8.0.2

I do not know what the intention is to open and run command prompt on iphone. Lovely picture, BTW, thank you.
Apple created iphones and ipads the way that windows explorer or OS can only read and manage one folder. DCIM
folder that contains your pictures on the phone. Only the pictures made by you, nothing else. So anything you trying to accomplish in command prompt is not going to happen.
If you read somewhere that you need to right click to back up your phone or transfer purchases or restore you need to be looking on the other screen in that article. Look at how to back up instructions here. They have step by step.

'Itunes music player' file- HELP ME

I recently downloaded (legally- so it should work) an album online and it saved into my downloads on my computer as an itunes music player file. i cannot get it to open or play on my itunes, anyone know how i can do this? thanks.

A .zip file is a compressed archive and needs to be uncompressed with an unzip utility such as WinZip. That should give you the actual track files which you can drag into iTunes.
Regards.
