ITunes should have a "Play Next" feature

Hey all,
I'm not sure about anyone else, but when I am playing music on iTunes, I would love to have a "play next" feature. For instance, if you're listening to one song and you know what song you would like to play next, you can simply just select that song and choose for it to be "played next." I get annoyed by making playlists and it just clogs my side bar on iTunes whenever I decide to do so.
Anyone know how I can contact Apple to let them know they need this feature on their next update?

Hi, I totally agree with PJM1. The party shuffle will do the trick for one subsequent song, but not if you want to say build a cue of 4 or 5 then sit back and listen. Sending a second song to the party shuffle replaces the first one sent there. There should be some sort of temporary cue you can build with a simple click. And it would be even better if iPods had the same feature, where some button combo told it to play whatever song as soon as the current one is finished. I find it really annoying, especially when driving, to navigate to a song, then have to wait for the first one to end, then navigate back to select the next one while some song I don't wants starts up.
There was once some sort plug in that supposedly did it, but when I tried it it didn't work. I think it was for like iTunes 4 and didn't work even with iTunes 6.

  • What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the playnext and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

    What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the play next and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

    I started out with version 11 and loved it right up to the latest update.
    I'm beyond my partying days so DJ has nothing for me but I realy loved the drop down with "what's next", the "play next" and the "add to play next" feature and best of all "SHOW DUPLICATES".
    I have an eclectic taste in music and a very extensive music collection to go with it. The "show duplicates" feature allowed me to shrink my library by well ove 1,000 songs and eliminated hearing the same song several times when playing randomly. ie, I have the complete Rolling Stones collection and was able to get rid of no fewer than 7 coppies of "Satisfaction".
    With all the duplicates lined up you can sample each one and avoid deleting different versions also.
    I'm eagerly waitng for the next update to see if my problems with 11 will be fixed. The current update drops out sections of songs (Whipping Post by the Alman Bros. was over in 3 minutes) and I tried repairing and a complete uninstall, reinstall to no avail.

  • Play Next feature coming to iPhone

    Just started using iTunes 11 and I'm loving the play next feature. I was wondering if this feature is being developed for the iOS as well.
    Also, is it possible to make your play next queue a playlist?

    Please use the iTunes / iOS Apps forums, thanks.

  • Itunes 7 have a dvd burning feature?

    does itunes 7 have a dvd burning feature to burn tv shows to dvd? Who do i email to request this feature if itunes 7 doesn't have it?
    thanks

    It does not have it because the movie studios and television producers do not want it (not because Apple can't/won't put it in there).

  • My iPhone5 is stolen, but i have no ID's. iTune should have it. Can Apple lock so the device?

    My iPhone5 is stolen, but i have no ID's. iTune should have it. Can Apple lock the device with these data?
    And how can I move Apple to do so?

    Apple will not do anything.  If you activated "Find my phone" you may be able to locate it via your iCloud loginid - but if you cannot remember the id then you are out of luck. The best you can do is report the theft to the police.

  • Add the "play next" feature. (Adding chosen lists of songs to any playlist already playing)

    Hello, I'm new to spotify and didn't find any duplicates for this idea. Sorry if I'm wrong. Even though I'm new to Spotify, I've used several streaming services already (grooveshark, google play, winamp, etc.) And they all shared a very dear feature to me which I'll call "Play Next" in lack of a better name. The feature is pretty basic and useful: Choosing the song which will play next, before whichever song that was meant to play. There you are, listening to your randomized playlist and you just want to hear a song, or a few songs (either from the playlist itself or not), but you don't necessarily want to stop your playlist from playing. Being new to spotify, I don't know what to do in this situation, I have to click the song and then re-randomize the songs again? Anyhow, I believe it would be a nice addition to the service if you could manipulate the list's order while playing. Then we would be able to listen to any songs we like whenever we like and keep listening to the random songs afterwards. Sorry for any bad english.

    Hey there and welcome to the community!
    Have you tried to 'Queue' a song? On desktop just right-click a song you want to listen to and choose 'Queue'. Then it will play after the current song. Once that song has been played, your playlist will continue normally. You can access the Play Queue when clicking on the bottom right 3 vertical lines icon.
    Was that what you're looking for? ;)

  • Do iPod Generation 4 have the "Play Next" Option?

    My friend who has the iPhone 5 had the play next option by holding down on the song he wanted to play next then choosing the play next button. I was just wondering if the iPod Gen 4 had this option of do only the iPod and iPhone Gen 5 have this option? Or are they going to make this available to older models in an upcoming update?

    I do not know but based on discussions here, the mic on the 4G iPod is not that good. It is one the backside near the camera lens. Yu can however purchase mics that plug into the headphone jack. Google for:

  • Should have been an obvious feature concering shuffle

    Hey guys -
    I was browsing through my albums in +Cover Flow+ today. I had shuffle enabled. Each time I double-clicked an album cover, the very first song of that album played. It felt boring, it felt like I had x songs, not x albums.
    Am I the only one who thinks that it should shuffle the songs of the album I double clicked and play a random song? Apple already did this in the grid view. Why shouldn't it be enabled in Cover Flow as well? I don't see the logic or practical solution in disabling it for Cover Flow.
    A lot of people use Cover Flow for browsing their music. It's a great feature. It's not thrilling to hear the very same song each time you select that album.
    Just think about it.
    Peter =)

    I guess BlackBerry figures as long as you're the owner of the phone and you see power bars in the top right, you probably already know what carrier you're with.  As for the date, I have my calendar icon on my front page and it always shows the current date.
    I'm just makin' conversation here.  Your points are valid ones.
    Cheers.

  • ITunes screensaver: Disable the play album feature?

    In Lion, the iTunes screensaver now plays any album you click but my habit is to click my trackpad or mouse to wake up my mac which inevitably launches iTunes in the background and of course hangs my system for several seconds before playing the music.
    Is there any way to get back to the old screensaver where it woke immediately on mouse movement? Even just editing a .plist file would be a fine solution but I'm not familiar with the structure of the screensaver.
    Any help is appreciated.
    -Rob

    Yes, I have the same problem. I love the screensaver but would like to stop the music launch.

  • Some of my itunes songs have no plays even though they have been played numerous times. Why?

    After upgrading to the most recent version of itunes this happened. Even after playing songs, it resets to zero. Anyone know why?

    Are the songs still in the library, or on the hard drive? Are they checked?

  • Library Lost - Please HeIp I tried updating my old ipod & now all 10,000 songs in my library have an ! next to them and I get the error message "song " " could not be used because the original file could not be found" on every song I try to play

    Please help - this morning I tried updating one of my old ipods for my wife (this ipod hasn't been updated in 2-3 years).  I plugged it into my pc, it was recognized and the software updated.  I created a new playlist and tied to sync the ipod.  This ipod had never been used on this pc/itunes since the pc is only 2 years old.  When I tried to sync the ipod it stated that it would have to erase all the old songs on the ipod prior to syncing.  I clicked ok and it proceeded to wipe out the old ipod and sync the new playlist (~1000 songs).  When the sync was complete there were only 6 songs from the new playlist (all purchased this morning from itunes) on the ipod and to my horror all ~10,000 song on my pc in itunes now have a ! next to them.  Only my recent purchases from itunes do not.  When I click on a song with the ! I get the error message "the song " " could not be used because the original file could not be found."  How do I correct this issue - I am scared to hook my ipads or other ipods to my pc for fear of losing everything?!?!?  I spent 100s of hours burning the 10,000 songs from my cd collection and do not want to have to do it again. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Play next song feature

    Listening on PC using itunes, is there a play next song feature where you can select the next song to be played?

    Not really. Best you can do is make a playlist and play from that.

  • Make selected song play next?

    It seems so simple..
    I have a remote music library which is shared to my laptop. Then I play songs (selected on the laptop iTunes) via airtunes to the stereo.
    All I want is to play a song then while it's playing peruse the shared library, select a song and have it play next. Real simple DJ'ing just for me.
    I can't use playlists on the remote laptop... it won't let me make them from shared songs. And besides my somg choice is very spur of the moment and depends on what I find at the moment.
    Can it be done?
    It seems so simple....

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
