ITunes stops playing in Album View

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if iTunes has always been this way, but I never noticed this in iTunes 9. In Album View, if I'm listening to an album and start looking through the rest of my library, iTunes will finish playing the song it is currently playing then stop altogether. It won't move onto the next song on the album, I haven't clicked on any other song anywhere else in the library. Can I get it to keep playing the album I originally told it to until I click play on another album or song regardless of what album I am looking at while in Album View?
Thanks

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
This really irritating behaviour is not new. It happens whenever you use the search field or the column browser to display a subsection of the library from the same playlist that is currently playing media. If the selection no longer includes the album you were playing everything grinds to a halt at the end of the current track. Either queue the album up in iTunes DJ or having started the album playing use a different playlist to explore or edit your library.

How do I get Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track

How do I get stupid Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track #3 is a duet w/ "Jane Doe", it treats it as a separate album! What can I do

Hi
All my tracks are MP3.
In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column. If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

Itunes stops playing on Windows 7

I have just installed the most recent Itunes 64 bit for Windows 7 (10.6.1.7)
Itunes stops playing after about 5 songs if there is nothing else running. If there is another program running, it happens after a minute.
Everything seems to work except music playback. The play/pause command can be clicked but the progress bar won't move and no audio plays.
The problem also occurs when Itunes is started in Safe Mode and also when a new library is created.
I must close and restart to hear music another 4-5 songs before the situation repeats.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Same Problem here. Also, when this happens, it loses whatever album art was playing before. I've tried reinstalling and it doesn't help. Any ideas how to fix this? It's really annoying!

ITunes stops playing music after 20 seconds

Hi there, after upgrading my os to Mac OS 10.5.1 and iTunes 7.6, iTunes stops playing my tunes after about 20 seconds. I have no idea why this is happening???

Try deleting the cache. Go to User Name>Library>Cache. Locate the iTunes cache file and delete that file.

When I move my mouse Itunes stops playing. This was happening before I installed latest version. I have installed latest version three times. First and install, then as a repair, and third time I unistalled Itunes and reinstalled i.

when I move my mouse Itunes stops playing music. Sometimes this happens immediatly and sometime it take 10 to 15 sec. I tried playing Itunes and then tabing another program but same result. If I click on play and do not move mouse Itunes works as usual.. This was happening before I installed latest version. I have installed latest version three times. First and install, then as a repair, and third time I unistalled Itunes and reinstalled i.

At various stages over the years, mouse-related iTunes trouble has been associated with driver conflicts. So it might be worth following up on that possibility.
Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of PC, and check to make sure you're not behind on any chipset and input-device-related driver updates. (And while there, just in case, also check to make sure your BIOS, sound-card/integrated audio, and video-card/display-adaptors are up to date.)
If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that help with the mouse-related iTunes issues?

My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes on Apple TV 2. Is there any fix for this?

My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes. It just appears to buffer for no reason. I have checked to make sure that the hard drive that these movies are on does not go to sleep. Any ideas?

Why does my iTunes stop playing when I close the lid on my laptop?

I am playing iTunes on my Vista laptop and my setting are 'do nothing' for both powered and battery use, but when I close the lid iTunes stops playing music. Does anyone know why and how I stop it? Please don't say "don't close the lid..." Thanks.

You have your answer... there is no way to stop iTunes from stopping playing music when the lid is closed.
You can try adjusting the power settings, but if that's not working...there is no way for iTunes to override it.

ITunes stops playing and cannot connect to Remote app whenever the computer display turns off??

I have a Windows system with iTunes, and an iPhone with the Remote app installed, through which I use to play music on iTunes. Until recently iTunes would play regardless of whether my monitor was on or not, and I could connect to iTunes with the Remote app regardless of the monitor state. Now, however, after updating both iTunes and Remote with the new versions that came out around the time of the iPhone 4S release, whenever my computer turns off my monitor, iTunes stops playing at the end of the current song and the Remote app cannot find iTunes. This is not a system sleep state, I just have the power options set to turn off the monitor after 15 minutes of inactivity. Sleep and hibernate are disabled on the system and always have been, expressly for the purpose of allowing iTunes playback via Remote. If I jiggle the mouse and the system turns the monitor back on then I can manually reenable playback, and Remote can connect to iTunes again. I can't find any setting in Preferences that would control this. How do I fix this? Thanks.

I'm so glad someone else is having this problem. I am in exactly the same situation!
1. Windows Vista
2. Upgraded iTunes to 10.5 and upgraded remote with iOS 5
3. My computer has never been set to sleep, but the monitor turns off after 20 mins.
4. If the monitor goes to sleep, itunes stops streaming music and Remote can't connect to it
5. If I change my monitor off time to 1 hour, then in 1 hour itunes will stop streaming - it is ABSOLUTELY connected to the monitor sleeping. Almost like iTunes can't connect to the network the the monitor is off.
Please help! I have been using remote for a year and this didn't happen until I upgraded to iTunes 10.5.

ITunes stops playing in between songs in an album or playlist

Since 'upgrading' to iTunes 7, when I'm playing an album or playlist the music will randomly stop completely after a few tracks.
It stops just at the end of a track and the status bar at the top has the diamond on the right hand side of the bar, indicating 0 seconds left to play.
Once this has happened when I double click on another song to play it, the play button will turn to pause, but nothing will happen. The diamond stays on 0 seconds and no music plays. Nor does it work if I drag the diamond to a later spot in the song.
So far I've been resolving this by reopening iTunes, which seems to be a temporary fix. Is there a way to completely remedy this problem?
thanks

i just downloaded and installed iTunes 7.0.1 (maybe another .0 in there?)and it happened again.
it seems that if youi don't touch anything and just tell it to pause then play it will start up again, but this is still really annoying if i'm doing something else. Can anyone help me?

Why won't iTunes just PLAY an album, in order, from start to finish?!

Very confused....I can't get an album to play through iTunes on my Mac anymore. It used to work just fine but now, no matter what I try, every time I try to play an album iTunes just picks one song at random from the album and plays that. It won't move on to the next one, even if I try to press the button to skip to the next track. It always seems to play the same track and won't let me do anything!
It's really annoying and I can't see what is different from before I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Getting thoroughly disheartend with iTunes lately; wish I had never bothered downloading the latest version-it's horrible!
Can anyone out there help with a straight forward and not-too-technical explanation to help me to be able to play an album, from start to finish , in the order it was made without having to mess about? I am not used to the whole "Apple" way of working yet- previously had a PC with Windows Media Player which worked really easily. iTunes is infuriating me so far!
Thanks!

Open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar and View>Show Status Bar. This will make the new version appear more like earlier versions. Then go to the Controls menu at the top, choose Shuffle and click "Turn Off Shuffle" (if it shows this).

ITunes stops playing for no reason

Every once in a while, iTunes will randomly stop playing in midsong. I'm usually using a different application (Safari, MS Word, etc) when it happens. When I go back to iTunes the "play" key is on pause, as if I were to have paused the song myself. When I press play again, it's all good.
This used to happen with my 5 year old Powerbook G4 and I figured it was just the computer slowly decaying, but the same thing happens in my brand new Macbook, so I'm assuming it may be a software glitch. I'm running 7.5 right now. It's not a huge inconvenience, but I know it's not supposed to be happening.
Anyone else have this problem?

You could try deleting the plist:
1.) Quit iTunes
2.) Go to Home > Library > Preferences and delete a file called com.apple.itunes.plist
3.) Restart or logout/login comp
4.) Open iTunes and try again
Also try in a new user. That'll narrow it down to an issue with your account or something more system-wide.

ITunes stops playing after a few songs

I am running iTunes on a Macbook Air, the music is stored on a time capsule. I also run the Remote App on the iPad.
I play back songs through the Airport Express and after a few songs, it stops playing (always when a song is over - NEVER during a song). I hit play to start it again but the busy icon shows for a bit and nothing happens.
When I switch the audio output back to "computer" it starts playing, when I switch back to the airport express then, the playback works again - until it eventually stops again.
The Airport Express doesn't seem to be an issue, as we received a NEW one yesterday with the same thing happening.

Hi jakeloveslucy
Thanks for your feedback. However, just to clarify: my iTunes Library is not stored on my TC itself, yet on a separate HD that is USB'd to the TC.
Also I wonder where it's stated that a iTunes Library is 'meant' to be stored locally.
Regards.
