Jump to song currently playing

is there a keyboard combination that will make itunes highlight the currently playing song? to clarify, if i scroll all the way down to the bottom of my playlist, is there a combo that will make the cursor jump to whatever song is playing? for those of you familiar with winamp, im looking for the equivalent of pressing the spacebar while in the playlist editor.

never mind, i found it...me == stupid

Command L no longer brings you to song currently playing

I made the mistake of intalling ITunes 11. Up until now, command L worked in any playlist to bring up the song currently playing. A very handy tool if you have a lot of music. Now with iTunes 11 it only works in the main Music list. Command L does not work in the smart playlists anymore. I need this feature back.

I could see the Controls menu flash every time I tried Command L in a smart playlist, so I am thinking it was recognizing the command, it just would not do it. I found another complaint like this that said that Command L does work in smart playlist only if you hide the sidebar on the left. Which is stupid and I hope Apple fixes that and all the other problems with I-Tunes 11. I have been an Apple user since the Apple IIe days. I am getting fed up with Apple and am starting to wonder why I stay with them.

Why does the song currently playing not correspond with the title

Since the latest update of iTunes when I play a CD or import it into iTunes, the song currently playing and the title shown for that song are not correct. All the songs and titles are there but they are jumbled. Any ideas? Thanks, i need all the help i can get.

There is dirt our moisture in the dock connector on the phone or the end of the cable. Or possibly a bad cable.
You can clean the connector with a dry toothbrush or wooden toothpick; inspect it with a magnifying glass to make sure it is clean.

Stop itunes from skipping back to song currently playing

I have a messy library right now and need to work on it quite a bit! I was curious if there is some way to set itunes to stop skipping back to the song currently playing when I am working on renaming or organizing in a different part of my library?

That bugs me too when I'm working on tags or artwork. So I decide on some songs or an album I want to hear, and drag them into a regular (blue icon) playlist I've named "Now playing".
I start that "Now Playing" list to playing, and then go to back to the main library to do other stuff, or look in the itunes store or at podcasts, etc.

How do I add the option to see the artwork (in the lower left hand corner of the sidebar) of the song currently playing in my library, like I could in previous versions of itunes?

Along with iTunes DJ & Cover Flow, that option has gone...

App to automatically play song currently playing on iPhone through iTunes?

Hey, is there an app out there that would allow me to walk into my house playing a song on my iPhone through the earbuds, and have that song stop on the iphone and continue to play from that spot through iTunes? I often come home listening to a song, and want some way to continue that song through my home speakers without having to open iTunes, start the song, and drag the playhead to the same spot I'm at...I think this is a viable app idea if it doesn't already exist. It should be part of the iPhone software. "Automatic Proximity Sensing Music Zone Switching"
Thanks,
Sam

i have no heard or seen anything like this. what you can do is use the 'remote' app to start playing a song in iTunes, and it should be simple to set this up.
if anything, this would probably be easiest to add to the 'remote' app, if they haven't already thought about it.

Jumping to currently playing track - Any way to disable?

Is there any way to disable iTunes from jumping to the song each time a new one begins? Thanks.

Not being very helpful, I know. I would just like to say that I too think that this is very annoying.
Why is it necessary to jump to the currently playing track every time it changes? It makes it impossible to browse your music collection, especially if it is large. I have about 9000 tracks, and it is almost impossible to find the next track before the currently playing song is over.
You have to have a pretty good idea of what you want to hear before you start browsing.
So it would be very nice if Apple would either disable this "feature" or make it optional.

Drag & Drop image of currently playing song causes the Spotify window to "jump" to another position

When I try to drag and drop the image of the currently playing song (the one that appears under the playlist list, on the left side of the screen), the entire Spotify window jumps (i.e. moves/repositions) inside the screen to a totally different position, making it impossible to drag the song to the intended playlist. It seems that the the window is moved to the current mouse cursor position (i.e. the left top position of the window becomes the mouse cursor position, with an offset). When I reposition the window again manually, and try to do the same thing, it doesn't happen. I have been able to reproduce this issue a 100% of the times: I just refocus a few other windows I have open and then try to add the currently playing song to a playlist in the afore mentioned way.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Disabling iTunes from jumping to currently playing song

iTunes by default will automatically jump to the next song that is played. This really messes with me when I'm working on my library. The music library jumps to that song, and I have to scroll back to where I was in the library.
Is there an option or even some sort of plugin that will let it play the next song normally but not change the focus of where you are.
For example, if I'm pulling songs out of my library to add to a playlist, I lose my spot in the library every time a new song begins playing.

I really wish there was a better way like a built in option or even a plugin, without having to go with this playlist nonsense workaround. You would think Apple would be smart enough to add that option, I'm sure I'm not the only one annoyed by this. From searching google for answers, it seems there a ton of people who want this behavior but no real way to do it besides going through your work-around.
Even today it annoyed me, I was renaming tracks to their correct name, instead of "Track 1", "Track 2" etc, and then one of my playing songs switched to the next. So the highlight jumped all the way to the bottom of my library and I had to go find where I was working again.
I'll probably use your workaround tomorrow or in the next few days If I don't get another response with the miracle plugin that is seemingly impossible to find. It really can't be that hard to make a plugin of this sort could it? Maybe I can make a post in a forum where people build plugins, hoping someone would be willing to take the challenge to help others and I.

Select a song to play next (after current song)

I love iTunes, but for me it's just missing one thing....
I can't (at least I don't know how) select a certain song from my playlist to play AFTER the current song is finished... If it would have that function, or a way to do this, it would be ALL I need for a music player.
Is there a way in iTunes to select the song to play next?
And/or arrange your playlist in the way (the order of songs) you want?

*Is there a way in iTunes to select the song to play next?*
iTunes doesn't have the "queuing" option you describe (except within the Party shuffle function which queues songs and within which you can drag songs into order). If you'd like to see an option like this in some futer version of iTunes you can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback
*And/or arrange your playlist in the way (the order of songs) you want?*
Open the playlist and click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move, hold down the mouse button and drag the song to where you want it to be. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.

How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

Last night, when I played my playlist songs with iTunes Genius, my iTunes, with one of my playlists selected, and set on "Shuffle On," "Genius Shuffle On, "Genius On," "Match On," and "Play," played selections from all of my songs in my playlist. Today, my iTunes Genius went back to the same problem it was giving me before last night. My iTunes Genius has been playing selections from just a few of my playlist albums.

No backup is a huge mistake.

TS1412 My iPod shuffle periodically skips across multiple songs...playing a song or two and then jumping forward or back multiple songs after playing only moments of a song. Please tell me what I can do to fix this. Thanks

My iPod shuffle periodically skips across multiple songs...playing a song or two in full and then jumping forward or back multiple songs after playing only moments of a song. Please tell me what I can do to fix this situation. Thank you very much.

This is in regards to a 4th gen 40gb clickwheel ipod.
Hi, i've also been having a very similar problem with my ipod as well. I find that regardless of which windows-based pc i use (either my xp laptop @ home, or my win2000 desktop @ work) windows and itunes refuses to recognise my ipod. In windows explorer it will show it as a removable drive, but if i click on it, windows freezes. If I try to disconnect it, I cant because windows keeps reporting that 'the device is being used, try disconnecting later' and so then i shut down my laptop to disconnect it safely.
Lately, like you, i've also noticed that clicking sound it makes. It happens when i connect my ipod to my computer - like the drive inside it is constantly restarting or something, and i get it when i'm playing / charging it in my dock. I've also noticed that when it's playing whilst charging, it just freezes on a song, then skips a couple of songs.
I've just discovered the disgnostic tools on my ipod, so i think i'll run a couple of tests (ie HDD scan) and depending on the outcome, i'll go visit the apple store.

How can i get itunes to quit skipping to the currently playing song when i'm working on the library somewhere else?

You might be able to achieve what you want by using Party Shuffle. Set the source for Party Shuffle to be the playlist you want to listen to or add the tracks you want to listen to by control clicking on them and selecting Add to Party Shuffle. Once everything is in Party Shuffle, you can rearrange them to your satisfaction. As the songs are played, they'll roll off the queue. You can quit iTunes and even when you restart, all your songs will be there, in the order you want, waiting for you to hit play.

Currently playing music screen shows song and artist in really small text

I have a 64gb ipod touch that i bought last year. I mostly use it in the car while driving and the music currently playing screen shows the artist name and song title unreadable. The text size is really small at the top of the screen and its dark grey in color with a darker grey background. The ipod touch has a decent sized screen, but it's all wasted to have this big useless music note displayed.
How can I display the artist name and song title properly on my ipod?

have you tried the five Rs?
(reset, restore etc.)

When I try to play an album from my library, the first song will play but then it will jump to another album. iTunes is also splitting up my albums in a strange way. any help?

When I try to play an album from my library, the first song will play, but then it jumps to a different album. iTunes is also splitting up certain albums like sound tracks. any help?

I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.
