Party Shuffle error

I'm on the most current version of itunes. - 7.1.1. Recently, when I try to use the party shuffle feature, I get the following error:
The playlist "Music" does not contain any songs playable by Party Shuffle. Are you sure you want to chose this playlist?"
I've used this feature before. Thanks!

You get this behaviour if the playlist is empty, I take it Music is not empty? But it also happens if all tracks are unchecked (the little box to the left of the name column).
You can check all boxes quickly with ctrl click in one of the boxes.

Party Shuffle not working...help?

I can't get my Party Shuffle to work. I'm running version 7.0.1 and when I select Party Shuffle there's nothing on the playlist. Then I select a source (doesn't seem to matter what I select here...Music, or Purchased or a Playlist) and shuffle and I get an error message that says "The playlist "xxx" does not contain any songs playable by Party Shuffle. Are you sure you want to choose this playlist?" This is the first time I've actually tried this, although I've been importing music to my itunes for some time. Thanks!

Usually, you will only get that message when choosing an empty playlist or one containing streams only.
Any other playlist should work.
I've tried to get the same problem as you're having, using various settings in iTunes 7.0.2, but I did not succeed.
iTunes 7.0.2 has a number of bugs fixes. Can you (and are you willing to) upgrade to iTunes 7.0.2 and tell us if the problem is solved or still persists?

Party Shuffle: "iTunes is unable to browse album artwork on this computer"

Hello
I have recently had to completely wipe and reformat my hard-drive, after the Operating System started running really slowly. I'm now back up to speed and everything's great, including iTunes.
However, when I go to run the Party Shuffle, I get the above error message showing. Whilst this doesn't interfere with the functionality of the application, I was wondering if there was perhaps some additional component that needed to be installed in order to make iTunes able to display the artwork. For what it's worth, I can view the artwork in the Artwork Browser, just not in Jukebox mode.
None of this is a showstopper, but I know that I used to have this functionality and now I don't.
TIA.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: iTunes 7 for Windows is unable to display album covers in Cover Flow

Party Shuffle and Videos

Hello
I generally use Party Shuffle all the time when listening to my music collection. Sometimes, though, videos are included in the shuffle - I have imported *.mov files into iTunes, and none of them are music videos.
Does anyone know if there is a way to prevent these videos from being added to the shuffle please?
Thanks

B. Kennedy,
From my testing, it seems as you can create a smart playlist. Then edit and set to "Video kind as Music Video" and it will create a playlist to view your Music videos. (purchased at the iTunes Store)
Then choose the Smart playlist, from the souce pop-up after clicking on the Party Shuffle icon.
How many videos do you see have been added?
If that shows more than 7 videos, try playing to check for a repeat pattern.
If it is the same 7, than it would appear likely you have no more than 7 music videos and the other videos you have are currently not supported for the iTunes feature.
You can try the other 2 options for the Video Kind (i.e., Movie or TV Show), however I tried those and had the error:
The playlist "name of playlist" does not contain any songs playable by Party Shuffle. Are you sure you want to chose the playlist?

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.

Can my Party Shuffle problems be solved? Is anybody else experiencing this?

There are 3 glitches i have encountered using Party Shuffle (PS) in iTunes (v 7.0.2.16) that i don't know how to fix:
1) When PS displays/sets the upcoming songs i'll be listening to, which are pulled from one of my smart playlists, a song will frequently show up twice in the shuffle queue. The higher the number of songs i have displayed "on deck", the more likely i am to see songs repeat, but i'll often have a song listed twice in just a 10 song shuffle queue, and sometimes thrice. Once the song is actually played though, it won't be put back into my PS queue anytime soon (because the smart playlist i have PS pull the songs from is set to only include songs i haven't listened to in the last month and have a playcount less than 10 or so (which by the way is an otherwise great way to sortof normalize the "randomness" of the iTunes' shuffle probabilities).) Nevertheless, it's not until the song actually plays and in turn updates the Last Played and Playcount fields for the song that it will take it out of the smartplaylist... but by then the song has already been queued multiple times in PS. (By the way, my Smart Shuffle playback option in iTunes preferences is set to the "least likely" extreme.) Anyway, it sounds like a lot of people are having issues with songs repeating too much and with iTunes' ghost preferences for some songs over others.
2) I've also noticed that a number of people were having trouble getting PS to play songs continuously instead of one-at-a-time (i.e. having to press play again after each song ends to get the next queued one going). I heard this was taken care of with the latest update - v 7.0.2.16 (although i wish there actually were a way to toggle a continuous play option). Anyway, the recomened solution at the time seemed to be to set the PS option for displaying the number of recently played songs to something other than 0. So, i thought i would change mine to 0 to see if it actually would only play one-at-a-time. It did not. Instead, it started to do something even stranger. It now updates the Last Played and Playcount fields for the new song coming into the queue instead of the song that just finished playing. This isn't really the biggest deal to me, since i usually like to see what the last few songs played were, but it's a glitch nonetheless.
3) The only other thing i've personally noticed, which isn't really the biggest deal either, is that sometimes when i tell iTunes to "clear album artwork" from a song... well, it doesn't do it. So i have the wrong album cover showing up in PS for songs that are playing. The only way it seems i can get rid of it is to replace it with some different image/cover... which can be a little annoying when you don't want to take the time to go trackdown the correct 200 x 200 pixel image for the album.
Well, i hope someone can help... especially with the first one. I'm guessing these issues can't be resolved until some future updates are released to deal with them. I hope you can prove me wrong though. I also hope Apple has some people listening in these forums for people talking about this stuff so they can fix these bugs... 'cause i don't know of anywhere someone can report an iTunes software bug/glitch.
Cheers!

I am still on 6.0.5 so I can't really deal with your question, but just an observation.
You say the source for your party shuffle is a smart playlist. How many songs are there in the smart playlist? The fewer there are the more likely you are to get repeats in your party suffle list. Appologies if this is obvious.

Hi,
Please review the following notes for more information:

210997 Accnt assignmt categoriesin third-party and indiv.P
On creating Purchase order for requirement created for a customer sales order stock, if the customer sales order stock is not valuated, this means a Consumption ( GBB ) account is involved here. If the posting is a consumption account, SAP allows the user to decide whether it should be autotmatically or manually entered. Because of this option, system need this account to be set with Field 'Automatic posting only' to ' '.
With this field 'Automatic posting only' setting to ' ', whether the account can be automatically or manually entered is then controlled by the field status in the PO creation. If you do not want the user to enter the account manually, then this account should be set to display mode in PO.
If the customer sales order stock is valuated, then in General business process, this would involve a BSX ( material account )
postings. Normally this is automatically derived during PO creations. No manual enterring is allowed. Thus if it is correct to set this account with field Automatic posting only' setting to 'X' in FI settings.

Unauthorized songs stop play from Party Shuffle.

I have a mac laptop that is authorized for two iTunes store accounts, and a computer authorized for only one. I get audio files from a shared source, a linux machine with a pair of harddrives in RAID, but after importing all of the songs into iTunes, it will add those that are not authorized to play, and will put them into party shuffle, and every time it comes to one of them it will ask for authorization information, and will not go onto the next one untill I manually skip to the next song.
How do I set it to not add music that the computer is not authorized to play to party shuffle, since rarely can I see someone wanting to authorize a computer when it gets to a track in party shuffle, and the fact that it stops playing is annoying.

It works... i just tested it.
if you want to prove it to yourself, or check, just make a new playlist, add, say, three songs to it, then change party shuffle to use that folder, go back to playlist, uncheck one song, go back to party shuffle, hit refresh, and bask in my genious!

How to create playlist of party shuffle from CD?

I had moved all my gigabytes of songs into a DVD to free up some space. How do i create playlist of party shuffle from the DVD?
I guess the answer is NO. Any workaround?

You can't create a playlist within the shuffle itself. It has to be created in iTunes first, then synced across.

Party Shuffle for my TV Shows and Movies?

Party Shuffle does not work for TV Shows and Movies.
Is there any way to make it for iTunes 8.0.1.11?
Or this is something that will happen in a future release?
Thanks.

The files are also saved as .m4v . I don't know what this means but for example, a tv show that won't play in iTunes 10.4.1 (10) is Isobel.m4v
Please help me!!!

Party shuffle issue

Hello, I'm having an odd issue occur.
About a week ago, the Party Shuffle feature stopped playing more than one song. Whatever would normally point it to the next song, seems to not be in place.
I updated to the new iTunes version a few weeks back, but this didn't happen until more recently. Anyone have any ideas?

If you want to see my question, here it is.

Garageband detects a third party midi error?

so every time i open my garageband i get this pop up that says that garageband detected a third party midi error. it wasn't always like that but now i can't get my guitar to be connected into my computer. i have a m-audio firewire solo that i update and it gets a reading from the guitar but garageband wont recognize that its there.
How do i fix this?
macmini G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

having this same problem on many of our school machines that have digidesign stuff also (protools 7.1) i tried all the suggestions from another thread about this:
remove garageband .plist and .cs files,
remove icontrol.bundle from the app's contents
remove digi's midi drivers (which renders the mbox2 useless for midi input of course)
reset pram, repaired permissions, etc. etc.
still no luck
the midi server is unavailable.
