Party shuffle is empty

How it is possible, I don't know....how to resolve I don't know either.
My party shuffle is empty and I don't know how to fill it again. I have succeeded in dragging my whole library to Party shuffle, but then it plays in alphabetical order, even when I click on refresh (nothing happens). Below my list, "source"is set on "library" and I have also seen to it that "Recently played songs" and "Upcoming songs" have numbers in the boxes.
How can I manage to get iTunes to automatically fill and shuffle Party Shuffle?
Can anybody help me out?

I am also having Party Shuffle issues. First, I couldn't get it to refresh with new songs. I tried clearing all the songs and then refreshing, and that worked once. Now, I went out of Itunes then back in again and the same thing happened. Except now when I hit the refresh, I get the following warning: The playlist "Library" does not contain any songs playable by Party Shuffle. Are you sure you want to choose this playlist?
If I choose any playlist, I get this message. If I hit OK anyway, no songs appear. Can someone help???

  • Party Shuffle empty

    I can shuffle songs on my iPod, but when I click party shuffle in iTunes on my computer, it is empty. It's set to display 5 recently played songs and 20 upcoming songs. And (because I saw this referenced in other discussions) the "crossfade" option is not clicked. Why won't the Party Suffle populate?!
    Thanks!

  • 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 stopped working / broken

    Hi -
    Went to use Party Shuffle this morning and it doesn't register any of the options input any more - none of the playlist options, or the number of tracks to show or even the refresh button.
    Very odd. Anyone had this too?
    Thanks -

    +"I can play a single song but then its stops"+
    That usually means your songs have gone unchecked. See the little boxes to the left of the song names? Hold the CTRL key and click any one of the empty boxes.

  • The party shuffle thing has gone mad

    I used to enjoy the party-shuffle function. But all of a sudden it's stopped functioning. Now all it does is shuffle music from the last three CDs I imported (all by the same band). It doesn't matter how many times I press the update-button, it's always the same three albums it suffles!
    I've downloaded the latest version of I-tunes, but It doesn't help.
    What to do?
    /heja

    Thanks for the suggestion macmenno . Had already tried that though and it doesn't help. So I tried deleting the three albums it used completely ( I have the CD's) and now the party - shuffle list is completely empty instead. As I press uppdate, nothing happens.
    Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that I have messed up?

  • Delete from Party Shuffle deleted songs from music library

    I deleted about 40 songs from my Party Shuffle list, and for some reason, iTunes deleted the music entirely from my iTunes music library, and from the other playlists the music was on. The "undo" option is no longer available and the music is no longer on the clipboard. Unfortunately I do not remember which tracks were deleted, but some of the tracks that I burned from CD's no longer appear in the "iTunes Music" folder.

    If you hold alt when deleting a song, it will delete it from the playlist and from the library.
    iTunes moves the files into the trash but iTunes does not empty the trash.

  • Party Shuffle Not Updating

    My party shuffle playlist is empty. It does not fetch new songs from my library, and pressing the shuffle button does nothing to add new songs to the list. I've got it set to 15 songs for both past and upcoming songs.
    I can play songs in party shuffle by right clicking on them in the library and selecting play next in party shuffle. Once the song is done though the music stops.
    Can someone help?

    What version of iTunes are your running? There was a glitch in 7.0.1 re: Party Shuffle. Version 7.0.2 fixed this issue.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

    It has been replaced by the Up Next feature, which works a little differently, but accomplishes the same thing.  See this guide:
