Party Shuffle with "Display 0 Upcoming Songs" Bug?

I believe I have encountered a bug in iTunes 7, and would like to know if other poeple are having the same problem. If you select "Display 0 Upcoming Songs" in "Party Shuffle" mode, iTunes stops playing instead of choosing another song from the source playlist (after the current song finishes playing).
Previous versions of iTunes did not behave this way.
Can anyone confirm this, or is it a problem specific to my own Mac?
Thanks.

Why? Drag it to the top of the Party shuffle list.
That's why it's called a party shuffle. You can
add/delete/rearrange very easily.
iTunes 6:
you suddenly get an urge to hear a specific song next
switch to iTunes, which is always kept in the Library view
Find artist and song
Drag to Party Shuffle
No need to leave the Library view, the song you wanted plays next, and then random tunes play after that's done.
iTunes 7:
you suddenly get an urge to hear a specific song next
switch to iTunes, which is always kept in the Library view
Find artist and song
Drag to Party Shuffle
Now click on Party Shuffle
Drag the song up 5 places
Click back to the Library
3 extra steps requiring some accurate mousing. Or, ctrl-click the song, select Play Next in Party Shuffle, which is two extra steps. Like I said, not the end of the world, but very annoying.
And I believe it's a bug, since having it set to 5 songs or more, and the tunes will continue playing, but with 0 it stops. It's inconsistent.
If that was their intended behavior, then they should enable the "replay" icon in the bottom left to toggle how it behaves after reaching the end. As it is now, it's greyed out.
Of course, the perfect solution for me would be to have a shortcut key combo that automatically adds any selected tunes to the party shuffle, as if you had right-clicked and selected Play Next. I hate drag-dropping when I don't have to.

    Do not fear, I have the same issue. It only continues to play if songs are displayed before playing.
    I am couting the hours until a patch for this comes out. I rely heavily on party shuffle to get through the day.

  • Party Shuffle with Shared Music

    I saw this question posted a few times (all of which are archived and do not allow posting of replies). Does anyone have any good info as to why Party Shuffle can't pull from a shared music library? The only real "workaround" is to play the library and select the "Shuffle" button, but you obviously don't have control over what songs get played next.
    I would really like to see this available. Is it in the works or should I just not expect it at all.

    Doesn't look like anyone else cares... Oh well...

  • I want party shuffle with my ipod!!

    Hi guys, sorry, I was looking for the right place to comment this but just find this place. So I hope you coul tell me where could I (and many more customers) make a request to add party shuffle on iTunes for the ipod.
    I was reading around it is diffucult for I don't really care what reason but I am positive it is posible to add such a feature.
    So, making right use of this place: why is that no iPod can be used with the party shuffle? can be added on future iTunes revsions? where can I suggest that option with real chances to be heared?
    and, what do you think about this?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    The best place to make suggestions about Apple products is here (link).
    There is a Party Shuffle mode in iTunes 7 and a Shuffle mode on the iPod so I'm not sure what you'd actually be asking for.

  • Party Shuffle with shared library

    Is there anyway to use Party Shuffle on a remote computer with a shared library as the source? I have all my music on my G5 but my laptop is what I use during parties.

    It's been that way ever since Party Shuffle appeared in iTunes.
    One way I used to do it when I had my music library on a desktop computer and I was using a PowerBook was to use remote desktop software like VNC to control the remote computer.
    Or if you quit out of iTunes on the remote computer and use file sharing to mount the remote file system you could hold the Option key down on your local computer and then select the library on the shared volume. I haven't tried this but I think it may work. Changing libraries was something introduced in the latest version of iTunes, although I don't think this was what they had in mind when introduced it.

  • Problem with Displaying Artists/Albums/Songs on iPhone 4S

    I purchased the 64GB iPhone 4S and went to load all of my music library onto it (a little over 30GB worth).  I believe all the songs are on the phone but I'm having a problem.  Not all of them are listed.  It's especially noticiable in the artists and albums section.  In both of those sections, while each list is in alphabetical order, the artists/albums start to get listed in the wrong part of the alphebet.  For example, in the Album section, while it ends with the 123's, the albums listed there start with R, which is where the albums end.  The same goes for the artists.  So, currently, I can't look for "Who's Next?" by the Who via either of those routes.  The problem with the songs is a little different.  While I believe all the songs are there, while they start out in alphabetical order, they soon start to become jumbled.  It seems it's trying to keep them in order; but it can't.  For example, songs beginning with 'L' start during the letter 'J' category.  Does anyone know what I can do to get all the albums and artists to list on my phone and how I can get the songs to display in alpahbetical order?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • HT5100 Sync iPod (Shuffle) with newly installed iTunes; songs deleted? :(

    My music from my ipod (shuffle) is not on my ipod anymore after my newly installed itunes on my PC asked me to sync my ipod music, where did it go? My itunes library did not have any songs which is why I thought the songs wouldn't be replaced. I need help ...

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party progtam like one of those discussed here
    Copy music
    - WHen everything is on your computr connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

  • Song Played Twice in Party Shuffle

    I have a smart playlist set as the source in my Party Shuffle with a rule to only allows songs that haven't played in the last week. However, sometimes the same song appears in Party Shuffle twice, since it still hasn't played recently while it's only in the queue to play. However, after the first instance plays, the second instance is still queued, even though it no longer matches the rules in my smart playlist. How can I submit this to Apple as a bug report/wishlist item for the next update of iTunes?

    What happens if you tell Party Shuffle to display 0 upcoming songs?

  • Party Shuffle keeps repeating songs

    So I decided to try Party Shuffle for a party (I'd never bothered with it before) due to the feature that allows you to rate songs and hence feature those before others. However Party shuffle keeps throwing the same songs on the list (I've got 15 hours chosen for this party so there should be no need to repeat anything). And in some cases it repeats the same song back to back. I'll probably still use it and just keep shuffling 100 upcoming songs until I'm happy with what I have and then enjoy myself at my party but it's a pain that I have to babysit it. I sent feedback to Itunes about adding a "no repeats" option but I was wondering if there's something I'm overlooking. I guess the other option would be to see what songs I didn't rate and delete them since they didn't merit rating at all.

    Nevermind I got it sorted. All of my songs in the "Recently Added List" where unchecked, so from that perspective it looked like I had no songs. Now what the check mark means is a whole other question...but I'm happy

  • What exactly are Upcoming Songs & how does iTunes determine them?

    I've never really bothered with Party Shuffle before but it always bugged me when it gave the message about Upcoming Songs. I mean, what is an upcoming song? How does iTunes decide it's upcoming?
    Regards,
    spriter

    Upcoming Songs are tracks in Party Shuffle that have not yet been played. You can set how many upcoming songs are visible, but this setting does not determine how many upcoming songs there are.
    Party Shuffle is like selecting Shuffle for the Library or any playlist except that you can alter the results. You can add or delete tracks and you can manually reorder the upcoming tracks in Party Shuffle. You can also tell Party Shuffle to play higher rated songs more often.
    Regular shuffle stops once every track in the playlist has been played, but Party Shuffle will continue playing, adding repeat tracks when needed.

  • Party Shuffle will not operate

    I deleted all the songs in Party Shuffle, and now, the feature will no longer operate. Right now, Party Shuffle lists only one song from one playlist, and when I choose other sources from the source selection list located below the track listing window in an effort to get Party Shuffle to accept other songs, it consistently informs me "The playlist '[chosen source]' does not contain any songs playable by Party Shuffle. Are you sure you want to choose this playlist?" I receive this message regardless of which source I choose, whether it be my music library or one of my playlists, including the playlist containing the one track now listed. Answering "Cancel" or "Okay" to that dialog box only affects whether or not the chosen source is listed as the selected source. ("Cancel" leaves the source listed as it is, while "Okay" changes the source listed to the selected source, though without affecting the listing of the tracks, er, track.)
    Changing the number of recently displayed or upcoming songs does nothing, nor does clicking the Shuffle button in the bottom right corner below the track listing window. As suggested in a similar post, I have selected and deselected the Crossfade Playback option in Preferences > Playback, and I have also selected and deselected the Party Shuffle option in Preferences > General, both to no avail. I have also quit and restarted iTunes, but that had no affect. Any ideas or suggestions? Is it possible somehow to reset Party Shuffle? And if I ultimately do have to perform a re-install of iTunes 7.0.2 to solve this problem, how can I do so without losing or adversely affecting my library or playlists? Thanks for any assistance.

    Never mind. I solved the problem when, just for the heck of it, I decided to select (by checkmark, not highlight) all of the tracks in my music library to see if that would make a difference. Yep, it made a big difference. In fact, it made all the difference. Apparently, tracks must be checked to be available for Party Shuffle, but you'd never know that from the "Creating a custom mix using Party Shuffle" entry in iTunes Help. There's no mention of that critical step at all. So that solves the mystery as to why I continued to receive that dialog box telling me that my source selection did not contain any songs playable by Party Shuffle. Yeah, no kidding: 'Cause I hadn't selected any tracks in the first place! Thanks a lot, whoever wrote that incomplete iTunes Help entry on how to use Party Shuffle. What a waste of time, frustration, and anxiety, all because of some poorly written documentation... sigh

  • Party Shuffle only playing 1 tune

    Just upgraded to 7.0.1 & am trying to play songs with Party Shuffle. It will now play 1 song & then stop, even though i have a playlist of 1000 songs selected as the source. Anybody else noticing this?

    Just tested it. No problem. Then I checked 'Crossfade Playback:' in the preferences. After playing the first song, iTunes stopped playing.
    Party Shuffle will advance to the next song only if Crossfade Playback is turned off.
    I didn't notice this in iTunes 7.0, but I've never turned crossfade on.
    Did Party shuffle advance to the next song in iTunes 7.0 with crossfade checked?
    If so, it looks like a bug in iTunes 7.01, which you might report using this page:

  • ITunes Party Shuffle feature not responding

    The Party Shuffle feature in iTunes will not respond to any changes I try to make. I tried reinstalling iTunes which did not work. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  • Party Shuffle is not random

    I have Itunes for Mac Version 7.4.2 (4). Party Shuffle has stopped randomizing the songs and I get whole albums instead of random songs. I have preferences set to randomize songs and have slid the slider to "less Likely".
    Actually, Party Shuffle has stopped responding altogether and changing the source and Refresh does nothing.
    It was working fine. This just started happening. HELP!
    Gitbo

    I am having the same exact problem and i have tried all of the above recommendations but everytime i try to refresh the shuffle list it goes back to the same two albums. The albums are the ones that i just recently added, a few days ago, it plays the same two albums over and over again and it just randomly started doing it, I looked at teh list one minute and it was fine the next minute it was just those two albums and i cannot figure it out. When i try to shuffle songs from the library, the same thing happens, it just plays those two albums.

  • Starting up Party Shuffle??

    Is there any way to start up my Party Shuffle with automator?? I dont want to have to wake up to the same tune every morning .. Right now, i have it so a smart playlist starts up, cuz "party shuffle" doesnt even show up in the options for automator.

    I was unable to figure out a way to subscribe or bookmark this without replying to it. So I'm replying to it, without really having anything to say.
    Well, I guess I could add this. I live in a tiny town in Montana that has little in the way of real actual radio. I need to brush up these facts but, as far as I know the FCC allows for micropowered radio stations without all of the huge costs and red tape for normal radio stations. I plan to set up a radio station here using a Mac to play the music. I already have the transmitter and other gear bookmarked. I was wanting to do something quite similar as the original poster. This info is quite useful. Thanks!
