[Privacy] Keep private sessions out of recently played artists
Hey.
Could you please change the algorithm for recently played artist, so that it won't show artist I've listened to in private session?
I would like to keep my guilty pleasures private ;)
- can't see the point of having the ability to listen to things in private session if it won't stay private..
xx

oh yeah, this totally sux. I am looking for new music all the time and now I find out all my hours spent searching are pretty much being published under recent artists. I feel totally duped, as I thought private meant private. I will have to find a new way to search and listen to music. Please give us another button to hit, or make a private session truly private, artist and all. I discovered this problem today and checked in with a couple of friends to see what i was doing wrong. Turns out it's a fault in spotify now we feel ripped off.

Recently Played Artists not updating!
Alright, so there is already a thread about this, but Spotify hasn't addressed it yet, so I figure I'd start a second one. It's been about 3-4 weeks since my "Recently Played Artists" or my friends "Recently Played Artists" have updated. This is very frustating to me and others I've heard from. I'd like to see my own because there are days where I'll go through 2-3 artists' entire collection of work, then the next day do some other artists, but sometimes I like to look back and see what I had listened to (which would be in Recently Played Artists) without having to add a bunch of songs to my or a playlist. Not that that matters - for the last several weeks whenever I've followed a new playlist, it won't show up on my account page. Luckily it still shows up in the left hand bar, but I use my phone a lot and it's not as easy as it is on the computer. I also like to see what my friends are/have been listening to as well, but since I haven't seen a change in any of theirs for 3-4 weeks, unless I'm on and looking at what they are currently playing, I don't know. This brings up another issue I've been having where sometimes it will say the last person listening to music was, say, 4 hours ago... but if I close Spotify and restart it (which takes 10 seconds), then 4 people are listening to music live and I'll see in my feed that others had been listening in the time between 4 hours. My computer is always connected to wifi, and I had never had this problem before. The amalgamation of these little (but irritating) problems has really defeated the feeling of connectedness I've had since getting Spotify several months ago. Additionally, seeing what you and your friends' Recently Played/Top Played artists is what, to me, makes Spotify more enjoyable than just listening to music in my iTunes library. If you are having this problem, please click the "ME TOO" button, as this will highlight this post for Spotify to see.
Hey Rustie! So yesterday morning I sent them a breakdown of things I found/noticed. I was on a Free test account and noticed some problems with specific ads that would just completely pause the music once they were done. But I was mainly trying out the Recently Played Artists obviously, and keeping an eye on the activity feed too since I was having trouble with that. Everytime there is an an-app update, say someone adds a song to a playlist you follow, the activity feed stops refreshing until you close and restart the app. I noticed this on my account and didn't know what was causing it, but on the test account is where I pinned down in-app updates as being the source of the issue. For Recently Played Artists - no luck. I played Of Monsters and Men for two days straight (let it play while I slept too) so that there would be no question it would make it to the Recently Played. The list didn't update in the 3 days I had the account however. When I sent them the email yesterday, I was sort of disappointed. I told them exactly who I had listened to and what I had noticed with the app, and up until this email they'd been very eager to hear from me, but when I told them nothing had happened I just got a generic email about how cases like mine are being collected and that Spotify is looking at it... Well I know they're looking at it as I've been emailing them about it for the last week haha, I guess I shouldn't be expecting a full report on what they've found or what they're doing about it other than "looking" but I would've like to know if it's a bug or a programming error or something rather than just being told again that the issue is being addressed. I'm not mad at that though, I understand technical difficulties can be tough, and there are a lot of people complaining so I'm sure they really ARE working on it, but what annoyed me is that this is clearly a problem, and so they put out an update that changes the shade of green for the app icon...? Maybe I'm seeing things but it looks like the update changed the color of my mobile app icon, which is completely pointless to me and any amount of time that went towards changing the color very slightly should've have gone towards dealing with actual issues in my opinion. But I may just being seeing things. Anyway, they certainly are trying to figure this issue out so that's good to hear.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
Can you help me with that?
NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support! -
Recently Played playlist keeps organizing by artist name
Please help!? I'd really really appreciate it. I'll keep it simple.
I have a playlist called "Recently Played" (Last played in the last week). I have it set to Live Updating, so that it can update when I'm out and about with my iPhone. I set it to Limit 500 songs, and sort by Most Recently Played. I want the songs to appear in the order I last played them.
However when a song is finished playing, I go back to the "Recently Played" playlist and instead of being at the top, being the most recent track played, it's all organized A-Z by artist.
What am I doing wrong? Or is that just how it works???I set it to Limit 500 songs, and sort by Most Recently Played.
You don't sort by *Most Recently Played*.
That is simply how the playlist is selected.
Select the playlist.
Go to View -> View optons.
Tick *Last Played*.
Then click on the *Last Played* column header so the arrow at the right is pointing down. This will put the most recently played at top. -

Im trying to reset my apple id password but it keeps saying session timed out
im trying to reset my password but it keeps saying session timed out
And in case you need to know what the "time-out" error means, it means that either (1) your internet connection is not strong enough to allow your computer to load the page within the browser's time-out time-limit or (2) the server on which the website is located is too bogged down to send the necessary info to your computer within the browser's set time-out time-limit.
I just thought I would share in case the context helps solve the same problem in other scenarios.

Possibly your server is responding too slowly. In iTunes, from the 'Advanced' menu choose 'Subscribe to Podcast'. Enter your feed URL. See whether you can subscribe there, and whether there is an appreciable delay.

Multiple Plays not individually represented in Recently Played
I am having a problem with my Recently Played playlist. It overwrites if I listen to a song more than once. If I listen to a song, it puts it on there, but then if I listen to it again, it removes it from the list and places it at the top again. For instance, if I listen to an album that starts with a song called "Baby," it will show my Recently Played list as 1. Baby 2. Doll. . . etc, but if at the end of the album, I listen to Baby again, it will take it off the top of the list and put it on the bottom again. I could listen to an album of 11 songs sixty times and it will only show 11 entries in the Recently Played list. I don't want this. I want how it used to be, that if I listened to Baby twice in a session it would be at the top and the bottom of the list (or wherever it fell). If I listened to an album 20 times it would list all the songs 20 times, so I'd have 200+ entries in my Recently Played playlist. How can I do this?
I've tried going back to previous iTunes versions (I'm using 9.1.1, and have tried going back through the 9 versions and even to 7). I've tried adjusting my Recently Played preferences. Nothing works. I can't figure it out.
Why do I want it the way it was? Because that was an accurate record, this is not. Plus at the moment I'm trying to choose an order for an album and I want to have a record of each way I've listened to song placement.
Thanks in advance!All I'm asking for is help getting my iTunes to do what it did previously. This problem started sometime over the summer. I really need help with this, and I'd rather not have to go to a Genius Bar, especially because I'm on a timetable with this record.

Yes it is. It lists the most recently played tracks. If you listen to one song ten times, it will not list it ten times.
How is it accurate that if I listen to Welcome to the Jungle on Monday, Crystal Ship on Tuesday, Layla on Wednesday, Superstition on Friday, and Welcome to the Jungle on Saturday, it only lists Welcome to the Jungle once, as having been played Saturday? That's not accurate at all.
I could listen to an album of 11 songs sixty times and it will only show 11 entries in the Recently Played list.
Maybe. If it's set up to show only 11 songs, then yes.
It will show the songs based on the rules of the *Recently Played* playlist.
Select *Recently played* and right click - Edit playlist.
Mine is set up to show all song played in the last two weeks.
Mine is set up to show all songs in the last 18 months. I have listened to an album of 11 songs several times, in various orders (some songs 14 times, some 26 times) and there are only 11 items in my Recently Played list. I even made another Recently Played list to see if it was a glitch with the smart playlist, but it does the same thing. I tried making a list of "last played" to a limit of 700 songs; same result. I could listen to Shambala in August, then listen to 300 other songs, and listen to Shambala again in October, and iTunes will remove the August-dated play of Shambala and put it down as played in October, with no record of my having played it in August. -
Recently Played Playlist Problem
Hello Guy,
I don't know if anyone can help me but I can't figure out what is wrong with my iPod and iTunes. Basically, I've played songs in my ipod after i sync it with iTunes I do not see songs in the playlist. Another words, for some reason, iTunes do not get updated from iPod.
I was wondering what could be the problem, because Playlist is organized in following way:
Last Played: is After: 01/01/2005
Limit to 160GB: most recently played
Live Update
It worked before for about 6 month now and it also worked 2 days after lastest update to iTunes and iPod, however songs do not get updated, can anyone help me with a tip.
Thank you guysAll I'm asking for is help getting my iTunes to do what it did previously. This problem started sometime over the summer. I really need help with this, and I'd rather not have to go to a Genius Bar, especially because I'm on a timetable with this record.

Multiple iPods - use of Recently Played & Top 25 Played
I have a 160 G Classic and just got a Nano (8 g) for my daughter. She wants to see her top 25 played and recently played for her nano on a playlist, but iTunes only shows the data for the Classic in the top 25 played, however it shows the data for the Nano under recently played (glich?). Is this feature avaialble for the Nano? Is there a way to have these playlists in the same iTunes library for BOTH iPods at the same time using manual/selective sync? I could set up separate libraries, I printed out the instructions for that. I want to keep them under the same account though. Thanks!
+Is there a way to have these playlists in the same iTunes library for BOTH iPods at the same time using manual/selective sync?+
No...ratings and playcounts only get synced BACK into itunes if an iPod is set for auto sync.
But it sure does seem you've hit some kind of a glitch if the nano is set for manual update, yet recently played from the nano is being seen in itunes.
If your daughter wants to see only her playcounts, you can still create a library just for her, and keep one itunes store account. You can put iTS purchases on as many ipods as you desire. If you read about a limit of 5, that is for 5 PCs authorized for playback, and up to 5 different accounts per iPod.
Sounds like you are currently using method 2 (sort of) from this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
I would suggest using method 1 in your case.
I think method 3 would be too easy to forget to hold the shift key when choosing libraries, and get things messed up real quick - but that's just me. -

Every time Firefox openedStart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
