Stop Playback After Current Track

I hate to stop the music in the middle of a track, so i would love some way to make Spotify stop playback after the current track.
Right now I can simulate the desired behaviour by right-clicking an empty playlist, (that i have created for this purpose only) and selecting "Choose as Current Playlist" and making sure that the play queue is empty. While this is a nice workaround, I think that it would make sense to include a real "Stop Playback After Current Track"-function in Spotify.
Update (2015-02-01):
The previously suggested workaround doesn't even work any more as Rapti has pointed out in a comment. At one point it could even make Spotify crash completely.
I would like to point out that a saner, more flexible queuing system could allow even finer control over when to stop playing. Thus people who like this idea might also like:
Make entire play queue editable (I have added my own comment to that idea about how Google Play Music seems to work)

I've also wanted this feature for a long time, and I made a little userscript to do this using the Spotify Play Button. I wrote a blog post about it in Norwegian a couple of minutes ago. Here it is, run through Google Translate. A couple of the translations are a litle corny and weird, but I think you'll get the point, though. However, if you're fluent in Norwegian or JavaScript, these two links might help you clear things up a bit: Blog post in Norwegian, Spotify Break After at userscripts.org. Thank you for your time. :)

Smart Playlists Stop Playing After Each Track

After updating iTunes to version 10.0.1.22 my smart playlists stop playing after each track. All songs or Podcasts in my smart playlists are checked so they should be playing consecutively but they're not.
Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure the little boxes to the left of the song names are checked. If you need to check all the songs in a single view at once, hold the CTRL key and check any one of the boxes.

How can I stop play after current song unattended?

I want to be able to tell iTunes to stop after the current song ends. Is there a way to do this?
Using a playlist, it will play through the list and stop, I realize. But I would like to tell it to finish this song and stop, regardless of where in any list it might be.
Tx.

Hi,
As other suggested, there is no SAP standard Tcode or program to control it.
But you can always develop a ABAP Prog with the below logic, I am sure that you will be able to achieve your target.
1) Develop a ABAP Z prog with such a logic that this program should look into the table TBTCO for the job details which you want to cancelled and if found your job status Active, this should kill that job.
2) Now schedule this program as a BG job starting at 6:45 AM in the system with daily frequency.
With this program, You should get your target.

Why does my playhead return to the initial position when pausing/stopping playback after playing from beginning?

How do I prevent the playhead from returning to it's original position after pausing or stopping with the spacebar or k button? With either the skimmer on or off, whenever I pause or stop the **** playhead will always return to the position it was last at. I don't understand why neither of the shortcuts would just stop the playhead at the point that is being played at. This may seem like an extremely edgy way to go about editing, but I might actually wish to pause the playhead at any given moment and position my playhead nearby said moment before creating an edit point (without having to add a marker and return to it with the blade tool, or take note of the specific duration and use the duration control to go to that specific point or any other unnecessary steps when doing a rough cut). I simply would like the playhead to pause/stop at the moment I press either keyboard shortcut. After the many attempts at trying to make FCP X work for me and the many "workarounds" by FCPX enthusiasts, it's disheartening to know that most other editors in my circle who make a living doing paid commercial work are wondering why I've decided to take a break from using CS6 (and it's integration with the industry-standard AE) to give FCP X a shot, all to make very simple tasks like the one aforementioned a mystery... any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your response Luis and for your previous help (regarding multiple selections being added to the timeline in reverse order when working in list view in the event browser).
Yes i've trashed my preferences, but I should be more specific as to what I am actually doing. Because I am working from my macbook pro and do not have a "home button" which was the original shortcut to "play from/go to beginning" and because I did not like the replacement shortcut in FCP X to play from beginning (without a home button it was something like Function + Shift something else on a laptop) I became used to Adobe Premiere CS6 and made the return key my "play from beginning" shortcut. It was available and did not have a use by itself (only to confirm changes/choices), did not effect it's use in conjunction with other shorctus so I choose enter as my "play from/go to beginning"...
So when I play from the beginning and attempt to pause or stop the playhead, regardless of how I choose to do it (spacebar or k) it does not stop at that specific instance and always returns to where it previously was. This seems very confusing and inconvenient, I would hope at least one of these shortcuts would actually stop the playhead where it was at that moment where I press stop or pause. It's extremely frustrating knowing that I cannot pause the playhead where it's playing if I choose my "play from beginning" shortcut.
Also since you seem to be a guru and an expert, i'd like to know if you cut with FCPX on a laptop and what shortcut you use whenever you'd like the playhead to go to the beginning of the timeline, end, etc since there are no "home" or "end" buttons on a laptop....
Thanks a million, talk soon...

Stop playback after one song

I have a bunch of 4G ipod shuffles that I will use in an exhibition.
I want a user to be able to click play, have the song play and then stop.
I haven't been able to find an answer to this question.
The actual behavior is that whether playing tracks in order or in shuffle, it continues to play and to loop endlessly.
I have tried unchecking the "include this track in shuffle" option in the track settings.
I have tried choosing a different media type (audiobook, podcast, etc)
I have tried unchecking the song in the playlist
Because there is no way to keep the shuffles charging and playing at the same time (becase of the dual USB and audio port), I need to be sure they do not remain ON and endlessly looping until the batteries drain.

Same problem--incredibly annoying. Thanks for the tip on select-all, although that starts playing with the first song. ;-( I didn't realize it was all smart playlists, only shuffled, or that even a manual 'next' click stopped it--so the bug's much worse than I thought (and I was already very annoyed; I thought it was something more specific to my type of smart playlist).
Smart playlists are near-useless to me in iTunes since I only ever play them shuffled!

[Solved] Amarok stops playback after switching audio streams

Well, I'm posting this here so if anyone else has this bug, and search the forums, they will find the answer, since I didn't find the answer in the wiki (atleast not the one for archlinux).
This is on a new install of Archlinux, running kde4.3 but only the kdebase section, not a full kde install. Amarok version for this bug was 2.1.1.
When I played a stream (any in their 'cool streams' list, it would play, then i would pick a different stream, it would look like it's playing, and the OSD would list the new stream and any song changes on the stream would list on the OSD, but no sound output.
Well, to fix.. install the xine backend (pacman -Sy phono-xine). It changed the backend from gstreamer to xine automatically for my system after reboot, and I had no more problems (atleast none i've found yet...)
Hopefully coming soon, i'll post a good working asound.rc for people with an Audigy SE (ca0106) to upmix 2 channel to 5.1, pass real 5.1 through, and allow multiple sources to play simultaneously... if someone has one out there, let me know , cause this seemingly easy task is proving hard to do.

OMG Please help me - my itunes stops playing after 2 tracks

Someone please help me.....I have recently been downloading a couple of albums from the internet and drop and dragging them into my itunes. I have done this about 3 times succesfully and itunes plays these no problem. Since last week, I have been trying to play my itunes, then all of a sudden, the sounds stops. The play bar at the top keeps going, but for some reason, the whole of the sound stops. Nothing out of my speakers. This happens every time! I have unistalled itunes and reinstalled it to the new version (I think I was on version 7.0.1 in any case) I have defraged, disk cleaned, reinstalled my itunes library manually....OMG everything I have done! I have tried to install an older version (to the one I was on already) and it still happpens. I have no idea what the **** to do - I have never had this problem before. I did a virus scan only the other day and I did have viruses on my pc, but they have been removed. On the version of itunes I have at the moment, it won't even recognise my ipod (2nd gen 4gb Nano) Please help me!!! I can't even find a bloomin number for apple either and I am going to throw myself and the pc and itunes out of the window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stuck notes after stopping playback

Hello,
I'm having a problem whereby after stopping playback, the currently playing notes are stuck (sustain indefinitely). I find notes always stick, whether hitting the space bar or clicking the stop icon.
- I'm using Logic 9.0.2 with default settings on Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
- My audio interface is an Edirol FA-101.
- My controller is a Yamaha Motif via the Yamaha USB MIDI driver 1.2.
I thought perhaps it was the MIDI driver (not officially supported on Snow Leopard), so I uninstalled it and switched to my Edirol UM-880, with new 1.0 Snow Leopard driver.
Now I get the same problem with the space bar, but the stop icon works most of the time, but not always!
What is going on?!

Hi Andrew
In Logic try going to "Preferences": "Midi": "Reset Messages": and tick the first box "Control 123 (All Notes Off)". That should stop the notes hanging every time you hit stop. I have the same problem with a Motif XS Rack. I find that also ticking the bottom option "Send Used Instrument Settings on Reset" helps keep Logic playing the correct sound on the Motif (assuming you are using Midi Patch/Bank messages to select individual sounds. Hope this helps.

Ipod stops after each track ends in a playlist?

I have a problem: Suddenly, my ipod stops after each track ends in a playlist. This happens with every playlist and every track, all of which worked fine until this week. All tracks' settings are "yes" on 1) part of a compilation; 2) remember playback position and; 3) skip when shuffling. I have not updated any software or added any new content to my ipod. I imagine that some setting has been switched on or off, but I am unable to identify which one. Please help as these are my audio books! Thanks!

If you've heard of Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd then it's used there when you want no break between tracks. Or any DJ mixed continuos play CD. Or some classical music. Take your pick

My distributed form has stopped working after Acrobat did an update the form no longer appears in my tracker.

I had a form that auto collected data through Adobe but it has stopped working after my Acrobat X Pro did an update.
The form no longer appears in the tracker. How can this be fixed? I am using Windows 7.
It would appear that since Adobe are going to be closing the Workspace area in January 2015 that when
Acrobat did an update the ability to connect to files in the Workspace has been removed.
Is there any way to reconnect the file back to the Tracker?
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Adobe don't seem interested in helping as this question has been posted for three days and yet no response.

First and foremost thing you can do it is that reset your Firefox and after that change it to safe mode.This may be happening due to venerable links getting downloaded.
enjoy free web..... :)

Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?

sonjadg,
you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine.

My audio stops outputting after a few songs in a playlist - itunes says its still playing, stopping and starting track recommences audio output. Mac book Pro Lion 16gb ram. Can be any song, any time, same song will play if I select it again. Bit of a bummer itunes is the main thing I use (macbook pro jukebox).

Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
Best of luck

Stopping a recording after each track

I have an odd request...Is there any way to stop a recording after each track? Such that there are three tracks on a recording, after each track I would like the CD to stop. After it has stopped, I would like to be able to push play and move to the next track. That is, I put the CD in the player, push play, the CD plays track 1, and then stops; I push play again, and the CD begins playing track 2, and so on. I have Logic Pro and iTunes, which I have used to create the tracks and compile onto a CD. Using these can I create a CD with these parameters? Any advice would be helpful, and thanks in advance for your time.

I've imported some midi tracks, used the mixer to set pan, volume etc, but when I stop playback and restart it sets every midi track back to '0'. I've been using LE for years, this is a new one, any ideas?

Hi,
that's because Logic reads the volume information out of the imported MIDI tracks and sets the volume fader according to this information. The MIDI information overrides volume settings you have done, so you have to identify the MIDI events that contain volume (or expression or pan or whatever) information and delete them. You can use the event list editor for this.

Track stops recording after about an hour

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to record from some old tapes in order to create mp3s. The track stops recording after about one hour. The Tape is over one hour long. I read about a similiar problem in the forum and tried dragging the purple timeline marker to the right but it won't move any further. What is this called and what does it do? I also read about changing the sampling rate, but I cannot find where to do this. Where do I find documentation on this?
Many Thanks for any suggestions.
Regards,
Bill

Garageband 3 doesn't record more than 1999 beats (GB2: 999). Since in your case the beats don´t matter, you can lower the tempo to the minimum (40 bpm) to get a maximum recording time of 3:18:48.
As for the sample rate: You can't change the export sample rate of GB, it's always 16 bit, 44.1 kbit/s (internally GB works with a higher resolution).
