Why is there no now playing list?

Let's say I'm making a playlist and I've added a few songs from Nirvana to it. I browse to the Foo Fighters and add a couple songs. I remember there was a song I liked from the Nirvana, but I can't remember if it's already on the list.
I then have to open the list, look, realize it's not there, then go back to Nirvana, add it, then go back to Foo Fighters. This would all be solved if I could just have a temporary playlist window. Most other MP3 player programs have this feature... why doesn't iTunes?

That's what iTunesDJ playlist is for.
You can add, delete and change song order around.
It is a "Now playing" playlist.
Double click it to open it in a new window.
Selct songs in the regular window then drag them to the iTunesDJ window or right click - Add to iTunes DJ or Play next in iTunesDJ.
Select the iTunesDJ window and you can drag songs up or down in any order or delete them from the playlist.

  • How to show now playing list on TV

    Our new Sony DM Port IPod dock plays audio and video from our IPod Classic, but the "Now Playing" list does not show on the TV. Any suggestions for settings? We have tried the TV out as "on" and "off". Is there an app?

  • Mediasource 5 Now playing list prob

    I don't know if this is the right thread but anyway.
    I have a X-fi Xtreme music.
    I installed the latest drivers and Mediasource 5. I have a serious problem with the way it works now. I had Mediasource 3.30 as my primary music player because of a specific feature. When I double-clicked any media file associated with it, it automatically added it to the now playing list WITHOUT removing the other now playing items. In Mediasource 5, every time I try to open a file, it removes all files from queue and plays that file, which is highly annoying because I have to drag and drop everything now and if I make the mistake of opening a file instead of adding it to the list, it destroys the list. Saving the list as a playlist isn't doing much better, as it removes the whole playlist from the Now playing queue when I open a file. Is there any workaround for that, a command to tweak in windows file associations or should I revert back to 3.30?

    Well, if I could do that and they actually stayed there no matter what, I'd li've with that. The problem is, even if I right click and just add them to play, when I play a file through normal means, the list disappears. What I hate is that there is no permanent way to keep the list. They could have added an option for that instead of outright dropping it. Add to that that I had to make?a desktop shortcut to access the console, since the mixer button isn't there anymore... Now it's just like the average media player ?
    Oh well, if it gets on my nerves too bad, I'll be reverting back to 3.30, whose only problem for me was that it couldn't play flac unless I dragged them in (I have Coreflac installed so playing them wasn't a problem). Thanks for the reply.

  • Is there a "currently playing" list?

    So, I'm new to iTunes. I've been importing a bunch of CDs, and things seem to be working fine.
    However, I can't seem to find anywhere a list of songs that are next to be played... I started an album playing while I was ripping it, and then went on to rip several other CDs. The original album that I started keeps playing (this is good) but I can't seem to find a way to show what's coming up next. Is there anything like a "now playing" list?

    There is a feature SOMEWHAT like that. When you are in a playlist and you select to play a song in it, then you go to other areas, playlist, library ect ect. To get back to the currently playing "list" quickly, you will hit a lil arrow to the left of the display screen where it shows the current playing song

  • When is iCloud going to fix there SPAM filters already?! Why is there not an Allow list in iCloud?!

    When is iCloud going to fix there SPAM filters already?
    ! I have received 3 consecutive emails from the same domain although I marked the first one to arrive as SPAM. Truth be told none of them should get through. Why is there not an Allow list in iCloud?!

    They say it can take up to 15 minutes for the SPAM filters to start working after you mark them as SPAM but I was receiving these at a greater than 15 minute interval.
    Don't they do an MX record check on these emails to check if they are SPAM?
    My guess is Apple has hired a 3rd party business to do SPAM scanning before the SPAM ever gets to Apple. They need to get on them.

  • Creative Mediasource - Now Playing List on star

    I have been using Mediasource for quite a while though and loving it. However, I have one question about the Now Playing List on startup on the program. Originally when i installed the program (i have done this a few times so i know this to be true), the Now Playing list from when i last closed down the player was saved and used by the player the next time i opened it up.
    Now, mediasource is stuck on a Now Playing list i created about six months ago every time i open it, no matter what is in the now playing list when i close it. This is not a huge disadvantage as i can save playlists and open them up straight after mediasource opens but it is an issue on convenience.
    I was hoping someone knew a way to set it up so the now playing list i have open is kept intact for startup on closure of mediasource. I have fiddled a bit with closing the player with different skins, with the music stopped, playing, paused and with different options enabled but to no avail.
    I do however remember having this problem and then randomly one day the now playing list i had had been stored and still continues to remain at start up till this day. Though i cannot remember anything different i was doing that day. I think mediasource is toying with me :P
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try deleting the.dat file in "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Creative\MediaSource".

  • Media player now playing list

    I have a Verizon Curve 9330.  I just got it.  I cannot find a way to view the now playing in list form or to view playlists in list form other than the default 3 at a time.  Seriously, one song at a time on now playing, how convenient, I have playlists with over 100 on them.  Do I really have to stop and sit down and scroll half an hour to find a song?  sorta takes the "mobility" out of a mobile doesn't it.  If there's no intuitive way to view a list of now playing, can I downgrade to the media player version I had in my 8330?  I never had problems with that one and it was easy to use.

    Hi
    if you have difficulties with the native media player, you can always obtain another from App World.

  • Why does iCloud creates duplicate play lists and songs

    Since activating the cloud I end up with duplicate songs on my PC.  Also my existing PC play lists (which I use for my iPod and iTouch) have been renamed with a "1" after them and the original play lists now appear to be only iCloud songs (some of my regular songs have not been uploaded to the "cloud". 
    The duplicate songs in the iTunes play list number over 1000 as I have a library of about 3500 songs - which is very time consuming to delete them especially since I have to check which play list the songs belong to before I delete the duplicates.  It would be nice if:
    a) the system did not redownload songs from the cloud that are already in my existing library and,
    b) if Apple software engineers displayed the playlist(s) for each song so one can more quickly manage the removal of duplicate songs.
    Also, during my last sign-on to the cloud it created its own playlists (that is it renamed my existing playlists by adding a 1 to the name and then in fact usurped existing playlists by setting them up with only the songs available in the cloud.  Is there any way to stop that?  Thank you, 

    For events...  on the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then restart the Mac. Hopefully that will stop the duplicates.

  • Now Playing List Patch/Hack

    Is there some way of getting a Now Playing Playlist similar to that in Windows Media Player or Real Player which doesn't involve having to manually set up a new playlist everytime.
    (ie I may be listening to an albumn, but realise I want to listen to a random track half way through and then go back to the album, in WMP I would just drag the random song in and presto it is done but I am now using an airport so have to use itunes)

    I really wish there was a solution to this as am getting so fustrated with itunes, as was used to this function in WMP. Apple please make this an addition in itunes!! And the obvious ones of making a playlist or using party suffle just don't cut it.

  • Now Playing list. bugged please help me

    So i finally converted to the x-fi wave. Point is i was all happy until i encountered the sad and super annoying playlist of the new creative media player. before i had the audigy 2zc or w/e with the old media player. but it was a lot nicer, all the features were in it and u didn't have to open different panels to access a lot of the special settings.
    Point is, now i cant keep a clean record of the music i play. every time i open a new mp3. it deletes everything. only way to actually make a play list is to drag and drop a bunch ... thats way annoying. i think this is a bug. so please help me anybody Message Edited by archangel202 on 09-20-200708:27 PM

  • In Version 7.1.1. Why is there a delay playing songs in iTunes?

    I am an older working musician. This is my 1st iPad (Ver.7.1.1) which I bought specifically to play MP3 drum tracks in my trio. I purchased NextSong and Go Button and am trying to use an AirTurn bluetooth foot pedal to trigger some of the songs. NextSong, a great little app, is basically a controller for iTunes which contains all of my MP3s (originally produced on Alesis SR16/18 machines and recorded). I also loaded all of my MP3 drum tracks separately into Go Button which is a theatrical music/cue controller. I have two issues with playback (in either program) even without using the AirTurn pedal:
    1) When the track is played there is a ramp up in volume at the beginning. It is probably around 250 milliseconds. May not sound like big problem but it is. Most of my tracks start with four drum stick clicks (imitating a live drummer) and when you can't hear the first drum click we don't start together.
    2) There is delay from the moment I hit start and when the track actually starts playing (this is even evident in iTunes itself). It isn't a consistent amount of time even on the same track played, let's say, 3 times in a row. Sometimes it's 100 milliseconds but sometimes longer even on the same track. This is critical if I'm trying to start a drum track in the middle of the song (and the reason I bought the AirTurn pedal). I had a lot of correspondence with the programmer of NextSong and it seems to him that it was a problem with this latest iPad/iTunes version.
    I've been all over Settings but can't find anything that may correct the problem. Any suggestions?

    I think there is a problem. I dont get the noises on each song even though that happened to me on a previous update but rather than being a sporadic click it was a very loud hiss over every single track...
    The latest problem with my copy is that the songs are only playing out of one speaker and its not even the centre speakers, its the left speaker.
    The last time itunes didnt work properly it took apple around a week or so to correct so im not worried at the moment but i have to use windows media player in the mean time which I dont like to use.

  • Why is there no "xpinstall.enabled" listing in my Firefox "about.config"

    I am having a problem installing an add-on for Firefox on my XP desktop: When I attempt to install Evernote Web Clipper 5.9.1, I get the error: "There was an error installing Evernote Web Clipper - Try Again".
    I investigated on the Firefox Help site and found an instruction (copied below) to look in the Firefox "about.config" file to see if the "xpinstall.enabled" listing was "true" or "false". Supposedly, if the listing is "false" it should be changed to "true" to permit installation of add-ons.
    Software installation disabled
    It is possible to disable all installation of software, including add-ons, through Firefox. To check to see if software installation has been disabled:
    In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
    The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
    In the Search textbox, enter xpinstall.enabled.
    The value of xpinstall.enabled should be set to true. If this value is currently set to false, then software installation is disabled.
    To set the value to true, right-click the property name, and select Reset.
    Try to re-install the extension.
    There is no "xpinstall.enabled" listing in my version of "about.config".
    I have:
    xpinstall.whitelist.add user set string
    xpinstall.whitelist.add.180 user set string
    xpinstall.whitelist.add.36 user set string
    The spaces for "value" on all three listings are blank (empty)
    What to do?

    In some cases, when a preference is set to its default value, it is not displayed in about:config.
    What method of installation are you using?
    * Add to Firefox button here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
    * Downloaded that file, then dragged it to an open Firefox tab
    * Trying to install from another website

  • Why are there two graphics cards listed in system information?

    I have a MacBook Pro 5,1 2.53 Ghz. I am using Photoshop which brings the machine to a standstill, or so it seems. I looked in system information and discovered that there are two different nvidia GEFORCE graphics adapters listed...one 9400 and one 9600. Is there a way to select the 9600 which shows 512 mb or video ram versus the 9400 which only shows 256 mb? I am hoping that the extra video memory will improve performance. Or is this 9600 connected only to the video output and not to the built in screen?
    Thanks for your assistance in advance!

    Thanks very much Niel!
    I guess I knew about that setting, but did not realize it actually changed the graphics card that was selected! Already seems to be better after logging back in on the MBP!
