[thomas]

Must be an easier answer than that as well Thomas.....Thanks for the suggestions tho.........

Uncheck everything & just check the ones you want to play

Steve.....I really can't believe that Itunes don't have a button for this simple operation....now that YOU can't find it I'm getting worried.:eek: :eek: :eek:

[yourdj]

:agree:

select all right click and unselect.

I do this every gig before the first dance which is good.

I'm probably not making myself clear.I just want the Music to :Censored: STOP when the track has :Censored: finished...AAAGGGHHH:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Bottom left there is button that has two arrows in an oval. Click it and gray it out. It will only play one track at a time now.

Nearly Callum....It turns blue and a number 1 appears and it runs into the same track again...but the music doesn't cease!!:confused: :confused:

[Corabar Steve]

If it's turning blue you must be doing something wrong

Precisely....your only ten years behind me....


What a :Censored: palaver for a simple operation.Come on Mr Technology....give us a hand!!!:beer1: :beer1: :beer1: :beer1: :beer1:

You want to try for a slap round the other ear as well, sonny? :confused: :p :p

( Mind you, serves him right for using :Censored: itunes. Dopey pillock. )

You're right, iTunes isn't able to do what you want easily. It's yet another Apple interface blunder.

Here are some workarounds:

- Drag the song over to the playlist bar (so that you have a playlist of one song). Delete the playlist when you're done.

- Enter the song title into the search box until only the one you want is displayed (or is at least at the bottom of the list), then select and play.

- Ctrl-click the track and show song file. Put the Finder window into column mode and play it from the preview.

-or Just type the full name of the track, with the artist name into the spotlight search in the top right of iTunes...

Thanks Andy....Its not what I wanted to hear.....but it stops me from going loopy!!!


HOW ON EARTH CAN THEY MISS SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[deltic]

nothing is ever simple

[StarZSoundS]

nothing is ever simple


Andy....for instance.... I'm playing a tune on Itunes that I have recently downloaded....

I then want to switch to BPM which is the programme I use for my hard drive.I am not hanging about for the pause button on Itunes so I can stop the next one in the Library coming on....

Switching it to the side in its own playlist solves the problem(someone mentioned it earlier too...thanks) ....

But for the life of me why hasn't it come with the fasciliity to end the current track it is playing from the library...words fail me!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[mike8863]

in "music" top option, double click track to play, simple it will stop after that. Failing that, click "edit", "preferences", go to playback and untick "crossfade" songs....

You know what the next time you ask for help I will ignore it.
Yes as usual you are probably not explaining yourself very well.

I am not posting this to help myself and replying like that is not necessary.

WHOA.....steady Tiger....


The comment was said in jest and as a reflection of my frustration at not being able to do something.Yours was probably good advice.....but because I hadn't explained it very well it wasn't going to help me.....

Nonetheless....I apprecaite you trying to help:beer1: :beer1: :beer1:


I think Mike has come up with a solution as well....thanks...:beer1: :beer1:

That is what it does.

EDIT -> SELECT ALL

Right click on a song and click Uncheck

Then check the specified song by right clicking. Works for me anyway...

[Jiggles]

Nearly Callum....It turns blue and a number 1 appears and it runs into the same track again...but the music doesn't cease!!:confused: :confused:

Click it again lol. One state is play once and stop, next is play all once and the last is repeat play list.

Sorry Mike....none of the options you suggested worked either...


I googled it and it is a common problem!!

No problem.

I think you have a different version to the rest of us? Mine is mac 10.0.1

have a look at below. If the repeat button is off (bottom left - on in this picture.)
It will stop after that track if you unselect the other tracks playing (which was what I said on page one):

Thanks Toby.....However...


When all is said and done Mate....I think thats really poor of the system.A Toggle buton is required...surely most of their Customers are DJ's....Nipping from track to track on various systems.

Thanks everyone for your help by the way....


What are the other options please.....I'm :Censored: voting with my feet!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Vectis]

Tsurely most of their Customers are DJ's....

Eh?

500 million ACTIVE subscribers by 2007 ... which was a LONG time ago in the digital world ... probably more like a billion by now. Possibly a lot more :eek:

3 billion song downloads in 2009...

So they're MOSTLY DJs? :daft:

And not one of them have the option of simply buying a track.....playing it....and it :Censored: stopping when its finished without :Censored: around....doing this or that!!



LOOK....lots of great suggestions.

I use VLC Media Player for my Karaoke.....It was free...and does everything I ask of it.Including stopping when its completed the task i've given it!!

Itunes would probably have developed some DJ interface by now but it does not need to as
almost all the main software reads Itunes playlists now and presumably pay Apple a fee to do so.
Its win win for them really.

Its just a piece of playout media which is based around the store (ie ca-ching £$).

I love the fact I sort out my playlist get to a gig, load up serato itch and there it is. so handy. :)

Much easier than transfering to harddrives of SD cards, or worse CD'S. God i remember the day :(
i could not imagine having to go to HMV every week to buy all the new releases. What a pain!

its OK I wont bite your head off again. :p

i use DJAY as a back up piece of software which is excellent!

sure you know about it but just in case its the best mac has to offer for the cost vs simplicity of use. you can set playlist, auto sync, effects the lot.
