Approximating iTunes DJ in iTunes 11
A major problem with using Up Next as a DJ Shuffle replacement is that changing metadata can stop playback. I have a smart playlist for unrated songs that I listen to through the day and use keyboard shortcuts to rate as they play. If I set my unrated playlist up in Up Next and change the rating, it is moved from the playlist and iTunes doesn't finish playing the track or skip to the next track, it just stops. dead. silent. DJ used to keep on playing and the newly rated song just wouldn't come back up from that playlist.

Thanks for the warning. Having music just stop dead just because I rated the song or fixed the album name is exactly why I started using iTunes DJ. This is yet another reason not to *downgrade* to iTunes 11.

I do something similar to you. I created a smart playlist that approximates iTunes DJ, too. The key to avoid the music stopping is to turn off "Live updating" in the playlist settings. Limit the playlist to 25 items and you'll have to edit and OK every 25 songs to refresh. |
