The minor skip of the currently playing song is a little annoying, but worth it for this added functionality. Now, I assume I can assign a hotkey to this script somehow? I'll see if I can figure it out, I don't think it is hard.<BR/><BR/>For those looking for the script, if you are on a Mac, you past the following into the ScriptEditor program and then save it into your Library > iTunes > Scripts folder (you many have to create the "scripts" folder if you don't already have one. <BR/><BR/>tell application "iTunes"<BR/> set currentSource to container of view of front browser window<BR/> if not (exists playlist " Queue" of currentSource) then<BR/> set queuePlaylist to (make new user playlist ¬<BR/> with properties {name:" Queue", shuffle:false} at currentSource)<BR/> else<BR/> set queuePlaylist to playlist " Queue" of currentSource<BR/> end if<BR/> set curtrack to {}<BR/> if player state is not stopped then<BR/> if current playlist is not queuePlaylist then<BR/> delete tracks of queuePlaylist<BR/> set curtrack to (duplicate current track to queuePlaylist)<BR/> end if<BR/> else<BR/> delete tracks of queuePlaylist<BR/> end if<BR/> if selection is not {} then<BR/> set sel to a reference to selection<BR/> duplicate sel to queuePlaylist<BR/> end if<BR/> if curtrack is not {} then<BR/> set playPosition to player position<BR/> set curState to player state<BR/> play curtrack<BR/> set player position to playPosition<BR/> if curState is paused then pause<BR/> else if tracks of queuePlaylist is not {} and (player state is stopped or current playlist is not queuePlaylist) then<BR/> play first track of queuePlaylist<BR/> end if<BR/>end telljherskowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797190582674008000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-31857445538974881892007-08-18T02:47:00.000-05:002007-08-18T02:47:00.000-05:00j - sorry, I forgot to mention there are two scrip...j - <BR/>sorry, I forgot to mention there are two scripts there. The one that worked for me was the latter, posted by "jediknil". <BR/>Save it from the script editor to ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts (create that directory if you don't have it). Next time you start iTunes the script will be accessible from the little script icon on the menu bar (next to Help).christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957133516328135433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-71676197938556578132007-08-17T19:50:00.000-05:002007-08-17T19:50:00.000-05:00I think this is the same thing as above:http://mac...I think this is the same thing as above:<BR/><BR/>http://macslash.org/comments.pl?sid=4473&cid=71759<BR/><BR/>(swinter = shawnb)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097878173622170668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-1288586306932946082007-08-17T19:47:00.000-05:002007-08-17T19:47:00.000-05:00I found this blurb out on the internets, though I'...I found this blurb out on the internets, though I'm not sure if it's what you're wanting, or if you've already decided against this option:<BR/><BR/>"Why not assign an empty playlist to party shuffle? Then iTunes will never shuffle in anything. I can queue up music to my hearts content knowing that iTunes will purge the played songs out.

As I think of them I want to dump them all into the queue and then be able to rearrange their order on any whim. Basically, I want it to work just like Winamp. But to no avail....<BR/><BR/>I did find an AppleScript that will let me do a single shot "play this song" next, but it won't let me stack more than one behind that.jherskowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797190582674008000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-51829289728861609082007-08-17T10:25:00.000-05:002007-08-17T10:25:00.000-05:00Have you tried Party Shuffle?
