Itunes will only play one song at a time

For some reason my itunes player is playing only one song at a time. When the song ends it doesn't go on to another song. This happens no matter the setting...shuffle, playlist, etc. I am using 8.0 with OSX 10.5. I upgraded to 8.0 and have had no issues until this morning.

IMac-Intel, Mac OS X (10.5.4), Itunes 8.0

There are no stupid questions, just... Oh, never mind. LOL
Yes, all checked. Here's what happens to me:
1. Only one song plays. Then it shuts off.
2. I toggle shuffle off then immediately on, still only one song plays.
3. I toggle Shuffle off, advance or play one song, put shuffle back on, problem fixed.
4. Restart of iTunes makes problem re-appear.

I have confirmed that, at least with a Dell XPS running Windows XP Pro SP3, upgrading to version 8.0.1 re-enabled the ability to play more than one song.

Please make sure to actually restart your computer when prompted, though, because if you don't, you might encounter [this issue|http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/10/03/itunes-801-problems-syncing-the-iph one-ipod-touch>.

Apple:

Can you please add to the regression test suite that is executed before releasing an iTunes release the check for whether more than one song will play.

Thanks,
Mike
