Itunes temporary Playlist

Question

Itunes temporary Playlist

I often want to take a bunch of songs from different artist and listen to them (so pretty much create a playlist), but I don't want it to be a permanent playlist... I want the artist to be deleted out of it as soon as its done playing. Like a now playing, but a small list for what I want to play after that. Real Player had this when I used to use it, and I can't figure out if there's a way to do it for iTunes. Is there any script or any way to make this work for iTunes? Thanks

iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Try setting up a smart playlist. Put what you want in there, but have it set with the criteria that it only includes songs that "last played" is NOT within last 1 week--or whatever time period would work for the "temporary" time that you want. That way, as soon as a song has played, it will be taken off of the list.

Hey, thanks for the idea. However, I want to be able to choose which songs to play and what order... I guess this'll have to do though.

Once you put the songs that you want in the playlist, click the heading of the far left column (the column above the numbers). This will allow you sort and rearrange the songs any way that you want.

Create an empty playlist. Go to Party Shuffle and tell it to use that playlist. Now drag songs to Party Shuffle and start playing.

Also control-click on a song. You can see you can Play Next in Party Shuffle and Add to Party Shuffle.
