When I un-check the boxes on my playlist songs I don't want to play they still play in playback

Thank you for your reply, it may help for me to explain how I use iTunes.

I am an entertainer and I use ITunes to create playlists from my library of song tracks I intend to use in a live stage situation, this had always worked fine whereby if during a performance I needed to skip tracks to suite the mood, all I had to do was to un-tick the box next to the song(s) I wanted to skip and move to the next required track.

As you will appreciate, this was a very slick and not too obvious procedure to carry out but since the un-ticking of the songs I wanted to skip has stopped working I now need to wait for the current playing track to finish and at this point I have to quickly select the next required track to play which is not an easy task in a low lighting environment.

I have tried using the 'play next' option which actually works but after this track plays, iTunes decides to jump back to the original playlist order and starts to play the tracks I needed to skip which is a complete nightmare.

I am convinced this is a bug that has developed within the many updates that iTunes put out and I now wish that I had kept to the version that worked ok.

I understand that it is possible to re-install a previous version but that involves exporting/importing playlists and the music library etc so I guess I'll have to soldier on and wait to see if a future update fixes the problem.

Such a shame as iTunes is extensively used in the entertainment world is probably all in allthe best program out there.
