Itunes 11 Problem!!
Hi guys,
This problem is really annoying me at the moment and need some help with figuring this out.
When I used to pick an album to listen to Itunes 10 in album cover view, I would just simply click the album and play the album however I like such as in play counts or last played etc.
But the new itunes just doesn't let me organise it and will only play the album from beginning to end by track number.
Not sure if anyone knows what im talking about but if someone needs me to elaborate further ill do so if you dont understand.
Would appreciate the help. Thanks!

I cannot stand this latest version 11 of iTunes and really regretted updating to it massively. The previous version is far superior, and I went back to it.
If you would like to do the same, all the old versions of iTunes, including the one previous to version 11, are available to download from a very reliable and trustworthy source called www.filehippo.com
Hope that is useful.
Thanks for the link I think I'll probably end up trying that.
Lovely. So is there actually a solution to the OP's problem or has that feature just been removed?
Same, most of the time i can't see the side bar to scroll down
On your i-tunes,click 'VIEW',then 'SHOW SIDEBAR'.
I happen to actually like the new itunes but I dont like the fact I cant play 1 album I like by play counts. Its really annoying me. I am not even one to complain about updates or anything but this is one feature I used all the time and now I cant use it, I am extremely disappointing with Apple.
Very useful really DO NOT LIKE the new version at all
I still havent found a fix for it.
I'll just clarify what my problem is...
Im simply trying to play an album on my new itunes 11 but want to play the album according to my play count or even by last played but won't come up on Album view.
Can someone tell me how to do this please because this used to be a regular thing for me on the old itunes and its really bothering me!!
Thanks!
From the View menu, choose Column Browser and select Show Column Browser
From the buttons marked Songs, Albums, Artists, Genres etc select Songs. A browser should appear below that with colums for Genres, Artists and Albums.
From the Albums column, select the album you want to play. Click on the Plays column and it will sort into your play count. Double-click on the first song and it will play the album in play count order.
There may be a more elegant way to do it but that way seems to do the trick.
Oh right! That looks good to me!!
Thanks for that! But unfortunately I cannot search for the album, I need to keep scrolling to find the one I want.
But I'll definitely use that tool now so thats brilliant! Thanks!
Yeah, it's a bit fiddly. Have your tried clicking in the album column and then typing the album title? It should scroll to the album as you type it.
it just crashes all the time and freezes
Had this with a new CD imported yesterday. That album had one main artist but lots of collaborations and the answer was to make sure the name in the album artist field was always the main artist even when the individual tracks were credited to different combinations of singers. But as with other "features" of iTunes it can be hard to figure out exactly what to do to get it working the way you want.
Now I eventually worked out the Albums layout is best for me and have sorted by Album Artist and then by Year, but now I have to click on the artwork to view the tracks, and if you click away to any other view, e.g. when ripping a CD, when you go back, the view has reverted back to the very top!! :mad: The Songs layout is not great cos I can't seem to sort albums chronologically, they seem to sort only by Album Title (plus in that view there is no little artwork thumbnail like there used to be in v10).
Also, if you type in an artist name now to search, it seems to only use the Album Artist field - so if I also have tracks by that same artist on compilation album where I have the Album Artist field set to Various Artists then it doesn't show these in search results. VERY frustrating.
And I miss the little box in the left corner showing the album art. I've went to the effort of correcting album art/info etc since the last itunes (bit of a control freak) and now I can't quickly preview the album images
