If I turned it off in prefs, I can't find where to turn it back on.

What I had done yesterday was to create a smart playlist and, assuming shuffle was turned on (the only button, outside of the playlist dialogue, said "Don't Shuffle" so I assumed that shuffle was turned on.

What should I change in a one line smart playlist that just says "genre contains jazz" to make it shuffle as I cannot find the party shuffle item anywhere in prefs or elsewhere.

no, They are not the same thing unfortunately and it looks like it's been removed from preferences. you can try creating a smart play list and applying all as the filter and then choosing shuffle for it. dj and party shuffle are two different things. you probably turned it off in prefs.

Dave -- This link worked nicely but now I cannot figure out how to get the Party Shuffle item to show up in my Sources table. I went to the preferences dialogue and, under General, found a whole list of items I could turn on or off, iTunes DJ was probably the closest name to the Party Shuffle feature and I had had it turned off.

are  DJ and Party the same thing?

BTW: I do work on lots of things that do not have anything to do with iTunes but when looking at accessible multi-media systems, Apple seems well out front of the others so I study it.

Hi,

Now before you send me off to the FAQ list, keep in mind that my problem is about shuffling songs in a playlist on the desktop version of iTunes and Apple has a product called shuffle so, no matter how many ways I tried to find an answer to my question, I found more and more stuff about the cute new device.

My jazz collection is really big. In iTunes, it suggests that all of it would take more than 4 days of non-stop play to get through it. I created a monstrous playlist that holds all of it so I could just turn it on and via my Airport Express, listen to it on my home stereo.

Unfortunately, I cannot get the playlist to shuffle, sometimes it seems to jump forward by a few songs but it always moves in the same direction. Thus, my large Armstrong collection will have a bunch of songs played before it moves onto something that might start with a "b" where it will find a bunch of different people named Bill and it will play a bunch of them which leads us to Duke which, even skipping some songs, could easily be 8 hours of music.

So, what does one do to make his playlists shuffle? Also, how does one search Apple help for "shuffle" without getting buried in articles about the cute little device.
