iTunes plays one song.
The play-1-song bug. MacFixit was one of the first sites to report this bug. In iTunes, with either a smart playlist or a regular playlist, with the "randomizer" selected, iTunes plays one song. If I decide to skip the current song, I get nothing.
Nice debugging, Apple.

Never had it happen.
More information please.
On the night you left I came over And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit And we left our love in our summer skin

OS 10.4.11 with all security updates, iTunes 8, QT 7.5.5
Most of the time, I start with some song. If I decide to skip ahead to the next song, iTunes stops in its tracks.

Re: iTunes plays one song.
Sounds kind of like the behavior when no songs are checked. If you make no tracks selected in a playlist and hit play, does nothing play? What happens if you "recheck" all songs by holding command and clicking one of the checkboxes twice?

Re: iTunes plays one song.
It also sounds like something I ran into once. It would play one, then quit playing. I could get it to play any one song I wanted, but it would shut up after that one finished.
Turns out I'd inadvertantly set the "Don't play when shuffling" feature to on for all the songs in the playlist, and I was trying to shuffle.
That was pretty easy to fix in the end.
I dont say that there is no God. I'm not an atheist because I find atheism to be a mirror of the certainty of religion and I don't like certainty about the next world because we can't know. What I say, what I say is "I don't know."
