iTunes song linking(?)

by rbplease - 9/18/10 4:25 PM

Some songs (particularly performed in-concert), naturally lead into or introduce a second song. Is there any way to set an iTunes song file so that playing it to the end triggers a second song file to play, so that you can get the proper sequence when using Shuffle mode?

Shuffle mode,

is just that.
A random (kinda) choice of tracks that get played one after the other.

The only way that I know of to do what you are asking is to create a play list and put the tracks in the correct order

A responder from another forum I posted this to suggested using an audio editor like Garage Band. Sure enough -- GB does it quite nicely: You drag and drop the files from the Finder into a GB track, get them in the right order and without any gaps, and then export the "project" back to iTunes. You end up with a compilation of multiple songs.

The answer to your question is still No,

you cannot do what you want in iTunes.

The workaround is to create a large file in another program, GarageBand, and then play that large file in iTunes.
