Hi Matt, I'm not 100% certain, but I think that if you double click on a playlist so that it opens in a new window, then start the playlist, you can then switch back to the main window and do what you want. The playing of the playlist should continue. Hope this helps. -Daniel On Oct 10, 2006, at 7:15 AM, Matt Neimeyer wrote: > One of the things I'm really missing from my pre-iTunes days is a > "queue" that > isn't dependant on what's displayed on the screen. > > For example, if I start playing Album X, and move to Album Y it > won't advance to > the next song in Album X OR more commonly...
