PrintI just downloaded the smooth sounds of Al B. Sure!, the In Effect Mode album, on iTunes.
And as I'm sitting here grooving, scrolling through the stuff in my playlist, it occurs to me that iTunes apparently has at various times gone all TiVo on me and stuck crap in my playlist that I never downloaded and don't particularly want.
Does iTunes always do this? Does it do this to everyone? Did I inadvertantly click on the "please stick crap I don't want onto my playlist at random" button?
Can someone explain this?

Genius...
Not you or me, the iTunes Genius tab. It looks at your playlist and pops stuff in. Annoys me also. You can turn it off on the toolbar I believe. I’ve given up on iTunes, I’m strictly Pandora these days, on my phone and on my computer.

This has never happened to me
So you are claiming you just got free music?
FOR MANLY LOVE BE HERE MARCH 25TH AT 2:15 AM SHARP
I have various pieces of free music
I don’t think I’ve listened to any of them, except by accident when I’ve had iTunes on shuffle.

That's odd
so all the sudden, randomly your itunes library has songs in it that you didn’t put there?
FOR MANLY LOVE BE HERE MARCH 25TH AT 2:15 AM SHARP
No, no
It has had songs I didn’t put in there for some time. Some have been there as long as I’ve had iTunes. Some mysterious appeared later, at various times.
by Adam J. Morris on Jan 27, 2009 9:38 PM CST up reply actions
Could they be
other songs that you had on your PC that you didn’t know about? i.e. Windows media player has a couple of sample songs and iTunes will go out and search your entire PC for any songs that it finds and will then add them to your library?
Heeeeyyyy poor! Heeeeyyyy poor! Hey poor, you don't have to be poor anymore!
Promo Card?
Sometimes if you go to a festival/showcase/concert, you get an iTunes card with a bunch of single tracks from a bunch of different bands. You put in the code and iTunes automatically puts them into the playlist. You would know it if you had done something like that, so did you?
Could be punishment for downloading Al B. Sure.
Same thing happened to me when I downloaded some Toni Tone Tony.
Believe it or not...
…I just downloaded “Feels Good” about 20 minutes ago.

If you think that’s classic, you should give ‘25 Lighters’ a listen.
It uses a sample from ‘Nite & Day’. Tight beat.
And they’re from Texas!

I honestly don't know these old school rappers
who sings this song?
FOR MANLY LOVE BE HERE MARCH 25TH AT 2:15 AM SHARP
DJ DMD, Fat Pat and Lil Keke
Li’l Keke is the backing vocal in Paul Wall’s Break ’Em Off.
Yes, I love linking songs to YouTube.

I have an iPhone.
I love it. I can’t live without it. I mean….I have an app that is a level. For construction. That’s awesome..
Only thing is…I hate iTunes. Can’t stand it. It’s maddening to use and it’s playlist software drives me insane….
Defending Big D: A Dallas Stars blog on SBN: easy to use, free to join.
Which is why
more people should shop around for smart phones before latching themselves to apple. The G1 has a level app….and you can music on there any way you damn well please…and it has a micro SD slot, which is huge nowadays.
There is no reason to shop around....
The iPhone is the best………end of discussion.

iTunes question
why the f does it break out rap albums into 20 different artist. I understand that technically Lil Wayne is different from Lil Wayne feat. T-Pain but Jeezus does it make listening to rap a bitch. The only solution I know is to go to albums and click on the album title but I RARELY know the name of an album these days.
Am I missing some obvious solution?

you could select all your would-be Lil Wayne songs
right click, and go to get info, then change the artist to just Lil Wayne. Or you can do it one at a time and add “feat. X” to the song title … that’s what I did.

If you imported songs to iTunes from your hard drive...
You probably have the sample music that Windows so graciously threw in with your PC purchase.

I actually prefer my music to run together.
The DJ at Torch in Fort Worth never faded songs together. They would just stop and then there would be 10 seconds of silence before the next started.
Nothing a jukebox couldn’t already do.

I agree, if I were DJing or listening to music of the likes
but I’m talking about a Darkness or AC/DC song that has one final scream in it overpowered by the opening riff to a RHCP song…it can get rather annoying

In your iTunes, go to 'Edit', then 'Preferences', click the 'Playback' tab and you should have a crossfade option in there. Just deselect it.

This is not nearly as bad as what I'm dealing with right now
I’m beyond frustrated. I was searching for a place to download some bootleg stuff Friday night and signed up for a free trial of something. I cancelled it within the hour (two days before the free trial ended), and the cancellation was confirmed. Yet, somehow, I have been billed nearly $60 in charges. I am in danger of overdrafts through my bank and freaking out. I have contacted the company through their customer support web site, but have heard nothing. I tried calling but you cannot get to a live person. I don’t know what to do. I can’t continue to lose that amount of money.

I assume you used a debit card
Call your bank and tell them what’s up, and tell them not to authorize any more charges.
And not to go all “dad” on you, but I would recommend only using a credit card, not a debit card, for online stuff.
