Snappy Zings: Feb 19, 2003; I'M TOO FUCKING STUPID TO DO A SIMPLE SEARCH OF THE FORUMS.

I've looked through Google, this whole thread, and other sites and haven't found the answer to this question.

How can I queue up a song to play next? For example, Winamp for Windows allows you to play a song on a playlist next in order, by selecting the song and hitting the 'Q' key. I use a Mac at work, so I'm wondering if there a way to do this on iTunes? I've looked and looked and can't find out how.

I'd rather not download a widget or script or anything that I'd have to install separately from iTunes--in my opinion, something like this should be ingrained in a music player/library manager.

I know I can arrange the songs in the order I want, but it doesn't work for me when I need to leave the computer but would like to set a particular amount of songs to play in the order I select. I know about the "Play Next in Party Shuffle" feature, but I don't like it and don't want to suck it up and use it. I'd rather highlight a track on a playlist, hit a button or select a command, and have that song play next in the order.

To explain better, here's a playlist:

code:

- The Killers - When You Were Young < currently playing
- Kings of Leon - Use Somebody
- Keane - Lovers are Losing
- Kanye West - Heartless
- Cold War Kids - Hang Me Up To Dry

Winamp allows me to choose which songs play in a particular order by selecting them and hitting 'Q'. So, let's say I want Cold War Kids to play after the current song, then have Kings of Leon play, followed by Keane. It should look like this:

code:

- The Killers - When You Were Young < currently playing
- Kings of Leon - Use Somebody [2]
- Keane - Lovers are Losing [3]
- Kanye West - Heartless
- Cold War Kids - Hang Me Up To Dry [1]

Anyone have a clue how to queue up songs easily in iTunes like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm the live sound engineer at a club in my town and use iTunes to play the in-house music between bands and/or during parties, etc. simply because of the library feature. Thanks in advance, SH/SC masters and slaves.
