Play 60 seconds of 60 random iTunes songs.

Overview

Tired of sitting around, watching the clock during your power hour? This is a simple little application that will orchestrate a power hour based on any itunes playlist. The program will take 60 seconds of 60 songs and play them consecutively or randomly, while letting the user know at any moment the status of his or her hour of power.

Does what it's supposed to do. A couple of things that could improve it: Full Screen Mode that I can output to a second monitor (TV) Changable colors, fonts, and maybe even custom text. Other than that, a solid app.

Version 1.0

I like it, but I have seen other versions where you can play a sound clip in between the tracks for those who aren't totally paying attention to the music. If this isn't a tough addition, it might be cool to see on the next version.

Version 1.0

Good Idea. Needs Full Screen Mode & some more colors. Also, how about Century Club (100 Shots) for the more experienced drinkers. Keep up the good work. -Thanks

Version 1.0

. You have very little control over the app, and changing the one of the two options does nothing.

Okay there's one option, and it's a choice between two things. What seems to be the problem?

The "play from beginning" and "play random selection" options refer to the part of the song that is played, not the order of playing through the playlist. You set the "random" option in iTunes to adjust the play order/

Should be included with college admission packets. Works great, simple to use, nice clean looking interface. Can't wait to see what new features the next version may bring.

Version 1.0

. I wanted to like this. And from the write up to the simple interface I thought it would be an easy piece of software to like...if only it did what it was supposed to. I plats random sounds bites...why? Who wants that. Secondly, even if you tell it play from the beginning...it doesn't. And the software is only random if you have chosen your entire library in iTunes already. This is a good idea, but it's not ready for public consumption. Stick it back in the oven and let it cook a little while longer.

I am sorry you've had such trouble with the software... Random is set by pressing the random button for the iTunes playlist you are on (in itunes). I don't understand what your issue with the "Play From Beginning" option is. It works fine for everyone else. If you e-mail a further description of the problem, maybe I could help.

nice app. - but random is not working. start at the beginning and than next, next,.... crossfading will be nice.

Version 1.0

Sweet. One of those things I never knew I needed. Only thing missing is a bit of customization. One thing in particular that might be nice is the ability to choose which playlist/artist the random songs are chosen from. Keep up the good work!

On second thought, it is nice to fix the song selection myself in iTunes before the hour begins, and not later, when my musical tastes might be impaired...

Skipping around in iTunes during the Power Hour is a-ok. It will still change the song for you on the next interval. To ch0ose the artist or playlist you want, all you really need to do is choose it in iTunes. Cheers.

Oh and one more thing: If you turn random off in iTunes, the program will go through sequentially.
