Does switching to list view not give you that?
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

List view is the one I'm talking about. I'm missing the columns at the top.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OOh. I got it back!
Change to List view, then turn on Column Browser, then put Column Browser on top. Then it's just like before.

Sometimes I'll just filter for an artist (getting all songs from all albums) and then I'll just start playing the first song in the album I want. Except then it will play the album and then go on to the next one.
The main reason this is an issue is that Dylan only ever wants to hear one thing over and over again on endless repeat. One song on endless repeat is easy (technically, not on my ears), but repeating one album is needlessly complicated.

AHA!!!
That's greyed out on my work iTunes, but I think that might be because there's no music on this computer. (Just video.) But I'll try that at home. Thanks!

Mine too - there's a separate option to turn it on. Once that's done, it's enabled.

I'd suggest Microsoft Security Essentials, it's free and unintrusiveSeems so counter intuitive. Ha. OK, downloading now. Thanks!
As for iTunes. You can click in the search box, there is a little carat right next to the magnifier. You can change what your searching. Change to album, type in the album you want. Then make sure your columns have the track number showing, sort by that column, BAM, you can listen to that album real easy. If Dylan likes the one album at nauseum, why not make a playlist of that album? Then it's real easy to find in the left side of iTunes, as well as check box when loading to an iPod.

Because I'd have to do that for about half the music we own.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why make a playlist of the album if you can do what was described above? I've always been confused by people who take up a lot of playlist space on their iPods by groupings that the iPod does anyway.
It's somewhat different on iTunes, but you can fairly simply achieve the same ends.

Leaping to the end here to ask a business tool question.
Does anyone have a suggestion for an inexpensive virtual meeting product?
I need to organize program development for a women's organization I just joined and would rather not spend money.
I'm prepared to do it the old fashioned way with email and a conference call but thought I'd ask the hivemind for a creative solution.
Thanks for thoughts!
