iTunes 8 skips forward multiple songs instead one
As soon as I upgraded to iTunes 8 I immediately noticed a problem where clicking the “Next track” button when shuffle was off would skip ahead 2 or 3 songs instead of going to the next track. After consulting with a few friends that couldn’t reproduce the problem, I realized it was something specific with my setup. I started up iTunes in safemode (hold CTRL+SHIFT as you start up iTunes) to disable all plugins:
After doing this, the problem was solved! This obviously meant it was one of the plugins I had installed was the culprit, which meant it was either the plugin from iLike or Last.fm.
I first uninstall Last.fm, but that didn’t fix it, so I then uninstalled iLike. Bingo! Problem was immediately solved. To make sure it was specifically the iLike plugin, I re-installed the Last.fm plugin to double check. Yup, iTunes was working as expected still.
I’ll have to shoot a bug report over to Craig, who is now working at iLike to get them to fix this. It’s good having “connections” sometimes!
