iTunes/iPhone Stupidity
My Mac has 17.5 GB of audio files and 140.8 GB of video files in iTunes. Now, that's a lot more than my 16GB iPhone can hold, in case you couldn't do the math. iTunes allows me to select what movies I want to sync as well as which TV shows to sync. I wish I had a little bit more control of the TV shows thing, but I can live with that.
My complaint here is that not all of my audio files fit on my phone. I'm using the "Sync only checked song and videos" option for my phone which means I have a large selection of my music library unchecked. I check the songs I want on my iPhone and uncheck the ones that I'll just listen to on my computer. Which brings me to my problem.
When I'm just hanging out around the house, I put on some music and let it play through. iTunes decided that since I don't have songs checked, I never want to hear them. Well, I do. I just don't have room for them on my iPhone.Thinking that Apple has a solution for everything, I checked my iTunes preferences, sure there would be an option to "play unchecked songs." I was wrong. When an unchecked song comes up in the playlist, it is skipped. If I double click the unchecked song, it will play, but once it finishes it will move on to the next checked song. Am I the only person that thinks this is painfully annoying?So let me propose an solution: add a line in the preferences to "Skip unchecked song in playback," so that I can uncheck that box. Thanks!
