I listen to my music in iTunes a lot of the time using Shuffle Mode (sort of like listening to a radio station). One of the things that is missing from Up Next is the ability to add songs and have them randomly added thus preserving the "Shuffle Mode-ness" of the list. The lack of this ability is particularly irritating when I want to add a whole album. I don't want to hear the whole album at the beginning or end of the list. I want to here selections from it spread randomly throughout the list.

"It lacks the ability that iTunes DJ had to choose songs at random from your music library" --- not really. I have a shuffle, repeat-all of my music playlist constantly running in Up Next and then add specific tracks or albums I want to listen to at the top of that and it returns to the shuffling once those are finished.


iTunes DJ was way more powerful than that...

check the discussion at apple forum:

(now 35 pages long!!!)

I am not upgrading to 11 until iTunes DJ is back or "Up Yours" is improved
