iTunes Feature: "Play this song next"

To:  Apple, Inc.

Dear Apple,

We, the undersigned, are users of iTunes and/or the iPod, and are frustrated we cannot simply right click the next song we want to listen to and select "Play this song next". We are frustrated that we have to wait for a song to finish then select the song we wish to jump to.

When selecting the proposed right-click-menu option, iTunes should wait until the current song is finished playing then play the song the user wished to jump to (and start playing each song descending from that point (as already is programmed)).

This feature is similar to a feature in which places the song "Next" in "Party Shuffle" BUT SHOULD CONTRAST from the "Party Shuffle" list feature because one can ONLY queue ONE song at a time. Once the queued song starts playing, the queue is cleared and the order of songs continues as normal (starting with the next song in a descending manner). So, in fact, this feature should also be implemented within "Music", "Movies", "Party Shuffle", "Playlists" and all categories except "Radio".

If one wants to queue more than one song, they can do so using "Party Shuffle", which is already an implemented feature.

Please reconsider our frustration in wasting our valuable time by waiting sometimes several minutes to select the next song we wish to start. These minutes add up over time and could be served in better places like clean our house, working on homework, even shopping in the iTunes store. Doing ANYTHING would be better than staring at the songs' progress bar while waiting for the song to end.

Apple, we graciously request you to show us your respect for our time and implement this feature in the next release of iTunes on all current and future platforms supported by iTunes.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
