The iTunes DJ feature is great – it randomly moves through your iTunes library to play songs in orders you'd never considered or remind you of gems you haven't heard in a while. Because it's random, though, it also sometimes plays songs you don't want to hear.
You can control this a bit by rating songs and telling iTunes to play higher-rated songs more often. But songs you don't like can still get played. What if you want to skip them entirely?
This comes up for me a lot. I'm a big fan of old-time radio shows like The Shadow and Arch Oboler's Lights Out. However, I don't want these 30-minute dramas included with a music mix that comes on when I'm trying to focus on work.
If you're in the same boat as me, iTunes has a feature that can help. It's called Skip When Shuffling. Here’s how to use it.
