Hey Everyone,
I have been having a strange issue with Front Row recently. The thing is, when I am listening to music and I want to go to another song, when I press menu to get my songs to come up, it works. However, once I start scrolling through the songs, every now and then the menu will jump back to the currently playing genre, song, etc. in the current list I am looking at, so if I am listening to Easy Listening and I am looking through my genres, it will automatically go and highlight Easy Listening by itself. This makes it very hard to go through the menu to pick another song as when I find something I want to click, just before I click the OK button, it has highlighted the currently playing genre and it goes into that instead so I have to go out and try to get to the other genre fast enough so it doesn't jump back.

Does anyone know if this is a feature, or whether something is gone wrong with my Front Row?

Thanks for any help.:apple:
 
I am having the same issue. If i'm listenting to a song by the beatles.. then i go scrolling through my artist while that song is playing it suddenly jumps back to the beatles.

I am having this problem on my imac but not on my macbook which are running the same os and same version of frontrow, i wonder if i can just transfer my plist. this issue make using front row frustrating. any help would be appreciated.
 
Ive had this happen several times on two machines.

it will jump back to some random inconspicuous artist or album.


Is your library external? on a TimeCapsule or AEBSn?
 
Hey,
Sounds like there is a common problem. To answer your question, my library is on my internal hard drive. The same HD as Mac OS X is on.
Hope someone can help us out.

EDIT : Also, I have updated to 10.5.7, and still experiencing the issue.
