Itunes 7.1.1(5) party shuffle problem

[Whyapple]

Can anyone help?

Every time I launch itunes and go to play from the party shuffle tab, instead of seeing my last 10 songs played next 10 coming as that is the number I have specified, I now only get what appears to be my top rated songs appearing - about 100 of them with 5 and 4 stars in alphabetical order.

No matter what i try ,,Prefs, Playback options, I cannot get the normal shuffle screen to appear as it was 2 days ago -any ideas why this has changed and how I can revert?

It may be obvious, but what about the "Play higher rated songs more often" checkbox?

Nope, ain't that - I checked, not ticked!

Could I somehow download Itunes 7.1.1 again to re-install the shuffle facility, without disturbing or losing my I tunes as it is?

I'm baffled as to why the shuffle facility has turned itself into a copy of 'my top rated' & there doesn't seem to be a simple fix!

RESOLVED

Just highlight all the songs sitting in 'Party Shuffle' and delete.

The Party Shuffle then resets itself with the new in this case 10 random songs coming up, and then aftre the 1st has played, as usual the next one (10th upcoming) appears at the bottom!

Phew!
