Select how many songs should remain in the Party Shuffle list after they’re played. You can drag already-played songs (even though they’re grayed out after playing) to a spot later in the list to play them again.

Select how many songs should be listed as upcoming (not yet played). By displaying upcoming songs first, you can decide whether to rearrange the list or delete songs from the Party Shuffle playlist before they’re played.

Select the Play Higher Rated Songs More Often check box if you want iTunes to add more high-rated songs to the random list.

Select the Allow Guests to Request Songs with Remote for iPhone or iPod Touch check box to let your guests have a say in the playlist.

They can use Apple’s Remote app for the iPod touch or iPhone to connect to your iTunes library and request songs, which are added to the iTunes DJ playlist. You can enter a welcome message for your guests that appears in Remote, and if you also select the Enable Voting check box, your guests can use Remote to vote on songs — songs with more votes are automatically promoted to the top of the iTunes DJ list.
