Change what will play next on the fly with the new iTunes.

When you play music from your library with the new iTunes, click the Up Next button on the right in the player to see the coming lineup and to add to, subtract from, and rearrange the list. You can change the order by simply dragging songs within it. To delete a song, point at it and click the X that will appear on the left. To add to the list, point at songs, albums, or artists in your library and either drag and drop them onto the button or click the arrow that will appear to produce a menu of possibilities, including "Add to Up Next." So If a song makes you think of something you haven't listened to for awhile, it's a snap to queue it up. And it works when you're using the miniplayer as well as the full iTunes window.
