Hi,

As David mentioned, iTunes is not set up to play that way, but there is a 
workaround or two.

1.  Enter the song title in the Search area and then press return.  This will 
place only that one song into the Music table.  Thus, when you hit the play 
button, there's only one song to play.

or

2.  This one is a little trickier but cleaner.

* Put your songs into List view if not already there.
* Interact with the table.
* Press cmd-a to Select All.
* Press VO-shift-m to bring up the Contextual menu and choose "Uncheck 
Selection".
* Navigate to the song you wish to play and press return

Only that one song is played.  You can also move to any other song and press 
return and only that next song will play.

To add to this second method.  Let's say that you wish to play three songs only 
from that playlist or album.  After you've unchecked all the songs, navigate 
through the list and check only the three you wish to play.  Now, if you stop 
interacting with the table, navigate left to the Play button that is just 
beside the list of Playlists, and press it, then only those three songs will 
play.

Remember that you've unchecked these though, as it may be frustrating at a 
later date when you wish to play the entire album or playlist.

HTH.

Later...
