iTunes 4.6 Party Shuffle Error

I just upgraded iTunes to iTunes 4.6 on my OS.X 10.3.4 Powerbook, and Party Shuffle neither parties, nor shuffles. Instead, it lists nearly all (except about 200 tracks) of my Library no matter what source or display options are selected, with no regard to the refresh button. I figure there is something wrong with a configuration file somewhere. Help LazyWeb!

UPDATE
This update is more for google, than for myself. The solution, is as follows:

  1. Select all (apple-a) songs in the Party Shuffle window
  2. Press delete (this removes them from the queue, but not from your library)
  3. Press Refresh (top right corner)

Now the list will refresh and actually shuffle. Now iTunes parties (along with the aforementioned shuffling). Why I didn't think of this in the beginning is beyond me. Why this happened after an upgrade is also beyond me. I don't know if this is a wide spread problem when upgrading, but since Party Shuffle is a new feature (it appeared in v4.5), I figure not all of the bugs have been fully worked out. Google was of no help either, mostly the returns for itunes os.x party.shuffle error were for AppleScript errors.
