Description Nikola Borisov 2008-05-29 05:43:49 UTC

Version:           1.4.9.1,  (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Compiler:          i486-linux-gnu 
OS:                Linux

When i load my collection as a playlist and set Amarok random mode to track it take 10 sec between each song for amarok to play the next song. It is practically impossible to skip songs. When i turn off the random mode and just click on tracks they play right away. 

I don't have any plugins. This wasn't the case with Amarok month ago. Some recent update caused this.

We did not make any changes recently that would affect the performance. The Amarok 1 codebase has been frozen for a while.

At any rate, we do not recommend to load your whole collection into one playlist. Amarok was never designed for that, and performance issues are to be expected.
