Hi there, 
 I have a very annoying problem with amarok >1.4.9.1 Everytime I select "next song" (mouseclick, shortcut etc does not matter) amarok hangs. The GUI gets no updates and the current songs gets played further for at least 3 secons. If i just doubleclick a song from the playlist or if I select "next song" when shuffle is off, all works fine. But I want/need shuffle :) Toggling crossfading does not change a thing. Very annoying.. Any hints? 
 
 Btw, my entropy-pool is full of random bits, at least 3500 byte under normal circumstances.. Don't know if amarok cares about this, but still... should be enough :) 
 
Amarok hangs longer the more songs are in the playlist. Anyone else experiencing this behaviour? 
 ~150 songs: ~0,1 secs 
 ~350 songs: ~0,2 secs 
 ~3800 songs: ~5 secs (!)

I have posted this on the gentoo-forums, too.

I'm sorry, but we are no longer actively maintaining Amarok 1.x. Our focus is on Amarok 2 currently.

Please ask on our forum instead: http://amarok.kde.org/forum
