Version: 1.4.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1) Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu OS: Linux When running Amarok in "random album" order, if Amarok picks an album that contains a variety of artists (more specifically, each artist has only one song on that album, I haven't tested the other cases yet), then only that song on the album will be played, then Amarok will move on to another album. The song need not be the first song on the album either, it appears that it can be any of them. I'm not familiar with the Amarok code, but it seems like it's doing a 'select ... group by album, artist' when it should be doing a 'select ... group by album, disc_number'. Also see bug 133164, which is potentially related.
Same here. Additionally, if there are more than one song from one artist on that compilation (like it is often the case on soundtracks), random album mode plays all the songs from that artist.
I see this with 1.4.4 also (a.k.a., "me too!").

works fine for me with gentoo/portage's amarok-1.4.4-r4 ebuild fixed maybe?
Nope, still exists in 1.4.5. Jumps around in playlist like crazy :)

How is this still listed as NEW when it's 7 months old and has been reported by 5 people against 3 versions?
this is still broken in 1.4.7
"How is this still listed as NEW when it's 7 months old and has been reported by 5 people against 3 versions?" It probably shouldn't be listed as NEW, especially when people have written that they can't replicate it.
I've made a video to show that shows it happening but it's too big to upload as an attachment. Is there a standard place to host large attachments? My guess for Comment #4 is that maybe the gentoo ebuild has it patched but didn't submit a patch upstream.
try www.4shared.com ;)
that worked. For some reason youtube kept telling me my 1 minute, 10 MB video was too long. I guess because it's an ogg. http://www.4shared.com/file/23746435/b39759a1/out.html
Did anyone take a look at this? I just received notification that the 4shared account is about to expire, so I assume the video will be removed as well. Is 10 MB too be to for bugs.kde.org?
bug 133164 has been solved. can you check if this solves your problem too?
Works fine in 1.4.9.1.
This is still broken for me in 1.4.9.1.
I can confirm this, running 1.4.9.1 as well
Sorry for that, it turns out to be completely nuts. My playlist currently contains five tracks: first two -- same album, same artist; second two -- same album, different artists; last one completely unrelated. Amarok gets stuck at the first two tracks, and never plays last three. Anyways, I presume it is too messy to fix in current 1.4 state, so unfortunately there (most probably) won't be any fixes to this bug in this release. Please, come back if you have any problems in amarok 2.
I am forwarding this bug to upcoming 2.0 release. Currently it is unknown, if this bug persists there. Unfortunately, developers have no resources on fixing this bug in 1.4 branch. Thank you for your assistance.
Corrected version tag
Please someone check if this is still valid in Amarok 2.
I don't want to upgrade to KDE4 to build the latest amarok2 alpha just to test this bug. It shouldn't be difficult for any of the official developers or testers to test. Just make a dozen copies of a single mp3 and then update the tags so that they identify 3 albums: album1 by artist1; album2 by artist2; and album3 as various artits with tracks 1 and 3 by artist4 and tracks 2 and 4 by artist5. Set shuffle to album and see if it works.
I wasn't able to reproduce this with Amarok 2 svn. When Amarok started playing a compilation from different artists, it played all of it, not just the first track.
Thanks Mikko. Closing then.
