Description Blanked 2006-10-30 05:39:01 UTC
Version:           1.4.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When playing songs in Random Album mode and Repeat Off, it goes to a random album, plays every song in that album (ones with the same artist) and then goes to the next album.

In Repeat Playlist mode, however, it plays one song in the album and then, purposefully -- every time, skips to an entirely different album never playing the same album twice. I originally thought this was the intended method for Random Album mode until i turned repeat off.

I believe now that Random Album mode is intended to play each song in an album before skipping to the next. Repeat Playlist should not change this (as it does now). Although, there should be an option to only play one random song in each album as Repeat Playlist does currently because I don't like listening to the same person sing twice in a row ;).

I spoke with another person using the same KDE/Amarok as me and he does not get this bug! I am unsure of what differences we have but he could not reproduce this. He compiled his from source with gentoo, mine was from kubuntu pre-installed.

For note: The songs in the album had same artist and album tag and had other songs in album with higher track number.

To reproduce: Random Album mode on. Place 2 songs from the same album with 1 song from a different album in a playlist. Play the song in the album with the lowest track number (just to be sure ;)). Skip to the end of the song by dragging bar near to end. Next song will be from different album if Repeat Playlist is on. It will be from same album if Repeat Off is on.

I presume this bug is fixed, since can't reproduce it in amarok 1.4.9.1

I mark this bug fixed, please return if you experience it in amarok 2.

Thank you for your report.
