Description Abdulla F Bubshait 2006-05-21 13:24:14 UTC
Version:           1.4 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

If I create dynamic playlist of multiple seperate smart-playlists (eg. Dynamic playlist consisting of three smart playlists, Rock, Jazz and Classical). When I Populate or Re-populate the dynamic playlists then all songs will be selected from only one specific smart playlists (ie. All Jazz, or All Classical songs). It is only when new songs are being added do they start becoming a mix of the multiple playlists.

When populating or repopulating the dynamice playlists must randomly select songs from all the playlists involved and not only one.

this is an even bigger problem if you select "favourite tracks" as a source for a dynamic playlist:
amarok then chooses from one of its artist-based sub-playlists and displays an error message if it chose one that has no tracks because you never played a song by that artist.
