Description Martin L ü c h e m 2009-12-20 14:19:13 UTC

Version:           2.2.1 (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-2-amd64

It appears that the silent periods between pieces in the playlist are extremely short or - even worse - parts auf the oeices are cut. I wonder if this is a problem with the ripped flac files or an amarok bug. 

I just tried to test the scenario with files where I added 2 sec of silence but then amarok crashed again while testing with the queue. :-( 

(Just running out of time because now this bug report including debugging information has vanished and I do not know how to recover it.)

I wonder if there is a way to increase the pause between pieces in the queue or playlist.

Please, Martin, ask in the forum or in #amarok or #amarok.de before submitting reports. Most of those you are reporting are duplicates or already fixed. It would really spare you and us some work :) 
Also keep in mind that some bugs appear to be Amarok related, but are caused by other underlying structures like Phonon, as in this example. Searching in the Amarok bugslist would not have shown this.

Hi,

if something appears to be a bug I will for sure enter this as a bug report. Why should I curve around in forums searching for solutions? When "Searching in the Amarok bugslist would not have shown this (Phoron bug)", this is bad enough - for you and for me!

When I read the description of the related bug 172394 I wonder if the bug itself does not have to do with the phoron/amarok interface. In this case the bug would belong to either side of it.

Increasing pauses between the pieces within Amarok might be a workaround. Is this possible within Amarok? Do you think that this could be a workaround? 

Martin

Sorry Martin, but this is bug report interface, not a support media. I already told you where to ask.
If you really want to contribute in a productive way, then use the channels I indicated you, so far your reports were mostly duplicates or support questions. I gladly answer your questions where those belong, not here.
