Description Alex Lushpai 2009-12-23 20:16:30 UTC 
Version:           2.2.1 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), volkerdi@slackware.com)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.29.6-smp

I normally listen to music on random track mode, but today i'm try to disable it for listen one album as is. After that, i'm trying to enable random track mode again, clicked onto "Playlist->Random->Tracks" menu item, and nothing change, music plays with disabled Random mode. Random Album mode doesn't work too.

In 2.2.2 you cannot do "Playlist->Random->Tracks".

You can do playlist->Tracks->Random which is the same as playlist->tracks, and playlist->Album->Random which randomizes the order of tracks in albums but plays albums sequentially.

The only way I'm aware of to achieve 'random album mode' is through scripts.  Could you confirm if you are using any scripts; and if the problem still affects you with 2.2.2?

First of all, i'm using version 2.2.1, not 2.2.2. No scripts are using, just standart distribution of amarok.

Alex, please upgrade to Amarok 2.2.2, available since 3 weeks already, and test if you can reproduce your problem with that version.

Closing for lack of feedback. Please only reopen this report if you can reproduce it with Amarok 2.2.2 or later.
