Description Oliver 2009-12-29 18:22:20 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
Compiler:          gcc (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Amarok should clear the playlist sorting configuration when switching to a dynamic playlist. 

Otherwise new songs might be added _before_ the currently playing song. I tried it with an alphabetically sorted playlist and after it finished the last song (artist starting with "Z") Amarok stopped playing.

The playlist contained several songs that were not played.

I also noticed that one of the played songs appeared 9 times in the playlist.

Changing element, since it is about playlist sorting.

Comment 2 Ravi Arora 2011-04-16 07:42:11 UTC

I also think that this is a small but needed change. Why not keep this as an option in config dialog.

This is not a wish, but a bug.
