Bug 240518

Version:           2.3.1 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

The new automatic playlist generation has has a feature,
prevent duplicates, which would be helpful in dynamic playlists as well. Even if this only considered the entries in the current playlist (i.e., not those that have disappeared), it would be very nice.

This, in combination with a second request (a relative last played filter), will solve my biggest gripe with the way dynamic playlists currently work - I tend to get a distressing large number of plays of a small set of tracks. With last played set to a recent date, I can avoid part of the problem, but this appears to increase the number of dupes generated, so instead of hearing the same track several times in the same day, I may instead end up hearing the same track played N times in a row.

Currently, my solution is to continously updating the playlist with a recent
date for last played, and then keep the "Upcoming" number low (2-4).


Reproducible: Sometimes
