Version: 2.3.0 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) "release 231", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop I'm listening to music and I have to log off. I don't close Amarok and this way it loses the actual playlist and next time loads the previous. And it's true for the arrangement of the playlist, too (it remembers the new style, but doesn't apply). I don't know whether it is an Amarok or a KDE bug, but is annoying.
That usually only happens if Amarok crashes on shutdown. Are you sure there is no crash involved?
When I quit with Ctrl+Q Amarok doesn't crash, so I assume it doesn't do that when KDE stop it. I know that I can hear sound until the 'last minute', so Amarok stops playing only when the screen went black and the system is restarting.
