Description Silver Salonen 2010-12-15 22:27:09 UTC 
Version:           2.4-GIT (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

I made a script that I used to convert dynamic/smart playlists from Amarok 1.4 to Amarok 2.4 dynamic playlists. So I now have 77 different artists to be matched with proportion 100% in dynamic playlist. When I repopulate the playlist, mostly one artist is always shown in playlist. 'Upcoming' is set to 10, so there are 8 of this one artist's tracks and 2 other.

With some other playlist (that has more than 100 of those matches) things are a bit better, but not much - in there sometimes 3-4 artists take 9 out of 10 places. Sometimes one track is shown multiple times in row (looks like a hell of a coincidence).

Reproducible: Always

Should be fixed with dynamic playlist.
Also the default is to prevent duplicates.
