Description Jaroslav.Tucek 2015-12-20 11:20:09 UTC
When a multi-disc album is added to a playlist, separate albums with the same name appear, each containing tracks from one disc. With a track progression setting on "Random albums", all the discs in the album are played as a unit.

Can you please change this to randomize on (album, disc number) pairs instead?

Alternatively, if the current behavior is actually intentional, can you introduce a new track progression mode "Random discs"?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play a playlist with at least one multi-disc album in "Random albums" mode

Actual Results:  
All discs within albums are played sequentially

Expected Results:  
Discs within albums are played randomly

Maybe a special case of this bug. After about 15 hours of playback with the correct behavior for the Random Albums progression, Amarok now plays only the first track of an album and then jumps to another album, again playing only the first track, and so on...
