"Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I loaded a CD, and started playing it with Rhythmbox. Initially it was on repeat + shuffle.

After playing 3 tracks, I turned off repeat.

Rhythmbox (randomly) played one of those three tracks, and I skipped it (since I'd just heard it).

I then listened to the CD until Rhythmbox stopped playing.

I looked at the "play count" for the CD, and one track was never played, while all the other tracks had a play count of 1."

Did you check which of the random algorithms it was using?  It should be using "shuffle".  Check the gconf key:

/apps/rhythmbox/state/play_order

it should be shuffle.  If it is "random", then it will play randomly without replacement (i.e. it might play the track more than once) which would account for the behaviour you are seeing.

Unfortunately exactly what random algorithm used is not currently exposed in the UI (bug #163196) but I think it should use "shuffle" by default.
Comment 2 Alex L. Mauer 2008-03-27 00:12:12 UTC 
Yes, the play_order was set to 'shuffle'.
Comment 3 Alex L. Mauer 2008-04-28 19:07:10 UTC 
Also, if it were on 'random', I would think that it would never stop playing.  Is that not the case?
