GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 580260
Playback history is repeated on playlist change
Last modified: 2009-04-26 07:53:00 UTC
Please describe the problem: Sometimes after I've been listening to music on shuffle for a while, I decide to change to another one of my automatic playlists, so I double click on it (twice) to get it to start playing. However, I sometimes notice that the songs that are chosen are the ones I was listening to previously, and get played in the same order. It is playing back my exact listening history after the playlist change. If I keep pressing next, it runs through until the end, and then starts properly choosing songs randomly. Steps to reproduce: I haven't worked out exactly how to reproduce it yet, but these steps are generally what happens. 1. Listen to songs on any playlist for a while on shuffle. 2. Start playing a new playlist which has a number of songs in common. Actual results: Songs that I previously listened to are played. Expected results: Fresh songs are chosen according to the shuffle setting. Does this happen every time? I suspect so, but I haven't found steps which will reproduce the issue 100% yet.
