GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 623676
Incoherent behavior of next (shuffle) button
Last modified: 2010-07-17 13:41:53 UTC
There's an incoherent behavior of "shuffle by" mode: - The next (when shuffle is active) button always does "shuffle by song" - Instead when a song ends and the next one must be picked, the selected "shuffle by" value is used
I don't understand. In 'by album' mode, hitting next works fine for me, not for you? I don't understand your second point at all.
Perhaps this is a duplicate of Bug 608778?
maybe a dup. But for sure when tou select shuffle by artist, and click on the next button a new artist is picked (as when suffle by song is selected). On the other side if I don't use the next button, and I wait till the song end, shuffle by artist work
Ahh, in that case, this sounds like a dupe of Bug 608781, and I'm going to mark it as such. That bug is marked as WONTFIX because the current behavior is, in fact, intended. The shuffle by artist/album modes treat entire artists or albums as a group, and if you press the skip button, you are effectively skipping the entire group of songs. See 608781 for more details and discussion. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 608781 ***
