Description TobyG 2010-02-24 07:30:04 UTC
While a Rhapsody channel is playing, it used to be possible (by holding the middle button) to select the album/artist for the currently-playing song and either "Play All" or play specific tracks from that album/artist.  This was possible as recently as Version 7.4.1.  With 7.4.3 (and I believe with 7.4.2), there is no "Play All" option, and when selecting any individual tracks for an album/artist, the wait-circle rolls perpetually, and the song never plays.

The squeezebox server Web UI is able to play albums/tracks for the currently-playing song.  It just no longer works via the SB Controller.

To recreate the problem you can do the following:

1)  Start a Rhapsody channel playing on the SB Controller.
2)  Hold the middle button until the context menu pops up, which allows selections relating to the currently-playing song.
3)  Select the Album option.  A list of the songs on the album will appear.
4a)  Note that there is no "Play All" option to be able to play the album from here.  This used to be there with 7.4.1.
4b)  Select a song and push the play button.  The wait-circle will rotate, but the song will not play.  The SB Controller does not lock up and you can go to the earlier menu, but the song never plays.

This feature used to be a great way to listen to other songs from new artists that play on Rhapsody channels, but now there is no easy way to listen to other tracks from those artists/albums.  A fix for this would be great.  (Since it used to work, presumably it is possible to fix).  Thanks!

After further searching, I think this may be the same bug as reported in Bug 14589 (which is still unresolved).

Rhapsody will only play one song on the Squeezebox Receiver but it will play the full rhapsody album on Squeezebox Boom.  

(Note: Controlling both devices using Duet Controller.)
