Bugzilla – Bug 4991
MP3tunes Random Mix plays only one track if "Shuffle by Song" is on

(per support ticket 070507-000372) When I select Playlists --> Random tracks in the SB menu, tracks will play, but oddly, every single track seems to "get stuck" on repeat, even when I explicitly select "No repeat" in the SB menu. The only way I can stop the repetition ad infinitum, it seems, is to go forward to the next track.......and then the same thing happens again! By some experimentation, I've found that I needed to select "Don't shuffle playlist". This seemed to solve the problem. - - - Support Note: I tested and recreated this behavior in-house on 5/11/07
So it only happens if shuffle is enabled?
Yes, I set shuffle to "Shuffle by Song" and it play the same track endlessly until you press FWD.
I've made some fixes to shuffle play on the SN beta server that need some testing. Playing MP3tunes and Rhapsody while in shuffle by song mode should now work as expected. Please also test shuffle mode with things like radio stations with more than one URL (i.e. Soma FM). I am not sure what happens with 'shuffle by album' mode, this probably won't work on SN since we don't have the concept of 'albums'.
Will review the outstanding SN bugs after 7.0 ships.
