I can't say is It appeared in this branch or It It's old bug (or not a bug at all), I'v never used dynamic playlists before. Also I can't understand how does "Quiz paly" works. Anyways 2nd day of tests and I haven't seen any errors, or bugs (except mentioned above).

Hi Sergey,
use the "unique" bias to filter out duplicate tracks.

Quiz Play picks a track that starts with the character the last one ended with.
So after "Ronda" you get "All at once" and then "Every breath you take".
(you can also set this to use the artist instead of the track title)

The Biases have tool tips.
