<pre wrap="">Very likely a problem with your Phonon backend. Some distros use
Phonon-GStreamer by default, and this one is quite buggy.
We currently recommend using Phonon-xine, which is less buggy.
Ultimately there will be Phonon-VLC, which is currently in
development, but for now xine works best.

<pre wrap="">Hmm ... tried changing the backend to xine and all I got was the player
skipping all tracks in turn, playing nothing. Not a viable solution in my
case.

Well, this is due to you not having the codecs installed for the xine
backend. In the case of Debian, you need to isntall the package called
libxine1-ffmpeg.
</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
I already have the latest codec installed - <br>
<br>
sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg<br>
Reading package lists... Done<br>
Building dependency tree<br>
Reading state information... Done<br>
libxine1-ffmpeg is already the newest version.<br>
<br>
<br>
So, that is not the issue here I don't think. <br>

<pre wrap="">The other thing I have noticed is that adding new songs to the current
playlist automatically shuffles to the first track of the new playlist ...
even mid-song. This really is a PITA.
Are developers aware of this issue, do you know?

I can't reproduce this here with the developer version, so I guess it
is already fixed for the upcoming Amarok 2.3.1
</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
It is an issue I haven;t encountered in some two years of using Amarok,
so do hope that this is a temporary issue.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your ideas.<br>
