Trouble with multi-cd albums in random album mode

Hi,
It seems that the Random album mode of Amarok doesn't work properly with
albums that have more than one CD. Instead of first playing all the tracks
from the _first_ CD and then continuing with the second CD, it first plays
the first track of the first CD then jumps to the first track of the
_second_ CD and then jumps back to the first track of the first CD thus
looping on these two tracks and ignoring the rest of the play list.

The following is a faulty setup (copied from the link [2]):
I own a 2 CD album.  I've ripped the track and correctly tagged them.  In
particular, the first song on the first CD has tags like: { 'Track' => '1',
'Album' => 'My Album Title', 'Disc Number' => '1' } and the first song on
the second CD has tags like: { 'Track' => '1', 'Album' => 'My Album Title',
'Disc Number' => '2' }.

What I'm doing:
Add the first two songs for each disk in this album to the play list.
(Larger playlists exhibit similar behavior, but this is a small test case
that shows the problem.)
Choose Mode -> Random -> Album
Start playback


Please note that it seems that this bug has already been reported, then
misunderstood and wrongly closed and marked as resolved sometime ago. See:
