Amazing as it is to me, apparently nobody else has seen this. It's
amazing to me because I have this problem on every machine I've ever run
Amarok on. While I'd much rather find a way to fix the problem, I've
done the next best thing and written myself a dcop script that removes
the current track from the playlist, goes to the next track, and repeats
this until the album changes. Crude but effective:

curalbum=`dcop --user greg amarok player album`
while [ "`dcop --user greg amarok player album`" == "$curalbum" ]; do
   dcop --user greg amarok playlist removeCurrentTrack
   dcop --user greg amarok player next
done

I found that without the "--user" argument it wouldn't work even when
running as the same user.
