Hi,
ever since I switched form Amarok 1.4 to Amarok 2.x, I am having trouble with the playlist feature.
As the name 'list' states, anybody familiar with basic programming issues knows what a list is, i.e. a sequence of items, where the user should be able to specify the sequence and the system keeps this specified sequence.
Instead, Amarok scrambles any given playlist by some unknown algorithm. It not only stores the playlist in the scrambled sequence, it also exports it to external players like e.g. my Ipod. Of course, it is possible to sort the playlist for playback via Amarok, but only via sorting - I cannot modify the sequence myself.
So I wonder: am I the only one dealing with this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Or is this viewed as a 'feature' of Amarok 2.x, one of the many 'improvements' over 1.4?
Maybe someone can explain to me what is going on here - many thanks in advance.
Norbert

Which exact Amarok version are you talking about?

Did I understand correctly you are talking about saved playlists, not the playlist in Amarok, right?

FWIW: of course you can drag and drop items on a playlist by hand, it works here without problems, using current Amarok from git master (which is quite close to the recently released 2.9 beta)

I am running Amarok 2.8.0.
In fact, the problem concerns saved playlists only, which, unfortunately, affects also the export to my Ipod.

Could you please file a bug about this? I couldn't find an equivalent in the bugs database: http://bugs.kde.org
