Sadly you don't specify which phonon backend you are using, which is essential when talking about playback in Amarok, as Amarok doesn't play the sound, but uses Phonon and its backends to do so. JFYI: there is a known bug with the phonon-backend-gstreamer with track to track progression. Actually the problem is the gstremer 0.10.x library, and there currently is work in progress to use the gstreamer 1.x library in phonon, but this is not finished and hence not released. This bug is only one of the reasons why the Phonon developers recommend the phonon-backend-vlc to be the preferred one. FWIW: you can find a very long list of bugs and duplicates describing this problem in http://bugs.kde.org. Google is your friend here, as "amarok track change" would have given you that list and more than enough explanations... FWIW2: your KDE version is outdated, the current one is 4.12.1 and the 4.11 branch also is still one of the maintained ones, 4.10.x isn't: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules Regards, Myriam -- Proud member of the Amarok and KDE Community Protect your freedom and join the Fellowship of FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org Please don't send me proprietary file formats, use ISO standard ODF instead (ISO/IEC 26300) _______________________________________________ Amarok mailing list Amarok@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok
