Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Rhythmbox 0.11.2, Gutsy Gibbon (still waiting for the Heron to
stabilize).
The first thing I try to do with an audio player program is to play a bunch of
audio files, sorted by file name.
Does giving filenames as command line arguments do it ("rhythmbox fn1 fn2
fn3")? NO. Files are ignored.
Does selecting filenames in the file manager and selecting "open with
rhythmbox" do it? NO. Files are ignored.
Does dragging filenames from the file manager to the rhythmbox play queue
window do it? NO. Files are added to the play queue in scrambled order and
there is no obvious way to sort them. Maybe dragging one file at a time would
have worked, but I have lots of files and a low boredom threshold.
The first thing I hit upon that worked was to export the scrambled
playlist (from drag-and-drop) to a .m3u file, open a terminal window,
sort the playlist using the command-line "sort" utility, load this file
as a playlist, clear the play queue. At this point, to my surprise, the
playlist I had loaded from the file started playing.
Why didn't ALL of the first 3 things I tried work?
