Bug Description
Binary package hint: amarok
Kubuntu Jaunty beta. If I double-click on an album in my collection, the first track gets played, but then amarok stops playing. Also, the bug "next track" and "previous track" buttons at the top left don't do anything (and neither do the ones in the "Amarok" menu). I can double-click on each track in the playlist in turn and get it to play, but when done it always stops and never goes on to the next track.
I've looked for a setting "stop after current track" and can't find anything except a context menu when I right-click on a given playlist item. However, selecting that menu item (hoping to un-select something...) doesn't do anything, as far as I can tell.
One hint about what's going on: on the command line, when the current track finishes I get the following output:
QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00
QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00
amarok(12437) CurrentTrack:
QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00
QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00
QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00
QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00
amarok(12437) CurrentTrack:
amarok(12437) CurrentTrack:
amarok(12437) CurrentTrack:
Starting a new track (by double-clicking) also yields output, but far fewer:
QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00
amarok(12437) CurrentTrack:
I have a hard time believing that this is broken for everyone, because it's such an obvious bug; I'm wondering whether it could be setup-specific. Note I reported a K-menu bug with amarok also, leading me to wonder whether there is some package error that is only affecting my machine. Here are amarok-related packages on my machine:

Alternatively, perhaps it has something to do with a bug in the string handling, and there's something unusual about how my files are named? I simply ripped with K3b...

Sometimes Amarok2 springs a few tracks without any reason. I don't have any output.
I have a temporary solution for this problem. Installing Amarok 1.4.10 from a external repos on your (K)Ubuntu system. nomad.ca/ blog/2009/ apr/3/amarok- 14-jaunty- ubuntu- 904/
