Bug Description

This happens all the time, I'm away from the computer listening to music in
shuffle mode, and a chapter of an audiobook starts playing. I have stop what
I'm doing and change it.

Why would anybody ever want to randomly listen to a random chapter of a book?

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project.

this is a feature request and I dont think even if its fixable(my guess)

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

I'm closing this bug report as "Invalid" as this is a GNOME
issue for which they have provided an explanation as to why
this issue will not be fixed.
