If I load a playlist (or several files) in xmms and start play at the first song in the list then it never plays the playlist like it is in the window. What can happen:

- it plays the first song, then stops.
- it plays the first song then skips a few songs and continues
- it plays the first song then scrolls through the playlist and stops at the bottom without playing anything else
- it skips a few songs and start somewhere in the middle of the playlist

Likewise if I just double-click a song in the playlist or highlight it and click on "play".

There isn't any "rule" in this. It doesn't depend on the location of the songs, it doesn't depend on the number of songs, it doesn't matter what songs or playlist and it doesn't matter what filetype (.wav, .mp3). It just randomly plays and skips songs. Only it seems to be worse when it is running in a desktop I'm not working in.

I use it with Jack. It doesn't stutter like I see in other posts (unless emerge --sync is running). I tried it with the alsa output driver, but that makes no difference.

Using the following:

xmms: 1.2.10-r15
xmms-jack: 0.11

Code:
Portage 2.0.53 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 x86_64)

The links are correct. It also happens when I do not use a playlist and add the files manually in the "playlist editor" window.

Yes, it is on a mounted drive (raid 5 array). I tried to move it to my home directory or another drive. Makes no difference. All files are on the same drive in the same directory.

Have checked it, and random play is not enabled.

Quote:

Permissions are the same for all the files. Tried as root and as user but makes no difference.

EDIT: tried some shoutcast streams, and this works fine.

If I look into the settings it says libmpg123. But I have the same with playinf .wav files.
