           Summary: Queue Track and Stop Playing After Track do not work
                    with streams
           Product: amarok
           Version: 1.4.2-beta1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PlaylistBrowser
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist kde org
        ReportedBy: arend auton nl


Version:           1.4.2-beta1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

It would be nice and more consistent if functions like Queue Track and Stop Playing After Track worked sensibly in combination with streams.

For example, I'm playing a stream and want the stream to stop after it has finished its current song, so I select Stop Playing After Track. Currently this has no effect at all and is just simply useless. I think it would make sense to just stop playing after the stream has finished its current song in this case. You may even consider to rename the action to Stop Playing After Song to reflect this if you implement this. If you do not want to implement this, please at least remove the option from the context menu.

Something similar can be said for the action Queue Track. If you're currently playing a stream and then queue a track from your playlist, it would make sense if Amarok jumped to the queued track as soon as the stream finishes its current song.

Finally, does it really make sense to have Repeat Track in the context menu of streams? At least the last.fm streams do not allow to put a song on repeat, are there streams that do? Could it be detected whether a stream supports this and make the option available accordingly?

Cheers, and congrats on your upcoming 1.4.2 release, it already appears to gonna be your best release ever ;)
