Uhm, I personally don't understand at all what the problem
is. Is it
that amarok loops between these two tracks all by itself? If
not explain
exactly what you did, which buttons you pressed, what
happened and what
you expected to happen.

Apart from that: This is the wrong list, amarok has its own
mailing
list. See https://
mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok

I understand that.

However, there's no need to send these issue to this list. 
AmaroK has it's 
own mailing list (this is NOT it), forum, and IRC channel. 
I noticed your 
bug was marked as resolved: works for me, and I would guess
you aren't 
happy with that resolution. (I'm not either, I think Mark
Kretschmann 
misunderstood what you are trying to do.)

However, part of this is your description of the problem. 
It's very 
confusing for me to read -- I'm guessing English isn't your
native 
language?  Something like this might be better: (feel free
to use if you 
think it describes your problem)

My set-up:
I own a 2 CD album.  I've ripped the track and correctly
tagged them.  In 
particular, the first song on the first CD has tags like: {
'Track' 
=> '1', 'Album' => 'My Album Title', 'Disc Number'
=> '1' } and the first 
song on the second CD has tags like: { 'Track' => '1',
'Album' => 'My 
Album Title', 'Disc Number' => '2' }.

What I'm doing:
Add the first two songs for each disk in this album to the
play list.  
(Larger playlists exhibit similar behavior, but this is a
small test case 
that shows the problem.)
Choose Mode -> Repeat -> Playlist
Choose Mode -> Random -> Album
Start playback

What happens:
The first song from the first CD plays, then the first song
from the 
*second* CD plays, then the *first* song of the *first* CD
repeats.  The 
first song from each disc repeats ad inf.; other songs from
any CD in the 
album never gets played!

What I expected to happen:
The first song from the first CD plays, then the remaining
songs from the 
*first* CD plays, then the first song of the *second* CD
plays followed by 
the remaining songs from the second CD.  Finally, another
album is choosen 
at random and plays etc. (In the 4-song, test playlist I've
described, the 
album would repeat since it's in only album on the
playlist.)

Notes:
I know it's possible to play this album in order by using
Mode -> Random -> 
Off, but it seems like AmaroK should be able to determine
the order of 
this album in Mode -> Random -> Album as well -- I
often queue up many, 
many albums in Random Album mode and it seems silly (I might
even go so 
far as to say it's a usability issue) to have to take
specific action when 
I'm adding a properly tagged multi-CD album to the playlist
in this mode.
