Avoid an iPhone self-updating Smart Playlist bug
Authored by: TouringComet on May 01, '09 10:38:40AM

I have a smart playlist of the 50 least recently played 5 star songs. Sure, if I go into that playlist and start playing songs, it is the same 50 songs while the list is playing.

But, if I then leave that playlist and just start playing a song somewhere else, when I go back to this smart playlist, I have a new set of 50 songs. Some might be the same as before, if they weren't played, but the ones that were played drop off, and are replaced with the next least recently played.

And if I play through the whole list of 50 songs, it takes you back to the screen listing all of the playlists, and if I go directly back to the same smart playlist, it is a completely new set of 50 songs.

That behavior seems perfectly fine to me.

Is the problem that played items don't immediately disappear when the next item begins? On my 1st gen iPhone, the smart playlist with playcount=0 removes the songs only after I've exited the playlist. This behavior makes sense to me.
