Playlist skip song bug

tniahos · 11th June 2001, 11:31

THE PROBLEM:
Empty the winamp playlist and add 3 mp3 files.
The playlist should now look like:

1. Belinda Carlisle - Heaven is a place on earth
2. Berlin - Take My Breath Away
3. Alice Cooper - Poison

(You don't have to load the specific songs(!))

OK.Now double click on the first one(Heaven is..)
While it's playing delete it from the playlist.
Now the playlist should look like that:

1. Berlin - Take My Breath Away
2. Alice Cooper - Poison

What was second in the playlist now becomes first and so on.
Now wait until the song(Heaven is..) completes playing.
Normally someone would expect that when the song completed playing then
winamp would start playing the next item in the list which is:
1. Berlin - Take My Breath Away

Here is the bug.Instead of playing this song WINAMP skips it and starts playing the one after that which is:
2. Alice Cooper - Poison

Deleting a song from the playlist whilst it is playing is simply asking for trouble.

A good program should tolerate
any input and handle any exception gracefully.
i agree with you but whatever the case it's still the programmers job to fix this.
