Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
I often listen to single-song audio streams. Take this m3u for example, http://
It is 1 .m3u file with about 17 songs inside of it (CC album). In most players, once the first song has ended, it would play the next file in the stream...
Rhythmbox, however, constantly repeats each stream indefinitely. Once one song ends, it doesn't go to the next song. This is extremely annoying.
I have tested this with 2 others over irc, they have the same results and rhythmbox will not move to the next stream once one has finished.
This makes it impossible to stream full albums, very annoying. It's also unfortunate that you cannot add these non-endless streams to the play queue.
Thanks, Ethan Lofton.

I can confirm this behavior. The "repeat" button seems to have no effect in iradio. It seems like the best solution is to have the "repeat" button allow a user to repeat a radio station when it is enabled. When "repeat" is not enabled, Rhythmbox should proceed through all of the radio stations as though they were a playlist.
