It looks like a gstreamer bug.
Have you activated the gapless option ? (look for the "advanced options" button in the audio tab) Try without gapless if it was checked.

You can try reproducing the bug with this sample program : https://gist.github.com/squentin/1f28395c4e2a9dac0bee  (quickly made mostly from copying bits of gmusicbrowser_gstreamer-1.x.pm)
run it with a few m4a files as arguments and let it play.

I've actually implemented this just a few days ago. The only thing left is finding a good wording for the option, currently "Ignore these words when sorting" is a bit long and doesn't say it only ignores them if they are in front, though I could add this in the tooltip.
Any suggestions on a better wording would be welcome.

I've added a checkbox to make the shortcut "high-priority" (that is, override widget's shortcut unless it's a text entry) some months ago. It's in the git repository.
So you can either use the git version (it's not too hard) or wait for the new release in 1 or 2 days, there will be a deb file for debian/ubuntu on the download page.

Make sure the "Do not write the tags" option in the tags tab is not checked.
Otherwise, look in the advanced tag edition dialog that you get from a button at the bottom of the "edit song properties" window. The adv. dialog does not use the internal database, so what you see is what is in the file, check what values are in the tag(s).

Maybe it could help if you explain exactly why you want these lists.

I plan to add features that would make these kind of things possible, but it's not for now.
The closest feature currently are filters that returns the top/bottom x songs sorted according to a given filter : for example the top 50 best rated songs.

Anyway, if I understand what you want, what I would do is export the full shuffled list of songs in a m3u, and then use the head and tail terminal commands to split it into a few files, knowing that currently the generated m3u files begin with a "#EXTM3U" line and then contain 3 lines per files. So to get the songs 3 to 4 you do 'head -n 13 list.m3u |tail -n 6' where 13 is 1+4*3 (to get the first 4 songs) and 6 is 2*3 (to get the last 2 songs of the 4 songs). You might need to add back the first iine ("#EXTM3U") I don't remember if it's really needed.

What audio options are you using ? gstreamer, mplayer or other ? (see audio tab of the settings window)

Also, try to run it from a terminal, and see what error messages are printed when it crashes.

You mean the line numbers do not match ? This doesn't matter, this patch should work fine even with a rather old version.
Just add the lines that begin with + (do not include the +) between the lines 838 and 839 in your file

Layouts that use a SongTree have a "Row number" column.

Layouts that use SongList don't have that column, though I've just added it in the git repo : https://github.com/squentin/gmusicbrowser/commit/e262029010
If you want to use this column without updating to the git version, you can add the lines manually to /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser_list.pm (needs root/sudo permissions)

Sorry for not replying sooner.
I don't think there is any easy way to do it, I guess the only way is displaying and using the row number as your other post is asking. I'll reply there. (http://forum.gmusicbrowser.org/index.php?topic=892.0)

Thanks rhizome, sorry for taking so long. I've fixed it in git : http://git.gmusicbrowser.org/commit/8f95c16357

J'ai corrigé ça dans git : http://git.gmusicbrowser.org/commit/2ecf969792

Merci, j'ai corrigé ça dans git.
Le problème ne se manifestait qu'avec perl<5.20 et une locale qui utilise des virgules.

Je vais regarder ça de plus près. C'est probablement un problème de virgule, donc qui n'apparait que dans certaines locales.
Quel est ta version perl ? (perl -v) Et utilises tu gstreamer 0.10 ou 1.x ? (onglet audio)

Non, je n'arrive pas à reproduire ce bug

The included plugin "export" can copy selected songs to a given folder (for example the folder where your player is mounted). It's very very basic, but maybe it can do what you want.
