It isn't consistently reproducible, but I do sometimes see the paused track at the top of the Now Playing: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=10795

[quote="mcow"]I've seen a couple of issues with Now Playing list displaying incorrectly. For instance: while playing a song in the middle of the list, view the Now Playing list; and put the device screen to sleep. Then wake the device up: while rendering the list, MMA shows the currently playing track at the top of the list while it queries the rest, and then fills in the list below the current track (including another instance of the current track).

That is probably the same thing that happens to me. In my case there appears to be one visual copy of the currently playing song per number of screens it would take to show all tracks up to the original/real currently playing tracks position. What I mean by that is if you have a 100 tracks on the NP list and can see 10 tracks at once, there would be at most (100 / 10) = 10 visual copies of the currently playing song. Most irritating part is that sometimes play back will resume from one of the copies instead of the correct position (e.g. if you were listening to track 50 in the NP list before it could resume playback at track 34).

I've also seen weird behavior when playing a Smart Playlist that serves up a random set of tracks. I have one such list that just provides ten tracks that haven't been heard lately. At least twice, I've seen some strangeness where the list completes playing, and MMA somehow appends another ten tracks to the current list of ten. I don't know how to reproduce this, however.

Local content on my SDcard.

I think the problem is MMA's performance. It seems that "pointers" get messed up as the data structure (NP list) is not complete yet after restart (just guess).

Are you playing local content or UPnP?

Which build of MMA?

If you pause, wait a short while (few minutes) than unpause and switch immediately to the NP list the currently playing song will be duplicated many times in the playlist and sometimes the currently playing song will be one of the "copies".

If this has not been reported yet let me know and I'll write a proper bug report.
