Odd iTunes 8 bug?

I am not even sure this is a bug, but it is a strange and annoying behavior. When I upgraded from iTunes 7 to iTunes 8 for Mac, most of my Smart Playlists stopped playing more than one song with each play command. The playlist would only play one song and stop. Very annoying, you build a playlist to have music running and not have to worry about selecting a new song every time.

Scanned the support forums, every solution they suggested did not apply in my case (my songs were checked, the “use only checked songs” button was not checked, editing the playlist showed nothing unusual). As a last resort I deleted my smart playlist and created a new one with the same settings and name and… it worked.

Strange, but perhaps this solution will either help someone else noticing the same problem or someone will send in a reason why it happens and how to fix it without deleting and recreating the playlist.

As a side note, nothing gets rid of bad 1970s era ear-worms like medieval music! Miri it is!
