I agree, it's not very useful right now. It would be best to disable it via Rick's new branch, but until that is merged post-2.4.0, I suggest disabling it in the .desktop file so it doesn't get loaded at run-time (but users who want it can still enable it). I have some plans for the service but it requires other software projects to to fall into line and those aren't ready yet. cheers, leo -- l...@kdab.com KDAB (USA), LLC lfran...@kde.org The KDE Project _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
