I am very pleased to be running Amarok. I haven't discovered all of the features and their nuances yet but I am mostly moved into it and delighted.
Debian Squeeze v6.01 Gnome2 v2.3 / Openbox v3.4 Linux 2.6.32 Dell Inspiron laptop 2 GHz Turion 64X2 2 Gig RAM. The RAM is a bit of a squeeze but I will be upgrading to 4 Gig at some point. I included the KDE help package so Amarok's Help would run under Gnome & Openbox. I was really happy to see Amarok run without issue under Openbox, which is where I like to be. My biggest concern is some files and folders that did not import and some that did not get added with a rescan when I dropped them into the designated folders of the Amarok music collection. Initially I simply added my Music directory tree, _which includes the iTunes directory tree_, to Amarok under Settings > Configure Amarok > Configure Collection and ran a "full rescan." Subsequently, I manually added some files and folders to that directory tree. I began discovering a few files and folders missing from the Amarok music collection. So I tried rescanning, doing more full rescans and importing from the Amarok file browser using the right click menu. When nothing worked, I followed the "touch" advice under the FAQ--presumably to update the access times--without avail. What finally worked so far, I haven't got to all of them, is editing the tags of the folders using the Amarok file browser right click menu, then doing a full rescan. Apparently, what gets edited doesn't matter, just that an edit happens. This can be a little time consuming. However it appears that I don't always need the full rescan. These files include mp3's, mp4's, flac's and aif's. Are there known issues here or something I should be doing differently? -- Regards, Freeman "Microsoft is not the answer.
