So it seems it _does_ use the MusicBrainz identifiers. And I do prefer it to track songs not files. (Same song in the same format from different CD.) Some of the things that would be useful to have in amarok is that I can have a button that opens the MusicBrainz website about a track, album or artist that I'm looking it. In amarok 1.4 it used to do a lockup based on the name of album, artist and song, and then you go to a search page on the MusicBrainz website where you need to select which one you mean, while the file has the proper meta data to directly go to the correct page. And that is what this bug was about. It would also be useful if other websites made use of MusicBrainz information like for instance lyrics sites so you actually get the right lyrics and not something that completly has nothing to do with it. But that is of course outside the scope of amarok if the sites do not support that. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
