The problem is that Amarok developers prefer to integrate with last.fm rather than with MusicBrainz. And some of the things which Amarok 1.4 used to have may never be implemented in Amarok 2: "been there, done that, won't do that again". I'm afraid this will stay as it is for years to come. -- Modestas Vainius <modes...@vainius.eu>
