If the DB is getting corrupt I would even argue that it's a dataloss thing and would be grave. > > Some of the things that annoy me: > > - Adding a new track to the collection seems to completly mess up > > the meta data.

Amarok > messes up meta data sometimes but this is too much. No I didn't. And I also think that's no solution. There are already ways to rescan/update the whole collection which shouldn't even be needed if things worked properly. > > - Sometimes it has no idea which track it's playing if you try to > > ask meta data about it.

I just had this happen again to me. I just started amarok and it's already the case. So my memory was a little wrong, it still shows the meta data, but not the name of the file. And it's only for the tracks off the colection, not from those of the playlist.

If you are using third party scripts, remove them. I was, but not anymore.

In the middle at the bottom there are some buttons which you can use to select which applet you want to see. Pressing on the first one ussually has as effect that you see that one and the following one, or maybe all of them. Pressing the second might have as effect that you only see the 2nd one, or the 2nd and 3rd one. You should also try to change the order of them once, it seems to work magicly, one time it seems to be doing what you want automaticly, the other time you can try a few times without moving anything. > > - It doesn't save changes I made to the layout of the screen.

This is also not the case anymore in the last release. I also wasn't saying all of those issues are serious. > I just suggest starting with a fresh amarok profile. I can't try that, but somehow doubt this is going to fix anything in the long run. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
