Hello paul I'm sorry you're having problems with amarok's collection scanner. There was a change made to the Amarok 1.4.5 packages that fixes issues with this. Could you please try upgrading from the 1.4.3 you have now to 1.4.5? Also, how many songs are in your collection?
http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.5.php Let me know if you have any problems with installing 1.4.5 ** Changed in: amarok (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Andrew Ash Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- amarok sucks at importing large collections. https://launchpad.net/bugs/84173 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
