Sounds like just a case of having a huge playlist! I believe there are MySQL updates on the upcoming Amarok 1.4.6, but I'm not sure if that will affect playlist storing and opening. It looks like your HDD test shows it to be clearly a CPU problem, and something that could be within the realm of Amarok devs being able to fix.
Until that comes out, I'd say start with fewer files in the playlist and then add the rest later. I wonder if this two-step Amarok startup would take less time than the 60sec of starting with the playlist already full. -- amarok uses 100% CPU for 60sec at startup in gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for amarok in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
