Hello there debian fans,
Well I am using KDE4.2 since it was uploaded in experimental. I am happy
with it. I am also using amarok (from experimental)
and I have some problems to discuss.
Well first of all (as you can see in the subject of this message)
there's a prob on playback. Many tracks(mp3's only, ogg's seem to work
perfectly) just don't start playing. At first I thought the tracks were
corrupt or something, but everything is ok with other players. So what
do you think?? A problem with xine maybe?? Well, I know this list is for
reporting packaging problems but I thought it was a good idea to discuss
this matter with other users.
Secondly there's a problem with the indexing of my music collection. I
have figured out that some tracks are missing. Also amarok doesn't
"read" the ID3tags correctly and tracks are added in a complete wrong
order (for example metallica tracks under a different artist--lol:p) or
the tags get completely wiped out so the tracks go to various
artists->unknown->bla bla. To tell the truth most of the tracks are
correctly indexed.
At last I think it is ok for amarok (and KDE in general) to have bugs as
it is in a transitional period, but the things I talked above shouldn't
exist in a version so called "stable" by the developing team. Well,
let's just say that I can tolerate these things because I know how
things work on foss, or because I am a fan because because..., but what
would a newcomer say if he was in my (our I suppose) place?? I'm waiting
for your opinion on this.
Thanks,
John
PS: I want to mention that I am not trying to offend anyone. Especially
the developing team and the people that do the packaging. They deserve
only congratulations. :)
