Okay, I took the nine files you gave me (m4a, mp3, and 6 .torrent files) and put them in a directory (along with the .tar.gz file too), and had Amarok scan it. No problems whatsoever. Scanning took an instant and the MP3 file showed up in the collection (the m4a file didn't, but it appears to have no metadata, or else I couldn't read it...it did play correctly though and I do know people with collections with many m4a files so I think that's a local issue).
So here's what I would do: 1) Move these files off of the ntfs-3g partition, and onto a normal ext3/reiser/etc partition. Put them in a folder there, configure Amarok to scan that folder as well, and see what happens. If it suddenly works, and moving them back to a folder on the ntfs-3g partition makes them not work again, then that narrows the problem down significantly. 2) Upgrade Amarok to 1.4.7 if you aren't running it already, or if no package is available pester your distro. Just cause, the latest version of Amarok is always the greatest :-) 3) If it still persists, try bugging for a new taglib snapshot...or check out the sources from SVN and build it yourself and see if that helps. If you've done all that and the problems not solved, I don't have any good answers for you by this point (use Gentoo? :-) ) -- Rebuilding collection eats up too much memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133554 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
