Hi folks! :-) I am trying to migrate from XMMS to Amarok, with the hope of improved functionality and ease of dealing with my music collection.
So I have a very trivial problem: my music collection is now on a http server. How do I get Amarok to make a collection database out of that, short of downloading all that to a local disk? The very point of having all the files on a http server is that I *don't* want to have them on a local disk. So I want Amarok to create a database of the files present on the server, from which I can later create playlists. The music would stay on the server, and Amarok would read the files over http and play them one by one. I can do all this trivially with, say, mplayer --- I just need a text file containing lines of http://www.myserver.com/music.mp3, and it would play if I do a "mplayer -playlist myplaylist.txt". What I want is to do the equivalent in Amarok, since I expect to have a better UI regarding the order of files, shuffle&repeat stuff, etc. Amarok doesn't appear to have a "load playlist from a txt file" kind of option. N.B. I've been using Amarok for about 20 minutes total, so please tell me that I have missed something really obvious. ;-) :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
