That's a common complaint about amarok lately. The devs reckon they must use multi-user mysql because it's almost impossible to get sqlite to do it properly and totally impossible to get it to do it remotely. This puzzles me. How many users out their use their music player in multi-user mode with a collection db on a remote machine? Apart from LTSP installs, I'll bet it's none. And LTSP is better off using mpd, so why didn't the amarok devs simply include mpd support? To answer your question, does Settings -> Collection -> enable check box & fill in bottom half of dialog do what you want? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
