Yes, except for this understanding. You say "There's no way to only load mp3s," I understand that to mean that Amarok shows and finds everything in the dir tree yoy designate. My cunning plan is to rip and translate on an unlisted drive and only copy the mp3s to the Amarok area. That'll work, right? Now that I know that I'm responsible for loading the stuff into Amarok, I feel a new sense of control and freedom. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
