Re: [newbie] amaroK 1.2 final
I compiled this package with debug off, but if you really want to get to the bottom of this, I could make you a special package with debug on and then help you run it from within gdb so the devs can get a proper backtrace on your problem. Let me know if you want to do that. Thanks Greg, From reading up on the net, I followed someones advice of going to the last entry in the collection_scan.log. This was an mp3, but it was only 54K, and contained less than one second of audio. I deleted this and performed the scan with no problems. Amarok is (almost) perfect again, but if my installling the 'debug on' version is of any use to you or the developers, I'm happy to help. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Since it was the mp3 file that caused the error, it might not be worthwhile to do any more. At this point, any info would go into simply making taglib and/or amarok crash more gracefully for instances of whatever error your mp3 had. -- /g Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have not had a problem with the app crashing while scanning a collection. Many of the problems I did have were in fact solved by upgrading taglib to 1.3.1. It is possible that your tags have a few problems (non-standard elements may be a better term) that is causing taglib to crash. If you run amarokapp from the command line, is there anyoutput from the crash?

Re: [newbie] amaroK 1.2 final
The guys that developed it have created a really cool app that IMHO runs rings around anything else that currently exists. I think so too. The streamed music is great if you want to hear something different. I havent listened to music on the radio in ages! I used to use a combination of players eg. xmms / kaffeine / mplayer. Now I only use Amarok (for audio). There is some talk of making amaroK support video playback and I am not in favor of that. amaroK shouldn't become an operating system, it should be the best audio player it can be. I agree totally. Projects that take this route generally fall down between two stools satisfying nobody really, and eventually being replaced with individual specialized apps.

Kinda wanted to get away from aRts since I don't run KDE. Amarok itself is a KDE app. Yeah, thats why I like Mandrake, it's choices and integration of different packages using these different environments. Running Fluxbox actually, and I was using Juk, tho' now being a convert to amarok, it reminds me of Musicmatch .. on the other OS. They did a nice job on it, I like the cover manager, nice work ;) Never had that before .. There's a plugin for XMMS that does the same thing... CD Cover or something equally obvious, IIRC. Yeah, I've used xmms also and I have some really cools skins for it, like a Marshall cabinet and stack amp, but it was spikin the cpu when it was iconified, so I moved to juk. Anyway, I like amarok, gonna keep playing it.. thx for the tip ;) -- RickS gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.keyserver.net 0x24AABE61 Why does slow down and slow up mean the same thing? -- Why Why Why n°33 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
