Public bug reported: Binary package hint: amarok
The hard drive containing my home directory died, and my only backups are months old. My bad. All of the amarok metadata about my music collection, added in those months, has been lost. To prevent similar from happening, Amarok should store metadata in the id3 of the mp3s that it is playing. This would include at least rating / score, but possibly also play count, etc. An added benefit to this would be that if you access the same music from another computer (say, if the music is on a shared drive), Amarok will pick up the ratings that you made, and you won't have to go through the hacky way that is recommended to export the database. I'm not saying that the database shouldn't be present, as obviously it is the fastest way to access metadata about a collection, just that the data should also be kept *with* the music (if not in the id3, then as hidden files within the directories.) ** Affects: amarok (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Amarok should store metadata with/in music https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/165036 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
