And by that, I mean say goodbye to an historical (read: old) bug. I’d heard these whispers recently about “whenever I add or remove an album from the collection and do an incremental update, my collection gets messed up.” Okay — we’ve heard these whispers for a long time, but there were so many other [...]

A bit ago I blogged about how Amarok File Tracking can now use MusicBrainz identifiers to do its stuff. Then, a little while later, I started getting bug reports of peoples’ music disappearing from their collection, and requested some of the reporters send me some files. One of the users did so, and I found [...]
Continue Reading →I’m pleased as punch/as a fat cat/etc. to point you to The Dot (specifically here) to see the official announcement and some details. More details will be forthcoming soon (and especially as we get the web site in order). Start clearing your schedule and working on your presentations!

A heads-up: Amarok File Tracking can now use MusicBrainz track identifiers for its embedded IDs. This means people that have used Picard to tag their files but not amarok_afttagger can still get some embedded AFT goodness! It also enables an interesting "mode" because it essentially enables song tracking vs. actual file tracking (which you may [...]
Continue Reading →Many KDE developers are on Facebook. A while back I wondered if it would be possible to have an official KDE developers’ network on Facebook — after all, there are networks for schools, jobs, cities, and more (and for many developers, KDE is literally or figuratively a job…) As it turned out, there was a [...]

I’ve done some work in trunk over the past week that may have a huge impact on many of you Amarokers. Read on, and if you can do some benchmarks for me, fantastic. First, the schema/table changes. We’ve seen some issues where people have, for whatever reason, ended up with InnoDB tables instead of MyISAM [...]
Continue Reading →Today at the Akademy General Meeting, it was mentioned that Gitorious.org is being seriously looked at as a hosting solution for our Git repositories (as opposed to running an instance of Gitorious ourselves). Since I have been a major part of pushing in that direction, I feel that it would be prudent to make sure [...]

Yes, another one of my semi-habitual posts about AFT. Just a short one though. In revision 992942, I finally fixed a bug that has kept AFT working for the playlist in certain situations (although it had previously been working for both saved user playlists and statistics). This means that if you have a track in [...]

We told you it was coming. Sure, that was a while back, so you probably thought we forgot about it. Or maybe you thought we were simply playing politics, tossing empty promises to our users. Well…you were wrong. It may be a bit later than planned — we wanted to have it in time for [...]

A heads-up on something new in Amarok SVN (and coming in 2.2 for those of you not living on the bleeding edge): We’ve had various bug reports over the years relating to character sets and collation, causing issues with matching searches for music or mis-sorted items. Well, hopefully no longer. When you update to 2.2 [...]
