I titled it 'Amarok problems' because I am guessing I will have several problems with this program. What do you recommend for a music player? I only know of this program and it's popular (I don't know why). I've had issues with it before but the one I'm having with in sidux is a new one.
I tried adding some music files on my data disk to Amarok (i.e. building a play list) but it will only play 30-50 seconds of the song and then it skips to the next one. It's most annoying.
I'm trying to fiddle with it but I think it's rather ridiculous that it is doing this.
If any Amarok users recognize this (bug?), please inform what the fix is.
I have no problem mounting or finding/playing mp3 files or anything but there is something wrong with playing entire songs currently. |

I couldn't even get as far as building the play list (was using mp3s). What format were the files in that you did manage to build a playlist from?
As a result of this I started using Juk - it's not real pretty, but does what little I want.
I'll be watching this thread - in the meantime have you heard of Ampache? Don't know whether it would be a solution to this particular problem or not.

Ampache is a LAMP application that gives you a Web interface to your music collection, allowing you to search, rate, and play your music over the network. It even offers transcoding support to allow clients to play back lossless-encoded FLAC files from the server and stream them to clients as MP3 audio files.

building a collection and building a playlist is 2 different things, at least the way i handle amarok.
when you start out, you build the database (sqlite is default database for that)
then you can build different playlists for your needs.

I don't have this problem at the moment on sidux (made a dist-upgrade yesterday evening, Amarok was and still is ok) but I have it with Audacious on Debian Lenny. I've had it with various players on various linux systems now and then, so it's probably not an Amarok's problem. |

Is it playing your files? Expanding on devil's post ^^:
- tell Amarok where to find them via Settings, Configure Amarok, Collection,
- build a collection via Tools, Rescan Collection,
- in the tab Collection, probably located on the left side of the screen, you should find the scanned files,
- drag them onto the main playlist screen, it should tell you file information (ID3 tags) and how long a track is,
- play them; if the length is greater than 50 seconds but it plays less then I don't have a clue what's wrong. |
