Hello!

I use amarok like that:
1) At home, on a Linux (Open SUse) system, play ma MP3 library from my local NAS
2) At work, on a Windows 7, play MP3 from an external harddisk

I would like to synchronize my MP3 between my NAS and my external disk (MP3 tags, folder structure)

What's the better way?

Ma first idea is to synchronise with FullSync, to report all changes.

But I notice that when I set a note (Score) in Amarok, this tag isn't written in the file tag!
That's not good for my file-synchro!

many thanks for your help

First of all: what Amarok version and Linux distribution version do you use? Since Amarok 2.7 you can use tag synchronization, improved in 2.8. For more information, please see http://userbase.kde.org/Amarok/Manual/O ... ronization

I use Amarok 2.7 on Windows 7 and Open Suse 12.3.

What do the synchronisation function? It write the score to the file?

Is it possible to directly edit the tag in the file ?

At work I use Amarok on Windows, so the external drive is NTFS file format

I suggest you upgrade to Amarok 2.8 first, as 2.7 is quite far away from our current codebase, and there have been quite some improvements since. It is available for both Opensuse and Windows.

I just did it, for WIndows.

same problem: the tags are not saved to the file

Do you have the option "write ratings to file" enabled in the Amarok settings? Because the default is not to write these to the file, so you need to enable it specifically.

Yes I do!

I use Amarok in french, but don't think it's the problem...

Correction:

now it seems to work.

I open the mp3 in an other player and I can see my writting test!

It is a known feature deficiency that enabling "Write statistics to files" only writes the newly changed statistics, not already existing stats of all your tracks. It should be possible to write a script to do that.
