I know this problem was befor in this forum, but the solution was to upgrad on the latest cvs version. Unfortunately I have the problem in the 1.1 version that under "Tracks on this album" I have sometimes more than 5 times the same track listed. Is there a way to reset the context database?

I also have the problem with double instances of the songs under the "Track of this album". The "[code:1]rm $KDEHOME/share/apps/amarok/collection.db[/code:1]. Restart." trick did not help. In fact, removing everything relating to amoraK in /opt/kde/... as well as in $HOME/.kde/..., re-compiling and re-installing did not help. My system is (almost) Slackware-current. I encountered the same problem in beta-2 and cvs, but not in beta-1. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

I'm having exactly the same problem, removing collection.db did nothing.
I didn't have this problem with 1.1 beta2.
Another strange thing : after deleting my .kde/amarok directory i still have cover images displayed in the context view ... Where are they stored ?

thanks

We have discovered that you will need to remove the amarokrc file to solve this problem.

It is caused by entries for directories to scan being present twice.

I'll add a bug fix for this before 1.1.1

thanks, by me it worked

I think I see now why I got the double entries:

Now In the Context menu, Amarok ask me to build a collection. When I click on "Click here to build one", I can choose the path to my music and some other funtions, but when I click on ok, it's look that nothing happen. I can't see a progressbar and amarok ask me still for building a collection.

The last time, I tryed to build a collection 3 or 4 times. This time I will wait for an hour and then restart amarok, I guess so it will work. But a progressbar would be nice...

P.S. I execute "rm $KDEHOME/share/apps/amarok/collection.db" as root and it worked.

unfortunately, that haven't worked....

so I deleted the database again and started amarok in the terminal
[code:1]amarok --wizard[/code:1]
now, in the context menu shows something like this "Building Database" and now it's look like it would work well. That mean, until know I haven't found double entries...
