everytime when i open amarok the starting picture comes up but after a while it just disapears. than after about 20 -30 seconds an error mesage comes up, advising me to run it in prompt to see the error,
so i run amarok in prompt and this comes up:

[jimmy@OPOSSUM3 jimmy]$ amarok

ok, im a linux newb and dont know what to do now. Could anyone help me, cuz i really like amarok.
by the way, when i log in as root in kde and run amarok it works perfectly! :S
thanks!

Try moving any media files you in ~/ (or wherever the file browser was open to) to someplace else... sometimes this causes problems.

lol, thanks- but i managed to get it to work again by just goin into shell and type in \"amarok --wizard\" so i fixed the problem. i duno what the problem was. anyhow- thnaks anyway!
