Hi,

is musicbrainz support still available in amarok? I have installed the libmusicbrainz and libmusicbrainz-devel RPMs in SUSE 10 beta 1, but the configure script does not appear to say anything about musicbrainz. (config.log does not contain the word musicbrainz either.)

When amarok is running, the button for filling the meta data with musicbrainz is gray.

Or have I missed something?

You missed libtunepimp

Same Problem here
OpenSuSE 10 with amaroK 1.3.2 from suser-guru
libtunepimp and libmusicbrainz both installed.
K3b can access MusicBrainz but amaroK not.

The button for filling the meta data with musicbrainz is accessable but pops an error \"Keine Daten in der MusicBrainz Datenbank\" .

I\'ve got the same Problem with (K)Ubuntu.
I\'ve found this bug report http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93266

libtunepimp in Kubuntu is not compiled against libmad, so musicbrainz does not work for MP3 files due to patent issues. It works fine for Ogg files. We would need either patent reform or a libtunepimp that worked with dlopened plugins which could be separated into a separate package to get round this.

Maybe this also fits with suse.

That message basically says \"file not found in musicbrainz database\". that means that its connecting successfully---it\'s just not getting any matches. the file is not in the db. not your, or your computer\'s, fault.

nah.

This is the same as the kubuntu problem.

It\'s not that it doesn\'t exist, its that its not compiled against libmad due to all the stupid restrictions.

This is definitely the problem with opensuse 10.0, too. But there\'s a way around it: get the source package for libtunepimp, rpmbuild -bb it, and there will be a libtunepimp-mad package which provides a mad-based plugin for mp3 support. Then musicbrainz works on suse.

Yaehh B)
That IS the trick !
many thnx

You can also download the rpm (for SuSE) at:

aumuell and kuede thanks. You Rock!

Excuse me, but i am not familiar with rpmbuild -bb and i need to compile/repackage the sources in order to make them available for x86-64 systems in linux

Can you explain to me how can this be achieved? or do you know where to find the respective packages for Suse 10?

Thanks for your help
