Suggested Songs not showing

Tue Mar 14, 2006 10:25 pm
The suggested songs feature of the Context browser isn\'t showing up for me. Under the current tab I just have the current song, favourite tracks by that artist, and albums by that artist.
I have last.fm setup and have Retrieve similar artists checked off. How can I get the suggested feature to show up? The lyrics and artist info from wikipedia work, so I\'m guessing it\'s not a network connection issue.

Amarok 1.3.8

Kubuntu 5.10 breezy

Turn on \'retrieve similar artists\' to get suggested songs.

I do have it turned on. I guess I worded that a little strange in my first post, I meant to say that I have the check box for \'Retrieve Similar Artists\' checked.

:)
in that case, it could be that the you are the only one listening to the artists you\'re playing.
go to the last.fm site and check that artist actually has recommendations available. If not, start spreading the word and get other people listening to them! It may also be that you don\'t have any tracks by any of the recommended artists in your collection. amaroK will only show tracks that you actually have under this heading.
Happy hunting :)

Thanks for the help so far, but I\'m still having some trouble.
last.fm is giving me recommendations, since most of the songs I\'m listening to are pretty common (Rolling Stones, Oasis, Beatles, etc..), and a lot of the recommendations are in my collection.
When I ran the klik version of amaroK on knoppix, this worked fine (using the same music collection on my ntfs partition), but when I switched over to kubuntu and amaroK 1.3.8 it didn\'t work anymore.
Any ideas? I\'m loving everything about amaroK, just wish I could get this working.

Just a quick update, the suggested songs dynamic playlist works fine. So amarok is getting recommendations from last.fm, but for some reason it isn\'t showing them in the context menu.
