Hi, I am using amarok 1.3.8. It started crashing on startup recently. The problem seems to be with my album covers.

When I delete the \'amazon\' table in my mysql database, amarok starts & works fine.

When I restore \'amazon\', however, amarok starts up, but aways has the little clock where the mouse is... I can see the amarokapp process running using the \'top\' command, it is using 98% of the cpu for a long long time... but it never seems to finish whatever it is doing & amarok cannot be used.

When I delete the \'amazon\' database it works fine again.

\'amazon\' has about 2500 records, they look something like this:

etc.


Can anyone help me to figure out what is going on? I would like to be able to restore my album covers.
