I submitted a bug on this (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133319), but i'm curious to know if anyone else has experianced this or can duplicate this.

I backed up my postgresql amarok database via pg_dump.  I installed amarok 1.4.2 and encountered the database problems others are experiencing. I removed 1.4.2 and reinstalled 1.4.1. I dropped the database and created a new one giving all privileges to the user that amarok logs in with.  I imported the saved 1.4.1 database back into the new db.

I browse the data in the Statistics table and see that there are some 3k records.  I close my postgresql session. I fire up amarok and play a track that according to the Statistics table i have played 20 times. Amarok tells me it has never been played before. I stop the track and close amarok. Looking at the table i see that it now has a playcount of 1.

While i see why Amarok would write out the playcount and playdate info on exiting, why is Amarok not reading in the Statistics table of a new database?

I have seen the same behavior with Mysql. I am using postgresql  8.1.4.

Thank you.
