Hi:

I just did something really stupid - I uninstalled Amarok, without first backing up my collection (I was using SQLite), which contained ratings for like 1000's of songs.  I only realized all my ratings were gone after I reinstalled (I am now using MySQL).  Please, does anyone know how to get my ratings back?

I noticed a directory called 'undo' in the Amarok folder that's filled with XML files, would those help?

Thanks in advance,
Unbelievably Bone-headed

Anybody?

If you've deleted your collection database, then it's gone. Unless you've backed it up elsewhere you're just going to have to start again.
If you still have a file ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/collection.db then you might be able to extract the ratings information using sqlite tools, but I suspect that's a masterclass.

Hey:

I was looking around, and I found these xml files in an amarok folder whose names were all numbers (i.e., 17.xml, 20.xml, etc.).  It seems these may be regular back-ups that Amarok creates.  I looked through, at it appears to have some ratings information in there I will try to extract it from these files.

Cheers,

afaik those are playlist backups for the undo/redo menu item.
