Hi,

I never encountered this type of a behavior before while using Amarok. I have a folder which contains a jazz album of flac files. While playing these files, Amarok displays the title of songs one by one as expected, but the displayed title is the last song of the whole album for each and every song. I double checked the tags, re-typed them both with EasyTag and Amarok with no change in behavior. I have other albums encoded with flac codec, they play and display fine. Any ideas or suggestions here?

Displayed where? Can you post a screenshot of the behaviour? This sounds unusual.

Here is a screenshot. The songs listed as "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" are all actually different songs. When you right click them and check the titles, you will see they have different titles; only the last one actually is the song named "I Can't Get No Satisfaction". When you initially drag the album to the playlist, you can actually see the real titles of these songs listed. However when Amarok starts playing the first song of the album "This Meets That", the name is converted to "I Can't Get No Satisfaction". Eventually all songs' titles from that album are converted to the same name, although they actually are not renamed. The small window that appears on the screen when a new song is starting to play also displays this very same title: "I Can't Get No Satisfaction".

Could I make myself clear? I am happy to give you more information, or provide any help to identify this annoying problem. I am using Amarok 1.4.7 on KDE 3.5.7 with Mandriva 2008.

Weird, I'm tipping something flac related, but I don't use them, so I can't give you any clues. Maybe someone with the same distro can offer more.

I just had the same problem but with an mp3-album. There were one .cue-file and .log-file in the album folder so I tried removing them and that solved the problem. I don't know which one of the files that caused the problem I though..

Oh good point - probably the .cue file causing strangeness.
