Hello

My problem is that Amarak doesn't end the collection building. It freeze at 56%. But when I select just a part of my music, it  work verry good.
I have a big collection of music (around 13 000 titles).

Is there a solution for that problem?

Thank, and I'm sorry but my english isn't verry good 

Hi Forum...

I have the same issue.. running amarok 1.4.8...I'm stock at 66 % but I only have 11000 numbers...

Regards Michael

I got almost the same problem. If I include all the collection, (+- 30000) it never completes building the collection, amarokcollectionscanner enters into a loop. With fewer directories, it completes the recursive scan with no problem. Even with command line (amarokcollectionscanner -r /data) it does not buld the entire collection.
I am using amarok 1.4.5, kde 3.5.7 release 43.1 on Suse 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.8-0.8-default.

Please search the forum/FAQ; solutions have been posted numerous times.

That's right. This problem has been posted, but it is not well defined on faq. Amarok do not finish its build, in fact. Reading the explanation of the problem on faq, one could believe it finishes the building proccess. So, as it is posted on faq, may cause confusion, for newbies. I believe it can be useful to copy the pointed solution (it works to me!), so, here it goes:
Look at the file ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/collection_scan.log. It should contain single file name. If that name does not change for some time, try moving the file out of your collection directory and restart the scan.

Oh my eborges-  I joined the forum simply to thank you!!  I've been searching on and off for months to figure this out!!  The funny thing is-  I have a duplicate of my collection on a portable hard drive and it woks FLAWLESSLY on my LinuxMint box, but I could NEVER find the file that gave me issues on my Ubuntu box... which are pretty much the exact same except my Ubuntu box is 64bit and LinuxMint is 32bit.

Big thanks!!!

Thing is though, that file *should* be the last successfully scanned track, not the track currently being scanned.

Could a dev confirm please?

No, the latter is true. Which makes sense, if you think about it.
