Hi guys, could anyone please help me, addressing the issue that is not allowing amarok to save my playlists
![]() Everytime I try to save a playlist containing a bunch of MP3 files LOCALLY in one of my partitions (NTFS, mounted by ntfs-3g) amarok complains showing the following warning: [img]http://img01.yeuxverts.net/_images_/img01.10/i96oqp.k0d207.17gezc.png[/img] I feel like it's warning me that I can only save local files, like I would be taken some MP3 from other PC through the LAN or something like that. But all the files are been taken from the same partition were my music is stored. The owner of the files on that partition is 'root', however, I have all permissions enabled for my user on the whole partition, and amarok is the only application with the one I'm having problem. I have realized that I can save the playlists files in my home, what else could be causing this annoying problem ? Help please! ![]() |

Could be a problem with ntfs - support still seems to be half-arsed. Do you get the same message with files on different file systems? I'm a little confused - are you using the ntfs volume as the destination for the playlist file, or are the music tracks you're putting in the playlist on the ntfs volume... or both?
If you can save a playlist containing tracks from the ntfs volume into your home directory, then it's still probably a permissions issue.

Apparently the problem is solved now, yesterday I deleted and later reinstalled these packages:
... which allows me to have read/write permissions on my NTFS partitions. May be something got corrupted. Today I tried again to perform the same operation I had tried before and this time it worked. I was just loading a previously created playlist, and I was trying to add to that playlist more songs, then saving this playlist with a different name, and at this point was where the problem was appearing. Either the MP3 files and the playlists are stored on the same folder, on a NTFS partition. Thanks for showing interest in my problem. |
