I've been reading some articles but they don't seem to help. I've been trying to set up amarok however it hangs on Building Collection Database. I was able to add load them directly to the playlist although i didn't check if they worked all the songs were their before i cleared them. They are on my ntfs windows partion and I had originally thought through little research the sqlite was having an issue with it in which i changed to postgresql. I honestly don't even know what they are but I have heard the names before mysql sqligte etc. anyway can anyone assist me with this problem.

Is their an obvious fix to this issue i'm unable to see?

is it worth mentioning that the partion the music is on is ntfs?

Please provide more information. What Amarok version?

It actually finished building this morning but isn't it a bit unsusual to take so long to gather all the songs in one folder

I'm using postgresql
Amarok version 1.4.10 build date August 15, 2008
kde version 3.5.10
2119 tracks a couple 100 missing

using ntfs-3g able to read write and modify files in dolphin without root authentication

~2000 tracks shouldn't take long to scan.. a few minutes maximum on a modern computer. So that's a bit odd if it took very long. Maybe NTFS-3G isn't well optimized for this task.

Anyway, glad to hear that it worked out in the end.

thx according to the file manager however i'm missing a couple of tracks unsure what they are however and i double checked and the only files in the folder are music files from mpeg4, WAV to mpeg layer 3 and CD audio any suggestions
[edit]
it seems as though CD audio and WAV don't get loaded however the WAV files are able to play on amarok, but tells me in context that its not part of the collection and if it should add the fodler even though all music is in the same folder

WAV files do not have any meta-data, so there is little we could "scan" from them. You might want to convert to FLAC, which is a lossless compression format that fully supports meta-data.
