Hi everyone.
I recently updated from amarok-1.94 to amarok-2.0 on gentoo. Everything seems to work nice except that all my playlists which I had nicely sorted into folders according to composers are gone now. Strangely, in .kde/share/apps/amarok there is still a file playlistbrowser_save.xml which seems to contain all relevant information while the subfolder playlist is empty. I also tried deleting the whole amarok folder, letting amarok rebuild the whole collection. In this case I find all playlists, but of course they are not sorted into folders according to composers. I don't really want to sort more than hundred playlists again! Any ideas what to do?

I'm not sure if this would help you, but Amarok SVN (to become 2.0.1) allows to sort your _collection_ by composer now.

This is especially important for fans of classical music. Would that help you too?

I'm not sure if this really helps. First of all, it depends on how amarok recognizes the composer of each ogg-file. For now, my collection basically is built up the following way:
basic directory/composer/work title/CD number - Title number - what ever I get during ripping.ogg
In each work title subdirectory there is an additional m3u playlist. I must admit that so far I never used the colelction, because it lists every single CD as a seperate item and since I did not take much care during ripping, I find different disks of a single opera under completely different entries. Furthermore it is not very practical to have three entries for the three disks of an opera.

So do I get it right that the information about the sorting of my playlists into different folders in amarok got lost in the transition from 1.94 to 2.0?
