Hi
I compiled amarok 2.0.9 version of amarok from the tarball...(compiled as non-debug version) I m impressed with the improvements...but im having problems with transfering files to and from the ipod, using amarok. i can see my ipod being detected in "media devices" section and there are 3 buttons(ipod icon,playlist icon and playlist with a red cross icon), but when i click on either of the 3 nothing happens... i dont understand what to do next. ... when i right-clik and select media-device settings, i get a kde setting window, asking me to set-up a shortcut key... what should i do next...i m able to tranfer files from and to ipod using gtkpod...and i was able to do it using amarok 1.4.10 but i would like to do this using amarok 2.1b
i m on fedora10...and i compiled amarok2.1 against libgpod 0.6... if theres any other info you want just ask... --------------Last.fm Problem------------------ i have configured my last.fm account on amarok...when i click on test login it shows as success, but when i play my songs, it does not submit them to last.fm....any idea why? i have ticked both submit tracks and retrive similar artists options.... i can tell that its not a network problem, because the lyrics, wikipedia work and the album art immediately gets fetched from amazon....and other intenet services like shoutcast and podcast dir work thanks...

First of all: 2.0.9 is not 2.1beta1, because 2.1beta1 depends on libgpod4 aka version 0.7.
When you plug in your iPod, you should get a second collection called iPod at Now you can copy files to/from your collection/iPod by right clicking on Artist/Album/Track and selecting copy to collection...->Local/iPod. That's all. Greetings m0nk

firstly it IS 2.1beta1 as said here...although they give the 2.0.9 version, i thought, that the version number of 2.1beta1
http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download:Source having said so...i think i will try to re-compile it against the libgpod 0.7 version... secondly, i dont get any new items in collections...

You're right. I was confused by 2.0.9, but it's 2.0.90 and build requires libgpod 0.7 (refering to amarok instructions). Anyway, take a look here:
http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php/topic,16959.0.html This is from Amarok SVN (Changelog calls it 2.1-beta2), built against libgpod 0.7 under openSUSE 11.1. Greetings m0nk

Last.fm is/was broken. It shows success, even if scrobbling doesn't work. Because I'm using SVN-Version since the disappointing 2.0.2 release, scrobbling is working here.
The theme is the KDE style Bespin. In its configuration dialog, you can "bespinify" Amarok, too. It has some cool features: A button to close the middle pane (the brackets right of the timeline) A nicer volume control Cover art by clicking on the preview in the upper right corner Mini player by clicking on the dot right from the timeline ....

thanks for the infos Dieter Schroeder...you earned some good karma points!
 just one more question, if i may ask... when i tried to make bespin for myself...i got these errors...
it seems to me that its a Qt issue. so can you please tell me what Qt packages and which version of those packages you have installed on your SuSE? and can you tell me your version of kdebase?

Don't know which distro you're using, but it seems, that your installation misses some KDE4 headers (kdecoration.h & kdecorationfactory.h). On SuSE they are in kdebase4-workspace-devel.
Nevertheless I've Qt 4.5 and KDE 4.2.2 installed. And thx for the karma  Greetings m0nk

i have fedora-10...i was kinda stressed yesterday...so i didnt notice that i could simply disable kwin and xbar during configuration...LOL
after posting about the problem, i disabled the kwin and xbar and installed it ... this time it worked... and i also checked and i dont have the devel files installed...you might be right...i will install the devel files again and try to make again with everything enabled... thanks for your help again...  I m on Fedora-10 btw
