I'm using Kubuntu 9.04.
The collection is aming only to local files, no way to point the collection to network.
But in files i can open the samba-shared music-folders. But amarok does not add nor plays them.
After copying the mp3 to the local music-folder (which is definately not an option) amarok plays the mp3 and even loads the appropriate cover.

Any ideas about that strange behavior?

Same problem here? Also using Kubuntu 9.04. Could this be a Kubuntu bug?
