I just installed kubuntu 9.10 and want to try amarok 2.2. Unfortunately it hangs at 16 % when scanning my music collection. My collection is on an NTFS disk if it might provide some hints.

Any suggestion to what might be wrong?

Did you search the forum?

Try with the keywords 'Amarok NTFS', it gives me non less than a hundred matches.

For all practical reasons NTFS is a perfectly normal filesystem (supports all important features), so it's probably not related to that.

I tried to search but I couldn't find any help. WHen I start Amarok from terminal, I get a lot of these:

TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate

What does that mean?

It doesn't mean anything, for all practical purposes. TagLib prints warnings like these all the time.

Ok, then it seems the scanner goes on for a while and then just suddenly stops.
Any other ideas what might fix the problem?
I would really like to try the new Amarok soon, the old one, 1.4, is definitely my favourite music player of all time, but Amarok 2 seems to be good also.
