Hi,

I just moved from OSX/GNOME to KDE (4.3.4) and trying to find replace for my old software. Biggest problem is iTunes. I have thousands of mp4 files and they are all rated (1-5 stars). I also like the look of iTunes, it's easy to use. Not too much information and everything is saved in the file, like cover art.

I managed to move my old iTunes library to Songbird. Everything seems to work ok, cover arts from mp4 files, rating etc. Songbird even looks like iTunes. But Songbird is not integrated in any way to KDE, like Amarok is for example. That is very big minus and because of that Songbird is not very usable.

Is there any way to move Songbird/iTunes library to Amarok, so that the cover arts from mp4 files work and rating is imported? If not, is this a feature for the future versions of Amarok?

(Sorry about the language, english is not my native.)

You should be able to import your iTunes statistics into Amarok. Open Amarok > Settings > Configure Amarok > Collection > Import Statistics, and follow the wizard.

I tried this, but it does not work. After some time, importing just freeze.



I have tried to import iTunes library several times, but it freezes always at the same place. After some time 'Quit' button is activated. But Amarok library is still empty.

I use Arch Linux and the Amarok 2.2.2.

It will help if you run Amarok from the console. Use

Code: Select all

amarok -d --nofork

Then you can tell what's happening during the scan, and paste the output here.

Here is the output, when import freezes.
