Hi there. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (with GNOME 2.30.2, not KDE). I've recently installed Amarok 2.3.0, and I'm hoping it will end my past dependence of iTunes.

I seem to have some trouble, however, importing stats from my old iTunes library. I searched and read around for some time, but cannot seem to find a solution.

When I try to import, I don't even get an "unable to import statistics", but merely a blank window. I ran from the console and I saw a whole lot of this:

amarok: got track info: "World Crisis Sample" "Oren Productions" "" -1 -1 "file:///C:/Users/Cerapter/Music/VG%20Remix/Oren%20Productions%20-%20World%20Crisis%20Sample.mp3"
amarok: [ERROR!] Tried to perform escape() on uninitialized MySQL
amarok: [ERROR!] Tried to perform query on uninitialized MySQL
amarok: not a track no match
amarok: [ERROR!] Tried to perform escape() on uninitialized MySQL
amarok: [ERROR!] Tried to perform query on uninitialized MySQL

Do you know how I could fix this?

You apparently have no reachable MySQL database. I strongly suggest you upgrade to Amarok 2.3.2, see also http://kubuntu.org/news/amarok-232-backports-ppa

Thanks for the advice. I upgraded, and I got myself a database. This got rid of the SQL errors. However, I still get these:

amarok: got track info: "Op.23, no.30. Whitsun hymn Oh Blessed Morn" "Grieg, Edvard" "" 1978 -1 "file:///C:/Users/Cerapter/Music/Grieg,%20Edvard/Peer%20Gynt/Grieg,%20Edvard%20-%20Peer%20Gynt%20(Incidental%20Music)%20Cd2%20-%20Op.23,%20no.30.%20Whitsun%20hymn%20Oh%20Blessed%20Morn.mp3"
amarok: not a track no match

I could imagine that this is due to the paths given in the iTunes playlist. I have created a symlink in my root folder that links to C:/ on my Windows partition, but perhaps Amarok doesn't follow this? In the file browser, it shows the folder, but upon double clicking, claims the folder does not exist.

EDIT: I did a search and replace on the iTunes library file to avoid the colon in the path. This fixed the issue.
