In my system amarok does not index the folders of music in spite of indications - the indexing process starts, but consumes the entire memory resources

It sounds as if you might have some missing MySql packages, which are used for the database internally. Also required is libmysqld compiled with fPIC. I'm not sure what they would be called in Mageia - you might ask your packagers.

Also, you might try running amarokcollectionscanner from the console, when Amarok isn't running, and see what sort of output you get. http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Batch_Mode for more details.

I was not actually all files mysql - thanks!

Piotrekw1, what files were you lacking? I ask so that others searching the forum might find the answer they need. Also, please tip off your Mageia packagers to fix up the package.

Thanks!

Missing mysql-workbrench!

Don't think, that the problem was caused by missing MySQL workbench application. This app has nothing, but really nothing to do with amarok. Probably there were missing packages installed, because of dependancies.
