I find when clicking on a new position in flac files, they scan very slowly or Amarok crashes

Also, i think the ID tags are not working.

Any recommendations for FLAC in Amarok.


Amarok
Version 2.2.0
Using KDE 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2)

Which Phonon backend are you using?

See System Settings > Multimedia or Amarok > Settings > Configure Amarok > Playback > Configure Phonon.

it says that "HDA NVidia (ALC861-VD Digital)" is failing so it's defaulting to PulseAudio.

I'm going to assume that you are using the "xine" backend, because these symptoms are typical of that.

Here's how you can fix it: Use the tool "metaflac" and add a "seek-table" (sometimes also called "seekpoints") to your FLAC files. Xine needs those for seeking properly (a known limitation).

Thanks! that's very helpful. I haven't added a seek table yet (have to read about setting blocks correctly), but it is a xine backend.
