Hidden tracks on an album

Thu Aug 20, 2009 4:04 pm
I am not sure if it should be Amarok's job or if it should be handled by an external script.

Sometimes songs have another hidden song in the same file after a long pause. It sucks having to skip to the next song (or forward it) when the music stop.

It could be nice that when Amarok detect a long pause, it asks (later maybe) the user if he want to split the song in two files or it could add something like the position marker and auto-skip to there the next time the song is played. For a marker thing solution, it could be nice to auto-split the song in two files when syncing to ipod or others external mp3 player.

Again I am not sure if Amarok should care, hidden songs are not frequent.

Well, this is probably something for a script rather than to implement in Amarok itself. Also, keep in mind that Amarok doesn't handle sound itself, so you would have to solve this on a lower level.


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Thanks for the very fast reply.

I'll add this to my "maybe one day" list and in the meantime I'll split them manually.
