No, you're not the only one. My amarok has been giving me grief as well. I used to use the xine engine, which worked like a dream, now that's entirely broken and I must use the gstreamer engine, which, imo, is dreadfully slow. Track changes take a few seconds. > Any advice for me? Here's the best I can do, as I'm also a bit confused by amarok's wretched behavior: QUICK SOLUTION: killall amarokapp rm ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok restart amarok -- set the engines as you wish. repeat until you find an engine that works. SAFE SOLUTION: killall amarokapp then, some ideas -> modify ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc to use another engine, keep trying other options until you find one that works. strace amarok -- watch debugging output (wasn't very helpful for me, but it's a thought) rm ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/xine-config I had to do this a few times, as the xine config was corrupt (or something) causing amarok to bomb.
