Package: amarok Version: 2.3.1-1 Severity: wishlist This bug is not specific to Amarok. Most people listen to rock, country, .... And there is a common set of metadata which seems describe those songs well. And part of this is a mechanism of coming up with file names based upon the metadata.
Classical music tends to be more complex than these rules allow. And what can happen, is that you end up with multiple DIFFERENT songs, that all have the same name according to whatever naming convention is chosen. It would be nice if Amarok (and every other music player), would warn users of different songs which apparently get described in exactly the same way (in terms of title/artist/...). The eventual solution is to come up with metadata rules which are designed for classical music, and then map a subset of them to all the popular music. I'm not holding my breath this ever happens. As this is mostly to get the information into the system, feel free to close the bug immediately. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages amarok depends on: ii amarok-common 2.3.1-1 architecture independent files for ii amarok-utils 2.3.1-1 utilities for Amarok media player ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1 runtime components from the offici ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.21.2-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libgcrypt11 1.4.5-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpod4 0.7.93-0.3 library to read and write songs an ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkdnssd4 4:4.4.5-1 the DNS-SD Protocol Library for th ii libkfile4 4:4.4.5-1 the File Selection Dialog Library ii libkio5 4:4.4.5-1 the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libknewstuff2-4 4:4.4.5-1 the "Get Hot New Stuff" v2 Library ii libknewstuff3-4 4:4.4.5-1 the "Get Hot New Stuff" v3 Library ii libkutils4 4:4.4.5-1 various utility classes for the KD ii liblastfm0 0.4.0~git20090710-1 The Last.fm web services library ii libloudmouth1-0 1.4.3-5 Lightweight C Jabber library ii libmtp8 1.0.3-1 Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) libr ii libmysqlclient16 5.1.49-2 MySQL database client library ii libphonon4 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 the core library of the Phonon mul ii libplasma3 4:4.4.5-1 the Plasma Library for the KDE Pla ii libqca2 2.0.2-1 libraries for the Qt Cryptographic ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-network 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 network module ii libqt4-script 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 script module ii libqt4-sql 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 SQL module ii libqt4-svg 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 SVG module ii libqt4-webkit 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 WebKit module ii libqt4-xml 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 GUI module ii libqtscript4-core 0.1.0-3 Qt Script bindings for the Qt 4 Co ii libqtscript4-gui 0.1.0-3 Qt Script bindings for the Qt 4 Gu ii libqtscript4-networ 0.1.0-3 Qt Script bindings for the Qt 4 Ne ii libqtscript4-sql 0.1.0-3 Qt Script bindings for the Qt 4 SQ ii libqtscript4-uitool 0.1.0-3 Qt Script bindings for the Qt 4 Ui ii libqtscript4-xml 0.1.0-3 Qt Script bindings for the Qt 4 XM ii libsolid4 4:4.4.5-1 Solid Library for KDE Platform ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libstreamanalyzer0 0.7.2-1+b1 streamanalyzer library for Strigi ii libstreams0 0.7.2-1+b1 streams library for for Strigi Des ii libtag-extras1 1.0.1-3 TagLib extras library - support fo ii libtag1c2a 1.6.3-1 TagLib Audio Meta-Data Library ii libthreadweaver4 4:4.4.5-1 the ThreadWeaver Library for the K ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii phonon 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 metapackage for the Phonon multime ii phonon-backend-gstr 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 Phonon GStreamer 0.10.x backend ii phonon-backend-xine 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 Phonon Xine 1.1.x backend ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages amarok recommends: ii kdemultimedia-kio-plugins 4:4.4.5-1 transparent audio CD access for ap Versions of packages amarok suggests: ii libqt4-sql-mysql 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 MySQL database driver pn libqt4-sql-psql <none> (no description available) ii libqt4-sql-sqlite 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 SQLite 3 database driver ii libxine1-ffmpeg 1.1.19-2 MPEG-related plugins for libxine1 pn moodbar <none> (no description available) Versions of packages amarok is related to: ii phonon-backend-gstr 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 Phonon GStreamer 0.10.x backend ii phonon-backend-xine 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 Phonon Xine 1.1.x backend -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
