Well, if all this was true for everyone, it could justify serious, but now even important is way too much.

Tried wiping out the whole database from ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok ?

Is your ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok or ~/.kde/share/config/amarok* non-writable? I don't know how to explain this otherwise.

There are some problems with cover art which have been fixed in 2.3. > There are probably various other things that I'm forgetting now. I just suggest starting with a fresh amarok profile. -- Modestas Vainius <[email protected]>
