I'd suggest making sure that you write both "v1" and "v2" tags; and at a pinch, try "rebuild collection" in Amarok, just to see if you do have "old" tags cached as part of the playlist itself (if you have a saved playlist, rather than the "dynamic" collection playlist). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
