My Linux is on the version 6.06 Dapper, and new version of Amarok seems not avalable.
I have downloaded an ISO CD but it's the same version... :(

Where can I find it a new release supported for my OS ?
or a Depot to add to my Synaptic ??

Thank you.

Luc

> I installed the latest herd (and dist-upgraded to ensure I had the most up to date development build) and while nearly everything works, amarok doesn't seem to be able to recognize any tags in ogg vorbis files. It can play the files just fine, but when I go to edit track information, no tags are defined (it doesn't even know the track length!). On the amarok playlist window, files I drag in just have the file name shown, and the build collection function runs, but ends up not defining any songs in the collection. (almost certainly since the directory I point it to only has ogg vorbis files). Note: mp3s are read fine with all of their respective tags fully recognized.
