Bug Description

If i have scanned my collection of my hdd usb drive (ntfs because need it in windows to ) then i see artist and album information but no track information and then i can't play it, even if you try to add the album it wont be in playlist to play. If i search that same song in file tab it plays and i can see track information and change tag information.

Don't know if i can report it because i couldn't see all information when i selected amarok2 in package search. It only shows broken information and dunno how i can read the rest of that informaton. looks important but noway to know what is typed this way ;-)

Kubuntu intrepid alpha 5, updated

Are you implying that the track information is not displayed only when the file is stored on an NTFS partition (i.e., track information is displayed when copied to an ext3 partition)?

What type of file(s) exhibit this symptom? What does a tagger (e.g., ex falso, easytag) reveal about the file?

File types are MP3, i copied several to an ext3 partition and also get some new ones on ext3 but it have the same behavior. I can see artis under artist i see album and then you need to see the tracks in that album, that i don't see. If i drag a album to play list it normal show the tracks it going to play but also that doesn't work. Easytag show tag information mpeg 1 layer III and the tag information. The tag information i can see also in amarok if i search the MP3 in file tab it also play's then

Wauw, a lot of other random crashes dissapeared too. Now it's actually very usable, i'm very happy with it :-).
