I kind of figured as much to be honest! But seeing as I'm ignorant here 
I figured I'd ask and see if I was proved wrong!

The first time I ran the comand, it produced nothing but I called it a 
second time and it gave me some info.... I generally run a gnome 
environment, so perhaps the first call was just it initialising?, 
perhaps something to bear in mind when implementing tho'.....

Output below.

Hopefull I'll be able to start doing some Amaork based work a some point 
as I really like the program. I've got issues at the moment with the 
Wikipedia info not showing for artists/albums (other stuff like lyrics 
etc. is fine tho'), but I'm guessing that is in my distro's (Mandriva 
cooker) packaging of either Amarok or KDE.... I've opened a bug for this 
and will attempt to look into it.

Currently my development time is spend on MythTV and Kipi-Plugins 
(namely Gallery which I intend to make better once the current release 
is out of the way (and I can break the kipi API ;)).

Anyways just thought I'd half introduce myself too :)

Output follows:

FYI: hda1 is a 32meg /boot partition.
nfs is the DNS name of my NFS server (and is expanded to append my 
domain by resolv.conf)
