Collection Update

[Andrew Turner]

Stuart,

As far as I know, official support for preserving statistics having
moved files only happened with AFT ( http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/AFT )
in Amarok 1.4.3. I'm surprised it's showing you any of your previous
statistics at all.

I'm sure you realise how old 1.3.8 is and that it's really not
practical for us to continue to support it - I, for one, wasn't
developing Amarok when it was released.

My advice would be to upgrade Amarok assuming you have permissions to
do so, and probably clear your database and start again. If you really
want to try and save your scores, have a look at the statistics table
(before you upgrade) and try to work out what's wrong with its
contents (eg old URLs) and fix them.
