If you wish to help with development, I would recommend that you join
us on #amarok on irc.freenode.net. Then we could discuss what is
already done, the architecture thoughts behind it and what still needs
doing.

Thats just the nature of the beast when it comes to free software
development. As most people are contributing in their own free time,
it is natural that they start out doing what interests them the most
and then later move on to getting stuff ready for release.


Actually, the collection scanner does work, it is just a bit....
quirky.... Try following this 5 step guide:

1. Delete ~/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/collection.db
2. in the settings, define which directories should be scanned
3. select "rescan collection" from the tools menu
4. restart amarok
5. repeat step 3 and 4 a few times until it works.
