> Hi (Ama)rockers,
>
> I started using Amarok 1.4.9.1 on Ubuntu 8 (with Gnome, not KDE) a week ago,
> and find it hard to operate. I installed Amarok from the default Ubuntu
> Universe library. I found the manual at
> http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-multimedia/amarok/index.html
> but this is very basic indeed. I use Amarok to operate an iPod Classic.
>
> My main issue is that I do not understand how Amarok constructs the
> Collection. Attached are two images, the Nautilus file manager list and the
> Amarok collection representation. One of the files is missing (1st track on
> Nautilus list). I cannot manage to get the collection to reflect the
> contents of the folder with the audio files. Highly irritating.
>
> Secondly, I cannot use the collection manager to move audio files between
> lists on the left-hand side of the collection view in order to get the two
> lists to match. What gives?
>
> Rescanning the collection using the Tools icon in the toolbar does not solve
> the problem. Is there a rational explanation anywhere that will help me to
> get the collection to reflect the files in the collection folder? What is
> the logic followed when constructing a collection?
>
> If the above URL is indeed the main reference for Amarok, I volunteer to
> generate some documentation about interacting with an iPod (USB as well as
> Bluetooth), but this assumes that I can get Amarok to operate in a stable
> way.
>
> I have not managed to find any other docs that could address the problem.
> Any advice would be appreciated.
>
> Kind regards,
> Willemf
