amarok issues

[András Csányi]

Hi All,

This is my first letter to this list. I cant say that I'm a big Amarok
user. I like the services of the Amarok, especially the lyrics part.
I have few issues and I would like to get some advises, suggestions.

First issue:
I have a directory (300G) filled with music (~22.000 files) and it's
growing. I set up this directory in Amarok as collection directory and
I set up mysql database connection as well. This directory have
already scanned few times by Amarok but the database is empty. Strange
the database is already created by amarok but isn't populated. What
should I do to achieve a populated and managed database by Amarok?

Second issue:
This directory is added to the playlist. I accepted that to adding to
the playlist it took almost 10 minutes but hard to accept that every
start of Amarok takes almost 10 minutes. As I saw at every start this
directory is scanned. Why? This directory already managed by Amarok.

My questions:
- What is the advantages set up collection directory? To adding music
to playlist is faster or Amarok starts faster?
- What is the advantages of using mysql to store the collection data?

Thanks for the answers in advance!

András
