Which phonon backend are you using? You can change the phonon backend
and restart Amarok to see if that helps. Don't forget to install the
mp3 codecs for the backend you choose.

That is not a bug, but on purpose. Just disable the "Watch folders for
change" option in the collection settings and do the updates manually
from the menu when you add files to the collection.

Hm, I don't really remember the previous versions that well, but the
"Now playing applet" is not really meant to search for last played
tracks, that is something you can do with the collection browser
filter.

We usually do not support to roll back to previous versions, as it can
break quite easily, but you should upgrade to Amarok 2.4.1 which came
out this week and brings a lot of bugfixes.


Regards, Myriam.
