Chris H Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I've been tidying some audio file names up to make the display more meaningful, both in the file browser and within amarok. So say I change a file name from gibberish.mp3 to songname.mp3, amarok isn't displaying the altered title. So I cut the file out of the directory and put it somewhere else. Start amarok and that deleted the content entry. Shutdown amarok. Paste the renamed file back into the folder. Restart amarok and it reads it in with the gibberish file title as the name. So amarok is storing this in an sqlite database somewhere and I need to find out how to get in there and either delete the entry or tinker with it. See what I need to do? Any ideas?

daniewicz Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 under Tools there is a Rescan, does this do what you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 If the Rescan doesn't work for you: I've no idea what version of KDE you're using, but take a look in your ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok directory for the collection.db. If it's in there, delete it. Open Amarok and build a new collection.db. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Thought that deleting the ./..amarok directory would do it but no joy, must be reading it from the id3 tags or whatever. Have now checked each file using musicbrainz and all is well. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
