Bug Description

Binary package hint: amarok

Hi everyone,
first of all thank you for the best media player overall...
But I got a little problem with it:
I chose amarok to find all covers itself. All worked perfectly exept this: In my collection are some bootlegs all with the MP3-album-Tag "(live)". Amarok interpreted that as if all are from the same album and gave it some cover. Of course I don't want that cover and tried to erase it with right mouse button -> erase cover (I hope I got the right translation, because my amarok is in German). But that doesn't help at all. I guess that's because the cover is connected with different artists.

If you need any further information please ask, I'll try to answer them as good as I can.

Thank you for the bug report, televator. There is now a newer version of Amarok out, 1.4.7. Can you replicate this problem in the newer version?

Hi Mr. Young,

I'm sorry to have to tell you, that the problem is still there, but now a little bit different: now it has nothing to do with the fact, that the album "(live)" is by various artists but with the title "(live)" (with brackets!). All covers with that can't be erased!
Again, for further information feel free to ask.
Thank you for doing such a great job with amarok!

Is this still valid in Amarok 1.4.8?

Hi Mrs. Pintscher,

yes it is, I checked it a minute ago. I also checked my amarok is 1.4.8.
Once again, please contact me, if I could help you.

Where are you trying to unset the cover?
It seems like I am having the same problem here when I unset it in the tag dialog.
It works though when I unset it in the context browser.
Can you try that please?

Hi again,
you're right, it is possible to get rid of the covers by unsetting it in the context browser!
That solves the problem, but there is still the bug, that I can't unset it with the cover-manager.
Anyways, thank you very much!

Upstream is not accepting bugs for Amarok 1.4.x, so invalidating upstream task.

This bug is quite likely not a problem with Amarok 2, most of which has been completely rewritten. As such I am closing this bug as fixed. Amarok 2 packages can be found for both Intrepid (See kubuntu.org) as well as for Jaunty, where it will become the default music player for Kubuntu 9.04.
