So I arrived home this morning from nearly 25 hours of flying, and was compelled to cvs up. Three months of travelling surely makes the heart grow fonder. I have found that amarok has matured substantially, we are picking up on fixing those picky bits.
Ever liked an album so much, that you have bought all their albums? I'm sure most of us come close at least. Then to top it off, a Greatest Hits album is released in which all of, if not most of the tracks you already have. Why did you buy the CD? Because you had to. The attraction of another invaluable collective piece.
I have many such discs. What I don't really like is having amarok show me the 1 or 2 tracks without the listing of the other tracks. Why? Lets face it, because I am anal about my music collection. Thats why I love amarok so much (amongst the hundreds of other reasons!).
So I had an idea. What if amarok could symbolically link songs to be in other albums? Wouldn't that be cool? it wouldn't have to be very complex, it could still keep all the attributes of the original album, except track number. I had a long think about it, and couldn't come up with any practical way of achieving this utopian listing, without totally screwing everything and everyone around.
Anyone have suggestions?
Take care,
seb
ps - i'll have photos of my trip on the web some time soon!
I am sad since there will be a delay in getting a final iso out for amaroK LiveCD. The final tweaking is taking a lot of time, and I am trying to resolve a few minor issues to make this thing work on as many machines as possible. The last I want to happen is for this thing to suck and have people blast amaroK because it doesn't work right.
I received some late feedback from a couple of the testers that made me want to do one more revision. Most of the problem are little details (polish, if you will) that make the cd regress properly if things like the network are unavailable, etc.
I will post more later, but it will be out soon.
