Here as of recent my Amarok player has started crashing and I am not sure why. It doesn't display any errors, it just freezes, and then one of the bug report email things pops up. Opening it back up fails...it acts like it tries to load then quits. If I try and open it via command after a crash it just sits there. Restarting X is the only way I have been able to bring it back up until it decides to crash again. So I am not too sure what's up as it was working great up until now.

I am running Slack 11 and I ended up removing the Slackware version of the app (the version bundled with Slackware) and going with a newer one (1.4.5). Even the newer one has crashed too.

Has anyone here had issues with it?

I have same problem, except that Amarok crashes are kinda rare.

I have the solution: don't use Amarok. It's lame. Use XMMS.

Yeah....I am running it now and things are going ok. But it's like every now and then it'll crash. And I ran it for a good 2-3 months fine before this started happening. I have really grown to like Amarok as it makes navigating and listening to my mp3 collection (which is over 4600 songs now) great...so I'd prefer not to switch to another app.

You've downloaded, or ripped, 4600 songs?! That's 4600 times more illegal than I suspected! Someone inform the RIAA!

That's not as bad as some people lol. I heard someone the other day talking about how they had over 10K songs. Most of them are ripped from my CDs actually.

Same here, I have over 25GB of mp3's, most were given to me by friends on the net, some are from my other friends CD's, and I prefer Amarok also. Amarok, when installed can have over 30 dependencies, my guess is that a recent update probably did this. Maybe a bug report will help, next time that "email bug report thing" pop's up, fill it out and send it. I have had the joy of doing bug reports and sure enough, the problem got fixed in very little time when you send that "email bug report thing".

XMMS has integrated last.fm support? Can I see songs lyrics with one mouse click? Or information about the band? Can it manage mp3 files? Or queue tracks? Stop playing after last queue's track? Search for items in the playlist? Upload stuff to my iPod? Does XMMS has collection (or whatever its called) so that I could easily upload couple albums or tracks to playlist? If any answer is no, then XMMS is so unfuckingbelievable lame. Oh and yes, I like to have albums covers.
