Description Andrew Archibald 2006-05-06 15:27:34 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Whenever I open an mp3 in Konqueror by browsing in through "media:/" and double clicking on it, the file is copied to /home/<user>/ before being opened in Noatun. I have a freshly installed copy of Debian testing (etch) which has KDE 3.5.2. Is this expected behaviour when browsing local drives in that way?

Tommi,

After a bit of further investigation, it seems this problem only occurs 
when I use Noatun.

If you need any more information please let me know.

Thanks,
Andrew.

And it happened even when you try to play a song over a protocol like smb.

Anyway, can you still reproduce using KDE 3.5.10?
Comment 3 Peter Teichmann 2009-03-24 00:02:41 UTC
Can still be reproduced with KDE 3.5.10. I was just wondering why my home directory became polluted with mp3 files since January 2008, and the cause seems to be noatun. 

Very annoying, indeed! Seems I will have to find a replacement for noatun.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2012-07-02 16:25:27 UTC
noatun has not been part of the KDE 4 release and is no longer maintained.

KDE now offers Dragon as a video player and JuK as a music player. Additionally, other popular KDE players have been ported to KDE 4, such as Amarok or Kaffeine.

If this issue is still applicable to KDE 4 applications, please add a comment or file a new report.
